Iran: Bomb it or fix it.?

Question

Since the end of WWII the U.S. policy in the middle-east has been to prevent fundamentalists takeovers in those countries. As part of that policy, a covert operation toppled a popular leader in Iran and placed the Shah in power. The decades of human rights violations committed by the Shah of Iran makes Saddam look like a boy scout in comparison.
It isn't any wonder that the people of Iran and the region view the USA as an evil empire. Nothing has ever been done to right this wrong in US foreign policy.
Are relations between the USA and Iran so tainted that the only fix is war?

Answer 1

Live in peace with it.

Answer 2

Since the end of WWII the Iranian policy in the middle-east has been to prevent fundamentalist takeovers in those countries. As part of that policy, a covert operation failed to topple an unpopular leader in the US and placed George Junior in power. The decades of human rights violations committed by the Republicans makes Saddam look like a boy scout in comparison.
It isn't any wonder that the people of the world view the USA as an evil empire. Nothing has ever been done to right this wrong.

Are relations between the corrupt US government and Iran so distorted by the zionist lead media that the only fix is war?

Answer 3

Yes, war will be the only solution. The situation has become incredibly tainted. That's why Iran is going nuclear so no damned nation can invade it. Once Iran has nuclear weapons, the U.S. will be forced to withdraw from the great Arab lands.

See, if the U.S. can invade a stable nation, hunt and execute its leader, and give power to fanatics, then every nation is the world would fear the U.S. That's why Iran needs the nuclear weapons.

Also to your original question, you can't bomb Iran. Then you will lose in Iraq and Iranian insurgents will have nuclear material in their hands. Also, Iran is fixed. Who is the U.S. that Iran should bow down to it? Iran has the right to nuclear weapons.

Answer 4

I don't think that the government we replaced with the Shah was fundamentalist. Don't forget, we allied ourselves with fundamentalists and sent them to Afghanistan. Intervention creates more problems than it fixes. What we are facing now are the ghosts of our mistakes in the Cold War. The US has to be careful not to make the same mistakes all over again.

Answer 5

Iranians need to have the full freedoms afforded a free nation. Then they can decide their own destiny. Bombs won't solve the politics or culture of 1500 years. It won't end sectarian violence or civil strife. It won't end a nuclear program. It's up to Iranians to change Iran, not any other outside force. But, if they attack Israel all bets are off.

Answer 6

This question is often hurled at Muslims, either directly or indirectly, during any discussion on religion or world affairs. Muslim stereotypes are perpetuated in every form of the media accompanied by gross misinformation about Islam and Muslims. In fact, such misinformation and false propaganda often leads to discrimination and acts of violence against Muslims. A case in point is the anti-Muslim campaign in the American media following the Oklahoma bomb blast, where the press was quick to declare a ‘Middle Eastern conspiracy’ behind the attack. The culprit was later identified as a soldier from the American Armed Forces.

Let us analyze this allegation of ‘fundamentalism’ and ‘terrorism’:


1. Definition of the word ‘fundamentalist’


A fundamentalist is a person who follows and adheres to the fundamentals of the doctrine or theory he is following. For a person to be a good doctor, he should know, follow, and practise the fundamentals of medicine. In other words, he should be a fundamentalist in the field of medicine. For a person to be a good mathematician, he should know, follow and practise the fundamentals of mathematics. He should be a fundamentalist in the field of mathematics. For a person to be a good scientist, he should know, follow and practise the fundamentals of science. He should be a fundamentalist in the field of science.


2. Not all ‘fundamentalists’ are the same


One cannot paint all fundamentalists with the same brush. One cannot categorize all fundamentalists as either good or bad. Such a categorization of any fund amentalist will depend upon the field or activity in which he is a fundamentalist. A fundamentalist robber or thief causes harm to society and is therefore undesirable. A fundamentalist doctor, on the other hand, benefits society and earns much respect.


3. I am proud to be a Muslim fundamentalist


I am a fundamentalist Muslim who, by the grace of Allah, knows, follows and strives to practise the fundamentals of Islam. A true Muslim does not shy away from being a fundamentalist. I am proud to be a fundamentalist Muslim because, I know that the fundamentals of Islam are beneficial to humanity and the whole world. There is not a single fundamental of Islam that causes harm or is against the interests of the human race as a whole. Many people harbour misconceptions about Islam and consider several teachings of Islam to be unfair or improper. This is due to insufficient and incorrect knowledge of Islam. If one critically analyzes the teachings of Islam with an open mind, one cannot escape the fact that Islam is full of benefits both at the individual and collective levels.


4. Dictionary meaning of the word ‘fundamentalist’


According to Webster’s dictionary ‘fundamentalism’ was a movement in American Protestanism that arose in the earlier part of the 20th century. It was a reaction to modernism, and stressed the infallibility of the Bible, not only in matters of faith and morals but also as a literal historical record. It stressed on belief in the Bible as the literal word of God. Thus fundamentalism was a word initially used for a group of Christians who believed that the Bible was the verbatim word of God without any errors and mistakes.

According to the Oxford dictionary ‘fundamentalism’ means ‘strict maintenance of ancient or fundamental doctrines of any religion, especially Islam’.

Today the moment a person uses the word fundamentalist he thinks of a Muslim who is a terrorist.


5. Every Muslim should be a terrorist


Every Muslim should be a terrorist. A terrorist is a person who causes terror. The moment a robber sees a policeman he is terrified. A policeman is a terrorist for the robber. Similarly every Muslim should be a terrorist for the antisocial elements of society, such as thieves, dacoits and rapists. Whenever such an anti-social element sees a Muslim, he should be terrified. It is true that the word ‘terrorist’ is generally used for a person who causes terror among the common people. But a true Muslim should only be a terrorist to selective people i.e. anti-social elements, and not to the common innocent people. In fact a Muslim should be a source of peace for innocent people.


6. Different labels given to the same individual for the same action, i.e. ‘terrorist’ and ‘patriot’


Before India achieved independence from British rule, some freedom fighters of India who did not subscribe to non-violence were labeled as terrorists by the British government. The same individuals have been lauded by Indians for the same activities and hailed as ‘patriots’. Thus two different labels have been given to the same people for the same set of actions. One is calling him a terrorist while the other is calling him a patriot. Those who believed that Britain had a right to rule over India called these people terrorists, while those who were of the view that Britain had no right to rule India called them patriots and freedom fighters.

It is therefore important that before a person is judged, he is given a fair hearing. Both sides of the argument should be heard, the situation should be analyzed, and the reason and the intention of the person should be taken into account, and then the person can be judged accordingly.


7. Islam means peace


Islam is derived from the word ‘salaam’ which means peace. It is a religion of peace whose fundamentals teach its followers to maintain and promote peace throughout the world.

Thus every Muslim should be a fundamentalist i.e. he should follow the fundamentals of the Religion of Peace: Islam. He should be a terrorist only towards the antisocial elements in order to promote peace and justice in the society.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Iran will always hate the US because their leader is elected because of religion not because of intelligence.
