Is the U.S. similar to Iran?

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Cal.) trying to explain how the U.S. is not like Iran, and me arguing against him that his party is converting us closer towards it every day.

warisforsuckers? so is Bush same as Khomeini? in america, Americans protested eavesdropping on internationals, in Iran it is a normal practice, Iran prohibit any non-islamic party and protest, US allows even islamic parties, protests and even 9/11 inside job nuts. and more

Hello. My argument is that authoritarian politicians in both parties (but most recently - the past 7 years - Republicans) are moving our country closer to authoritarian theocratic structures like Iran. That we are now closer to Iran's political system than we have ever been in our history and the momentum of that change is accelerating. Promoting Iran as an adversary will cause us to become like them.

So did Nazi germany made US Nazi at that time? US is institutional democracy, and even more, Americans are armed, there is no any transit possible in any near future to a limit close to Iran, you obviously never lived under dictator government. I lived. while I agree war on terror limits liberties, but never close to Iran.

I tried to answer your very large question, but YouTube limits us to 500 characters. Let me just say that I do give complicated answers to that question and more in my fictional novel, "nothing is better than god" (not a religious book, hah).

...if you or anyone else would like a free .pdf copy of the book just message me.

well, will see your book, but I heard lots of this kind of talk. but that kind of talk based on conspiracy theories, most of these theories based on no real evidence and make no sense. imagine in US that happens, if Republicans or Bush guys wanna be dictators, they would have to ban weapons first.

[warisforsuckers]

yeah if they wanted to go 'full nazi' on our society (not that handguns will do anything up against WMDs, hah)... but I'm not sure the U.S. is sustainable as an entity if it gets that bad, so they may wanna hold it at a slightly 'friendlier than Soviet' status. Who knows though, they may think they're controlling it but they can very easily lose control of the changes they're making.

I agree with the guy on the video, Iran is not the same as the US.

Iran does not have over 2 million of its citizens in jails.

Iran did not kill over 2 million Vietnamese, or carpet bomb Cambodia, or invade Panama and Grenada, install dictators in Chile, Greece, or rig elections in europe, or have its soldiers go on the other side of the planet to kill thousands of people for plunder and profits.

@zoromaskcoming so is Bush same as Khomeini?

THEIR WHOLE FAMILY - compare / contrast to "pick a foreign dick" - your choice. look 'em up. I'm not askin' I'm tellin' - you really have no idea who they are... both US political parties are for war and themselves. But seriously. Look it up.

[waterspindle]

LOL ... People see dictators elsewhere somehow differently than the ... er .. DICK TATORS ... we have not abroad? Pretend I'm in any country. It's true. We're all #UCKED.
