Answer 2

Iran comes from a long proud history. The seat of the Persian empire which was for hundreds of years the most powerful nation in the world. Before converting to Islam and during the first couple centuries afterwards Iran/Persia was one of the most tolerant nations in the world. A tolerance that has disapated during the long dark centuries since.

I have known several Iranians who fled Iran after the Shah fell. Also talked to many still living in Iran and I get the impression of a deeply divided nation. In some areas Iran has modernized while others seem as backward technologically and culturally as bush villages deep in the hills of Afghanistan. The Islamic extremists put in power by the Iranian revolution do not seem to represent even the majority of Iranians but have remained firmly in power. So much so that a member of their execution squads a man who likely pulled the trigger personally on fellow Iranians who had the misfortune to be religious or political disidents is now the official leader of Iran. A man who claims the holocust never happened and part of a political group who put a bounty on the head of a man for merely writing a book they did not like.

I see a nation who does not have the air power to defend nuclear weapons yet who clearly wants them. So it's a nation that could only use them as a first strike weapon not for any defensive reason. Except for India or Pakistan were a war to break out with a nuclear power Iran's nuclear weapons would be destroyed within hours of the outbreak of hostilities. The economic costs of Iran's nuclear program and the inevitable loss of Iranian lives due to accidents and problems with disposal of nuclear waste just makes no sense. Yet most Iranians somehow believe their leader or pretend to believe him when he says he wants only nuclear despite turning down solutions for Iran to have nuclear power without the capability of building nuclear weapons.

So I see Iranians as a decieved people. Even those not locked into the dark ages by a group very akin to the Catholic church who ruled Europe with an iron fist during Europe's dark ages, even these the most enlightened of Iran's people seem to somehow believe that Iran's nuclear program can have anything but disasterous effects for it's people.

Consider this. During the Iraq Iran war if Iran had nuclear weapons, after the gas attacks made by Iraq how could Iran resist the temptation to use a nuclear weapon? The consequences from a single detonation would be major. The fallout for instance would find it's way into Iran. So Iran would in effect poison it's own citizens. Other nations would instantly be pulled into the war. Iran and Iraq would have suddenly become the battleground between superpowers. The losers would have been the peoples of Iraq and Iran.

Nuclear weapons are a threat to all humanity. A lesson finally learned by the US and USSR who have drastically reduced our stockpiles. Instead of learning from our mistakes Iran want's to push forward and make the same mistakes but Iran is in a far more volatile region. Iran openly supports terrorists. Openly makes threats against Israel. Who recently attempted to provoke the UK, who if they had taken the bait could have erased the current Iranian government.

So the Iranian people appear to me to be like children. They play with dangerous toys not understanding the consequences. They mistake tolerance for weakness and seem determined to bring ruin upon themselves. The failure to unseat an apparently unpopular government which is leading them to this doom just reinforces this impression I have of Iran.

Answer 3

No real opinion on the Iranian people, haven't met many in my life. Their leadership is another matter. Filled with hate, vitriol and rhetoric, Iran will never be a legitmate player in world politics until it ends this manner of detente.

Answer 4

The Iranian people are fine, just as any other group in the world. Their leaders are the extremists who harbor terrorists and spread terrorism throughout the East. In addition, the leadership is working to create nuclear arms.

Chow!!

Answer 5

The first I learned directly about Iranians was when they were on the TV news, yelling 'Death to Carter, death to America' during the hostage crisis.

I remember thinking "Gee, those are some beautiful people, what are they angry about?"

I know now that they have a long history; I figure , like most people, if we don't bother them, they won't bother us.

Answer 6

I don't know enough about the people of Iran to have an opinion of them. Leadership often does not reflect a countries people.

Answer 7

The way they r handling the American's policies show how faithful n unite they are. They r brave people but r not wilg as Afghanis are. They r intellegent people, but their bad aspect is the corruption in their home country.

Answer 8

my sister was married to an iranian and knew many others who were. so, i am going to give you a non-political answer just based upon my own personal dealings with them. i think they're physically, emotionally and psychologically abusive to both their women and their children. this i base upon not only my sister's experience of routine beatings or, the fact that he felt justified in locking their small kids in a dark closet for most of the day when in trouble but also, the knowledge that many of their friends suffered similarly. i think that it is a heathen mentality, inhumane and uncivilized. i think it exemplifies the backwardness of the iranian culture culture as a whole.

plus, i myself used to live below a group of 3-4 iranian men. they would bring home women from the bars and attempt to force themselves upon them. i would hear screams and struggling on those nights and the police were often called by the women who stood outside stranded and shivering in shock and in fear for their lives - literally. i had more than one of them run down to my apartment banging on the door and screaming for help and begging to be let in so, that is from my own personal experiences.

plus, i realize they have the ritual of slaughtering sheep and splashing the blood over their headboards but when in our country, i really wish they would refrain. i can't tell you the number of apartments i used to have to turn after iranians had moved out that had red paint splattered on the wall and carpet or, dog feces splattered through every room - just left there as though it were completely normal to live that way. i think that when in our country, they should try to conform a bit more to our standards of living and not be so destructive. it was impossible to collect from those who had gone back to iran and this spoke volumes to me about their credibility and desire to not show respect for us, or culture and our property while here.

so, political differences aside i see the whole of their society as being bigoted, disrespectful and arrogant in their attempt to take advantage while here.
encourage and supported in the act of thumbing their nose at us based upon their upbring and arrogance and indoctrinations. hence, i am always inclined to take precautions and generally mistrust them on both a personal and business basis.

honestly.

Answer 9

I have nothing against them :)
I have many Iranian friends, they are so polite (the one i deal with cus i deal with polite people no matter what's their background)

Answer 10

Just like any people, they're great if cooked right, otherwise dry.

Also, most dress rather classy, but some should try brighter colors.
