Estimates of the number of Iranians living in the U.S. range from 350,000 to 600,000. Lets say its 450,000 for the sake of argument. This is where idiots are gonna stop reading and ask for my sources and links!
This is not a small number by any standard. Of course, many of these people were either born here or came to the U.S. when they were kids.
So after reading a blog on here which asked the question “if Israel attacks Iran, who will you side with”, I got thinking.
What if the U.S. attacks Iran? Who will I side with? Who will most Iranians side with?
For me, the choice is clear when we talk about U.S. vs the IRI. As a disclaimer I have to say I oppose ALL types of war except maybe if there is a situation like WWII. I came to the U.S. at age 12 1/2. Been here 35+ years. And the U.S. as a country and Americans as a whole have been pretty decent hosts.
But what if its 2015 and Iran has turned into a democracy? The choice then will not be clear cut. On the other hand, U.S. will not have an excuse to go to war with a democratic secular Iran.
