These pro - american Iranians must be the same good friends of democracy pumping money and technical knowledge to the insurgents in iraq so they can kill americans...

Well, I guess my whole post just went over your head... you understood nothing of what I said and I'm not surprised. It's typical though, not knowing friend from foe is not only your failure it's the operative policy these days which is making more enemies every day. The ones who died in that crash are not the ones making trouble who you "should" have a problem with as I do. Your ignorance is exactly the same as those on the other side who aim to kill civilian Americans who have no clue about why they're being killed. YOU sound no differrent than they do, they also rejoice at the loss of innocent life while blaming them for something others have done only because they're too ignorant to be able to tell the diff. as you are.

By the way, I'm not sure which is worse... being a troll after 136 posts or one?!!!

Good post & welcome to the boards.

As perspective remember that 20% of Americans have passports & most get their news from the major networks/outlets. It's just easier to repeat the 3 second sound bites we're bombarded by

Most of the [younger] Iranians I know do not support the current govt. and say it's a matter of time before the Mullahs are toppled. From what I've seen, Iranians are more progressive than most expect.

Cheers -

It’s just too bad that Jimmy Caatah wasn’t riding the jumpseat!

I respectfullly, but vehemently disagree. Jimmy Carter is a good, decent human being. Just because he was an inept administrator should not mean we wish ill on him. In a contest of Bill Clinton versus Jimmy Carter, I think it is very little doubt which one I'd like to see in Iran for a good long time.
