Iran: some bg information

In order to completely understand the situation in Iran, first you must acknowledge that it isn't a black on white problem and there are many layers of complexity that range from political, cultural, economical, and religious. Therefore it makes it very difficult to make any conclusive decisions or judgments.

Iran has been around for thousands of years so it's difficult when people expect you to explain everything to them in a matter of minutes. I always ask them, how do you expect me to summarize thousands of years of history into 5 minutes? But more importantly, how do you expect to truly understand the situation based on a contortion of reality? Therefore, I urge everyone to do as much researching and reading as possible. If you don't know where to start I'll be more than happy to point you in the right direction.

Even though Iran is a Muslim country now, it wasn't that long ago that Zoroastrianism was the prevailing religion. To this day you can still see the influences of Zoroastrianism on the daily lives of Iranians. After the Islamic Revolution many stayed in Iran and converted to Islam, but many chose to flee the country in order to have freedom of religion.

That being said, most Iranians are extremely proud of their culture and heritage and will invest a lot of time learning more amount it. Remember that 60% of Iran's population is under the age of 30 and the youth have an insatiable yearning for change and justice. Since 1979, Iranians have been waiting for a revolution, a real change, a real democracy, an uncorrupted government working for the people. So for Iranians this revolution has been in the making for some years now, the country has been in a state of revolution since the Shah was overthrown by American and British interests. Besides, most of the people that supported Khomeini are either dead or really old, the time has finally come for the next generation to take over and they refuse to continue with the current regime.

Unfortunately, those factions in the world that were involved in 1979 are still around today. These are some of the people that were behind the scenes during the Bush administration and that implemented those policies to go into Afghanistan and then Iraq. Even though Bush is no longer president this faction still exist and they have stayed true to their course. Their plan has always been to attack Iran and/or North Korea. Many people as me why? That's not the issue here. The real concern should be how are we going to stop these guys from pursuing their agenda? Right now their goal is to start a civil war in Iran. And they're going to use different tactics to reach their goal. They have 2 cards they can play to go into Iran: one is oil and the other is nuclear. Just like for Iraq, they're going to play on people's fear. The propaganda has already started, for example take the ad playing on CNN sponsered by United Against Nuclear Iran. That's just one of the subtle ways to start convincing Americans that they should invade Iran just like they did Iraq. And we all remember how well that turned out for Americans. Besides, these people firmly believe that Americans are stupid and easily controlled. Heck they fell for our trick to go into Iraq, what's to say they won't fall for the same trick again? THIS IS THE REAL ISSUE AT HAND. This is why we must not let violence take the upper hand in this situation. I would like to congratulate President Obama on his speech and thank him for being so wise towards the situation. He understands that the fanatical faction in Iran wants nothing more than the US to get involved. What would anyone gain from another Iraq? We must learn from the lessons of history and not let events like Tienanmen square be forgotten.

Like I said before, start paying more attention to the propaganda that's going to start on local news, CNN, BBC ... all these medias are owned by the people that own the USA. Don't get me wrong, there are good factions inside the US trying to fight this corrupt faction that's out to destroy Americans. These guys just want more for themselves and less for everybody else. They don't have morals, scruples, or remorse, they don't think like you and me so don't try to rationalize their insanity. You'll only give yourself a headache because they aren't rational, you can't be if you're going to do half the atrocities they do.

Look for stories that spread stupid lies like if the situation in Iran goes bad oil will become more expensive since Iran is the #2 biggest supplier. And other stories about how we have to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear energy. Then look at who is writing these stories, for which companies, who owns those companies. Who will benefit from this war? Remember the Iraq war and Halliburton?

Those are the 2 main excuses that this faction is going to use to start another war in Iran.
