The middle class itself isn't the majority in Iran. Most people lived in borderline poverty. I'm guessing you've never been to the other parts of Iran other than Northern Tehran. Like for example, we lived in basically borderline poverty, still had a plasma t.v though, lol. My cousins in Tehran were rich, though they didn't and still don't go after I-phones or I-pads. There's probabely something wrong with your cousins, so I suggest instead of judging others, fix your own family first.

"They are not afraid of the ideology alone, but of the detemination and will of the men behind it"

Well hey, Artimis, tell us

Well hey, Artimis, tell us all about your US military experience instead of the faux offended'ness.

AO, that's actually not that out of the ordinary. In fact, many US military veterans go on to become civil servants and encourage their kids to enlist. Another of my 1/4 Iranian nephew's uncles is a top level law enforcement official for the state, and he is encouraging of such.

In your case, perhaps this is symptomatic of the retreat of the American middle class. I tell you, I come from an American military family and of those that volunteered, being economically underprivileged was the motivating factor. It also played a role for those that were conscripted, as well.

You're like a broken record. I'm pretty young, my parents came here when I was 8. I'm currently in college. I will go back in the future, 15 years at best, much less if the regime changes. And what part of me taking advantage of the opportunities presented to me, stealing your jobs, and taking your wimmens did you not understand? I simply don't give a piss what Americans think of me. There are millions of immigrants who think like me. No loyalty to America what so ever, why should we, out of guilt?

First of all Sargord (Soldier Zero), Take that (above slap)and throw down boy! Or else you will stand (for a little while) and bleed... trust me that would happen to you someday soon, if you don't repent and change!! 

Second, How do you know that I didn't sign up and fight for America already?? I don't have to prove shit to you and terrorists like you...

You don't know anything because you are nothing but a lost soul who has fallen into the most insecure and fearful camp due to your own sheer ignorance and fearfulness! If America was like your beloved Islamic Republic, you would not be leaving free comments here in America! (That is if you are in fact living in the U.S. and not in Hezbollah centers in Lebanon) 

Let me break the news to you! You are not accepted by any true American or Iranian no matter what your blood line is coming from!!! You are the enemy of both countries and worse the enemy of humanity!!!

Now, as I said before, "Throw down boy! and go to sleep!! LOL

Actually no

Your cousins must be kids of bazaris.

Sons and daughters of middle class civil servants.  That's what's really strange. 

So, why didn't you go back?

You came here and realized it was not the land of opportunity that you thought it would be.  So why didn't you cut your losses and return home ASAP?

 Most people in Iran don't even know wtf a I-pad or an I-phone is. They struggle day by day just to get by, and don't have time for such garbage. Rich places like parts of northern tehran isn't your average Iran.

Your cousins must be kids of bazaris.

"They are not afraid of the ideology alone, but of the detemination and will of the men behind it"

We do not come here to become Americans!

I'll tell you people what I told my American friend. We immigrants don't come to this country just to become Americans, we come here cause of the opportunities presented to us. Blame it on the advertsment about America. You have no idea what they told us about America and how awsome it was gonna be, lol. When we came here my parents had to work their arses off, much worse than in Iran for us to even get by. Americans didn't give me this life, my family and I myself did. I don't owe crap to them. Not to mention the funding of the mullahs by America, I will never ever forget that as long as I live.

If it wasn't for them I wouldn't even be in this degenerate place in the first place. You can't pull the guilt card on me.

Parthianshot91 - I beg to differ

 I agree that materialism in Iran has increased, not to the level of America's of-cource

Dude, are you kidding me?  My relatives in Iran had iPads before they were cool here.  And I tell you--most of my relatives in Iran had flat panels before I, or anyone I know here, had them. 

Arayana Jaan

I don't expect you to fight.  You're not a citizen and / or do not live here.  And your cause for Iran is definitely a noble one.

Materialism as in being obssesed with money, only caring about what's "In" today. The Average American would just die if they didn't get their fookin I-phone 3g, or their I-pad. That kind of mentality leads to a cess-pool kind of society. Plus, I agree that materialism in Iran has increased, not to the level of America's of-cource, but it still has increased cause this regime lacks culture. They're not encouraging our own Persian/Iranian culture, people don't want their sharia islam, so they look to the west. I've said this hundreds of times and I will keep on saying it til you people get it.

I know Mark!

This is shaping up to be quite a humorous thread.

It was inevitable when the main clown--you--showed up. :-) 

I have to hand it to you, AO

This is shaping up to be quite a humorous thread.

NO!

I would not fight for America. But I would fight to have the Farr/Xvarnah restored to Iran, meaning I would fight to have the rightful King and Sovereign of my motherland restored to the throne in order for freedom and justice bestowed from heaven to return once again to the land of my blood and the land of my ancestors. Any real Iranian would do the same: they would fight for the return of the Farr/Xvarnah and nothing else!

What kind of enthusiasts of the Shahnameh are you people? Have you taken no lessons from Ferdowsi? Shame on you, fighting for America! Fight for Holy Iran against its ahrimanic occupiers NOT for America.

Well Artimis...

America was attacked in 2001. Why didn't you sign up?

Yet another chicken-hawk... 

Parthianshot91 - You want to see materialism?

Take a trip to Iran.  I can't keep up with the junk that my relatives there constantly buy.  

Arthimis- You have the right attitutude

It's great to see Iranian Americans who appreciate what this country has given them.  It's good to see that not all of us are namak-nashnaas ingrates.  

I will fight for America if

I will fight for America if she is ever attacked because they took me in at age 19 when my own old country or shall I say dictatorship government (Islamic Republic) forced me out! I was stuck for 2 years in Germany until The U.S. granted me an asylum! when I had nowhere to go!!! So, you bet you, I will fight for America because I love America!

lol

Good one, Parthian. My American grandfather accused my dad of the same thing. He told my mom why in the world did she have to marry a foreigner?

But after a while, he warmed up to him.

My Iranian dad, on the other hand, was awestruck by my physically mighty American grandfather and rightly so. 

I have a present for you

I have a present for you Sargord joon:-)

That's what will happen to the Antari and entire I.R. camp at the end! You want to be slapped like that? :-)

Now, go to sleep!

PS. AO jaan, great blog and cartoon! So true... LOL Thank you... :-)

What is there to figth for in the first place?

What does America have that is worth fighting for? To expand materialism and turn the world into a un-cultured toilet?

 Count me out buddy. I'm just here to take advantage of the opportunity that is given to me, steal your job and take your wimmens, just another typical immigrant :P

AO, I stand corrected

so we have some things in common, after all.

Samsam my borther - Gol gofti

You said it brother:

 These areOmmatie hustler nomads & in the tradition of their multi generational upbringing since the time of Omar & later self indulgence kharabatism have no country no nation no loyalty but that of their own survival. Fence sitting Omarus.

couldn't have said it better.  Unprincipled hezb-e-baad low lives.  That's what they are.

u kidding me bro?

Would they fight for america?..never mind AO jaan!. ask em;, "would you fight for anything. period" ?. These are Ommatie hustler nomads & in the tradition of their multi generational upbringing since the time of Omar & later self indulgence kharabatism have no country no nation no loyalty but that of their own survival. Fence sitting Omarus. These folks shed more skins in a week than a te havana hooker  does with condoms in a life time. They wil always choose the path of least resistance be it Omar's lap monkey or Taymour's bozmajeh or mullah's PR Bii-aarrs or even Obama's enlightened Greenists...they shall play the part so long as there is a get away car at the ready & a convenient exit door. just like the bourcieh basijii bradar crowd who incidently all end up staying the F*** in land of their great satan after grad. So no, they will not fight for anything but they shall suck it dry before they jiffy..

Cheers pilgrim !!!

Thank you again Fesenjoon

That blog photo cracks me up every time I look at it.  As I mentioned at the bottom of the blog, the cartoon is Fesenjoon's handiwork.  What a great job!!  Very creative!!  Fesenjoon is not only a great writer, he's also a great cartoonist. An artist all the way around.

So what's stopping you from running straight toward the local US armed forces recruiting office? 

BTW, CO status is irrelevant to current induction conditions as we field a strictly professional force.

My 1/4 Iranian nephew enlisted in the Marine Corps. Anyone in your family enlist- ever? Bigmouth?

So yeah, when you or even a family member of yours enlists, than we'll talk. But until then, quit with the chicken-hawking. You're only making a fool of yourself, something not uncommon among the cut and run'ers still waving the Lion-Puss flags. 

Service Guarantees Citizenship!

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7-PQIuWwLo

From one of my favorite movies.

Service in the U.S. armed forces is the hallmark of patriotism, and in my opinion, a prerequisite of an immigrant community into the society. Every single ethnic group in this country has demonstrated honor and valor in serving their adopted homeland...except for our community, at least in significant numbers up to this point.

"conscientious objector" is--IMHO--a cop out and a coward's way out.  Many people don't like to serve if there's a draft.  But they respect their fellow countrymen and women, suck it up and go do their duty. That's the only fair thing to do. 

Some of these jokes aimed at

Some of these jokes aimed at myself are kinda funny, like the Hogans Heroes one. But Darius, you should know that my American great uncle was killed in Alsace liberating your country in 1944. So that's not so funny.

Simorgh, you're too quick in jumping to conclusions about me and my family. You're also under-educated about American social history. But just so you know, my Iranian grandmother did not commit to American residency and lived in Iran for nearly her entire life. And my father never became an American citizen, preferring his default status of green card holder for all the years he lived in America. I know you try very hard to defame my American ancestry, Simorgh, but this is something that's unrelated to you immigrants from Iran, so it's not worth my time trying to educated you folks, content in your own ignorance and foreigner-type ways.

Khar, I appreciate your candidness. First let me state that it doesn't pleasure me to out the many anti-Iran self-exiled expats on this forum. In fact, this kind of behavior is a source of embarrassment , more than anything else. But you treat me in a civil manner and I will reciprocate. You treat me in a foul manner, and I will respond by telling you like it is, with nothing held back.

Regarding America, of course I love my country. And I have a fond appreciation for my Iranian heritage. That is why I advocate rapprochement efforts be made by the US toward the Islamic Republic of Iran, for I accept Iran today for what it is, politically and socially. Of course, since these efforts are not being made in earnest, I am critical of US ME policy. Don't ever confuse differences in policy with differences in national allegiance, something many of you emotionally jaded folks are so eager to engage in when it comes to your point of origin.
