Re: Obliterate Iran! remark made by Clinton
i think it is extremely frightening to think that the US can wage war on yet another country, will they never learn their lesson? they have bombarded two countries in the last 6 years with no foundation and don't tell me they are going to do it again. the iranian president has been very confrontational with the US but maybe they are simply trying to assert themselves in their own sphere of influence. iran has a bad reputation for the supposed oppression of women but in actual fact they are quite a democratic society where everyone has equal rights... with the exception of some periods in history there has been next to no persecution of minorities in iran which is something if you compare that to any of their neighbours' records with human rights violations. the israeli question is such a difficult one. iran is vehemently anti-israel, the state was created by western powers at the expense of the palestinians. jews have suffered throughout history i would strongly advocate a homeland for them but it has been gone about in the wrong way and has only led to more suffering of jews and palestinians alike. sorry this post was a bit too long :)
