If we want to set them back indefinitely, we need to hit the oil pumping and oil loading equipment at the ports, and the pipelines. Iran has no other revenue but oil. If they can’t ship oil out, they can’t sell it, and their revenue dries up. Without revenue they can’t replace enrichment facilities or continue very far with any part of their nuclear programs.

Both of these targets don’t really require declaring war on Iran, killing a lot of Iranians, or sending any troops to occupy Iran, or invade it in any way.

A more permanent solution would require that we destroy radars, missile sites, the Revolutionary Guard, and the Quds Force, and certain units of the Army and Air Force. If Iran is defenseless, all sorts of good things can happen including a revolution by the people that throws out the Ayatollahs and their lackeys like Dr. Ahmedinajad. Iran could be invaded and taken over by a nation that bears no ill-will to the USA and doesn’t want to build a nuclear bomb there and blow up NYC or Tel Aviv. Iran could devolve into into a very primitive area like Afghanistan, or Somalia, or Chad, or Sudan, or Yemen — none of which pose significant threats to the USA.

The only thing that’s a threat is a rich prosperous Iran with lots of revenue that’s using that money to build a nuclear bomb to blow up innocent civilians in USA or Israel. That is a threat.

Do you feel in your own opinion that any nation will respond to that threat?

When do you think they would do that?

If military force is used, what should be targeted?

LINKS between Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and al-Qaeda have emerged after the interception of a letter from the terrorist group’s leadership which hails Tehran’s support for a recent attack on the US embassy in Yemen that killed 16 people.

The letter exposed the growing role of Saad bin Laden, the son of Osama, the al-Qaeda leader, as an intermediary between the organisation and Iran. Saad bin Laden, 29, has been living, apparently under house arrest, in Iran since the fall of the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001.

Some people think women don’t have any rights in Iran! What would you tell me if I tell you that women are now overtaking Iran? They’re treated very well, most of the times they’re the winners in most cases: They get into the best universities.They get the best jobs.They’ve got rights that have made it difficult for men to marry them, because husbands buy them expensive things and treat them very well, otherwise women will have the right to ask them a great amount of money which most husbands cannot afford. (so, they can simply sit in the corner of prison! lol).The only thing that women are not allowed to do in Iran is getting into public football stadiums and that’s just because IN IRAN, such places are usually full of cheeky guys who would cheek girls.I don’t think girls would go there, even if they’re allowed to do so.As far as I know, not many girls in Iran are interested in football!

Another funny thing: Your footage about stoning the women who have committed adultery.Have you ever asked yourself they relate to how many years ago?Just for your information, those are from Afghanistan which was once ruled by those freaks (Taliban).I find it difficult to make you understand that Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan are SEPERATE COUNTRIES! and that we’re Persian and some Turkish not Arab! And I find it even more difficult to make you understand that Iran is a normal country like any other countries in the world.There’s nothing mysterious about it!(The media is very good at making scary titles: BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS!!! IRAN UNDERCOVER!!! This would be enough to scare people away! Iranians are much more educated, intelligent and open-minded than what you think!!! I’m sure you don’t know that there are lots and lots of Iranian geniouses and scientists that are all under 25.You don’t hear about their discoveries and inventions on TV. A small example is this 17 year old boy who’s invented 72 amazing inventions.You don’t know that Iranian students and sportsmen are winning gold and silver medals in different compotitions in the world all the time such as robotics, biology, maths, physics, sports, anything! Why don’t the media talk about them?Did you know that the countries having the highest number of scientists in the world are in this order? 1-India 2-Korea 3-Iran

A few weeks ago Iran uncovered the most effective anti-H.I.V medicine and now it’s signing treaties with other countries to export it.I digged the news on the internet, but there was no single sign of that.What I found instead? “President Bush CLAIMS that bomb parts are imported from Iran into Iraq!” The media are injustice.They’d put CLAIMS on the headlines, but they would never talk about facts! Some interesting facts:
Iran is the pionier in medicine and genetics and Iranian surgens have found lots of new methods for treating spinal defects and many other diseases (mainly the treatment for different types of cancer) and the the best brain and heart surgens are Iranian surgens.The head of Mars Mission in NASA is Iranian.One of the best designer of sports cars working in Germany is Iranian.Some of the best 3D animators are Iranian.Iran is one of the best countries in counter-engineering.Holds the second place in building dams.The 4th highest tower (Milad tower) in the world is in Tehran (which you can visit in the second link).The champion weight-lifter is Iranian.The woman, and a song by one of the pop singers who/which won the nobel peace prize are Iranians.It’d be the only country that has all 4 seasons during the year simoltaneously.It means that while it’s winter in one part of it, it may be summer / spring in another part! And as you all know, Iranian girls are famous for being terrific.Persian rug and Persian literature, many Persian poets and scientists that are so famous.Persian culture is now westernised and only a little has survived! According to statistics Tehran is the cheapest capital city in the world for foriegners with Dollars of course not for us! (Cos our rate is different: one Dollar=about 950 Tomans!) Who do you think is building Dubi?Arabs?No my friends, Iranian architectures, engineers and traders funding them, cos they don’t think building the same things in Iran would be beneficial for them, Since the media scare tourists away from Iran.There are many other things.And also, Iran is a very independant country.It has nearly all the developed industries and technologies and doesn’t need other countries to survive! That’s why the unfair U.N sanctions don’t bother us! The list is endless.
Some charactristics of Iranians would be: Proud, greedy, hard-working, intelligent, ambitious, not realistic, not so religious, not so generous, not punctual, impatient, well-dressed, formal, well-educated, warm and friendly and hospitable.

Some people think, Iran’s a desert! Iran’s a modern country with very beautiful nature and lots of historical places to visit.Please take a look at the following links and see if Iran looks like what you think or not! (Surely it doesn’t!)

It’s now 2007 and people still think we are uneducated people living in deserts, riding camels and carrying around guns!!!!
See how the media are fooling people? None of the things you hear on the media about Iran are true.If you think I’ve been admiring Iran too much, that’s because you’d do the same thing if you were looked down nearly everyday for some false reasons.

I think it’s better to clarify some political issues as well:
Some of the Americans I chatted with, said in the U.S it’s said that president Ahmadinejad hates the U.S and Israel and wants to nuke them!! The media are good at putting comments.It’s easy to show a video or an image of our president or leader on the T.V screen or on the internet and say he says this, he says that…..I really don’t get the point why our politicians defame themselves by talking about things that have got nothing to do with us.For example does verbal defence of Palestinians cause them to have a better life?The thing is that they occasionally make some statements that the media would misuse it agaisnt Iran. like picking up some specific sensitive phrases from among a long speech (without reffering to the main points and reasons for that speech) and putting so many bad comments on that.No sane person would take it serious.

First of all, Iranians don’t hate anyone.If our government complains about some injustice going on in the world, it’s not bad.Is it? We hate neither Jews nor Americans.They’re both nice people.If their media are fooling them, it’s not their fault.If I were in their shoes, I would hate Iran too regarding all the terrible lies they keep hearing about it nearly everyday.Although ordinary Iranians don’t care about world affairs, I’ve got to say that for us Israel is not equal to Jews! Israel is a govt.Jews are faithful people! A few of them live here in our neighbourhood and they live just like the rest of Iranians.No difference.And two of Iran’s parliment members are Jews. Who says we want to force the others to convert to Islam?Have you ever found a Muslem knocking at your door asking you to do so?That’s so funny. Christians and Jews are both God believers and respectful to us.I wonder why the media like putting words in our mouth and raising hatred.In Iran, religion would be the least important thing. It means that where you come from and what your religion is, are not important to us at all.And I wonder why some Muslem countries think there’s a problem between Shiites and Sunnies. It doesn’t make sense in Iran.

I wonder Iran is a threat to whom? How is it possible for Iran to nuke somewhere while it doesn’t have any nukes?!!!(The media have never been intelligent liars).Has Iran ever attacked any countries?There’s no proof on that.That’s even what nuclear agency says.Only Iran’s oppositions are pulling Iran’s leg.What we’re doing is legal.What they ask us to do (ignoring our international rights) is illegal and nonsense.

Some say he said: Israel should be wiped off the map! But have they told you the rest of his speech and that why he’s said this at all? If you know a little literature, you know that it’s a passive sentence.He’s never said that IRAN wants to wipe Israel off the map! And he wasn’t talking about destroying Israel.He was talking about relocating Israel, so that they could live seperate from Palestinians and they both could live in peace.They’ve only told you this phrase not the rest of it and it’s mistranslated deliberitely.Iran’s always defended itself, but it’s not an offensive country.While some countries which have nukes are clearly threatening Iran to nuke her! Good, isn’t it?

Some say he’s said: Holocaust is a myth! again this is a single phrase from among a long speech and there are totally logical reasons for saying so.If 6000000 Jews were killed, that’s so terrible, but those 300000 Shiite Moslems killed by Saddam aren’t important at all! Over 650000 Iraqi people are killed and it’s not important! When Fox News simply says: America and Israel are capable of destroying and killing all Iran’s 690000000 population, it’s OK and no one says they’re threatening other countries to nuke them (I saw this with my own eyes on the Fox News website) Millions of people killed in Afghanistan, Hiroshima & Nakazaki and vietnam war are not considered human beings at all! Now I think you’d get the point why he’s IRONICALLY said it’s a mith.Moreover, don’t you believe in freedom of speech/mind?

Obviousely, some countries are using Iran as a victim to put the blame (their own faults) on Iran.And which country is better than Iran to be a victim?They’ve made the whole world believe that Iran isn’t a peaceful country and represent false image of Iranians by making insulting movies like “300″ . I know Americans don’t like these either, but what can they do?The media are so biased.I hope someday the media would end all this instead of playing a negative role in the world.

Thanks.

Accoridng to this BBC report Iranian Army is in such bad shape that Arabs alone, without USA and Israeli support can win war with Iran.
