Unfortunatly, I have been unable to visit the site recently, and missed a debate on what the Iranian president said.
Apparently, there has been much discussion. However, it appears most of what people said are words against Iran comdeming it for what it said.
Being an Iranian, and one of only two subscribers, and perhaps the only one who regularly posts in the forums, I believe I ought to speak up and give my veiws on this matter. I believe my veiws will be, perhaps not better, but slightly more informed, because I get information from both sides of the debates.
First of all, I will address the statement by President Ahmadejad. He stated that Isreal should be "wiped off the map" and "shouldn't exist".
What he said was wrong. Period. However, there are some things I would like to say on this issue.
Just because he of his own mind said this, means nothing about the will of the people. In fact, the blogging sites for Iranians that I have visited have all been angry with the President (who, in my opinion, cheated the people to become president and some things may have been rigged. But that's a different matter). I hope that it is not taken by Isrealis and Americans that the people of Iran agree with the president ( quite to the contrary, most of them dissaprove of it). However, it appears that people have taken it as such and some plans for war are already being laid out.
Also, his saying of forcing Islam on the world, that was also stupid and unnecessary. I mean, I'm an Iranian, and yet I'm an atheist and would hate to be forced into a religion. Speaking of which, Iran is not an Arab state. Iranians in fact don't get along very well with Arabs. We, from the peoples veiw, don't support any country or person over anyone else.
Well, that's my two cents, anyway.

Originally posted by abejnoodThe president of your original country seems amazingly similar to the president in charge of the country in which you live now.

If I ever met the president of Iran and he told me his wishes, the first matter that would come to my mind would be: "Yeah...I remember you rushing to help the Palestinian refugees."
The hypocrisy of the Iranian government is astounding. Not to mention many other Arab nations when it comes to their views on the Palestinian issue.
Don't get me wrong though, Israel is a problem. It is a problem of our own making and our (our = 'the West's = 'the US's) reluctance to enforce the UN resolutions hanging over Israel's head only makes matters worse and certainly flames the fires of hatred.
Using "weapons of mass destruction" and "the disobeying of UN security council resolutions" as arguments for invading Iraq, yet not invading Israel is a hypocrisy far outreaching that of the Iranian president's.
Although one could argue that the invasion of Iraq was not based on hypocrisy, but on lies.

Originally posted by abejnoodI am astounded and ashamed. Ashamed of the American school system. I can't even type English as well as you can. Geeez! 99% of the people on this board that SPEAK English can't express a point as well as you do. Dammit!

Ok, not to hijack your thread, but did you grow up in Iran? And how the hell did you learn English so well?
Originally posted by abejnoodLook what is happening .... Ragnorak states a falsehood and you repeat it. I didn't advocate an invasion in Iran. I never did. I'm going to ask you the same thing I asked Ragnorak. Please post a link where I advocated such a thing, otherwise please retract your statement.
