One Nation, One Flag and One Country
True Nationalism and start believing in ourselves is the answer to become prosperous and successful
The West is as Evil as the East and they all have all the reason to be. Kudos to them for what they have done and achieved. It is the survival of the fittest.
So, you need to understand you have no friends and you need to be competitive and survive.
Lulu from Brazil understood it and turned around a country from poverty to prosperity
Singh from India did it
Deng Xiaoping & Jiang Zheming from China did it as well
Nationalism...When you hear the word Iran your heart shakes, your body freezes and you want to die for it...That is nationalism
When you want to defend your people, your honor and the country's name and that is nationalism

ReportIran needs a strong government with a strong military, not dueling militaries but something that can keep Iran intact and deliver a punishing blow to regional powers, something that is at least twice or three times as strong as Pakistan or Turkey. It needs a strong air force and navy especially, needs to develop at least 10 destroyers and 20 frigates, 20 submarines of various sizes, and perhaps a cruiser or two and helicopter/VTOL carriers.
These are the airplanes Iran needs:
1) F-15 Strike Eagle
2) F-16 Falcon
3) MiG-29 Fulcrum
4) Su-35 Flanker
5) Panavia Tornado
6) FA-18 Hornet
7) A-10 Warthog
8) Su-25 Frogfoot
9) Su-34 Fullback
10) Tu-95 Bear
11) Tu-160 Blackjack
Helicopters
1) Apache
2) Cobra
3) Mi-88 Hind
4) Chinook
5) Black Hawk
6) Sea King
Tanks
1) M1A1 Abrams
2) Leopard
3) Challenger
4) Osorio
5) Bradley IFV
Until Iran has a strong military, nationalism won't be feasible in practice, perhaps in theory and in the people's hearts, but not in practice.
iranvatan – One Iran for all Iranians
ReportI don't agree..
First we must establish the rule of law...the law that protects individual rights and protects the land
A military is just a cloth
It is like putting an armor on a sick body no matter how string the armor is ... you will die since your body is sick
Iranian justice system, rule of law is SICK and corrupt

ReportOn a side note, what is the difference between IranVatan # 1 (you) and IranVatan #2 (the guy with the map as his avatar). Are you guys the same people with different accounts?

I wish him/her the best.
iranvatan – One Iran for all Iranians
ReportI don't agree with you.
I never liked Shah and his son.
I think it was because of his failures and ignorance and cowardness today we are are where we are.
Shah was never a nationalist but a Western Puppet.
We have had no true Iranian rule Iran and be the leader since Cyrus, Darius, & Xerxes.
Those were nationalist.
Mossadegh was an Iranian who wanted to bring constitution and the right of people if Shah had worked with him we would have had been in a better place.
We need to understand Shah Era is Over, Mullahs Era will be soon over.
There is no more room for individual but PEOPLE...People will start ruling the country not individuals
amirparvizforsecularmonarchy – One of the most humorous things in the world; is the notion that Americans are a greater force for good & more civilized than Nazi's, Mullahs and Communists.
ReportTrue Nationalism is what the late shah and his father represented for Iran. And they brought us Peace, Progress and Improving Human Rights, Freedom and Justice for all. Based on the thousands of top scholars, scientists, philosophers, artist and poets of Iran who were responsible over centuries for creating our National Iranian Culture, I for one take their side and support the institution of shah-han-shahi which they helped create and gave so much to the world.
While Mossadegh spoke of nationalism in Practice he betrayed a young and inexperienced shahs trust for him. So he doesn't qualify as an example of Nationalism for me, if that were the case we would need to get our fellow countrymen educated enough to determine that betraying a king is not Nationalistic.
