[iranovich2]

[SAPauditor]

Joe Biden's FaceBook page has not been updated since Aug 25, 2008...it calls him Senator Biden who is RUNNING for Vice President! What makes you think he is going to check his FaceBook Videos we upload there???

[Ice9yo]

man i was going to, but you have to become a supporter and theres no chance of that

[babakpardes]

Cool Brother.

[rdjalayer]

Nice, promote US intervention cause you clearly dont know what the US did to Iran in the early 50's.

[Batulao83]

The military in Iran can be the only one to change the regime, we can not engage because the issues are sensitive, let the Iranians solve their problems themselves, they have their own way of solving things as was written in their history as Persia. It will reach a point that all of the Iranians would participate in the protest and the military will effect the change.

[siasina]

Engagement is the best US Policy because regardless of who is in charge, the Nuclear program will continue, and US would have to deal with regardless.

To say lets isolate this regime and bring sanctions is just counterproductive. We have been doing that for the past 30 years. This will only provoke the Iranian Regime.

For the US to engage is to disarm the hardliners and take powers away from them. They have been using the US hawkish policies to keep in power and sell their propaganda.

[geofftrapp]

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!! This regime survives by feeding propaganda of hatred and anger to the country's conservatives and security establishment. It HAS to have opposition from the West to keep the stories behind that propaganda going!

If the West keeps reaching out its hand in love, and does not threaten the regime, the regime is starved the "fuel" it needs to legitimize its propaganda in the eyes of its supporters.

Without that propaganda, the security apparatus crumbles, and the people win!

IRAN  BEJANG

IRAN DROD

[otavallai]

I thought this video project was to protest Biden's idiotic, irresponsible comments, not to promote US interventionism.

Highly disappointing.

Also, putting up a mask completely voids your videos of any legitimacy. Speak out and be bold, as misguided as you ay be.

[keydawg13]

Do you think Joe will get the picture with these videos... Does he even check his facebook?? What's your estimate on the number of people doing this? I'll be sure to make one!!!

[MichellesCats]

If you want your protest to make a difference, post the videos to a United Nations website. United Nations, 48 altogether, are the ones who have the power to arrest Iran regime for violating human rights which Iran signed to in 1948. USA alone, certainly not VP Biden, cannot do it. It takes all of UN to do it. Send your protests to your UN ambassadors. They need to see it.

[MichellesCats]

Watch other news and you will learn, Saudi Arabia and other countries near Iran who do have the airspace, have not granted Israel permission to strike. USA can't tell Israel yes or no because we have no airspace there. We are on the other side of the globe. The countries near Iran have to give the permission.

[MichellesCats]

OMG No no no no no. You guys, Iran state media is lying to you. First, Biden is only the vice-president of USA and he has no authority whatsoever to make decisions like this. What's more is that his statement was not about giving green lights to any country to bomb any other. That was misinterpreted. Biden said the middle-east is not USA airspace and so USA would not be able to intervene on someone else's military strike.

[nugewqtd]

Do not forget that you are not limited to just this form of protest. All of us can write our representatives and ask that they share our disgust with the turmoil occurring in Iran.

[mkned]

It might be a good idea but not to BIden but Obama. Why?

1. Biden has given a green light to Israel to attack Iran!!!???

2. We (Iranians) do not need any help (money or guns) from USA or Europe

The only thing that Iranians NEEDED was/is (maybe it is not too late) confidence. We have seen it from American and European people more than their goverments.

They MUST take a stronger position against Iranian goverment NOW!

[siasina]

This is a TERRIBLE Idea. The US has been Isolating Iran for 30 years now and It has not worked. If the US continues the old policy, it will only play into the hands of the Hardliners, who will try to unite the people and fight the "evil america".

Furthermore, this will only enhance Israel's motives to preemptively strike Iran which will unite Iranians and kill the internal opposition in Iran.

Engagement is the best option for the US regardless of the Internal conflict in Iran

Terrible Idea!

[seriago]

I Agree with you 'siasina'  and as much as we care and deeply want to help out Iranians, getting the US to intervene would only backfire on them. It will give more of the 'green light' Iran's gov is hopping for.

[KidCucombre222]

we want the US to isolate the regime diplomatically, nobody is talking about bombing IRAN!! We dont want the U.S. to legitimize this oligarchy, that survives on censorship!!

[seriago]

KidCucombre222, No where did I say or suggest this idea was about bombing Iran. I understand what you are saying, I just don't think will change or improve anything...

Iran's oligarchy as you put it will only use it more against its own people and the rest of the world (the west mostly)

[siasina]

You just don't get it. Trust me, I'm a political Science major with focus in the Middle East and lived in Iran for 11 years. The US has been isolating Iran for the past 30 years, and this Isolation has only played in the hands of the hardliners to grab power and move Iran into more isolationism from the world.

The same policy will not work! If you Isolate Iran, you will see more aggressive hardline policies in Iran which will provoke Israel to attack Iran.

Engagement is the best US Policy.

[shamsebi]

This time is different. The world has seen the true picture of the regime. Now we have a leader that can unite us. This time we can accomplish reform, and that's all we want. We are not looking for a revolution. We had one and that is enough.

[4crissie4]

think its a good idea..but wont joe just close his facebook page and open another one?

[SAPauditor]

will do!

[xkourosHx]

Good idea.

[KidCucombre222]

Lets Protest!

[Whereismyvote22]

also tell Biden to stop Israel's attack on Iran, if Israel attacks Iran, all people will be united and the green movement will be shut down

[dontbestupidnow]

Great idea. I hope the US people posting point out their appeal is to the humanitarian issues at hand. This should not be political, & should not be about the neocons wanting control of Iran just to spread it's own form of tainted (purchased) "democracy." It should be about what Iran wants for Iran & what should be basic universal & human rights!

[GhostoftheMotif]

Great idea... I've made and uploaded my video and will have it ready to post on the date =] Thank you so much for organizing this.

[fudgepie23]

great idea.. but for the people that think the UN can help..haha..you know how many people have sent them so many requests for a long time and they havent done anything about it..but the european countries might be good allies..theyve helped alot more than the UN..because they have had dictators before and they know how the people feel..its not the government there that is worried its the people and i would suggest sending this vid to the european government

[afroukhteh]

love the idea!

[Thefrogntheprincess]

Joe Biden will listen the more people send. To my fellow Americans, our cause for freedom is not so much different than the brave people of Iran. If we mean what we say about loving all please join in this message to our Vice President, he must know it is the will of our people to that the people of Iran have a free voice. This is a time for all of us to put down our past hatreds and mistrusts and find that freedom loving people are no so different anywhere in the world.

[PersianTruth1]

You are a hypocrite! America is not your friend! America is after our oil! Isolate this regime? America has been trying to isolate it for 30 years now! It's failed! Iran is a regional power now. I dont like Ahmadinejad, but I also dont like you kids who are siding with America who has evil intentions towards Iran!

[rvhelm]

Are we not talking about the people? Why confuse government greed with the heart and compassion of the people of the world who wish to show the people of Iran who are struggling against an oppressive regime at such a time as this, regardless of what land they happen to live in or what government presently governs that land?

[tosan1]

Actually, PersianTruth's comment made me think: what's the use of this??

The US has been doing this for 30 years! We are not asking them anything new really!

If we were asking UN or Lahe court one thing, but an American Senate? doesn't seem useful to me. please educate me on that: what's the use of this?

thanks.

[nima81]

first off Joe Biden isent just a senator, he is the vice president of the United States, he was a long-time member and former chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. His strong advocacy helped bring about U.S. military assistance and intervention during the Bosnian War. Biden also served as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Biden can do a lot in terms of isolating this regime, we just need to reach out and show Biden how much opposition there is to the regime in Iran

[flonsd1]

If the government in Iran hadnt already stolen the oil from under the nose of their population you might have a point....

[ddejam]

This isn't a video, this is a MOVEMENT of the people.. please help, if you care about the people of Iran, or any people undergoing severe torture and oppression,this is the LEAST you can do.. this is a moment of truth, DONT LET ME LOSE FAITH IN HUMANITY. show me we are more than just a culture of ignorant people overcomsumed in our shallow bubbles AND HELP, dont let another relative of mine die in the hands of this regime, I have see too much and the world has barely gotten a glimps...

[ReginaPellegrino]

DDEJAM - You are CORRECT!! The Iranian PEOPLE (the govt / regime is not the people!) need to know that we are supportive, listening, watching, and TRYING TO HELP!! I've been to Iran and the PEOPLE love AMERICANS and they are the most peaceful, kind, generous, considerate and loving people I have ever met in the world. PLEASE TRY TO HELP by posting the video.

[KidCucombre222]

this is a good idea. Im making a video i need a little more information though. And to all those negative people like BabakUnity.... ya right unity...

keep yyour comments to yourself, even if joe biden doesn't react it is definitely worth doing it. The more people post the more effective it will be. How serious can you be about changing the regime if you are not even willing to post a 2 minute video. The people in Iran get motivated by the support outside of iran, anything that can help is good

[muzikaddict61]

I think this is a great idea... can you clarify how Joe Biden (USA) can assist?? Can you make a video tell us how or why you came to the conclusion for Joe Biden? Thank you! Thanks for organizing and initiating with the first video. ALL my friends are in agreement with you and making comments on my FB on how to find you and join you guys.

[PersianTruth1]

Isolate regime? Biden needs to be isolated. He is a war monger which gave Israel green light to attack Iran. Biden is the enemy of Iran and its people. We will always defed Iran against American imperialists like Biden! You are a sellout who is looking for hope from American war mongers

[elbra1]

yo im late :(

[BabakUnity]

And You Guys Think That Joe Biden Is Going To Listen To 1000 Iranians ? U Dont Think He Got Something Else To Do ?

[rmosti2]

Excellent idea. I just passed it on to the National Iranian American Council (NAIC) and my facebook family and friends. I'll stay in touch.
