This is serious. Personal annotations not needed. Think of if I asked what were the first three things that come to mind if I say Germany - most would say beer, brauts, and Nazis or something of that nature. French - cheese, wine, eiffel tower. So what three things come to mind when you think of Iran?

scapegoat, violated, threatened.
Let's look at this with some common sense. The first thing you people need to do is study history, and i do not mean what you see in the news media. actual history.
We covertly overthrew their government over 40 years ago, now that they have stopped taking the Dollar for oil, the U.S. is a little upset.
But you can't blame them, bush named them as one of the "Axis of Evil" and 1 of the other 3 on the list is under controll of the U.S. Government and military.
The only reason we do not hear about N. Korea anymore is because they actualy built a bomb. And they have not Nuked us yet.
And Diplomatic work has gone far with them since the threats from nut job George Bush Ladin stepped out of the picture there.
the U.S. Does not have a good history in the middle east. Remember the Iran Contra deal? The U.S. Was basicly supplying both Iran and Iraq with the tools of war at the same time.
We were acting like a ***** at a cat fight. Egging both sides on and supplying weapons to both sides!
And since when is the U.S. punishing people or countries for supposed crimes before they do them?
Attack and overthrow a country without proof? What will you do when they lock you up for being an enemy combatant before you actualy do anything?
The UN-Patriot act classifies anyone who is affiliated with ANY religous org. as a terrorist!
Did you read that protestants? Christians in general?
Someone who quotes the Constitution is also classified as a terrorist according to the patriot act!
Why would they trust us?
We put Sadam into power, look what we just done to him!
This will be another illegal war for OIL! But the politicians will never tell you the truth, they know the people would not buy that. But our stupid asses will buy a lie and go to war under false pretences, just like we got into IRAQ!
WMD's My ***!
Sadam was ousted and killed(some call it execution) because he dropped the U.S. Dollar for Oil trade and went to the Euro. The first thing the U.S. Did when Sadam was ousted was install a central banking system(U.S. banking system) and the exact same thing happened in afghanistan. as soon as the taliban fell, we installed a U.S. central banking system(they needed afghanistan for the pipeline right of way).
You people have bought lie after lie. Your stupidity make me ashamed of your intellegence sometimes.
By the way OBL and Al CIA DA was created by BUSH Sr. when he ran the cia!
OBL is probably still on the payroll!
We put them in, and then scapegoat them when we no longer need them!
America, We are no longer the good guys because we have bought a lie, and it looks like we will buy some more lies with IRAN from what i am seeing in these post!
I am not asking you to believe me. Look it up yourself!
Wake up America before there is no America to wake up to!

Long history
Cradle of mankind
a stable government and well equipped military. Which doesn't make the government right, but it sure as hell doesn't make them wrong either.
There are two sides to every story. I want to hear the other side about Iran, not just what the government spoon feeds our press and the few reporters that go over there turning over every rock to find anything negative to say.
Peace

Treacherous, misunderstood, and Shakespeare. I mention Shakespeare because they remind me of his political plays, playing off of emotion and deception. I am not really sure what they want. If they are just playing a game blindly hoping to come out okay in the end or making us the fool and planning our downfall.
