Why would I hate you just because you are from Iran? Do you hate me just because I am from the United States? No one has the choice of where they are born, it's only what you do after you are born that matters. So to hate any particular person just because they are from a particular country is nonsense. Now, one might disagree withthe ideology of a particular country's government, and tothe extent that a government may have consent of the people for its course then you might, by association, say the people are responsible for its governemtns in a broad sense. But if I were to take any impoverished, starving North Korean peasant and say I hate that person just because it's country has a corrupt and nasty dictator as leader would be stretching things quite a bit.
I live in the US and I may disagree with the things George Bush says and does and think his foreign policy is a shambles and causes more problems than it solves. Still, there are people in Iran and elswheere who shout "death to America" despite the fact that maybe less than half the people support the ideas of George Bush. Would you hate me for that?
I think Mahmoud Ahmahdinejad has a lot more cards on the table than George Bush when it comes to the Middle East. Whenever I hear George Bush talk about the Middle East he always has a sneer on his face that looks like will break out into a smirk any moment and he says thing that are nothing more than opinionated rhetoric with no basis in fact. He just says things that make no sense and the stuff he says is so obviously biased and pro-Zionist and rooted in lies that it is getting painful and embarrassing to watch. I think Bush has done more to fuel hate against the US in the Middle East than anyone in a long time. Do you hate me because of that? Bush says things are going well in Iraq; how long can he keep up this charade before it becomes so nonsensical as to be ridiculous? Where is it all going? I could go running around yelling "death to all Iranians" but I doubt that would accomplish anything.
Now, you do have things that have happened in Iran, such as groups that have held Americans hostage and all that, and this is undeniable. Such a thing would never happen in the US because the government would step in, as it has in several cases when oddball fanatics have gone off the deep end, and intervened to end the situation (as in Waco Texas). In Iran, though, it seems like when groups of hostiles grab hostages it is done with tacit government approval and nothing is done to stop it. This is the difference that most Americans see, and it translates into a perception that the government supports these kind of acts. This is one big difference and something that would need to be overcome to change general attitudes in the US.

Answering your first question.
I do not "hate you" because you are Iranian.
Answering your second question about Iranian Terrorists!
International embassy exchange standards do not include the capture of the members of a foreign embassy on local soil.
Ayatollah Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini caused and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad participated in the capture of members of the United States of America Embassy in Tehran in 1979.

It is not secret, Iran supports Hezbollah!

You can verify all of this!

I think Iran is one of the most open arab countries with improving rights for women and minorities. I don't agree with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad saying israel had no right to exist and also that iran need nuclear power. Iran has enough oil to wait for civilian nuclear technology. Iran does support hezbollah financially and supply weapons.... Are they not a terrorist organisation?
Maybe my opinions are wrong and are just western media interests but i also think there must be some truth in the above statements.

Whether your are from Iran or any other country does not necessary make you a terrorist. Terrorist can come from any country, any race and belief. Read the history book. No one is better than other. This world need more forgiveness than hatred.

Hi from Minnesota! What makes you think we believe you're really from Iran? And No I don't hate you just because you are from the middle east. In fact, we could learn a great deal from each other about living in this world peacefully. But we're just mear citizens, what do we know?

No it's just people discriminate other people to make them feel higher than you and better than you. You're just like everyone else but to them your like a terrorist because they just want to be stupid. Dont worry about it just ignore.

No one here hates you. But, when we hear your government, your president threaten us, we get worried. What's with the "death to America" chants? Now your government wants nukes? It's your leadership that bothers us. Not the people.

I don't think anybody should hate you for your country wanting to develop what America and her allies have done decades ago. The young must grow and that what is good for them is equally good for you.
