Leaders of the world, no matter who they are or what country they represent, can get up on their bully pulpit and holler and scream all they want in order to coerce Iran into doing what THEY want. Well, folks, it isn’t going to happen, simple as that, bottom line truth and fact!
Many individuals don’t like the way the Iranian government is dealing with the protests and others who didn’t like the outcome of their recent election, and especially those in the United States. However, you have to remember that, right after George Bush took office in January of 2001, He signed Executive Orders giving him the same power that the head honcho of Iran, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has in dealing with protesters. Just read the complete Patriot Act!
A simple majority of 50% plus 1, is all it takes to elect a new President in Iran. I can guarentee you, that at least 50% of Iranians despise the United States. You may not like the idea that the Iranians consider us the “Great Satan” (that title has recently been awarded to Britain) and you can’t understand as to why these countries don’t just love us! I mean, aren’t we the land of milk and honey, where everyone just loves each others culture and all get along? Not in your wildest dreams…
In the whole middle east, Israel wants to be the sole military power at all costs. They are the only country that has nuclear weapons and they do not want any other country to have them, nor ever have the capabilities to have them. They don’t even want these countries to have defensive weapons, and this government has contineously bowed down and supported every single wish and demand of the Israeli’s. Iranians know it, Iraqi’s know it, Syrians know it, Egyptians know it, Jordanians know it, Saudi Arabian’s know it and so does every single Palestinian!
Do you really believe that a majority of Iranians would have voted to snuggle into bed with America? So there may have been a little hanky-panky with the ballot boxes over there…but not anywhere near enough to change the outcome of their election! Now if you want to talk about hanky-panky concerning elections, look no further than what took place in Florida in 2000 or Ohio in 2004. Before we as a people start screaming about other countries elections, we better clean our system up first.
The whole mentality of this government and others that the only recourse is to “bomb, bomb Iran” is off the charts. Iranians are going to do what Iranians are going to do. And you can’t convince me that the United States and other countries, such as Britain and Israel don’t have CIA type operatives in Iran fueling the flames of discontent. If you don’t think the CIA is involved in some way shape or form, you’re nuts!
This government has the same penalty for what it considers acts of treason, and so does Iran. Difference is, their laws are based differently than ours. However, treason is still treason…and the Iranians know just what their form of “treason” encompasses.
