the fact that Iranian politicians say that, it shows how amateur they are to be so clumsy. Its funny to see this and also sad how they disregard it. Its so nonchalant and appears to be annoying them by simply being there.

How about making the text more readable? I couldn't read any of what it says .. the red font sucks .. put it in a gray background box or something.

Freedom meaning u can speak without getting shot! you can put bad guys away for being bad guys. freedom to open my company and make tons of money. Any other regime would not allow this. I can care less about the spying n satellites, thats required security i adore! thank GOD FOR IT!!! while u can remain in ur cave carving days for all i care.

That I can contend and agree with. The effective education level in the US has been steadily declining it seems for the past 60-70 years. I think WWII went to a lot of peoples heads.

It is a mystery to me why we cannot take more direct control of governing (as a populace) with the advent of the internet and the massive improvement of communication (technology, not communication ability). One should not have to devote their life to politics to have a real voice in the country's direction.

so Iran is up to speed with its goverment yet when they speak the get put down like little turds. Interesting concept. United States however does have that thing called FREEDOM! so go hate some more

Well said, but Americans are generally ignorant of what their government is doing so it's not so far fetched to think American's are partially to blame for the government's actions.  Eh, but I'm not worried cause sooner or later there will come a time when they(governement) will be held accountable for their actions, regardless or whether you authorized it or not mate.

Nice. Remember folks - when you're going to run an oppressive regime, take a moment to sit back and enjoy the pure humor of it all.

These generalizations that you're making are what are called Racism and Ethnic Profiling. Assigning attributes and actions to a race or populace displays a narrow-mindedness that many countries' peoples (including Iran's) are trying to get rid of.

I have stolen no land, and in fact have some Native American ancestry. Should the European portion give back the land great great grandfather stole to the Native American part? Furthermore, I have authorized no military actions, especially for oil.
