As an Iranian girl, 23 years old, The long support of USA officials of countries government of Saudi Arabia?

Question

and Pakistan is not comprehensive for me at all.
While Saudi Arabia had a major role in 911 catastrophe , infact, 11 of 15 of 911 highjackers have been sponsored by this country, Iranian residents were among the few Muslim countries that hold demonstration on 9 11.
Secondly , polls is indicative of the fact that most Saudis are hostile toward Americans 11 in contrast with Iranians who are proAmericans .
In my country , more freedom have been given to women compare to other Muslim counties in middle east , women are allowed to drive , vote and run for office and 65 % of Iran university are women to the sharp contrast with country Saudi Arabia that in their country women have been deprived from the very basic rights of a human being.
Saudi Arabia helped finance the Taliban. Saudi Arabia private charities help sustain Al Qaeda as well and 90 % of American troops casualties has been caused by Sunni insurgencies financed and backed by Saudi Arbia and Pakistan. I do not deny my government interference in Iraq and though, I would not support their doings in Iraq that has been largely exaggerated by Bush and friends, I would understand their reasons that why they desire this time to have a more friendlier regime in Iraq and that why they strongly desire not have to struggle with another hostile regime like Saddam backed by U.S once more . In total , I think , American neocons are not searching for peace and stability in middle east but quite on the contrary they strongly support terrorism and extremism and their support of the two countries of Saudi and Pakistan is well indicative of this fact.
My question is that why should not Iran with more democrat government and pro American people have the support of USA instead of Saudi Arabia whose people are extremely hostile towards Americans ?
About Nuclear power, Iran is not developing nuclear weaponry unlike Pakistan with people whose 90 % of suicide bombers have been financed and supported by them.About Nuclear power, Iran is not developing nuclear weaponry unlike Pakistan with people whose 90 % of suicide bombers have been financed and supported by them.
Iran has the second largest population of Jews after Israel unlike countries like Saudi Arabia whose government do not allow religion diversity

Mr. Grinch
Being pro American does not mean that one should like American policy also . Iranians like and admire Americans but majority of Iranians do not like American policy toward this country , American government has done several atrocities to my country such as the CIA-backed coup in 1953 that overthrew a democratically elected prime minister; the decades of U.S. support for the unpopular Shah; the help given to Saddam Hussein during his eight-year war against Iran; and the shooting down of an Iranian airliner over the Persian Gulf in 1988, killing all 260 people aboard. The United States says it was a horrible accident; the Iranian government maintains it was deliberate. American government shows trough decades that they are not in favor of democracy but instead they largely supported thoracic regimes of Shah in Iran and current regime of Saudi Arabia and Egypt , Africa and etc… . Iran unlike what you said can not always relay on its gas and oil resources and we need for sure

an alternative source that can supply our electricity in near future. Iran natural oil and gas resources are going to finish sometime between 15 to 20 years from now. And when I say Iranians are proAmericans , they really are that is why I found most of my people unaware of the fact that America in not their savor from the corrupt regime of Mullahs , on the contrary what I America is doing in just following its interests and would you really think America’s interests can be an Iranian interests also ? I hope one day Americans and Iranians get aware of the fact that they do not need likes of Bush and Cheney, Ahmaidnejad speaking for them and from their behalf.

Answer 1

So what's the questions. Do you think you can convince US by saying this. wake up girl... Satan have his own agneda. don't follow rhetorics

Answer 2

The enemy of my enemy is my friend isn't just an Arab saying. It was taken litterally during the Cold War. Both the Soviet Union and the U.S. went to weird extremes to "create allies." The Soviet Union literally walled their's in and made them prisoners. The U.S. back dictators and in the case of the peaceful democratic country of Nicaragua, tried to take it over using former corrupt soldiers called Contras. After the mid 1980s, after the Cold War, the U.S. has switched gears and started to clean up the mess. The first strikes were in Panama, Grenada and the Philipines. In the case of Grenada, the spere of Cuba was shortened. In the cases of Panama and the Philipines, dictators were taken out and peaceful Democracies were put in their place. Panama and the Philipines were the models for Iraq. When Bush Sr. came on board, the first Iraq war started. Now this war never really ended and is the same war fought today. He did try to fix Somalia, but this is the second (the first being the car bombing that killed several U.S. troops that happened when the U.S. tried to fix Lebanon in the early 80s) real sign that politically the U.S. would only stomach a few hundred casualties. President Clinton took that message of allowing only a few casualties to heart when the U.S. and NATO went after Yugoslavia. The U.S. quickly declared victory and left. In reality, NATO has been "bogged down" in the former Yugoslavia ever since. When the current president took office, he wasn't interested in nation building. His whole administration was picked as people that were not nation builders. In the case of the head of the U.S. emergency recovery department called FEMA, the leader was picked just because he was somebody's friend. That lasted 9 months when the twin towers and the Pentagon were hit not to mention the death of those on the planes. As with the those attacks and hurricane Katrina, the individuals in government are very isolationists and only care about themselves and refuse to take responsibility unless it makes them look good. The CIA, department of defense and FBI could be tracking the same guy and none of the departments would know it. Homeland Security, yet another agency, was formed to control responsibility and information. So far it resembles the Iraqi government because it doesn't have the leadership or the authority to counter incompetency and infighting. It also doesn't help that politicans get most of their information about a varity of information from lobbyists because lobbyists pay for people to listen and major politicans require millions of dollars to get their point across during election time. Of course there is only so much time, so only the major lobbiests get to put their message across. Israel is one of those major lobbiests, but so is Saudi Arabia along with oil companies, China and defense contractors. Meanwhile people in Saudi Arabia are probably arming and helping (if not outright joining) the hostile Sunnis in Iraq and Israel has been selling weapons to China which is a major weapons supplier to Pakistan (where some in the Pakistan government are helping arm the Taliban). So that's why the U.S. politicans are taking money from people that are arming the enemies of the U.S. with possible U.S. technology and why it's probably not going to change soon.

Answer 3

Perhaps it's a matter of perception. The perception is that Iranians are particularly hostile to Americans. This is primarily based on: 1) the overthrow (seemingly backed by the people) of Shah Mohamed Reza Pahlavi, who was very pro-American; 2) Iranian students taking American diplomats hostage, with the support of the government of Ayatollah Khomeini; 3) ongoing rhetoric from Iranian politicians saying things like "America is the great satan" ; and 4) Iran's enrichment of uranium. Let's face it: a country with as much oil and natural gas as Iran doesn't need nuclear power; all they have to do is build oil- or gas-fired generating plants to supply electricity. They're enriching uranium to build nuclear weapons. And they've threatened to use them to wipe Israel off the map.
Contrast that with Saudi Arabia. There are still thousands of American citizens working in numerous industries in Saudi Arabia, but no one has taken them hostage (admittedly, there have been attacks on Americans, but most of them were on American soldiers). The government of Saudi Arabia is making no public threats to America, even if many of its citizens hate Americans. While some of Al Queda support in the form of money and personnel came from Saudi Arabia, it appears (at least publicly) to have come from individuals, not the kingdom's government.
As for Pakistan, yes, the citizens aren't exactly the best friends to Americans. The U.S. believes it must keep Pakistan as an ally in order to effectively fight against Al Queda and the Taliban next door in Afghanistan. But that means they suck up to the Pakistani government, not the Pakistani people.
So as I said previously, a lot of how the U.S. acts is based on perceptions--perceptions which aren't always right. Americans think Iranians are religious nutbars who would prefer to live in a primitive world without any western influences. When I lived in Iran 30 years ago, I found Iranians to be friendly, intelligent, sensitive, creative people, and, like the rest of the world's people, imperfect. I hope the time will come when western nations can again be friends with the great nation of Iran and its people, and we can grow to respect and cherish our similarities and differences without trying to dominate or exploit each other.

Answer 4

You are the only Iranian I know who doesn't want the muslim government removed to return to a secular government.

Iran has the worlds larget natural gas reserves and second largest crude reserves, they will last more than 15-20 years, especially since Iran cannot meet it's production quota due to an antiquated infrastructure. Instead of investing in it's economy Iran has been investing in it's armed services and WMD.

Answer 5

I hope the US and Iran become friendly too. Your leader isn't doing the reputation of Iran any favours sponsoring Holocaust denial conferences but I would agree that, as a given, the US government is among the more terroristic ones on the planet. On both sides, religion is the problem. Islam, as interpreted by the Ayatollahs, isn't compatible with freedom and democracy and Christianity, as interpreted by the neocons, is brutal.

Answer 6

I don't believe most Iranians are pro-American. Many Americans are still bitter about the hostage crisis after all these years which dragged on and on and on. I really thought Iran was headed in the right direction until that lunatic was elected, and he started talking about annihilating other countries, and denying the holocaust.

Answer 7

PAKISTAN IS NOT IN SUPPORT OF TERRORISM! PEOPLE LIVING IN PAKISTAN ARE THE LATEST VICTIMS OF TERRORISM!!!!!!! AND WE KNOW PAKISTAN HAVE NUCLEUR WEAPONS, THEY HAVE HAD FOR SOME TIME NOW. THEY TOO HAD TO GO THROUGH THE SANCTIONS ETC.

AND YOUR POINT IS... THAT ON A WHOLE IRANIANS AGREE WITH AMERICAN IDEOLOGY UNLIKE PAKISTAN? YOU OBVIOUSLY DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT PAKISTAN, POLITICS OR MUCH ABOUT THE HISTORY OF PAKISTAN.

SO INSTEAD OF PLAYING THE 'BLAME' GAME, IT WOULD BE BETTER IF WE ALL LEARNED TO LIVE PEACEFULLY, SIDE BY SIDE.

Answer 8

The relationship between the U.S. and the House of Saud can't really be expected to suffer because of 3,000 dead civilians at the hands of a few radical Wahabbis on 9/11/01. The U.S. doesn't care how the Saudis treat their women, or political adversaries, as long as the oil keeps flowing. Our military power, and every aspect of our economy depends on oil. If the house of Saud loses control of their kingdom to the Wahabbis, oil or no oil, Arabia will become the newest member of "the axis of evil"

Pakistan is a different case because they already have nuclear weapons. To our way of thinking, those weapons MUST be kept out of the hands of extremists in that country. That is why our Government supports President Musharraf. The day he fails to escape an assassination attempt, or is replaced by a Jihadi, Pakistan will become the newest member of the "axis of evil".


Saddam Hussein got out of control during his U.S. supported war against Iran. Using chemical weapons against Iran was tolerated. Using them against the Kurds was tolerated. Endangering our oil supply by invading Kuwait was not tolerated. Even so, at the end of the first Gulf War he was left in power to counter-balance Iran. Iran's constitutional commitment to fostering Global Islamism makes us wary.

Saddam's fatal error was demanding Euros for his oil instead of Dollars. That threatened to upset the U.S. monopoly on oil trade.
That's the real reason we went to Iraq a second time.
Relations between our countries were already strained over support of Hezbollah and Hamas, the nuclear enrichment program, and the Bushehr power plant the Russians are building.

We had already invaded Afghanistan, and made the mistake of invading Iraq by 2003.
Then your government made the same mistake as Saddam.

Iran's support of Shia militias in Iraq, letting weapons flow across the border were bad enough, but was overlooked until Shia militias began fighting Americans as well as Sunnis.

To make matters worse, last year, President Ahmedinajad hosted a Holocaust Conference where he was quoted saying
"the Zionist regime in Israel will be wiped from the pages of time".
The newspaper and television media in the west are owned and operated almost exclusively by Zionists. They continually misquote President Ahmedinajad as having said
"Israel will be wiped from the face of the Earth".
To President Bush and the supporters of Israel in our government this sounded like a direct threat to Isreal. They still want to find a way to punish Iran for supporting Hezbollah and Hamas in their fight against the Israeli occupation of Palestine.

Some people (like me) do not hate Iran or Iranians, but are very wary of allowing Iran to become a regional or nuclear power because of your country's support of terrorism.
I have no hatred for Jews, but like many, I also view Zionism as a threat to my country and world peace. Likewise, I am sure you see U.S. involvement in the Middle East and the actions of our President as a threat to your great nation. I pray daily that cooler heads will prevail, and a more thoughtful examination of foriegn policy will take hold in both our governments.

Answer 9

Really? Wow. Just wow. I guess we do exaggerate stuff a little. How'd you learn to speak and write English? Just curious.

I wouldn't be so sure about the nuclear weaponry though. Our government didn't tell us about it when they were making nuclear weapons.

Answer 10

no matter how many times people ask me this question,no matter the different forms in which they ask this similar question i have only 1 answer._:_-> DO NOT KEEP WILD ANIMALS AS YOUR PETS.THEY WILL NEVER BE YOUR BEST FRIENDS.THEY CANNOT BE DOMESTICATED. THEY OBEY AS LONG AS YOU GIVE THEM FOOD THAT THEY LIKE.IF YOU FAIL AND SOMEONE ELSE STEPS IN WITH MORE ATTRACTING OFFERS THEY DO NOT HESITATE TO THRASH YOU..
SO BE FAIR WHEN DEALING WITH THESE RODENTS CALLED TERRORISTS WHO ARE DESTROYING ALL THE FIELDS OF THE WORLD.PUNISH AND EXTERMINATE THEM WHEREVER THEY ARE.EVEN IF THEY ARE IN A COUNTRY THAT IS FRIENDLY TO YOU.
