Iran - Friends or Enemies?

The heat is rising and it is time to take a fresh look at our enemy, Iran. Is Iran the new Iraq in U.S. foreign policy? Are the people of Iran anti-U.S. or only the current regime? And, is there an effective difference? An American journalist, an Iranian journalist and a Professor of Iranian culture, politics and history demystify Iran in this expert panel on the so-called "Axis of Evil" member. This panel, which took place at San Francisco's Commonwealth Club, features Link TV's Jamal Dajani, producer of Mosaic: World News from the Middle East, and the weekly Mosaic Intelligence Report.

We all remember Hitler. It doesn't give Israel the right to defy Geneva Conventions that were set up in the first place to punish atrocities committed against the Jews. Iran hasn't attacked a country in over a hundred years!

[Alexander021]

AHAHAHAHHA you are no iranian.. We REAL IRANIANS stand by our country no mather who is in power. Much like the Israelis and the Americans. You dont even know anything about iran right? Let me guess your mom and dad are shah lovers right?? And you have heard stories about that son of bitch ever since you were little? So you guys who like the shah so much STAY IN FUCKING L.A AND MAKE FAGGY MUSIC VIDEOS AND SHUT THE FUCK UP!! I HATE ISLAM ALSO BUT I SUPPORT MY COUNTRY!!

LINK TV SUCKS

Who ever watches link tv is a drone. If it were not for the great USA the middle east would have already been conqured. By who ? well, russia or china duh. what do you think they would have done for it's people. Right on , absolutly NOTHING at least our country gives a shit about them. Like i said you drones Link tv is a propagana scheme do not watch that station. AS Far as IRAN is concerned, Your days are numbered and your people will be free soon. BET ON IT!!

It is unfortunate, and puzzling that Dr. Milani has decided to embrace historical revisionism in his latest article, which claims "everything you know about U.S. involvement in Iran is wrong".

For a thorough rebuttal just Google:

exporting IT'S VERSION

of islamic revolution !!

fallacy .

what islamic  regime in iran do IS the true laws of islam .

[blance8888]

America would take over Iran easily, its just too powerful, though the consequences would be huge. I think the west needs to leave that part of the world and leave them to their own problems and let them kill each other, we are no welcome there so lets get out!

[fuhmeregan]

Regime-change is coming up. The election showed there are more good, not deluded Iranians then there are 'dictator lovers'. I hope they get out of the bombing areas, as regime-change is coming - no way to know when. It's terrible, for the country's good people.
