War with Iran would effectively completely destroy any chance of democratic and reformist changes in the country.

We've fucked up their attempts at democracy in the past, it led us to here....do we really want to do it again?

Thats not praise, I think his record is horrible, but it is the truth.


Really? Cause I've read that he isn't much of a reader and that most of his decisions are based on the opinions of a very select few.

f*ck, this thread spiraled quickly into PDD spin-off.

from Lee Bollinger's statement to Ahmadinejad:

Source: http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/hourlyupdate/202820.php

on so called freedom and democracy:

quote:

Iran hanged up 30 people this past July and August during a widely reported suppression of efforts to establish a more democratic society. Many of these executions were carried out in public view, a violation of the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights, to which Iran is a party. These executions and others have coincided with a wider crackdown on student activists and academics accused of trying to foment a so-called "soft revolution." This has included jailing and forced retirement of scholars. As Dr. Esfandiari said in a broadcast interview since her release, she was held in solitary confinement for 105 days because the government believes that the United States is planning a velvet revolution in Iran.



just one of the shades of sh!t. anywho. if I wanted a pdd-like discussion, I'd visit pdd. done with this thread, draw your own conclusions.

(p.s. yes, victory is yours. have a cookie - on me)

They release his book list every month, and he is reported to have tried to read as much as Rove, although Rove usually wins since he is a voracious reader.

Whether or not he understands or takes anything important from these books, is another story...also, the second part of your sentence is entirely correct.

Do you even know that most Iranians love the United States, unlike citizens of other countries like Saudi Arabia? Do you even know Iran held a vigil for the victims of 9/11?


Thank you. Sadly, that public respect for the US is starting to slip. It seems the Iranian people grow tired of being slandered by Western media.

And emc, if you want to talk about the destabilization of the Middle East, look no further than the residents at my location:

I have a seriously hard time believing that Bush understands a word of Camus, who is brilliant.

And is anyone else concerned that the President of the United States has more free time for reading literature than a lowly graduate student does?

I just think it's absolute bullshit we didn't let the Iranian President place a wreathe at the Ground-Zero sight. Give me a fucking break.

Well, didn't you know? He was the mastermind behind 9/11! It would simply be insensitive to let him honor the people he killed.

For now, thankfully.

Someone let me know exactly what "free" is supposed to mean though. Is it "free" in the same way we are "free" to only ingest substances the government decides? Or "free" in the same way we are only allowed to say and do things deemed acceptable by the monkey over-culture?

This is what drives me nuts!!! Who decided Iran is the be-all, end-all of evil? Sure, their regime sucks. Oppression is widespread. As it is in Belarus, where all political affiliation is banned and any ethnic enclaves in the country are brutally oppressed. As it is in North Korea, where starvation is used as a tool of the government. As it is in Sudan, where the regime carries out the systematic extermination of an entire region of people. As it is in Saudi Arabia, where laws regarding women and social rights are far more archaic than in Iran. As it is in Burma, where a brutal military junta is even today considering violence as a means of putting down civil discourse among religious monks. As it is in China, where the Uigher population is denied political affiliation or the right to upward mobility. As it is in Israel/Palestine, where women and children live in fear of Israeli tanks and helicopters or madmen with bombs strapped to their chests. As it is in Iraq, where private US military contractors gun down civilians. As it is in Zimbabwe, where the economy has ground to a halt due to government mismanagement. As it is in Mali, where US gunships are aiding a corrupt government in the persecution of nomadic tribesman who have formed a secession movement. As it is in the DRC, where paramilitary organizations with little compassion for human life maintain more control over regions of the country than the government in Kinshasha. As it is in Chad, where abundant oil revenue only pads the coffers of the elite few.

Oppression is everywhere, so don't for a minute act like Ahmadinejad (which, by the way, is easy enough to spell if you want to be taken seriously on the issue) has a freaking monopoly on evil in this world. Where is the talk of invading Zimbabwe to take down Mugabe? Sudan to take down Bashir? You are so selective of your target that it screams discrimination on some basis. Why, because Iran has oil? So does Sudan. Why, because Iran may be pursuing nuclear weapons? Pakistan and North Korea already have them, and they oppress their people sometimes to an even greater extent. Why, because Iran's human rights violations are particularly aggregious? Sadly, they aren't. Why, because the Iranian government presides over the persecution of groups of people? They do, but to a far lesser extent than in Zimbabwe, Sudan, Belarus, etc.

Iran has far greater good governance than a wide swath of the world. That may be hard for you to digest, but by most indicators it is true. There is relative stability, economic security for the wide majority of the population, freedom of expression for a growing number, and a growing moderate political base. Sure there are religious zealots with control over the country still. But that control is inexorably linked to their ability to show the Iranian people that they are needed to combat the US. And when we shout "death to Iran" in their faces we are playing right into their hands, establishing them as a necessary vigilant institution safeguarding Iranian security. So stop it.

Bottom line:
Give me a reasoned, ordered, logical explanation for why any free country should launch a preemptive war against Iran and I will listen to you. But stop with the "he's bad so he's evil so we should kill him routine," because if I wanted to hear logic so dimwitted, I would listen to the fundamentalist mullahs calling for Death to America. Same logic.



Best fuckin reply regarding this issue that I have seen in the longest time.

It is good to see there are some people out there who can distinguish between good and evil and are open minded and dont judge based what they are being told.

cheers

The House is doing fine - they overturned a veto the other day. The Senate, on the other hand, are a bunch of hypocrites. What good is having a majority when they refuse to stand up to the minority on even a single occasion regarding Iraq? Instead, we get a non-binding resolution passed with bipartisan support and a binding resolution on Iran paving the way for a military intervention. It's been a dreadful two weeks in DC.

I've seen some horribly offensive O'rielly interviews, but this guy has taken the cake with just one:

Hopefully, FOX is the first network to have a snuff gameshow, so I can vote for this guy to have his head removed.

Critics of the Bush administration do themselves a disservice with the Stalin and Hitler comparisons. It would be better to keep the focus on the specific things that the administration is doing rather than trying to fit their criticisms into a "fascism blueprint," since all the conservatives tend to just wave that away as hyperbole (and which is enough to convince many people that liberals are nutty).


Posted by MrJiveBoJingles on Nov-25-2007 06:25:

Making those comparisons lets the conservatives turn the focus of the debate away from current abuses to mostly irrelevant questions about the historical accuracy of the analogies made, which is exactly what happened in the clip.
