If the U.S. attacks IRI, who will you side with?

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.

i would if you actually did first. you have not answered the straight forward question yourself yet. so tell us, if tomorrow the US started bombing Iran to attack and despose the regime, would you support the US or Iran (as in the country that was attacked)?

Dear Ms. Parsi

by Faramarz_Fateh on Wed Oct 28, 2009 11:37 AM PDT

To me, IRI does not represent Iran.  IRI is only a dark chapter in Iran's history which like all other chapters will come to an end, sooner than later hopefully.  A huge percentage of Iranians inside and outside of Iran share this view.

There is absolutely no threat of a regional much less global war if Iran is attacked by either Israel or the U.S. or both.  Because, no one in the middle east or on planet earth for that matter, with the exception of Hamas and Hezbollah gives a rats ass about Iran &/or Iranians.  That is because Iranians are neither Arab nor Sunni.

So, like it or not, Iranians are on their own.  Please go ahead and tell us, in explicit terms, whose side will you be on?

Dear FF & Bijan

OK so you mean if they attacked the IRI rather than Iran? am not sure how that would be possible physically, but if for the sake of argument the US managed to catch the IRI in a dark alleyway, i would not be running to save her! but, come on now, that is not a plausible scenario - to put it mildly! an attack is an attack and it would mean war on a regional level with so many deaths of innocent iranians and others - if not a global one. who would support that in their right mind?

btw, the Taleban killed 6 UN staff in Kabul today. Did you hear? that is how weak the US is in managing any conflict. the similarities between afghanistan and vietnam are striking. a baseless attack (let's remember that Afghanistan never attacked the US. it was some unknown faction they call al-qaeda, which was basically a foreign organisation that was initialy US and saudi funded in afghanistan), leading to a regional war, ultimately leading to the humiliation of the US. again. rather a low capacity for learning, these US politicians...

Peace

Attacking IRI

by Bijan A M on Tue Oct 27, 2009 04:22 PM PDT

does not mean siding with anyone. If someone attacks IRI, I'll say: "thanks for your support". But, that does not automatically mean I approve and support everything he does (even if I do).

Some clarification

by Faramarz_Fateh on Tue Oct 27, 2009 04:03 PM PDT

Mr. Parsi, ever since WWII, most wars fought on our planet have unjust and without good purpose.  My question was a general question, inquiring about people's loyalties.

Ali P Khan, I meant an armed conflict between 2 nations.

Ostaad jan, my family and I are not into bones unlike yours.  We do fillets and steaks.  Please keep the bones for your loved ones.

are you really saying that just because a country is not democratic, then the US has the right to go to war with it?

Peace

How would we view the conflict...

by Ali P. on Tue Oct 27, 2009 02:58 PM PDT

...as Iran v. USA?

Obama v. Khamenei?

Good v. Evil?

Aggessor v. victim?

The World v. Axis of Evil?

I guess it will depend on the circumstance, and each side's PR...

I'll side with the iranian people

by Mardom Mazloom on Tue Oct 27, 2009 02:49 PM PDT

who'll pay for the causalities. Isn't that important for you, Faramarz? You said that you have some relatives living in Iran, right? Would you like them to be hurt by such an attack?
More seriously, are you the guy who posted some articles on 'lets bomb Iran to get ride of mullahs' on this site?
