Why do you people dont realize the truth about Iran?

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'

Wow, kucitizenx! You aren't really that naive, are you? When has Iran EVER told the truth in the past? I'm happy to have a president that doesn't sell nuclear secrets to people who hate America, like the last president we had.\n\nAs to the actual question posed, I don't think there is a true diplomatic solution. They talk, they don't talk, they argue until they're blue in the face, but nobody ever resolves things. The people who talk aren't the ones who suffer. Diplomatic is just another word for aristocratic, isn't it?

Iran's president IS nuts, basically. He's spouting nonsense for internal consumption and hasn't completely understood yet that the international media picks it up and runs with it. Iran may or may not really be nuclear capable, but the ayatollahs who really run the country want their populace to think so. In any case, don't bomb them...yet.

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.

With all due respect , sgt_k is a total idiot  , learn how to respect others' opinion then start talking ... \n\nback to the topic , well, yes, i agree with yunussh ... for the following reasons : \n\n1- we have known what is the meaning of being told by america that somebody or a country is having a mass destruction weapons , it's a big lie like what happened in iraq , but iran would never let america do the same thing , simply iran can make what the american would never expect. \n\n2- we know that israel has a nuclear power , it threats all the muslims around it , who knows if they haven't already invent a bomb with a short range of action that , for example , can destroy egypt without affecting israel itself? , that's why , countries near israel has the right to defend themselves in the way they can , you can't stop iran unless you assure the whole world is having nothing called nuclear power. \n\n3- america is doing all that because of israel , techniquely speaking , iran can't threat amecrica in a way or another ! they are thousands of kilos far away ,but when it is about israel , yes america can do any idiot step for the sake of israel , why ? because isreal , 10 million people , is controlling every single step america is doing , shame on you american !\n\nfinally , don't ever dream that what happened to iraq will repeat itself ,,, american soldiers themselves won't accept a new war and now they know that a muslim can really be happy to die when it's about making strangers out of his country ,, leave us alone , or u never be in peace ...\n\n\ngourge bush or any other president , american will never elect a president who hates israel , that's why we never expcet a good thing from you , america .. \n\n\nnow , was it convincing?

I find it amusing to see that people are still in denial over the WMDs we found.\n\nI guess that if they pretend we did not find them they can change the truth.

Hizbullah is Iran's secretly (not really so secret) funded army. And I am not surprised at this attempt. If we continue to demonstrate that we have the stones to stick this fight through to the finish, they will lose ground. They (Iran and Syria) are known for their double-speak, loudly and globally proclaiming how America is bullying the middle east, yet at home and speaking to their citizens declaring a terrorist war on ALL of the western civilisations. No surprises here.

now .. haven't you opened a can of worms ?!?!?!?\nit is a tough one, mainly because NO ONE can say whether or not there's actually a military (bomb-making) aspect to the "nuclear ambition". \nConstruction of the nuclear power plants in Iran started many years ago, long before the mullahs came to power ... so it's not as if this is something new that the current regime has suddenly come up with. In that sense, and since there is no "proof" of any malicious ;) activity, I personally don't see why not complete power plants on which millions and millions have been spent already. But then again : is there an atomic bomb hiding behind the facade? I don't know ... you don't know ... Bush doesn't know ... the IAEA doesn't know. To be fair, I would say all "countries" are "innocent" unless PROVEN otherwise.

do not belive every thing you see in media.\nthis report was published in the "national post" newspaper.\n\nin the evening it was denied by iran government and lastly they had to call one of jew members of iranian parliamant and he laughed at this report and said " this is an insult to iranian jews and report is absoulte lie."\n\nyahoo news wanted to publish the report and they did but when the denial came from jewsih member of parliament they removed it from the yahoo news.\n\nok,see a bigger picture,iran is under a bombardment of propaganda and americans are spending billions. the only counterattack to it is by being calm and making sure media is not brainwashing you.\nremember that jews are hated by arabs .and iranian president is trying to relieve the pressure from arab world agaisnt iran by joining them in their anti israel rethoric.\nother wise iran will be hated by arabs and attacked by america in the same time!!!!

They don't "think" it.  Some people are just getting around to admitting it.\n\nOh and if you need examples, let us see:\nA botched war on terror\nexploding debt\n"And Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job"\n"This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous. And having said that, all options are on the table."\n"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"

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!!!

these are not 'bush claims'.  rather they are boasts from the iranian government itself, and reports/warnings from the IAEA.

This question is too simplistic. If you consider the USA and Iran to be modern states then you have to expect 2 different answers from the people that belong to that "Modern State"

You are a smart cookie!  Our fiasco in Iraq has given Iran the guts they needed to challenge the US.  After seeing how we're getting our asses kicked by a ragtag bunch of jihadists, they figured it was time to kick some sand in the bully's face.  And yes, anybody who's been paying attention knows that Saddam didn't want to admit he didn't have WMDs because he didn't want to appear weak to the Iranians.  Just another example of how stupid and self-absorbed some Americans can be.  We stumble into areas of the world where we don't have the first clue what's going on.
