An exerpt frpm a british national newspaper today with the quote from Ghazal Omid.
"Duribg the years i was studying in Iran we were lined up at 7am to shout Death to Americs, Death to Israel, Death to the UK, Death to France, Death to Germany"
"They are brainwashing children. The Iranian government is turning them into ticking time bombs".
There are also images of 12 year old girls shouldering AK47's and school textbooks with instructions on how to use modern weaponry.
Is it safe to admit brainwashed individuals of any culture into our countries? Do you want your children to socialise with such people?
When are we going to stop turning a blind eye to this?

Here is how I see it:
Yes in some situations in Iran, children and young adults attending extremist schools and organizations are indoctrinated in dangerous ideologies. These ideologies promote intolerance and ultimately murder.
But this is not unique to Iran; it is not even unique to the Muslim world. The same crap happens all over the world, even in the west. People of all skin colors and religious backgrounds are "brainwashed" to disrespect, hate, and ultimately support the killing of other people.
In South Africa white Christians were taught disrespect for blacks (disrespect is too light a word). Young Jews in Israel are taught how to use weaponry and view Arabs as sub-humans. Americans on yahoo answers suggest nuking the middle east on a daily basis. Young African boys are taken from their families at young ages and "drafted into rebel armies when they should be in elementary school.
I know and am friends with many Iranians. I have never met an Iranian I didn't like. Most of them don't like their government, and wish they could escape to a liberal place like the US, UK, or France. Many families secretly hide their TV satellite dishes, and watch western TV programs, news, and Internet.
Like most wars and conflict, this isn't a war of the people, but a war of those that run our nations. These so called leaders do not represent their peoples true needs are desires. This is a universal problem felt through the whole world. From the US to the UK, to China and Iran, people are not being properly represented .
The leaders are sucking their innocents in to useless conflicts. Being an American, I can say this first hand. We see all around us Fundamentalist Christians who are indoctrinated at young ages in extremist religious dogma, exposed to violent mind sets, and shown death and killings in our films, TV, and Video games. How many of our youth have made their minds up about things they don't understand? Brainwashed!

Why wouldn't you expect a country to be alarmed when they see the big bully, United States of America, unconstitutionally and illegally invade another sovereign nation for no justifiable reason??
Why wouldn't Iran be fanatical about protecting itself from the very same fate??
Every elementary school student knows the only way to beat the schollyard bully is to stand up to him and let him know you are not afraid of him. Iran (and many other countries across the globe) are beginning to recognize that the only way to protect itself from the bully Bush is to show him that they'll fight to the death! Yes, perhaps Iranian citizens are being brainwashed by their government; but it's no different from the way the "evil empire" (Bush administration) has tried to brainwash citizens of the U.S.A. into believing that terror lurks around the world. The reason there are terrorists is because terrorists like George W. Bush, who is stronger, richer and more powerful, wants to take control of the world (or, at least, regions of the world where he and his Exxon-Mobil buddies can profiteer from easily-accessible cheap foreign oil and "war"). -RKO-

Well it depends on the people. Yes, the iraniann governiment is a bit wacky. No wait, I correct myself, they are complete fanatics. But hey, according to the democrats, We're the evil ones. And there aren't any terrorists in the world, so this report must obviously be false.
(in case you didn't notice, that was sarcasm)
As for when we stop with the blind eye?
How about when we stop degrading ourselves and do what is right for the country, not what is right for the political parties?

It relies upon on the type you word it. the guy who informed you this possibly plasters it on and makes it seem cakey and unnatural. a sprint is going an prolonged way with concealer, and the factor its basically that, to cover a difficulty. purely over it on the blemish, if there are 4 or 5 blemishes in a small section, do no longer cover the whole section, purely the blemish, and verify you mixture it in on your putting out to make it seem organic. I additionally discover that putting it with a powder enables shop it in place all day simply by fact no longer something is extra embarrassing that overlaying imperfections purely to have them reappear 4 hours later. prepare at it, tremendously in the sunshine which you would be seen maximum in. Fluorescent lights in a school or place of work could make a huge distinction in the visual allure of makeup, and this individual might no longer have been conscious of that.

From what I hear, the Iranian government brainwashing of children has not been very effective. They go along with the obligatory "Death to America, death to UK" chant, but it doesn't reflect their private opinions.
So, It could be a good idea to welcome some of them into the country. They could help us to prepare for the coming conflict.

This isn't a question, it's a rant. It doesn't belong here.
