Bavafa - American Soldiers, eh? Sorry, just Iranians/Muslims.

Americans are trying to leave Iraq a stable and prosperous country, it's just that the iraqis won't let them and would rather kill each other instead. The sort of brutality you saw in this video is the kind of thing that only happens in muslim countries, particuarly barbaric ones like Iran. 

Better pray those soldiers don't turn their heads to Iran.

Most Iranians can relate to him

My family wasn't military or as they would say "Taghooti", but we also as a middle class family could feel the brutality of the regime and his supporters esp at the beginning of the Revolution.  Shah wasn't great but he and his loyalist weren't deserve all those misfortune brought to them by religious, ignorant thugs.

This guy at least believe in something, those who stayed in Iran lost their faith completely. Btw, he is a very nice looking guy, U can tell his family was one of the shah loyalist.

Another pundit on Iran

 Dear Mr. Nasser:

 

First of all, tell me something I don't know already!  Secondly, as a 9 year old you don't know what was going on in Iran in late seventies that led us on a revolutionary path.  Perhaps being a member of a military family you were exposed or told about massive corruption existing in the Iranian military regarding procurements/ expenditures, bribes, and kick backs.  To substantiate, look into General Toufanian's - Shah's front man in procurements -  shenanigans and how he was able to amass a $30 million fortune!  Thirdly, Iranian.com and your interview are indeed a blessing as an effective marketing/ advertising campaign for your book!

this is a story of a 9 year boy that has gone fishing, never mind that this sort of the things happened on a daily bases in Iraq by American soldiers.

I suppose 'balanced' view is in the eyes of beholder!
