It has been a while since I have this feeling that US government has a devious idea of promoting a new war with Iran. I like to ask you as citizens of Unite States as well as Senator Obama to be aware of some facts and do not trust the media on this issue. Do your own research and try totally new channels for information. Try sources who know Persian and are aware of cultural issues of Iran as well as political language and use of rhetoric and bluffs in their leaders speeches. The next paragraphs are some of the comments I have put forward in some of the blogs, I present them as I have commented them.
I am sorry to say the media has done so much disservice to American people by misinforming them about Iran. Only because they wanted to create "The other one" to replace Soviet Union. Just because the US foreign policy needs to have an enemy even if they have to create one.
I am sorry to say most people are misinformed, when they use the word dictator referring to Iranian president. (I don't like him either but this has nothing to do with it). There is no country in the world which has had so many elections in the past 20 years, as Iran. There is no country in the world whose populations are so involved in politics and elections.(not suggesting those elections are totally acceptable by our standards).
The percentages of Iranians who participate in elections are highest in the world. Iranian people were amongst the first who sympathized and lighted candles for victims of 9/11. The Iranian president at the time was among the first world leaders who sympathized with the victims. There was not even one Iranian involved in the crime of 9/11.(Iranians are Persians and not Arabs).
Iranian government ideologically is the enemy of Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda considers people of Iran infidels and their blood is permissible to shed. That is why Iran helped US to topple Taliban in Afghanistan. Maliki government is supported by Iranian government, while Saudi king has pledged lots of money to topple the Iraqi government just because of his religious affiliation.
All these are after US supported Saddam in his attack and 8-years war with Iran which caused 1'000'000 young Iranian deaths. The west even supplied chemical weapons to Saddam to use against Iran. The victims of that chemical weapons are still suffering and dying after 15 years one by one in Iran. US CIA toppled the only democratically elected government of Mosaddeq at the time of Iranian dictator shah of Iran 50 years ago.
Iranian people based on their religion do not accept usage of nuclear bomb. Even if the accusations of trying to acquired nuclear weapons were true which there is no proof for it (watch this clip to see how credible sources are totally neglected by media http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StL4VWN2bq8 ), No government is able to use nuclear weapon because of religious reasons.
Iranian people see the peaceful achievements of their scientists very honorable and a source of pride. They see political efforts of US as a mean to stop their scientific progress which has nothing to do with their government. Many Iranians at this time don’t like their president, however many Americans don’t like their president either. That is why the president of Iran most probably won’t be elected again.
I hope people in America get informed and see that all the foreign policy mistakes of US government and the sanctions has only caused suffering and pressure and death on Iranian people who have no animosity towards American people and even American government. I wish for peace for everyone. You are only afraid of what you don’t know. If people are provided with the right information, they would see things differently.
