CHANGE

You are seriously

anti-American.  Your last sentence evokes something of a threat against the US... or at the very least, pleasure at her demise.

I dare say that many European countries are, in fact, quite thankful to the US and "their coherts" for stepping into both WWI and WWII. 

Might I ask where you live?  I would assume you are currently living in Iran, supporting her cause and fighting the IRI regime with all your might.  Correct?  Or no... you are living elsewhere, enjoying the freedoms and rights of another country, perhaps?

We Iranians Should Not Fall For The Tricks of HOSSEIN

Please take a little time to look at this 30 second clip. I am interested to know your opinions regarding it. I view it as a clear outline of the Iranian regime and how B. Hussein Obama will treat it differently than President Bush has.

Are these quotes representative of Sen. Barack Obama?
If they are, do you support these views?

Whatever you think of this video, it is a clear example of how Sen. McCain would have had an offensive foreign policy platform, similar to President Bush's, as opposed to Obama's defensive one.

In my opinion this is what B. Hussein Obama believes. I disagree with him, and I disagree strongly, but I will not insult him. Many people, including myself, view him as under-qualified to be president. Especially when taking his 'present' votes in the IL state senate into account. He is a respectable human being, especially because he admitted his mistakes on the O'Reilly Factor, but so did Senator McCain. Sen. Obama's social policies are very out-of-touch with the rest of us living in America who are pro-life and anti-gay marriage. Obama opposed something similar to the Born Alive Infants Act in the IL State Senate. Also, Obama opposed the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban that President Bush supported and proudly passed. Obama is for the radical redefining of marriage. I just hope Obama will not go through with his promise of ending President Bush's prodigious tax-cuts and fixing loopholes such as cell phone taxes and internet taxes, will be sure to keep our low inflation and HIGH GDP growth rate.

My final message:
Thank You President Bush

Vote Huckabee 2012

I almost had an orgasm when I read the following lines "The true

"American Shock and Awe has always been in its ability to simultaneously unburden itself of mistakes, reinvent, retool and soberly face seemingly insurmountable challenges head on coming out of them more democratic and better at spreading its bounty of freedom." WOW!

Kurosh,

You wrote:

"Our Iranian civilization is not great because of its rulers and its ancient history, but because our compassion for the grief of others who have not been fortunate."

Could you please give some examples of Iranians' compassion?

Maybe I didn't look hard or maybe I ran into the "wrong" people, but I have to admit I have yet to come across such Iranians, collectively.

The true what?

To use the term 'shock and awe' in a feel-good essay which proclaimes that redemption is finally at hand and heaven & utopia are just around the corner is simply in bad taste. 'Shock and awe' was the rubric used for the initiation of a brutal and barbaric invasion of a nation which was down on its knees due to debilitating sanctions, the harbinger of that great tragic event of our lives which is still unfolding in Iraq. To use it lightly is in bad taste when our brothers and sisters in Iraq and Afghanistan have born the savage brunt of it all. It might come as a surprise to the author of this essay that the Americans and their Western cohorts were the agents of this dastardly act. It might equally come as a 'shock', if not awe, to the author, that many of us out there know better that the monolithic, plutocratic tight-fisted two-party system, which is in actuality a dictatorship of the rich, for the rich and by the rich, has never brought anything good for the world and humanity. The history of America is an unceasing succession of wars: no sooner did the wars of extermination of the natives of North America come to an end than the American aggression and occupation of the Philippines began, which was then followed by WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. And all that for a country that has been in existence for a mere two cenuries. Obama is an apratchik of the tyranny of the plutocratic regime in the US. His mission, yet to be accomplished, is to continue the illegal occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, despite his promises, and to build permanent bases there for further aggressions. Our Iranian civilization is not great because of its rulers and its ancient history, but because our compassion for the grief of others who have not been fortunate. Thus as Iranians we must stop being so grovelling towards a brutal racist power which has brought so much greif and tragedy to the world. The US and its leaders are morally corrupt, have always been, and will soon collapse into smithereens. Then, will we celebrate in peace!

At least give credit

At least give credit to the person who originally wrote this piece and you are trying to pass on as yours on here.

I, Too

I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed -

I, too, am America.

- Langston Hughes, 1925
