Re: Aria

Aria, I agree. Saddam was an opportunist and he was anti-Iranian too. But the question still remains: Why didn't Khomeini continue with the war even after 1988?

jamshi, You must know that

jamshi,
You must know that saddam was going to buy time and get back again as he did a war later against kwwait.
That wild animal was not a peace-loving man so no matter what one had to go all the way to get rid of him. but unfortunately some countries did not realize that he was evil so they helped him.

Salut to all good people but shame on those who turn this into garbage can.

I was reading a book i saw this passages:

"Saddam was receiving unlimited support from his allies that included most of the arabs who were arab first and religious second, and some western countries who visited him to ask for shopping list and ironically they did it for reasons not understood by logical and wise men."

"The persian teenager became part of the history........

Re: Pro-IRI lackeys

I am yet to hear an answer from one of you soldouts. There were three questions:

#1: Why did Khomeini accept Saddam's peace offer in 1988? Why didn't he continue with the war?

#2: Why didn't he accept Saddam's peace offer in 1982?

#3: How much damage, in both human life and none-life assets, could have been saved if Khomeini didn't wait until 1988 and instead accepted the peace offer in 1982?

Condemn use children in war

Condemnation to all leaders of the world who allow children to participate in their war games, that includes IRI as seen in this picture, Palestinians who strap suicide bombs on their babied, and the Israelis who allow children to write nasty notes on artillery shells to be thrown at Lebanese.

To "mullah" down there!

YOu are a sick son of a bitch!
Seek mental help! YOU should not be walking in the street. But I tel you nothing can help you. You are rotten to the core. yOU must be flushed down the toilet!

Iran Iraq war and Saddam

America later punished Saddam for his failure to destroy Iranian "revolution, just like a Mafia boss does to one of his killers for it's failure.

Anonymous41 Listen

Why you don't want the West to take any blame for the lives of the Iranians? Whether Mullahs or IRI good or bad one thing, but why can't people like you realize that our problems are and have been the Europeans, specially the United States. Even if the United States wasn't messing with us today, Iran would be a prosperous and much freer place. They do all they do for people like you to buy their "presentation" and fall for the trick. They are doing it to us, sticking it up our behinds not the Iranians or the governments. Why then you blame Mossadegh when the world sanctioned Iran and the fight broke lose on the streets and safety of citizens were forgotten. Someone like you would say: Damn Mossadesgh that came to power and brought this upon us. Or when the Brits came to the south and killed and raped the citizens of the dashtestan, one could blame the shah of Iran. WAKE UP, why is your hate towards the regime of Iran blinding you to see anything else that is really going on?

The preceding comment was directed to "mullah"

But somehow it was posted up here!

Seriously, you're sad! Shame on you for making sick comments about them.

خجالتم خوب

خجالتم خوب چیزیه

If you think you were funny here, you're sadly mistaken. You just missed the whole point!

Iran belongs to ones who fought for it

If it wasnt for those who fought for Iran ,we wouldnt be able to post our comments here,why? There werent any country called Iran anymore to make comment on, We would have been a part of Iraq probably speaking arabic by now wearing arabic rope. So if during the 80s you were sitting on your ass in California taking sun bath, please dont bother to make any comment now.

Re: Anonymous41

I agree with you. Shame on ALL countries who profited from the Iran-Iraq war. But...

... But even MORE shame on the IRI for prolonging the war. Saddam the bastard Iranian hater, may hell be upon him, offered Khomeini a peace plan in which both countries would retreat back to their original borders. He even offered to pay Iran for some of the damages the war caused. This was in 1982. But Khomeini refused. Six years later, after hundreds of thousands more deads, Khomeini finally accepted the peace, but this time with Iraq paying Iran nothing.

Why did he accept the peace in 1988? Why didn't he go on with the war for longer? Once you answered this question, then ask why didnt' he accept the peace in 1982 in the first place?

What part of this decision had to do with the Americans or any other foreign entity? When Khomeini accepted the peace in 1988, there was nothing the profiteering Amercians could do to stop him, nothing. Had khomeini accepted the peace proposal in 1982, THERE WAS NOHTING, ABOSOLUTELY NOTHING, THE USA COULD HAVE DONE ABOUT IT EITHER.

Some may say that then any country could attack another, damage it, and then offer peace, that things just can't work that way. But the answer is that by 1982, it was clear that this is a war that, if prolonged, it could not be won and it would only profit the foreign countries.

I blame first Saddam for starting the war and then Khomeini for continuing it. Americans and the French who profited from the war were just parasites and they come farther down in the blame list.

correction to just babies...

...by "many others" I meant many other Iranians who did in fact save the country in the end (where the govt pushed and forced them to be killed), not solely many other "children".

Iran-Iraq War

I am not sure exactly how much contribution these 11,12 year old kids really had in the war. They probably were killed instantly. Their blood is on the hands of the regime and their ignorant parents who let them die in vain and as such took their youth away

Re just babies...

Indeed, this was the modus operandi of American foreign policy with regards to middle east during the 80s. It was called the policy of "dual containment" which meant contributing to the prolongation of this war as it weakened the two major oil producing powers in the middle east, hence setting them back for decades. I don't think the American people would ever know about the crimes their governments have comitted or will commit against humanity for the majority is treated to a regime of disinformation campaign by the media.

Just babies...

Just babies...
Look at them!
How old are they?-- 11,12 or 13?
These were the children who along with many others gave their lives (during those 8 years)and saved Iran!
I am totally ashamed and totally "disgusted" with the Mullah-govt. in Iran,
who sent these children out to the front lines...
Shouldn't America be ashamed of their govt. for being the ones who provided the means to kill these children?
Most Americans don't know it was their govt. who was one of the main providers of the same weapons to Saddam on an every day basis??
