Anatomy of a Revolution - 01 Feb 09 - Part 1

[zobielamouche1]

it is as sadegh hedayat wrote, the two major causes of Iran's decimation were and are the monarchy and the clergy

[OneUmmahFisebilillah]

God bless you, Iran! Long live the Islamic revolution!

[ironhands007]

Who the fuck was the Mosasadegh? It was all planned by Shah. You are an Idiots. Still you don't get it. Don't you? Shah set up the UK, and he used Massadegh. If he was doing it himself, then Iran didn't have any leader and Dang. We were finished. Then he start building up, but in 1975 USA and UK they saw that if they don't remove him from the power, they are finished for good. Thats why USA transfare above $8 billion into Khomani Bank account in Paris and helped to romove shah. Now smart up.

well isnt west always says , democracy ? here you go . %98 of the people voted to this rejim . so what they want ? this is democracy . government OF the the people FOR the people and BY the people . and this the the defimition of wests democracy .

[icefisherman5000]

Fuck Islam and Islamic Revolution,,,,,,

[icefisherman5000]

Iranian regret today by making such stupid mistake,,,,,

[germanicus24]

Al Jazeera, as the arm of Arab tyrants' propaganda it is, desperately tries to further demonize and distort the Islamic Revolution.

Al Jazeera's tyrants owners fear that the Arab peoples would also wake up and rise against them.

[andur63]

Islamic Countries have all some kind of "Feudalism" as a form of government. The law of Allah and his representatives on earth are seen as the highest authorities...the secular leaders have to obey...this is the kind of islamic morality as i understand it.

[momo5288]

@andur63 Islamic government's are anything but Islamic. 

[pkabooo69]

You are all idiots. This has nothing to do with religion. This has to do with stupid people using religion to hide behind and as a excuse for atrocities. Religion as a form of government is absolutely ridiculous. The entire premise of any religion is that you can't have any scientific fact or evidence (and ALL religious books have been PROVEN to have historical inaccuracies). AKA to believe in them is to be a fool. God is good, but religion is BAD. That's the real Satan. Wake up world.

[M0oM0o1]

@pkabooo69 i like you

[LUIBROWN17]

I am a Christian and i have alot friends that are muslim friends, i know is nothing to do with religion, usa has a interest in there land, if everybody was to say to the usa come and take everything they will be happy with you, but if you stand up for your rights and die defending your right you are a terrorist, muslim are one of the nicest people i ever met, there is nice people all around the world but, since usa is in charge of the media news and radio, even internetthey say whattheyplease.

[zulfiqar501]

@LUIBROWN17 i totaly agree with u im an american muslim i am ashamed at times the gree our nation has and the extremes they are willing to use to get hwat they want then have the nerve to call people terrorist we should stop and look at our own history before we judge others we have done plenty of wrong ourselves

[zulfiqar501]

@LUIBROWN17 i totaly agree with u im an american muslim i am ashamed at times the greed our nation has and the extremes they are willing to use to get what they want then have the nerve to call people terrorist we should stop and look at our own history before we judge others we have done plenty of wrong ourselves

[hoiiooiiooiiooiiooii]

@LUIBROWN17 Exactly, I'm a born as a Christian Iranian and lots of my friends are muslims, they're one of the nicest people I've met. It's a pity that they have such a bad reputation.

[Lillymill]

"His government was overthrown and replaced by a new Islamic order. The Islamic revolution put Iran on a new path - one that brought it to war with its neighbour and ongoing conflict with the West. "

Ooh... And what neighbor would this be? :blink: :blink: B-)

[yourbrotherAli1]

the evil regime that was overthrown in 1979 was put in power in 1953 by the USA, at which time the USA murdered Iran's democratically-elected president Moussadeq. now the Iranians don't trust the usa, and for very good reasons. Notice how no one mentions the REAL cause of the usa/iran conflict. that's evil, bro. muslim nations r labelled as evil, but what the christian usa murdering iran's president? I'm just sayin'

[LUIBROWN17]

USA is not christian they are satanic, nicaragua is christian country and is allied with iran. is not about being christian or muslim is about fucking usa wanting to be impire, the same way israel is trying to do to palestine and orther arab countries, and usa say they trust in GOD thats not true, they are number 1 killer in the world, i seen war we faced usa before like 11 times and we never let them last we fought with everything.

[Kiladelphia33]

they didnt murder mossadeq they just made the shah fire him

[shir1999]

Mossadegh was arrested, tried & put under house arrest until he died in 1967.

[JimmieHeaven]

XOXO

[bigbrother1994]

hey ass711.. go hav a look at "Shahanshah Aryamehr (Speech) 1973" then u will see that the man was rtying to do things in iran, but at that time he had to play ball with the powers,and he did hav grand plans for iran, but wen usa and uk realised that , they got rid of him.they thought that khomenie was a soft idiot, to put in power in iran, but they didnt realised that he was a fukin gready evil mullah.go get your facts rite.and now go fuk your mama..bcos evry1 else has

[bigbrother1994]

just 1 thing if u dont know already..while in paris fuk wit khomieni recieved $150MILLION in funds, to aid his campaign  in iran.. frm whom??? yes USA.. go hav a think now.....

[texas224]

Obama claims there is no CIA involement in Iran, do you believe him?

[edumad]

Iran could have been a very progressive force in the region.

The country was very developed in the 70s and could keep that level were it not for the super powers playing it like a pawn. They have done this time and time again. Now look, Iran becomes a problem, like Iraq, like Afganistan, like so many of the super powers experiments.

[existentialvoid]

We screrwed up. . .and now we arer paying the price. Putting the Shaw into power was a mistake and what took his place was exactly what we did not want.

Of course the Iranians think this an expression of their own will. . .when infact this is a legacy of our failer to influence.

[Darsph]

The boock is on the table.

[persianjahangir]

down with islam

[iranovich2]

Down whit islam and its terrorist occupier regime in Iran

[hafezeiran]

Islamic Republic now ranks number one in heroin addiction in the world, number two in executions of children after china and let's not forget the difference in population. 3 million killed in an unnecessary 8 year war with Iraq and 6 million in exile. Public hanging and stoning and tortures of political prisoners. The is another fascist regime keeping 70 million hostage

[ass711]

Islamic Republic

Yes it is he the legitimate government of iran and representative of the iranian peoples

[ass711]

...

now ranks number one in heroin addiction in the world,

The drugs in next door afghanitan ends up in iran because they are close, its like saying that america is responsible for drugs like cocaine n marijuana even though its produced and comes from next door mexico and southern american countries like bolivia

[ass711]

The is another fascist regime keeping 70 million hostage

Or rather another government that is the legitimate representative of the iranian peoples

[hafezeiran]

Nop not against IRAN, against blood thirsty mullahs.... DON"T FUCKING MIX UP THE TWO. Torture against anyone is against human rights and FUCK YOUR ISLAM that has no value for LIFE... SHITHEAD

[ass711]

well the "blood thirsty "mullahs as you put it ARE PART OF THE IRANIAN PEOLES, youre confused boy, i'm not mixing them up, because they're one in same. islam doesn't need any value for life it the life is wrong (secularist, communist, gay, anti-islam etc.), therefore torturing people with those kinds of life is legitimate and legal.

SHITHEAD!

[hafezeiran]

You don't even know what secularism means. Go look it up before you make comments. Your leader khamenei will be taken to international courts on trial for genocite of the Iranian people. Just like Hitler's followers even 50 years later and will be hanged just like Sadaam. Start counting the days you bacheh Basiji Akhoond zadeh

[hafezeiran]

I read some of your stupid idiotic comments. CONCLUSION. You are a fascist islamic terrorist with your Mullahs killing, torturing, stoning and hanging IRANIANS and there is no legitimacy in that... Most are POLITICAL prisoners as you know ASSHOLE and not people who have commited sins like rape and shit... Get your head out of your ASS

[ass711]

actually most who were political were executed during the massacres in 1988-1990, and with good reason too - they were against islam, the prophet muhammad (pbuh) and allah. so today most are prisoners for committing sins like rape and adultery ASSHOLE. get your head outta your ASS

[ass711]

CONCLUSION. You are a fascist islamic terrorist with your Mullahs killing, torturing, stoning and hanging IRANIANS and there is no legitimacy in that...

so what? the shah kept torturing and killing iranians after mossadegh between 1953-1978 and you're quiet about that? what are you a terrorist? u don't call the shah a terrorist? he terrorized people through dictatorship,

...

[ass711]

...

u know what facism is, or do you folow when neo cons say "islamo-facism", facism is whenthe government works with the corporations to bring down the people...one of the reasons the revolution happened was to end the corporations from america...america is the facist and so was the shah working with the american corporations and oil companies.

...

[ass711]

...

mullahs are the last people to be working with corporations, because they are simple minded people caring for the people. as opposed to the republican parties that work for corporations and do not care for the peoples.

[hafezeiran]

After two weeks of seeing the innocent people dying in Iran you still make comments such as this..First of all you have no knowledge about Islam and your prophet. You think it's okay to kill in the name of Allah anyone who does not believe in your beliefs.  For ur info. Rafsanjani is the 37th richest man in the world. Talk about simple minded. Mullah Second of all Khamenei is ordering killings for people who want democracy and freedom. On the other hand you are a basiji or bacheh akhoonde kasif

[ass711]

well those iranian people protesting are certainly not calling for regime change, rather they have been portrayed that way by the exiled terrorist anti-iranian groups and peoples (mostly reza pahlavi and MEK shown in media). i may not have all the knowledge, or the knowledge equivalent of a scholar, about islam and the prophet, but i certainly know more about those subjects than you (most of your knowledge is lies and bullshit anyways stop getting info from anti-islamic propaganda sources).

[ass711]

if its okay to kill anyone "in the name of allah" anyone who does not believe in islam, (i assume it since u said "my beliefs"), then i assume that iranian government would follow that law since they follow sharia (islamic law) and according to you that is a rule in islam. well then, explain to me why there are christian communities and jewish communities in iran?

...

[ass711]

...

why are those communities (which don't share the Islamic beliefs of the government) allowed a representative in the iranian parliament, and given special priveledges (like permission to posess alcohol, veil not nessecary for women in certain areas). your portrayal of islam is extreme as if portraying islam equal to nazism, no sane muslim believes in killing all non-believers

...

[ass711]

...

not even the taliban follows your depiction of islam. if it were true, not even the sikh or christian communities of afghanistan (who don't share beliefs of taliban's version of islam) would have survived, but they did - you know why? because muslims are not as insane as you put them to be, not even the radical ones like the taliban, although i do admit that they opressed the non-muslims severely, they did not kill all of them as you claim otherwise they wouldn't have existed.

...

[ass711]

...

in islam you can kill the non-believer only if:

1. you are in a state of war

2. the enemy is armed and killing innocents

so no you cannot kill innocents, even if they do not share your beliefs

[ass711]

well rafsanjani may be the richest man in iran but he is the only voice of hope and pragmatism, because he is the only man in the second-highest position who is siding with mousavi. and as for the people who want "democracy and freedom", well out of the people who are protesting, only about 25% want the type of democracy you claim (secular i.e. "freedom") - i suppose that would be about half of tehran.

...

[ass711]

...

the other 75% wants their votes to be counted and wants moussavi and moderates in power who promised an islamic democracy (not ur version).

i do admit that khamenei's decision to clamp down on peaceful protestors is wrong, he seems to have made a mistake by going radical and against the people's choice for moussavi (he was more pragmatic in the previous years)

[hafezeiran]

U f--ing lier.... shah left so that people would not get killed. Your velayate Vaghih will not leave until they get their bloody hands on every single peace and freedom loving Iranian in Iran... You are blinded by a sick ideology like your leaders. Starting from mohammed and khomeini and khamenei and all it's followers... Marg bar zalemaane setamgare eslami. I bet you don't even speak Parsi. Are u a Palestinian making$200 a day to kill iranians in the street of Iran?

[ass711]

u f-ing lier -- if shah left "so that people would not get killed", why did he take millions of dollar with him when he left?

(taken from iran and the iranian peoples)

conclusion: he is a selfish thief and dictator/terrorist who cared for no-one but himself and other pahlavis. blinded by a sick ideology? islam is NOT an ideology, it is a WAY OF LIFE, a religion that guides mankind, rather your secularism and liberalism is a sick ideology.

[ass711]

now ranks number one in heroin addiction in the world,

Only because its next door neighbor Afghanistan produces massive amount of drugs like herion and opium (92% of world) this is due to american invasion removing stable regime of taliban and replacing it with warlords with drug-smuggling connections.

...

[ass711]

number two in executions of children after china

Because the children have committed violations and sins and broken iranian islamic law therefore have to be punished with executions, its like saying that americans are unjustly arrested and jailed for posessing and using marijuana and cocaine (even though american law says that drugs are illegal), or like saying that father had been unjustly arrested for having sex with his daughter (even though american law is against incest).

[ass711]

...

and let's not forget the difference in population. 3 million killed in an unnecessary 8 year war with Iraq and 6 million in exile

Many iranians only leave iran for better economic opportunities like better jobs or better standard of living not because of islamic law or government. The american facist regime should be thanked for putting sanctions and forcing people to leave iran by making standard of life and earnings/inflation worse.

[hafezeiran]

OH shut the FUP... Your prophet became a prophet by the SWORD, he married a 7 year old and raped her at the age of 9 when he was 54 years old... who the fuck are you defending. FUCK YOUR ISLAMIC LAW and once again take your head out of your ASS with your fucked up IDEOLOGY threatening the WORLD.

[ass711]

NO you shut the F-UP, our prophet became a prophet by the quran, he only used the sword to kill and execute anyone who was against islam and fighting islam, this is similar to how ayatollah khomeini created islamic republic of IRAN, he used the quran (NOT the SWORD) with the power of the people to execute those against islam and fighting islam...

[ass711]

...prophet muhammad didn't marry a 7 year old he married her at an age even older (perhaps 16 or even older), that is the prophet i am defending, who the fuck you defending? the same corrupt shah who kissed america's ass and adpoted their culture at the expense of iranians? khomeini didn't even do that, he had true iranian culture because iranian culture had islam in it and he was very committed to islam. FUCK YOUR SECULAR LAW, long live islam and long live sharia! get your head out of your ass!

[hafezeiran]

Death to Khamenei and all of the supporters of Islamic Republic, you Moron. There is not other word for you. And yes, 70 million people are saying it too... Now, fuck your Khamenei killer of Iranian people.... Marg bar jomhorie eslami. Soon Iran will be Iran again and you Muslim Arabs will be back to eating reptiles again... soosmar khore kasif

[ass711]

no death to the the MEK leaders (rajavis), the MEK group, and your royal family of the previous regime (especially the shah's son reza pahlavi). no 70 million are not saying it too, that is exxagerrated and portrayed by you and your exiled opposition groups and leaders (terrorists), most are muslims and since regime is islamic they are not against regime for fear of being against islam.

...

[ass711]

...

fuck your pahlavi killer of iranian peoples. MARG BARG RASTAKHIZ, MEK, PAHLAVI. iran will be the same iran it has always been for hte last 1400 years, 99% muslim MAJORITY. yes you secularists and anti-islamists want to go eat reptiles with the jews and arabs? yeah go to their deserts and eat them you barbarians!!

soosmar khore kasif

[ass711]

and let's not forget the difference in population. 3 million killed in an unnecessary 8 year war with Iraq and 6 million in exile

Actually its 1 million dead in iran-iraq war and it was because saddam used chamical weapons against iranians the same chemical weapons supplied by the americans and western/arab governments.

Its not 6 milion in exile, but 3 million, most of them are seculartist or shah-lovers/from shah regime.

...

[bublooraf]

Islam is a simple religion. All praise goes to Allah subhanawatallah and my dua'as are given out to the prophets. Regardless of what has become of today's society it is always important to understand that Allah is going to judge everyone individually.

[Polite430]

For aljazeera, this program was adequate, I suppose, although Anatomy of a Revolution is much too ambitious a title. There was too little detail and too much focus on the interviews with the anti-Islamic personalities.

[AndrewMann552]

Long live Mossadegh!

The masses will bring real people's power one day to Iran!

[ass711]

"The masses will bring real people's power one day to Iran!"

the masses did bring real people's power and that is the government run by islam known as the "islamic republic"

[morchid34]

im moroccan and i very like IRAN , i have some many iranian friends in france they dislike both the shah and the khomeini , for me the mollahs do a lot of shit in the name of islam . i hope that iran will be better in the future

[inferno0020]

good luck

[jankren]

Shia is no more Islam than Sunni. Both sects follow the same Scripture. Its just that they have different hadiths. So if you so Shia isnt Islam than Sunni isnt Islam either. The only Islam is the one that follows Al Quran only.

[Tampinu]

That is Haile Selassie I, King of Kings @ 7:40

[alovelytime]

Lord of Lords, The Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, in direct line of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, according to the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and perhaps the Coptic Orthodox Church as well.

[teemuruskeepaa]

00.58 people didn't want Khomeini as their leader. They were emotionally exited and wanted to belong to the group and maybe end the dictatorship. But they were forced to obey the leader. That's how leaders are in capitalist, weather economic or symbolic. True leaders don't rule the people, they empower their weak.

[teemuruskeepaa]

That's 00:58. I can't watch this Anglo-Saxon biased discourse.

[teemuruskeepaa]

No, the Islam and the revolution didn't lead to conflict with the West. The West had a conflict with the Revolution in the form of international capitalist ownership of their own. This has continued ever since.

[TaskiyahEmaani]

rageh lost me when he said "it was replaced by an islamic movement", this has NOTHING to do with islam, its a shia revolution and not an islamic one.

its amazing how journalists are inteligent yet ignorant when it comes to details like that.

[mfa05]

Yes, you right man!

It nothing to do with ISLAM.

Its a SHIA revolt!

[naliuj]

personally as a outsider i don't see a difference, it would be like saying its a protestant revolution instead of a Christian one, could you elaborate a bit for me?

[ChristianLove2008]

shias are like the mormons of Islam, how would you like it if I called mormonism part of christiainity?

[naliuj]

Personally if the mormons call themselves Christians then what right do i have to call them liars? If they believe they follow Jesus and his teachings then sure they are Christians, unless i get Jesus' personal guarantee that they arent then they can call themselves whatever they want.

[naliuj]

so is the only reason that TaskiyahEmaani and

mfa05 claim its not Islamic is because of a difference in dogma and personal belief?

[ass711]

actually shias are like the catholics of islam (ex. shrines, saints, intercession, clerics),

and sunnis are like the protestants of islam (evangelical-style proselytysing, separation of church and state, personal faith in allah directly)

several scholars accept this as a fact (such as vali nasr who identified the civil war situation in iraq)

mormonism is a very obsure sect of christianity its not christainity itself, bahais can be referred to as mormons of islam since theyr as obscure

[Tampinu]

Lord of Lords, The Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, in direct line of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, according to the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and perhaps the Coptic Orthodox Church as well as the OBJECTIVE UNIVERSAL TRUTH AND REALITY, seen?

[bazilg]

take your medication immediately, you're delirious

[tirdadkia]

wow what protestants who attacked world tower centers and killed several people and what a nations who still live under monarchy and they do not have just one , only one democratic country and this evangelical-style proselytysing do not allowed their woman to have any human rights . which scholars do you taking about? George W Bush. ya he must be in your side ha ha ha

[ass711]

look i am saying that sunnis are like the protestants of islam based on their beliefs. shias say that you should follow clerics who properly interpret quran and hadiths to make laws and rulings for you so as not to become obscure extremists.

[ass711]

sunnis say that you are allowed to make your own interpretations of islamic laws and hadith and quran verses, this leads to trouble as it creates more schools of thoughts (as how protestants have many sects with different interpretations), and sometimes the interpretations of some sunnis can be extremist and influental to other sunnis although obscure.

[ass711]

an example would be al-qaeda with an extreme view. even though it has an extreme view the organization has many symphatizers and followers/supporters in pakistan and saudi arabia, extremist views of some muslims can lead to terrorism like 9/11 just as how terrorism from protestant can lead to bombing in abortiion clinics and catholic shrines.

[ChristianLove2008]

please dont associate SHiaism with Islam or even christianity, Shiaism is plane Paganism which was invented by Abdullah ibn Sabah a Jew from Yemen, and christianity is just roman pagan man worship, You are talking about hadiths and interpretations and al-queda but you are forgetting the main important thing, which is that shia believe in Intersession thats why they worship graves of Hussien and Hasan they also believe in Infalliable SHia Priests, which is all regected by Islam.

[tirdadkia]

ok if you are right please give me a name of just "a name " of shies terrorist ?? in contrast with that I can give you a list of Sunnis terrorist ORGANIZATIONS , I am not Muslim but I grew up in a Muslim country they do not worship any human body the just pray Allah but they accept some of their Imams ( religious leaders ) as their hero's exactly like saints in Christians do Christians worship their saints?

[ChristianLove2008]

shia terrorists < hizbullat, mahdi army, the assasins etc. you want more shia terrorist groups? also I can careless about "terrorist" groups we are talking purely of belief here and the shia belied contradicts Islam in totality, because they take saints, imams, hussien, ali , hassan, imam mahdi as idols in their worship which is mush like christianity and it is considered Paganism in Islam

[tirdadkia]

all of this groups you say are fighting in their OWN country against foreign have they ever attack in other countries like Al quade?

they do not worship any human kinds an do not compare this Imams with God anymore they just accept these people as their teacher does it have any problem? for example they believe that Hossein was killed because he wanted to live free an do not accepted dictatorship ? what is this idea problem?

[ass711]

hizbullat, mahdi army, the assasins etc.

all these so-called "terrorist" groups as you put it, also provide social welfare and financial benefit to the people. when america had no control of the shiite southern iraq, mahdi army employed workers to fix houses bombed and clean streets and kept order and provided financial aid, food medical etc.

hezbollah has done the same after the 2006 war, rebuilding buildings and providing food, medicine, aid etc.

[ass711]

all these so-called "terrorist groups" provide aid to the people as oposed to your dictatorship governments in the arab countries (the real terrorists) who terrorize people and supress islam

so the conclusion is "no", they are NOT terrorists as opposed to wahabbi terrorist groups like "al-qaeda" and sunni groups like "ansar-al sunna/islam"

and yes i want more terrorsit groups, show me more terrorist groups you claim to know

[ass711]

"please dont associate SHiaism with Islam or even christianity"

well it's too late because shiaism IS ISLAM, and there is nothing you can do about it, just like how women are beginning to drive in saudi arabia and its pissing you off but the world is changing and you can't reverse that.

[ass711]

if shiasim is paganism then you are saying islam is paganism (estegfirillah), since Shia islam is ISLAM, this automatically make you a KAFFIR. on the other hand, your religion Wahabbism is plane Paganism which was invented by Abdullah ibn wahab a Jew from NAJD. finally on the intercession issue, it is NOT regected in islam because it's IN THE QURAN, allah constantly says that intercession is only permitted by his will and permission.

[ChristianLove2008]

shiaism is kufr case closed invented by Abdullah ibn Sabah the jew from yemen, and all Shia are Kaffirs that shall be deported from Muslim lands. Shiaism and Islam are totally Opposite

[ass711]

"shiaism is kufr case closed invented by Abdullah ibn Sabah the jew from yemen,"

abdullah ibn sahab invented the ghulat sect, not shia islam

"Shiaism and Islam are totally Opposite"

that's contradictory, its an oxymoron, since SHIA IS INDEED ISLAM

[tirdadkia]

shies are the part of Islam who are believed that the Islam roles should be change and modernized for example in Islam governments should be cut a hand of thiefs ( Arabs countries still do so) but shies said it is for past and we have to adopt ourselves with new century i accept this critical that we are far away from our goals but in contrast with what western countries said shies are more care about human rights than Arabs word,an example Arabs women do not have ID card and no right to vote

[Every1DeservesIt]

So, the Shah made Iran a better place, and the clerics turned it back into a shithole.

[oceanbound222]

It was a better place for some, a select few. Revolutions can only happen when there is something deeply wrong with the current leadership.

The Shah came about because the US overthrew a democratically elected leader in Iran and put in a puppet (the Shah). Then revolution is already on the minds of the people. Sadly, the revolution did not bring what they wanted, but that does not mean the puppet should have been allowed to stay. The US set the stage for this revolution.  Blame the US !!!

[Every1DeservesIt]

Yes, that's the one thing they all agree on, "Death to America."

[oceanbound222]

The Shah's regime was a US puppet. The Shah was brutal as are all US puppet regimes. These regimes can do anything they want to their own people as long as they shine the shoes of America This is the same now in Egypt, Jordan, Saudi, Pakistan, etc etc etc IF they don't shine the shoes of America, then America demands a regime change.

[starcatcher7777]

ocean:

LOL and the Goat fuckers of Iran got exactly what they wished for:) Instead of some hope after being fucked up the ass by the MONGREL Turks for 1000 years now they are getting sodomized by Muhammed and ALLAH and DA AKBAR! LOL

AND BEGGING GIVE US THE SHAH BACK!

LMAO MUSLIM ELECTIONS!

[micahgee]

pretty much sums up US policy.

Control the oil, oppress and lie to the people to keep it flowing.

[Every1DeservesIt]

It's an improvement ofn the British, who basically stole the oil. It would be a disater for the US and the world if the Islamo-Fascist "people" were to lord over the oil.
