Declaration of Independence - 1776 United States of America
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security
This is what the above passage says in clear English.
If there is a government that keeps its people under its boot and put the lifes of ots people in jepordy without regaurd for their safety. It is the right duty of the people to destroy such government and inststute a government of freedom and peace. If your government did not theaten the destuction of Israel and America to the whole world, then we would not have issues with your government. And if your government didn't promote terrorists around the world. Then America would not be the way it is. I am sorry for your plight. I do not really know if our government will be attacking or not.

One thing people need to do is carefully read what is being said. Although the media is reporting that we have threatened Iran - if you pay really close attention, you would notice that the US Government has not actually made any threats of military action.
The Iranian government is spreading war scares in order to maintain political power and the news media is spreading war scares in order to increase ratings.
BTW - think back to one year ago. There was an identical war scare in the news media. And the year before that there was a war scare. Etc. Etc.

According to credible studies, only 56,000 Iraqi's have died from 2003 to 2007 in our war with Iraq, and most of them were at the hands of their own people or Muslims who came into the country to fight.
The US doesn't hit civilian targets. We are capable of hitting military targets with exceptional accuracy. (In fact, Iraqi military authors have commented on this. We don't just target buildings, we target the communication closets inside the buildings and can leave the rest of the building standing. Israel demonstrated this in its war with Lebanon last year. They shot a missile from about 20 miles away and took out the office of a Palestinian terror leader. The missile went through the window of the office and left the rest of the building intact.)
This is what happens when you have leaders who sponsor terrorism around the world. Your leaders put us in danger, and they put you in danger, as well. Both the US and Israel understand this, and we are always reluctant to go to war because of the civilian casualties that result. Just look at what's happening in the US right now. Some of our own people are bitter about going to war and have expressed their views by electing to office those who promise to end the war.
If we had any other form of government, like a monarchy or a religious component, or even a dictatorship, all of your people would be in danger and we would have obliterated your country by now. You should be thankful that it's America and not Iraq attacking you again.
(By the way, I met an Iranian-born man at my university who has two sons. One serves in the United States Army, and the other serves in the Iranian Air Force. Our government has no way of hiding the reality of war from us when we have your own immigrated citizens here among us.)

I met a young Iranian man years ago who was attending a military college here in the USA. He was a great guy and worked in my fathers friends body shop. He loved working on American cars and since I was in my late teens and I loved working on them too we became friends. He told me what life was life over there and at the time the Iran Hostage crisis was just getting geared up. Iran started recalling all it's citizens from America and that included him. I remember he was scared to death at the time because he knew that when he got back there was a very good chance he would be executed for being schooled in America and he was debating on fleeing so he wouldn't have to return if the Shaw was overthrown. One day he said good bye, he said he was going back because all his family was still there and if he didn't return they may be harmed.I never heard from him again after that. I guess the moral of this story is that citizens of any country should never be this afraid of its own government. The USA may have it's faults, but I don't remember anyone being scared they would be executed for being schooled in another country, or have their family threatened. I got it first hand that this is what your government was like. Thats just WRONG. It is up to you and every other citizen to try and overthrow that or any unjust government. It's your Right, no, it's your duty to do so. I wish you both the best of luck, but it's not just your right to happiness that is at stake, it's every ones the world over and as long as these governments are allowed to exist, no one, no citizen, can be happy or live the good life. Pray and may God Bless you both.

Than you should probably try to get a new leader.......one who isn't threatening to erase a country off the map with nuclear weapons. Say what you want, but the US only wants to stop that from happening. Stand up in your country and hopefully your government will listen, but its sad that your leader is crazier than ours. At least Bush has never went on worldwide television calling for a nation to be wiped off the map....and i saw you dancing in the streets when the twin towers fell, what about those families?

Fear of Nuclear War is universal. I have 5 children, I don't want war. No one wants war. War is an unstoppable evil sometimes. The people's of all war torn countries have begged for war to stop, but still it goes on.
I hope there will be no war. That you have a long blessed marriage and my children grow to be fine citizens. I hope our countries find a truce.

Well, America has bombs and missles that hit on an exact target without collateral damage, so if Iran Fs up, don't be hanging around a nuclear facility or insurgent safehouse. You should be alright.

I am very sorry for you & your husband but you have to keep your courrage intact & don't feel upset & insecured all the time then you will be broken down. This is nothing new, all these powerplays always hamper common people's life. If you can, try to migrate to a safer (!) country.

People have the government they are willing to tolerate. The people of Iran threw out the Shah. They can throw out the nut cases they have now.
