"The mullahs have kidnapped Iran"
Allright. Here's a comment from Iranian-American that we'd like to make a separate post. Very sincere y'know.
As an Iranian-American who was old enough to remember the 1980s in Iran as a kid, I think an Iran with nuclear weapons is a scary one, it's like giving a loaded gun to a kid. Iran has much more urgent issues to deal with than nuclear weapons, just look at unemployment rate, inflation, corruption and brain drain just to name a few. Also, the Iranian government is very scary, they want you to think that it's a democracy but it's really not, they do not represent but 5% percent of the population and their supporters on TV that most westerners see are victims of a propaganda war. Most of those folks are government employees whose jobs and livelihood depends on their attendance to these propaganda rallies. It's really a shame that these religeous, hard headed, stubborn right wingers have kidnapped Iran and have given us all a bad reputation around the world. Just read some of the posts on this website, there is so much hatred of Iranians that it really hurts. Actually calling for a country with 70 million people to be attacked by nuclear bombs is unbelievable to me! I never realized people can have so much hatred for others they have never met before considering that most Iranians are very educated, secular, peaceful and loving people that don't really care about the Middle Eastern politics and do not in any way identify with the Iranian government. THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT IS NOT DEMOCRATIC AND DOES NOT REPRESENT THE PEOPLE. It's like hating all Cubans because of what Castro says. 95% of all Iranians hate their government, they're just too afraid to speak up as they kill you if you say anything against the government. Bottom line is that people are just people everywhere, some good, some bad, you should not hate anyone you don't know. I hope for a day that we can all love and respect one another and live in harmony. There are no winners in a nuclear conflict, it's very self-destructing to human kind which is the point lost in most of these discussions.
