What I meant by "US" is Bush/Cheney/neo-con/Imperialists

I do not consider West or US as one entity. I believe Americans people are the best people in the world. But that doesn't mean their government is not generally hijacked by a few - at least at times. I don't think Bush and his gang are representative of average American. And I think these boys are working for other than American people. Nothing is absolute of course. The imperialistic views of some does not truly benefit Americans but it is what it is. Bush and his gang, even when they try to be honest believe that everything is possible AFTER you have overwhelming power over others and therefore getting to that power justifies everything. And that is the dangerous mentality - people who don't ruly believe they can coexist with others but that they MUST be controling others. Essentially they live in a paranoid terror of others - never trust others.

Mr. Rashidi

Thanks,

Have a great day,Sir

I believe that the West is

I believe that the West is neither complacent, nor tolerant; it is even hypocritical with regard to human rights abuses throughout the world. The simple truth is that there are so many human rights abuses that the West prefers to turn the head and look the other way.

However, I do not believe in the conspiracy theory, that the West is evil in essence! What is used to decouple Iranians from any responsible engagement and concrete views towards modernity and democracy which happen to be flourished in the West. This belief is mainly propagated by Islamists, Tudeh Party’s spectrum and followed by some grassroots of our populace.

If our nation could some who evolve into the realisation of democracy, it needs another regime with another constitution adaptive to our evolution, then we would not only live up to our ultimate potential, but we would also create facts on the ground that go a long way to ensure our survival.

IRI is the best thing that happend to the US

Why would Bush want to change the regime in Iran? How would he and his gang benefit from a more democratic regime in Iran? He as a puppet of his masters, wants just enough stability/democracy, etc in Iran to allow the free flow of oil and other resources. More than that would mean a price hike for such resources; less than than menas difficulty in getting the oil out of there. If the Iran was a very technologically advanced country, what do you think would happen to the price of oil? Why would Bush want that? This regime, Shah's regime and Reza Shanh's regime have all been put there to maintain such a balance. If there was relative democracy during Shah, it was there only to allow enough workers and police force to ensure the flow of oil. He is inasane but not in that way! I think you are missing the big picture. Bush only wants to keep Iran small; the regime weak; he NEVER wants the regime removed. That would be terrible for business. Even the whole fanatism/terrorism, etc has given him and his masters unimagined power. Today they have the so-called Patriot Act in the US that they could never dream of being able to pass as a law! They can increase military operations to such a level that was unimaginable a few years ago when the mythical "Al-Qaida" didn't exist - or was not propagandized enough to scare so many people. Heck they probably enhance AlQaida (if there really is such a thing) secretly so that they can then pass all kinds of bills and spendings. It is all good business for them. Why in hell would they want to get rid of their bread and butter? Don't buy into the "jang-e zargari." Look beyond that. Look at who is REALLY profiting from the current conditions.

XerXes: First of all don't bring the name Bush with intellect, just doesn't make sense.

M.G.:Ok.XerXes: Second why would you want the "west" to deal with Iran? M.G.: Because Iran needs the West for trade, science, and technology.

XerXes:Iran is a sovereign nation. True that IRI is a religious backward regime, but still it’s an official regime of the country of Iran.

M.G.: ZereshkXerXes: If anything needs to be done, the Iranian people are more than capable to deal with it.M.G.: May I ask why 20 million Iranians scurried like rats to vote for a half-crazy moron (Antarinejad) as the official representative of that nation?Xerxes: So stop dreaming for a day that the Europeans would crown Rajavi, won’t happen.

M.G.: Where did you learn the Europeans would crown Rajavi?  Last time I checked, his cult was considered a terrorist group.

Two points

Bush's credibility

Bush's credibility is not the factor that the thuggish attacks on Iranians in the US of Carter's era are not repeated. The reason is that Iranian community is now a strong and established pillar of economic life in the US.
Bush's policy towards the IRI has been more complaisant than the democrat Carter's.

in all fairness

What you say about Bush is true but I give him credit that unlike Carter who claimed to be pro human rights, Bush never turned his opposition to IR to discrimination aginst Iranians in US.

During hostage situation Iranians in US were being beaten up and degarded due to atmposphere that the government and media created but despite all the problems, Bush always talked highly and respectfully of Iranian people and seperated them from the regime and that atmosphere was not created in US.

So among all Bush's problems , credit must also be given when due.

FM of the ISLAMIC REPUBLIC of IRAN

the FM of the ISLAMIC REPUBLIC of IRAN is a bastard traitor, the devil's instrument, a participant in destruction of iran and oppression of iranians and an anti-iranian arab-parast. Who the hell cares about what the devil he thinks and says, the SOB lier.

Iran will not be freed or independent or respected until all of these traitors, arab-parast IRI leaders and followers, along with the corpse of their leader, the devil khomeini, are shipped to france where they came from.

US president's Middle East mission doomed: Mottaki
Tehran, Jan 14, IRNA

Iran-US-Al Jazeera
US President George Bush has failed in his mission to the Middle East region, Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said here on Sunday evening.

Speaking to Qatar's al-Jazeera TV network, the minister said Bush has tried to cause tension in the Persian Gulf region by talking about the fabricated story of a naval stand-off in the strategic Strait of Hormuz between Iranian speedboats and a US warship.

Referring to the increasing trend of bilateral cooperation between Iran and its neighbors in the region, Mottaki said that the US officials could not understand the historical, religious and cultural commonalties between Iran and other regional countries.

Pointing to the baseless accusations levelled against Iran by the US president in his speech in Abu Dhabi, the UAE, on Sunday, Mottaki said that US was the main cause of extremism in the region as it has been supporting terrorist and extremist groups during the past six years.

It was the US policies which have led to strengthening of extremist groups in the region, Mottaki told the Arab network.

He stressed that regional extremism would not benefit any person, country or nation.

Mottaki added that fanning the fuel of Iranophobia was the objective of Bush's visit to the region.

In a futile bid in Abu Dhabi, the US president accused Iran of supporting extremist group.
the US-Imperialism has long ago begann to produce tension between Iranians and the ArAb - Nations. Fortunately with zero success. The religious-cultural tides are too strong to get damaged by Trics of Mr. Bush. I think he went to ME to find new colaboratores against ISLAMIC REPUBLIC of IRAN because all his political friends, first of all europians will not be only the slaves of the old, ill Master. Not only Arabs, but also the eurpians know that there is no other chance but to live with the mighty, rich and peace seeking Iran in friendly commonalities than to let themselves get hypnotized by a dieing snake. greeting

dear sir:
what in george w. is un-hollow that his most recent speech should be? majority of people in this country are just tired of his face.
