I hope things turn out well for the Iranians, good luck everyone over there.

I am an Azeri Iranian. please just speak for yourself. my brother in law is from balouchestan. He is beloved in my family. There is no walls between iranian people. If you don't like your life in Iran just go to an post office and get a passport and leave.

Iran is our land and we will build it again with our hands.

[FrsBigeasy]

Well I'll explain it to you since you asked.

Israel has Nukes to Defend them self from people like Hesballah which is sponsored & probably created by the Islamic Republic as well as other Terrorist Groups that are also probably sponsored by the Islamic Republic. If Iran had a Peaceful Government then what they did with their resources wouldn't be a problem. Israel is in a Neighborhood that for the most part hates them including the Islamic Republic. Israel has a right to defend itself.

and what is wrong with iran having nuclear weapons..i don't see why it's such a big issue. israel was founded on stolen land and caused misery for millions of people since it's creating..fyi they're not welcomed in the middle east. But of course to you we're just a bunch of blood thirsty greedy terrorists and israel is just a 'victim' trying to defend herself. right?

[FrsBigeasy]

If I'm so Pathetic why are you talking to me?

Israel is a Country of 6M people & is surrounded by much larger Country's, hopefully your aware of that but I'm can't be sure from what you said about Turkey. Wars are a 2 way street. Other Country's have been at war with them. Israel has a right to Protect itself but perhaps you disagree, maybe you think they should just take it & not respond. Iran is trying right now as we speak to get Nuclear Weapons but perhaps your not aware of that either.

[xplosivelilly]

wow seriously, you sound like a total dumbass...what the 'terrorists' say there? you sound like an utterly pathetic person.

Isreal has always been a big threat to the rest of the middle east. Every sinngle decade since they were founded, has been in wars with its neighbours, and has nuclear weapons in the middle east. Turkey has one of the most repressive constitutions in the world.

[FrsBigeasy]

I can't Believe I'm talking to someone who Believes this, I must be already asleep & having a Strange Dream & will bespending the next day wondering what it meant.

There are 2 Democracy's in the Middle East, Israel & Turkey no matter what the Terrorists over there say. You said "Beacon of Freedom" not me. If the Iranian people want an Islamic Republic, find as long as its no shoved down their Throat & their not a Threat to other Country's that Disagree.

[xplosivelilly]

Turkey is a beacon for freedom? Since when? There is no real freedom in Turkey..it's just a polar opposite. instead of fanatical mullahs ruling, you have fanatical secularists surrounding a cult of one man. Just criticizing or any insult to 'Turkishness' puts you in prison. And what if the majority of Iranians do want an Islamic government? Turks have freedom to practice only if it 'fits' into the Kemalist 'mold' of thinking, anything different has to be done discretely.

[FrsBigeasy]

Apparently you didn't read my comment.

This might be time for Iran's Democratic Revolution & a Return to Secular Rule.

Turkey is a Great Example, a Country of 70M people same population as Iran with Strong Islamic Tradition's but separated from the Government where people have the Freedom to Practice their Religion & not be Dictated by Clergy.

[xplosivelilly]

for what? for iran to return to the days of the shah? for iran to turn into another turkey? persecute people for being religious?
