The only glaring difference is that Islamists in Iran are more isolationist than the neocons here in the states, which have global imperalistic ambitions.

Those who take mythical ideals and try to impose them on the real world are going to have similar characteristics, whether they are imams, commissars or capitalists. If you strip the veneer of doctrine away from the violence you will find the same determination to force the rest of us squares into their round hole.
The fundament is, of course, centred on a round hole.
Both the Islamic fascists and the Corporate fascists have the same desire, which is to standardize thought. Since free thought is a vital part of man's evolutionary process it can be argued that both sides are being true to their reality denying agendas. It would be nice if they could kill each other off without endangering the rest of us, but that won't happen.
Further, history has demonstrated what will happen here. Neither side will win, but both will be too exhausted to defend themselves when a third party attacks the survivors. We had better be teaching our children Mandarin.

No... like so many in this country... they do not see us sliding ourselves closer and closer to being the very thing we hate.
We torture people, we hold them without charges and without recourse, we spy on our own people without warrants - sounds alot like China or Iran, doesn't it?

Are Libs aware that they highly resemble the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four?

We understand that secular progressives think this. This is fallacious, however, if you examine the roots of the US.
In our nation, ultra-conservatives are not interested in forcing religion on all Americans, as some think. But we are interested in being allowed to worship freely. And we accord atheists that same right.
You will not find this freedom in Iran. I have studied the exodus of Iranian Christians in the 1980's from Iran.

I doubt it. I'm not sure if most of them know where iran is. except for the fact that it doesn't like the U.S. and it has oil.

They are counting on it. That's why they are making provocative statements and actions, hoping Iran will respond stupidly and give them an excuse to attack.

the utterances of a troll:
"a troll is someone who intentionally posts derogatory or otherwise inflammatory messages about sensitive topics in an established online community such as an online discussion forum to bait users into responding.[1] They may also plant images and data on networks that others may find disturbing (usually indirectly relating to the individual in person) in order to cause confrontation"

The people in the US, who fall into your category, are white. The people of Iran are brown. The two groups look very different. They do not resemble each other.
