What do you think about Iran?

The Iranians I have met have been very friendly and good people. Unfortunately, they are ruled by evil mullahs preaching hate. They are oppressed by the evil theocracy that took over after the Shah was deposed, and suffer without freedom or liberty.\n\nBut, except for some of us, nobody - not the UN, not the EU not the Democrats - give a rat's tail about the people of Iran. They're too busy hating Bush, hating Israel and hating the USA to actually care about anybody.

I have known Iranians in the past. They were all very nice and good people who became terribly upset when the Shah was deposed and the ayatollah came to power. One was in the US on a student visa and he was afraid the mad mullahs would either imprison him or force him into their war against Iraq if he ever returned.\n\nThe people of Iran deserve much better than the tyranny of the jihadists and false preachers they are currently suffering under.

I've been there several times. Its an interesting place with loads of history, lovely scenery and pleasant, friendly people. \n\nRight now I wish those pleasant and friendly people would start questioning whether they are being well led. It would be a tragedy for a country with the legacy of Persia to become the next tragic victim of the World's bully, George Bush. But that's the way you're going and it is going to be very nasty. \n\nPlease, do what you can to make your own leaders act a little more reasonably! This has to be a two-way thing.

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.

Being that i think that Iran is being fueled by satan, i believe that they will continue to rant and rave, and pretend to be powerful when they are weak, and will build their terrorist army, and their bombs, and do all they can to destroy Israel.  I believe that unless the world does something to stop this it will continue.  I believe that in any eventuality it will not be an end to terrorism or the jihad against Israel.  Remember the muslim state of Pakistan is already a nuclear state, and they too have terrorists. Iraq is in Chaos and unstable, what leaders that will generate is yet to be seen.  Iran is a threat to the region but not as much to the US except by economic means of crude oil control.  Unless there is a change of heart in the minds and hearts of the muslim people the problem will cascade into nuclear terrorism, probably sooner than many think.  \n\n-LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF

I sympathize with your country's situation. But you have to understand that you have been taken control under a theocracy that is ruled by an anti-semitic radical muslim. We can't trust Iran's word to say that they will only use it for nuclear power giving the history of disagreement with Israel. Ahmanidejad has said he will blow up Israel and he doens't believe the Holocaust ever happened. The Iran-Iraq war was horrible and innocent lives were lost. The U.S. at that time did help Saddam because we viewed Iran as a bigger threat. I apologize on my country's behalf. But we were nervous of a potential Middle East crisis and we tried to salvage it. It's because of this history that we can't trust Ahmanidejad because we can't run the risk of him blowing up Israel or take over a weak Iraq. If this occurs, it will expand the war in the Middle East and possibly create a WWIII which will hurt everybody. This is why we don't support nuclear development in Iran. If you can guarantee us that Iran won't blow up Israel then who knows? Until then, try to see this from our point of view.

I would think so.  If you look at Iraq & Afgahnistan both occupied - you will see the two major borders of Iran.  I say that Iran was the main objective all along.  I also believe that this needs to be done.  Iran is bulding nuclear weapons under peoples lives in the city and openly telling the whole world that it is to be used on us and our allies.  They are not looking for peace - they are looking to settle their anger.  Iran isn't the beautiful country it use to be back before 79.  It is a place ran by crookit people who have had too much power placed in their hands and over power the rest.  It is a country that has a population of 75% under the age of thirty who also want us to go in.  Anyone of the country that has spoken against the government have been killed or hurt.  People live under constant fear - and that is the truth. Some act as though they are fine about living that way, but those are the first of ignorence.  They are usaully the ones that came against the Shah - and deep inside live with the regrets.  Yes - the time has come.

I am an iranian...here everybody thinks that iran`s nuclear activity is peaceful at least this is what the governers say...i wonder if iran has the technology to make nuclear weapons but i dont believe that they can make atomic bombs! \n\nbut believe me iranians are not those kind of people to attack a country or sth...all iranians are kind people and we love living in peace because we have suffered a deadly war before and here nobody likes to see a new war!!!

Most Americans don't have an informed opinion about Iran or Iranians. Most don't even know where to find Iran on a map. The various manipulators of opinion in this country are quite careful to keep it that way. The President and his government, the neo-cons and the religious right prefer that "American Opinion" reflect what they wish it to reflect.

I prefer an iranian girl...\n\nIran should be an Interesting place to visit, if it was more politically stable. Persian History is very rich (by the way don't confuse Iranians with Arabs)\n\nUnfortunally their leaders have very dangerous ideas...

Maryam,\n\nI think more people do realize that media coverage is not as objective as it should be.  I experienced this myself many times.\n\nOne of the biggest problems in our global society is the hidden agenda of the people that have power in America...  Find it disgusting what they do with the world.  Just like during the roman empire 'divide et impera' (divide and rule).\n\nYou are not alone in your feelings... many other groups, nations, religions have similar impression about the rest of the world.\n\nDo not make the same mistake... asking the question you ask you proved that even you are not aware of the truth, you do not realize what other people think about Iran.\n\nSo keep informed and set your mind free of all 'pre-judgment'

i think that the average American does not have a problem with Iranian people. The government however has a bad history. I think its best for the entire world if they left nuclear evolution alone.......
