America\nBoth of them is agressive and threatening world peace.\nHowever, America has will and means to make it real. \nActually, it is already making it. It is not Iran that is in war today.

Iran is rebellious and cool. Yes the president is a bit "different", but so what? If Iran want to make nuclear and chemical weapons So What? The only people that are making a big deal about this are the americans. You don't see any body else moaning about it. 8 other countries are also creating nuclear and chemical weapons, and they could be just as much of a threat as Iran, but you don't see the americans picking on them do you? \n\nThe American government should leave Iran alone, they have done nothing wrong, no terrorist actions have been done by them, they haven't bombed anywhere so, what is the big deal. What are the americans so scared of? They have the biggest and most powerful weapons in the whole wide world. So what's with all the fuss. And also The americans wouldn't dare invade Iran! It would cause world war three, since russia and china are there alles (iran). so it would be too much of a big risk. Iran is an amazing country, yea sure it has it's problems, but what country in this world doesn't. The american government are giving there lovely and amazing country a bad name, making most people in europe and other places dislike them. \n\nAs an Iranian myself, I can say that Iran is a regular country, just like china, russia, india ...etc (they are also making chemical weapons). I wish people and governments in this world could live in peace and happiness, but i guess I'm asking for the impossible, considering most people's attitudes.

Iran's policy isn't just against the U.S. of A., it is against the world.  The jerk that is pres. of Iran believes he is the one destine to bring about the coming of the Muladin (the one who will come at the end of time).  But in order to achieve this, the world must be thrown into total chaos.  By the By, the big M is supposed to be living in a well in Iran.  If he is that powerful, you would think he could afford better accommodations.  The Pres. of Iran is just another Hitler wannabe.

Not really.  Though the president of Iran was one of the terrorists that kidnapped and held American hostages, that is about as far as the link goes.

US is afraid. Basically, the US is a big bully that likes to butt into other people's buisness. They ensure that no one in the world has the same nuclear weapons as they do. If they suspect that you may be attempting to invent weapons... they will attack you. Simple as that. They are afraid that someone will get a bigger military...or have better weapons and defeat them. \n\nThey like to keep people scared so that they can get better deals. If you had an oil well and the US set a military base right outside it and woudln't let your oil pass unless you agreed with all their terms and conditions...what would they be??? This is ACTUALLY happening.

This question is too general.  If someone asked "Do you believe Americans are terrorists ?" and the only Americans you knew of, in depth, were Timothy McVeigh or Ted Kaczynski, your logical answer would be "Yes".\n\nIranians, as in *the Iranian people*, are not terrorists.  The country of Iran most likely harbors Iranian citizens who are terrorists, as most countries in the world harbor citizens who are terrorists.\n\nIs Iran a terrorist state ? (i.e. the government sanctions terrorists and acts of terrorism) Maybe, maybe not. It depends on how you define "acts of terrorism".  In the Middle East and throughout the world, many people feel that the U.S.'s invasion of Iraq was an act of terrorism, especially as 30,000 Iraqi citizens have been killed since the commencement of hostilities in March 2003. Does that make the U.S. a "terrorist state" ? To many people, Yes.

Iran has been a threat since 1979.  Ayatollah Khomeini himself called the USA the great Satan.  That in itself does not constitute a military threat but it deos indicate that they really do not like the USA nor any of the Western world.

As an Iranian I'm so ashamed on some treatments of my homeland government, but I hope at least one from White House read my message, suppose Brazil have the "Nuclear Knowledge" and US have not. What you will to do? This is the right of any country to increase its peaceful knowledge. Why in the middle east Israel, India, Pakistan have this technology? Which country has used the Nuclear Bomb? Iran.....? or ... World will not forget murders at Japan, Vietnam, Iraq, and so on... \nBut what I want to say, all American people, you must know, Iranians are opposed to crimes, it is ponderable in events of Iran history.\nHoping Mr. President Bush considers the various aspects of the task as more possible.

Bush is an idiot, but Iran is a threat. Why Irans leader would put his whole country in jeapordy is just dumb. The US would destroy Iran and not even feel a scratch. Noone is that niave to think that any country right now could invade the US, so this means all wars are fought on their soil.. dumb moves.

they ain't gonna. u.s. is hypocrits. they worry about iran while we are sitting on our tons and tons of nuclear arsenal.
590462
Not at all.. I think that we have become even more prone to wars and terrorism. And the end result being that the US trying to decide wether or not to nuke iran.

This is one of the things that is such as problem. Israel and Iran and other countries primarily get their material from within their boarders so they dont have anyrestrictions, this is one of the reasons that the United States is so scared about theocracies such as Iran could do to us.

Neither. I am more afraid of the Bush Administration and the joint chiefs of staff.

America isnt worried about him attacking another country, the government is worried about him giving nuclear weapons and/or technology to Iran, which will attack another country, or giving it to a terrorist group.  Although i do agree with you that the press turned it into "the world is about to end" coverage.

Iran is basically a weak country militarily speaking. But it could be a major pain in the ass handled wrong. Their military is basically jury rigged. But it is better than anytime since the Shah's fall. And they are the worlds number one supporter of terrorism. So take your pick. Power is half might, and half strategy.

Yes I am somewhat worried that our war leaders (the administration) don't have any restraints on them and don't seem to care about re-election or what anyone thinks of them.  They are also unaccountable and in my opinion at least partially insane.  Maybe it's an act to scare the Iranians, but maybe not.  I'm afraid this adminstration just does what it pleases which amounts to damn the public, damn the country, and damn the world, we are in power and there is nothing you are going to do to stop us.  That is the scariest thing I have ever seen in any political leadership in the West for my entire life.

This is merely opinion.\n\nI don't think the majority of the American people have a problem with the majority of the Iranian people.  However, there is a small minority of people in Iran that seem to be intent on the destruction of the United States.  Some of those people are now in power in Iran.\n\nYou ask why we think Iran is more dangerous?  Probably because those other countries' leaders have not openly called the United States "The Great Satan".  Probably because those countries aren't broadcasting constant anti-American propaganda.  \n\nWe have no problem with the people of Iran.  But we do have a problem with fanatic people in ANY nation who would illogically choose to use nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction because we choose not to follow Islam.  \n\nAnd, why is there so much fervor over a silly cartoon?  Yes, I agree that the cartoon profanes your prophet - peace be upon him, and I think it was in poor taste for them to do that.  But I've had people profane my God every day on here, and in the media.  I don't like it, but I'm not about to demonstrate and/or demand that they die or anything like that.\n\nIf leaders of Islam would demonstrate some tolerance and love towards America, we might see Islam in the light that your Prophet - peace be upon him - wanted the world to see.
