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.

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

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).

@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.

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

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.
