The government of Iran is not the people of Iran.

The government needs to go.

The Iranians I have met have all been wonderful, friendly people who grieve over what has happened to their country.

I personally think one of the greatest crimes of ineptitude and stupidity was the Carter administration’s handling of the Shah...what they did opened the door for millions of people to live under the thumb of Islamofascism...

I know many Iranians, studied with them in the Navy back in the Seventies and was in college with many in the Eighties.

Iran should have been an ally to us, not an enemy.

The only question that matters is who will control the Iranian government and the nuclear weapons it will possess 12 months from now.

I too have Persian friends, and as much as I love and respect them, (A diplomat at the Iranian embassy in Paris GAVE us 4 great location, impossible-to-get tickets to the World Cup a few years ago simply because was asked politely if he knew where we could get tickets! Scalpers would have gotten $5,000 apiece for these seats.) they must do something to remove the psychotics that run their government.

Even the late Ayatollah Khomeini was afraid of this Ahmadinejad when he was with the Revolutionary Guards.

Dittos here. The Iranian regime is cracking down on "unislamic" behavior because so many -- especially the younger people -- are sick of the imams. Iranians are also converting to Christianity in hordes.

One of the many failures of the Bush Administration was the failure to support the student uprisings in Iran which occurred after the invasion of Iraq.

But Bush like his father is a flawed personality. Bush senior had business continue as usual with the butchers of Tienanmen Square after they nurdered their own people resulting in the situation we are not in, where American purchasers are forced to subsidize a Red Chinese military machine aimed at America’s throat to benefit a few globalist internationalists.
