Iran

Posted on 11/01/2008 12:33:36 PM PDT by libretto1971

In the last year before the presidential campaigns we were facing an interest in engagement with Iran. Two questions, why is Iran being considered a dangerous country here in America and what makes Mahmoud Ahmadinejad such a dangerous man?

Who are you, and why are you here?

...what makes Mahmoud Ahmadinejad such a dangerous man?

Because he intends to vote for Baraq al-Hussein Obama, perhaps?

Hello. You signed up for this question? Well I'll give you answers anyway.

The islamic regime in Iran is dangerous because they are a islamofascists, illegitimate, terrorist tyranny, which is openly declaring that they want the USA and Israel dead. They support terrorists who are killing our soldiers, killing Israeli civilians and are hellbent on building nuclear weapons. Furthermore they are woman-stoning, torturing sadists who subjugated the once great nation of Iran. Ya say this all is "neocon" propaganda? Well ask the Iranians themselves. No one better can testify to the terrorist, criminal, corrupt, murderous and rotten nature of this regime.

McCain is ready to face the challenge, which is a run against the clock. Obama wants to submit. That's the difference. Satisfied?

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad such a dangerous man? ............... Just listen to his speeches and draw your own conclusions if you haven’t already.

Three questions:

1.) How long did you attend public schools?

2.) Did you graduate?

3.) Do you know what ZOT means?

I'll give you my opinion, to which you may or may not agree with. How's that?
Well, newbie libretto1971, a country that has nuclear weapons, which it appears Iran is reaching the ability to produce, along with a nihilist outlook amongst its leadreship might very well be considered a dangerous country.
Don't you agree?

...and what makes Mahmoud Ahmadinejad such a dangerous man?
Well, newbie libretto1971, any man who believes that he's the one who is supposed to usher in the 12th Imam and the Islamic version of Armageddon might be considered a little too mentally unstable to be in control of the nuclear weapons I mentioned above.
Don't you agree?

I am an American citizen and I am here because I feel I have an opinion and I have the freedom, as an American citizen, to express my opinions and engage in stimulating blogging. So let me return your question... who are YOU and why are YOU here and can you answer my original question? Thank you for your response.

Where did I say that what you’re saying is neo-con propaganda? Are you a neo-con? When you say that Iran is building Nuclear weapons, where did you hear this? I thought the Bush administration had concluded that Iran stopped their Nuclear weapons program back in 2003?

Well, I was thinking maybe someone of your foreign policy expertise could shed some light on these conclusions or at least tell me what he has said.

1. 12 years

2. Yes. With honors I may add.

3. Zot is a comic book created by Scott McCloud circa 1984 about a teenage hero not unlike Superman or Captain Marvel.

Iran said they had stopped. The Bush administration didn't say that.

In the last week or so, one of the Iranian scientists said that the 5.0 earthquake in Iran was a nuclear test.

Maybe it was or maybe it wasn't. What do you think?

Two questions, why is Iran being considered a dangerous country here in America and what makes Mahmoud Ahmadinejad such a dangerous man?

The answer to your two questions are linked. Iran is considered dangerous primarily because of its leadership.

Iran is perceived as dangerous because of its pursuit of nuclear and ballistic missile technologies. The west has to ask itself, why does Iran feel it needs these technologies? Note, it is not a concern that a Muslim-led country has missile and nuclear technology - Pakistan is considered an ally. It is because of what Iran does and says.

The west looks at Iran and sees a government that actively supports insurgents and terrorists in neighboring countries. It sees a religion-based leadership (Shiite) in conflict with the the Sunni Muslim world. A leadership that openly threatens other Muslims as well as the west. When the west looks at Ahmadinejad it sees a leader that makes intemperate statements such as vowing to wipe other countries (Israel) off the map.

Taken together, Iran is seen as arguably the least stable and biggest threat in the Middle East, and also one of the main focal points of concern world-wide.

You have the right to express an opinion, but not necessarily on FR. That is up to the owners. This is a conservative site, for information and discussions by and for conservatives. We are currently beset by hundreds, if not thousands, of Obama thug disrupters, newly registered, who are here to sow fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) among conservatives.

The questions you asked were the kind of thing that such a disrupter would ask. Your answers to my questions did nothing to dispel that impression.

Hopefully, since you are an american, as you say, you will be voting for McCain/Palin instead of the post-American marxist running against them. If you want to contribute to the discussion here, I suggest that you read some of the articles and then make your comments. We don't generally like to spend our time responding to inane questions posed in vanity posts.

Hope you understand. So, who are you and why are you here?
