US Iranian's republican support - 25 Oct 08

[YouthComplex]

Why does the US think it has the right to puppet all of the other countries? Just because it has a bigger army doesn't mean it's right. In fact, I think it means they're idiots - they can't see that not only is war ethically wrong, but it's also counter-productive. If they spent half of their military funding on science progress, we'd be living in space stations by now (exaggeration on purpose).

[arbighookasian]

fuck republican party for that matter fuck any american party because all they want is chaos, americans would never want democracy for IRANIANS, IRAN was a democrocy when doctor ALI MOSADEGH took power, but herry s truman overthrew the democrocy, so if you think americans want peace for you think twice they are just mother fuckers

[persiandudeee]

Since when did America have 2 million Iranians? It's 1 million at best.

[morchid34]

i hate the mollah of iran but the majority of iranian abroad who suport an invasion are atheist , zoastrian , christian without mujahidine khalq who are muslims

[masterofmetacognitio]

Why wouldn't they? Shariah law discriminates against non-Muslims!

[seanamico]

morchid, FUCK ISLAM, its pathetic shit prophet a mass murdering cock sucking pedophile & his piece of shit scum Ali & his cock sucking bastard kids.

[SaracenWarrior]

Salam Alaykom,

I am an Iranian-American Muslim Democrat (I used to be for Ron Paul who is a real Republican)...I and the millions like me voted for OBAMA! Iran is a great country and the Los Angeles Iranians don't know what Iran is anymore because they have not lived there for over 30 years...however I can tell you IRAN IS GREAT...nothing like the news says. Nobody is being oppressed, infact everybody including Christians and Jews are happy in their Parliament.

[BrownSugar4You]

waley kum salam,

we Pakistani Muslims love Iranians, our national anthem is in Persian language, even though we don't speak persian.

anyway, God bless Iran

[Hooshang1aa]

All Iranian-American I met, but one would vote for Obama. I belive that's the right choice for the US and the rest of the world...

[emjee]

gringo if you had brains you'd be DANGEROUS.

McCain supported the SURGE and ITS WORKING. WHy are you afraid to admit THAT?Why do you think we dont see anything about the war on the nightly news anymore? B/c the surge is WORKING.God forbid anyone should KNOW THAT though.The surge was John MCain's idea.He kept telling Bush that for MONTHS.you WANT US to get attacked again!You say BO wld invade Pakistan and yet you SUPPORT him.r u tryin to convince us BO is bttr at military strategy?

The way to silence religious disputes is to take no notice of them.

[ChristianLove2008]

[conduit99]

[ChristianLove2008]

no it wont. white guys, mexican guys or black guys, Persian sluts dont differentiate when it comes to whoring themselves.

[octoberseven]

Christian love huh? Perhaps you need to learn what Christ taught.

[ChristianLove2008]

im not christian, I'm Muslim al7umdulillah, I made this nick only to show love in xtianity

[Grin32]

actually if i was an iranian in america and had any love for my motherland i would boycott the election all together.

[theroomunderground]

Great reporting AlJazeera. I think that alot of loyal republicans have lost faith in the GOP.

[cyrus2020]

elgringorumbero is a moron who cannot understand the facts. idiot elgringorumbero is hallucinating. elgringorumbero supports clueless Obama and Ayatollah Biden who want to appease mullah Ali Khameneis terrorist regime that has tortured and murdered thousands of Iranians. elgringorumbero is a pro-mullah ass-licker.

[Organjic]

internet fights suck...

I actually support both these comments. lol!

[knowitx]

NeoCons say one thing and do another. Iran was ALWAYS US ally. US was NEVER going to 'bomb Iran' That was CLEAR. The US took out Saddam, for Iran. Or so it would seem. Look at the facts, not the rhetoric and excuses.

[ZzTheTruthzZ]

hey moron....us took out saddam for reasons you will never understand.

[deliciousmorton]

nobody understands.

[Organjic]

US took out Saddam for Israel, just like every middle eastern country attack. Including those attacks against the false flag 9/11 terrorists in the caves of Afghanistan. 9/11 was an inside job with Israel Zionist influence. Researching recent history will free the world!

[knowitx]

US took out Saddam and exposed Israel to existential inhalation. Saddam was the check and balance in the region. Only a fool would believe US took out Saddam FOR Israel. Tell that to Hamas and HezbuAllah. Fool.

[faboulela]

If Saddam's fall was so bad for Israel, why did the Israelis sell weapons to Iran during its war against Iraq in the eighties? Why have opinion polls shown higher support for the US invasion in Israel than in any other country including the US? Why did US soldiers train in Israel for counterinsurgency on their way to Iraq in 2003? I agree with you that Saddam's overthrow presents risks for Israel, whether most Israelis agree or not. But please don't call those who disagree with you "fool".

[knowitx]

Because Israel did what USA demanded it do. Israel has made MANY self defeating dangerous for Israel acts on the request by USA.

1980 were not 1990's or 2000's and Israel was ALWAYS an ally of Iran. Only recently has Iran become enemy of Israel. In fact, Israel is still a friend of Iran, but USA and Britain sabotage it, at the peril of Jews and Persians. NO PERSIAN's HONESTLY hate Jews! No Jews hate Persians. It is RIDICULOUS to say otherwise. OUR LEADERS ARE CORRUPTED AT OUR PERIL!

[knowitx]

Israeli opinion polls are as valid as US polls! NOTA! WAKE UP, faboulela, Israel leadership is as corrupt as Iran! Israeli leaders are JEW HATERS! They ARM THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL! They are NOT JEWS! You, and all of us have payed because of a weak Israel!

[knowitx]

Pro Shah? NO WAY! The Shah replaced the the legitimate elected PM of Iran. It took a series of manipulations to undermine the legitimacy of The Iranian People's right to democratic governance. Remember, Iran WAS a democracy, PRE SHAH.

[Grin32]

a democracy that was ousted by the CIA the US government and cia.

[banzaidawan]

Grin32: Replaced by the dictatorship under the Shah in Iran.

[LeHuyAnh]

This is truly sad...Iranian-Americans are like Vietnamese-Americans.

[deliciousmorton]

only wealthier.

[Grin32]

and like cuban americans and mexican americans etc... what else is new.

[LeHuyAnh]

I'm worried as to how much a fringe party Obama is turning the Democrats into...I mean, it's sad to say, but seeing the situation, his victory would depend entirely on blacks and open-minded white ppl!

Closed-minded white ppl, immigrants trying to suck up to them, and racist democrats are what he's up against!

[knowitx]

What factual evidence is there that the US has actually tried to facilitate the interests of the freedoms of the Iranian People? The US CREATED Islamic Revolutionary Government. The US was NEVER going to bomb Iran. Saddam is GONE! WHY? There are a LOT of double messages, but one is clear. Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski's policies are on track, and the Mullahs and Ayatollahs are in control. The middle east is a cauldron driven by a psychotic Jew hate machine funded and greased by the west.

[jerkinp]

The West normally supports Israel not the Arabs. Therefore can't grease the Jew hating machine. The West does however support the dictators and absolute monarchies in all other Arab states except for the dictators in nations like Syria and Sudan. All these leaders keep an iron fist control on the people. The people on the Arab streets are the ones who hate Israel and the West. This hatred has turned religious after Arab nationalism failed and Saudi money spreading its version of Wahhabism Islam.

[Type59]

This video does not highlight it but some Iranians support military action by US against Iran. Look at comments on various Youtube Iranian relating postings. Sounds crazy but its true.

[jerkinp]

Thats simply because their families were part of the group that was privileged and enjoyed themselves under the puppet Shah while the majority of Iranians suffered. They left after or during the Revolution and have no actually families there to worry about if the U.S. attacks Iran. There are no different from the Iraqis that were promoting the invasion of Iraq.

[ali67888]

jerkinp is absolutely RIGHT about douche bag Iranians :D the funny thing is that these american-iranians keep saying "we want freedom for people of iran" but they supported shah (a dictator who overthrew elected PM of iran) and received money from him :O WTF ... why don't u ppl how are interested about politics of middle east go and talk some courses in university about these issues or at least read some books ... go read "All the Shah's Men"

[emjee]

Typical al-jazeera propaganda. You people better wake up. You close your eyes to the killing and bloodshed all around the world done in "allahs" name. Muslims are the most primitive people on earth. They refuse to even treat their own WOMEN with dignity, yet Al-Jazeera NEVER says A SINGLE WORLD about the violence commited against women every hour of every DAY.The beatings,the stonings

look for it and you will find PLENTY of video on yutube to back me up.Put that in your pipe and see how it sux.

[marioshriver]

i read your post, and i can say that :

YOUR ARE THE PRIMTIVE ONE !

[HugeJohn51]

riiiigghht- and the US never kills anyone around the world, or overthrown any democracies, or isn't filling Iraq with depleted uranium which will have negative effects for years. Go watch Fox if you can't handle any other point of view, they will tell you what you want to hear.

[bbproductionsLA]

I'm voting for Obama and Biden

[BigBrotherWii]

Thank you Al-Jazeera...sounds like Obama's really growing very strong in support. Iranians...keep standing strong for everyone's sake.

[cyrus2020]

elgringorumbero is a moron who cannot understand issues. idiot elgringorumbero doesnt understand that opposing clueless Obama and Ayatollah Biden does not necessarily mean supporting someone else. I oppose the enemies of Iran who want to appease mullah Ali Khameneis terrorist regime that has tortured and murdered thousands of Iranians. elgringorumbero is a typical pro-mullah moron.

[Organjic]

Ugh... Obama? McCain and Obama have the same ideas about Iran! WTF! FUCKING SHEEP!

[sexdrugsRnR]

one is willing to talk first then bomb.. the other is bomb first then talk

[rasjahjah]

Obama will focus his energy internally as opposed to damm Mccain who will drive more money the international way

[boopiie]

I'm still stunned by the way John McCain talks about war and foreign nations, in particular Iran. I understand he was once a POW, but as a politician, he seems to group the world into three neat categories: America, Allies and Enemies. I don't understand war very much but John McCain seems much too quick to go to war. There's something childish, egotistical and cavalier in the way he broaches the subject of war, in some ways equal to or worse than the Bush administration's foreign policies.

[Realizalize]

war is a sin

for sure

you oughta know .

[emjee]

You are RIGHT "Boopee",you DONT understand jack SHIT about military matters.How the HELL would you know how "Quick" he is to go to war?I want someone to serve as the PRESIDENT.The PRESIDENT's JOB is to make sure we dont get attacked again.All of our ENEMIES (And WE HAVE ENEMIES,we ALWAYS have and we ALWays WILL)are just WAITING for us to elect Obama.What does that tell you?You ppl better WAKE UP!Our embassies,the USS COLE, the 1st WTC,9/11 no more since we started taking the war TO THE ENEMY.

[3051michael1]

@emjee YES I AGREE WITH YOU BUT LOOK AT OUR COUNTRY MY FRIEND. FOR EXAMPLE ARABS AND OTHER MIDDLE EASTERN PEOPLE EASILY CROSS THE MEX BORDER. LETS BE HONEST SOMETIMES CAN YOU TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A ARAB , PERSIAN, OR MEXICAN? THEY GIVE THEMSELVES FAKE ID PASS AND SPANISH NAME. EASILY SWITCH FROM MOHAMED TO JOSE.

[ali67888]

wow Iranians vote republican!!!!???? Republicans stand against anything immigrants care about! I think Iranians are conservative in nature look at their own country, it's one of the most conservative regimes in the world! Also they don't understand benefits of taxing and therefore are against it no matter what! (just like rural America!) I think the reason I support Obama is because I'm more Canadian than Iranian now! :o

[cyrus2020]

This is typical aljazeera misinformation. Joe Biden has ties to supporters of the terrorist mullah regime. Most Iranians oppose Biden and clueless and dangerous Obama. Only morons believe aljazeera propaganda. You can read about Ayatollah Biden's ties to supporters of the mullah regime by googling Biden and Nemazee and Namazikhah.

[cubaneiros]

wow, very interesting piece.

i love al jazeera!

[oceanbound222]

I cannot imagine that US Iranians would vote for McCain. John McCain needs to go to a nursing home. Cindy McCain needs to go to a drug rehab.
