Wartank,
The people have nothing to do with the regime? Sure, I guess those weren't "Iranian citizens" I saw burning US flags, taking US hostages in the years following the Iranian Revolution.
Look, I am WELL aware of the political developments in Iran and how the younger generation is more Pro-Western than the older generation. I have followed the demonstrations, eve including Khomeini's grandson, for the past few years. So do NOT accuse me of being ill informed. I just believe that a significant portion of the Iranian population is still strongly anti-american, and until such time that the Islamic extremists are driven from power, I will be wholly justified in that belief.
You say Jordan is a better ally than MOST Europeans??? What side did Jordan take in the first Gulf War? Saudi Arabia? Why did they side with the UN/US in the first Gulf War? Geez, maybe because Sadaam invaded their nearest neighbor (Kuwait) and had his eyes on Saudi Arabia next. Now the ungrateful vermin will NOT side with the US in the current war to be with Iraq.
It's not Muslim vs non-Muslim??? Yeah, I guess I was hallucinating when I saw pictures of Middle Eastern citizens cheering when the news broke of the 9/11 bombings.
