I bet Bibi is doing something...and a lot more than just talking.
Lust for freedom and justice is eternal.
These chants may be coming to a neighborhood near us some day in English.
0 will do nothing to help these people since they oppose their local dictator.
I thought it was Farsi not Parsi???
seems to me that WE ought to be taking heed, since the “election” of obama is roughly the equivalent of the wrongheadedness of the iranian people having made the takeover of iran by the ayatollah khomeini et seq possible (with the help of yimmy carter) only 30 years ago........remember, it was SAVAK that kept their own soros, ayers, farrakhans, etc suppressed and from taking control in iran.....now look what has happened!
I’m MUCH more worried about what is happening right here in OUR OWN country than I am about the iranians having to pay their own piper....
I stand behind the people of Iran and their freedom.
Hleping liberty in Iran helps our own critical situation because liberty in Iran exposes wholly the corrupt, bankrupt nature of the Obama foreign policy for all to see...and nothing could expose those policies more completely.
Then why bother? Why did you even sign up last week?
Myself included.
Hleping liberty in Iran helps our own critical situation
Please! It distracts from the gravity of our own situation as much as any of the crises “not going to waste”....invluding the thrillah matter......I see no Constitutional mandate for spreading democracy......yet I see endless actions/legislation that is blatantly unconstitutional on a daily basis.
“And Pelousy and Bawney Fwank get tossed in the hard-core lezzie wing with the tattooed, man-boobed she-dykes! “
Very literary. Throw in: shoot when you see the whites of her thighs and I’m with you.
It wasn't last week, simpleton. Learn how to work a calendar.
And the answer is, because I intend to stop it regardless of anyone else's success or failure or lack of trying.
There is certainly a constitutional mandate for defending this nation from foreign enemies and Iran is certainly that.
As citizens and as a nation, helping the Iranian people overthrow those enemies saves us our own blood, expense and trouble and as I said, reveals the Obama administration and its policies for the sham, disgrace, and wholly anti-Americans antics they are...and thus helps us all the more right here.
I am willing to work both...both here and abroad as the situation and my conscience dictates...as is each of our right. We each have to pick the battles we fight...and I choose this (among several others that are critical like Cap and Trade, Health Care Reform, Immigration, 2nd Amendment, etc.) to be one of mine.
Last month. What ever. You bad to the bone, I just feel it. Good luck.
“We disagree on Iran.”
OK, if you say so.....but just to keep it ON my POINT, I will repeat it:
“seems to me that WE ought to be taking heed, since the “election” of obama is roughly the equivalent of the wrongheadedness of the iranian people having made the takeover of iran by the ayatollah khomeini et seq possible (with the help of yimmy carter) only 30 years ago........remember, it was SAVAK that kept their own soros, ayers, farrakhans, etc suppressed and from taking control in iran.....now look what has happened!
I’m MUCH more worried about what is happening right here in OUR OWN country than I am about the iranians having to pay their own piper....”
beyond this, I couldn’t care less about what you think might be a good idea.....
You got that right.
Thanks. I don't need it.
So it appears the common folks are not giving up just yet. Perhaps this will continue regardless of how badly it will go against un-armed protesters.
I am told by P/Farsiphones that in Arabic it's "Farsi" (because Arabic doesn't have the 'p' sound) but in P/Farsi it's "Parsi."
Interestingly, according to the Iran Chamber Society the letter for 'p' doesn't exist in Arabic. The common letter for 'f' is quite different.
