Iran is not the Problem 7/9

IRAN (is not the problem) is a feature length film responding to the failure of the American mass media to provide the public with relevant and accurate information about the standoff between the US and Iran, as happened before with the lead up to the invasion of Iraq.

We have heard that Iran is a nuclear menace in defiance of the international community, bent on "wiping Israel off the map", supporting terrorism, and unwilling to negotiate. This documentary disputes these claims as they are presented to us and puts them in the context of present and historical US imperialism and hypocrisy with respect to Iran.

It looks at the struggle for democracy inside Iran, the consequences of the current escalation and the potential US and/or Israeli attack, and suggests some alternatives to consider.

This 79 minute documentary features Antonia Juhasz (The Bu$h Agenda), Larry Everest (Oil, Power, and Empire), and other activists and Iranian-Americans. The DVD also contains a 20 minute preview version ideal for meetings. The goal of this movie is to promote dialog and change the debate on Iran, so please consider organizing a screening, big or small, in your area.

Produced by Aaron Newman, an independent film-maker and part of the Scary Cow film co-op in San Francisco. He is an anti-imperialism/pro-democracy activist, founder of the SF Chomsky Book Club, and a member of Hands Off Iran

There are differences of opinion between many of the voices in this film, but all agree that a war would be unjustified. Below are brief video introductions for each of the people who participated.

my comments aren't anti-american...they're anti-american WARS.

By the way, the user who uploaded this video didn't make it...this video can be found on DVD. Free speech protects this DVD. You hate this doccumentary because you know it's true....i bet you haven't even watched the whole thing because truth hurts you.

Whatever... America still has Iran in their sights, and is gunning for Islamic-Fundamentalism... and whoever else gets in their way. There's no such thing as right and wrong..Just MIGHT!...So Watch Out.. because the CIA scour the internet especially YouTube, looking for people making anti American comments like yours. You are no doubt already on their list.. Don't think you're protected by free-speech because that wont save your sorry ass when the hammer drops..

GOD SAVE THE USA

no - YOU are the one with the short memory.

Remember in the 1950s? when the American government OVERTHREW DEMOCRACY in Iran because the prime minister wanted to distribute the wealth of the oil among the IRANIAN CIITIZENS? They held the Americans because they wanted the shah back in Iran to go on trial - you haven't watched this have you?

You see the americans now saying "there should be democracy there"...how ironic they say that when they GOT RID of democracy in iran.

You have a short memory, but America does not..Have you forgotten the invasion of the American Embassy, and the hostage takers. These are the same people in power in Iran today.

Iran made an enemy that day. And that's why the USA backed Iraq in it's war with Iran, and why America seeks revenge by Crushing Iran what ever the cost. Iran has no future until that score is settled GOD BLESS AMERICA

Footnote: I traveled to Iran on business many times. I find Iranians a Despicable people

This film was made to make the public MORE AWARE of what is going on with Iran, maybe you should start watching this from part 1 - it really is very interesting. When Iran wanted to co-operate with the US, the US REJECTED co-operation. The western public are being mis-informed about iran, this video was made to counter those misinformations.

No, YOU should be stripped of YOUR ctizenship - ever heard of something called FREEDOM OF SPEECH? The makers of this film have rights

US Empire is evil and it will collapse one day!

I am shocked that you thought it OK to produce this anti American propaganda.

The same twisted view of the world, could be applied to any Geo-political sphere. You make a very good case for censorship of the press. YOU MUST REALLY HATE YOUR COUNTRY, I feel ashamed of your evil acusations. GOD BLESS AMERICA for fight against world chaos. You have a very short memory. Ask your parents their views about American foreign policy? ..You should be stripped of citizenship and sent to Iran to live.
