It casts a poor light on those who come out in support of Iran while at the same time further reinforcing the point that they are an antagonist regime that doesn't care much for people with opinions contrary to their own.
Oh, so anyone who questions US/Israeli foreign policy vis a vis Iran is an apologist for the Iranian regime and the hanging of homosexuals and persecution of women.
whatever.

Until an individual does not have to contact a group of bikers to protect their deceased homosexual son or daughter who has died in the service of fighting for their nation against anti-gay groups, then you can contact me back.

And for the record, I live next door to a pastor who is a generous and kind man. My mindset of religion is neutral at the very best, yet I cannot deny both sides of the coin concerning the good and the bad of both the religious and the secular. So before you stand upon your pedestal and preach whatever mindset against me, maybe you need to step back a bit and reconsider your thoughts about my lack of post history throughout this thread until now. In other words: I can't call it a chicken without seeing the egg and where it comes from.

So far he's also claimed Iran wants to destroy the US and claimed that it was illegal for women to drive in Iran. I don't think he really knows what he's talking about.

Does Iran have problems? Sure. But I'd imagine by in large many of the things we think as heinous the Iranian public would think were fair. It's a fairly conservative Islamic country don't forget. I'd imagine a good portion of the population are against homosexuality, just as a good portion are in the US. Thankfully that portion doesn't have as much power to enact on their beliefs by way of laws.

Though same sex marriage still being illegal in many/most(?) states might run counter to that belief.

But I know that opinion is unpopular among Americans.
ive asked you this in another topic but got no reply, why do you want the iranian goverment to get nukes? it seems to me the only reason they would want them is to be able to further influence neighboring countries without fear of reprisal, which while undoubtly is what the iranian goverment wants, the sanctions that are already strangeling thier economy will no doubt only get worse which will hurt the iranian citizen massivley.

while I dont want to insult you, it seems like you want the clearly unethical iranian goverment to gain nukes because they are from a muslim country that you feel connected too, and you havent really thought of what the consequences would be.

So far you've claimed the IAEA and UN are biased in favor of the US/Israel and all the documented evidence of nuclear weapons development at Parchin, Iran, is made up. Including photoshopped pictures.

Ah well, it's only slaughtering homosexuals. It's bad but that doesn't mean they are intolerant people willing to dispose of ALL those who hold contrary to their views!

Where is the predudice? Im basing it on constant statements that Israel is illegitimate, stolen, the holocaust never happened.

So you really think that statement is saying that saying the regime should not exist is really calling for a two state solution? (which wouldn't change the israeli regime)

Having said that, rather than try to argue with you or defend myself against such an asinine accusation by yourself, I'll just take it to the mods.

There is literally no point in debating with people like yourself. It's the Bush "you're either with us or against us" way of thinking all over again. Only now it's, "You're either with us or you hate us" instead.
I wasn't saying you hate america. It was to prove a point that people accuse people of hating something way to easily.

Lol, I have no connection with Iran at all. I just know, based on facts, that the US and Israel's track record is undeniably more aggressive and dangerous. Whilst sanctions hurt Iran in the short term, once they get those nuke's they at least have some deterrent for the long run. Without them they are sort of sitting ducks to a, at this point, near likely attack from Israel or the US. Just look at Lebanon and Iraq. Those countries were annihilated, and for what? Better to deal with sanctions and trade with other nations (China/Russia) than be put at risk of having your country completely totalled at any point, and millions of civilians be murdered, over very little to nothing.

Without those nukes Iran will always be under threat of annihilation. Even if they followed protocol and did things by the book (see Iraq).

Yes they were.

And the stuff you talk about, human rights etc. That stuff has to change from the inside as it did in my country (the UK) and yours. Not from threat of war or actual war. As has been seen time and time again, by in large such wars just end with more conservative governments or more political turmoil further down the line.

Iran itself is the very example of that. It did once have a secular democratic government. But the US/UK did away with it and instead instilled the Shah. Why? Because at the time Iran wanted to nationalise their oil which was previously controlled by a British company.

Iran has some of the most women's rights out of all of the Middle East. Far more rights than any of our "allies" over there.

Im not arguing for imposing Human Rights from abroad (i have no problem with education and pressure). I'm just saying that with those nukes that change is a heck of a lot less likely to come from the inside. They can crush any decent without the world being able to do anything. And before you ask I believe in the R2P doctrine.

And lets not pretend that if the 1953 coup wouldn't have happened everything would have been peachy and Iran a bastion of democracy. We can't change the past. You have to act in the present.

You can't change the past, but you're clearly ignoring it. Just back the fuck up from all the countries over there.

Who put Saddam into power? The west.
Who put the Taliban in power? The west.
Who put the current Iranian Regime in power? It was result of the west imposing another one of their fucking puppets in the region.

Again and again and again, you guys never fucking learn. They don't like the west because they fuck everything up.

Sure you can't change the past, and you "act in the present" but ignoring the crimes that the west has done to them is fucking bullshit.

Fucking warmongering apologist son of a bitch.

And for the fucking record, the last time Iran was in a War, it was because we told Saddam to go to war with them, with the weapons we gave them. I'm fucking sorry, but you've got to be on some fucking high horse to believe they shouldn't have nuclear weapons to dissuade any more bullshit from the good ole US of A, let alone nuclear energy.

This shit infuriates me. Fucking god damn police of the fucking world.

the sanctions now are indiscriminate. they're not crippling though, fortunately, Iran is too important for eastern countries to not do business with, so the impact of the sanctions regime wont be as devastating for civilians as it was in Iraq.

I think you are underestimating the effect heavy sanctions will have on iranian citizens, if things continue in the same direction a huge amount of iranians would be thrown into poverty, the quality of life, which is declining already, will be horrible.

moreover the invasion of iran by the united states has only become a real threat after iran has started seeking nuclear arms, before that no gave a shit what iran did, even though it funded the US's enemys, the reason for the nukes is much more the likley for the purpose of spreading the iranian goverments ideals and world view then fear for their people.

and because numerous people have brought it up in this thread, israel is in no way a real threat to iran, the most they will ever do is bomb specific locations which post a strategic threat to israel, anyone saying anything else is just making things up

you're saying that Iranian nukes will help them crush dissent at home, since they can do whatever they want without fear of invasion. (Im not sure there's any historical precedent of a regime with nukes being less vulnerable to internal collapse, so the factual basis of what you're saying is pretty dubious) Im saying that indiscriminate sanctions that hurt civilians and force them to rely more heavily on the regime for basic necessities will do more to hurt the chances of the regime collapsing from within.

this actully seemed to work well in south africa's case, and while it might very well help the goverment maintain stabilty, making thier economy collapse will hurt thier abilty to project power and greatly reduces them as a military threat, which I think is the main point.(this no doubt hurts civilians massivley mind you)

WE'VE FREED AFGHANISTAN! WOOT!
Only because those bastard Commies were taking it over!

WE FREED AFGHANISTAN AGAIN!
After we helped establish the Taliban as the ruling party there to fight the Commies... they ended up being bad people though!

WE GAVE IRAQ FREEDOM!
After putting them through a terrible dictator we placed there.

WE LIBERATED THE PEOPLE OF LIBYA!
Resulting in a quick ~25k thousand deaths and safe havens for extremists.

The policy for the middle east will never change. It hasn't for the past century, and it STILL won't.

I'm not putting all the blame on the "white man," sectarian violence has fucked up the region for centuries, but the meddling REALLY doesn't help.

Hey phosphor112, there was some goober in another thread claiming that the usa DOES NOT have a habit of CREATING problems (i.e. biological weapons) and then has to spend millions to clean them up later.

Given your knowledge on various Western interventions, do you think that happens regularly? "That" meaning the possibility of the US having weapons/etc that eventually get out of hand and have to be reigned in.

The goober denied this was a possibility.

Glad you admit that Israel, as the region's only fair and open democracy, is vastly superior when it comes to human rights than ALL of it's neighbors.
I labeled the "allies" in question. Learn to read.

Oh is that what you were doing? Sorry, it looked like you were spewing endless vitriol about how it's America's fault blah blah and Iran kills gays but hey that's ok blah blah.

Seriously, you should just leave. You're an embarrassment to yourself.
Did I say it was ok for them to kill gays? Who's fault is it that the Islamic Revolution happened? Oh? Not the US? What about the CIA? No? Ok. Oh wait...

Read a history book.
Easy there, I was asking your opinion, not debasing anything you were saying.

OHHHHH, cherry picking America's allies in the region. So Iran's human rights abuse isn't that bad compared to other Islamic states, but compared to the rest of the World it's absolutely horrific and deplorable. Gotcha.

Anyway, you still admit Israel is vastly superior on the human rights thing, yeah? I mean that's the important part I'm taking out of your post.

Same tired argument on whether Iran is evil or not. Could have been a more interesting discussion on cyber warfare, especially the bit about losing control of such a sophisticated weapon.

As long as we aren't talking about people living in Palestine/the occupied territories, this is undoubtedly true.

But is your argument that this gives them the moral authority to wage war on Iran? If not, i really don't see the point. And if it is, i strongly disagree.

I never questioned the human rights of Israel compared to the rest of the middle east. Not even once. Do they have their problems? Yes, so does everyone else in the region.

"Compared to the rest of the world" Israel is a fucking nightmare, so you can't use that point of view in your favor.

Displacement of thousands of people. Preventing AND attacking a flotilla that had medical and food aid, mind you this was all done in international waters. Use of WP against Palestinians. They aren't innocent like you paint them out to be.

Don't really care about the political talk - but I think this was a pretty amazing program from a technological standpoint.

Also, if the choice (whether you agree with it or not) was to: 1) Bomb Iran or 2) Infect Nuclear Program with targeted virus to disable/slow- clearly, choice 2 is preferable from a loss of life and stability standpoint.

Ah, you're talking about the Occupied (actually Disputed) Territories that Israel provides electric, water, phone/internet service (and more finance and aid in the year than any other nation in the world combined) to? I see.

Nah, there's no point there at all. Someone originally was wondering how GAF has an Iran Defense Force and I'm showing up the hypocrisy that some people would be pro-anything if it meant being anti-Israel.

So Iran kills gays, we all got our problems!

But yeah, you admit Israel's superiority over human rights. That's the important part.

That's because it is usually not reported by western media. Israeli politicians have quoted the Bible and its stories of the destruction of Ai and other cities and compare those to Iran.

Israel also has nukes and has bombed it's neighboring countries throughout the decades. They're as big of threat in that region as anyone else.

You at least had a point about Israel's human rights. An irrelevant point, but it was a correct observation, nonetheless. But what you posted above...you dont want to go here. Spare yourself the embarrassment.

People need to stop saying this. Iran is an extremely aggressive nation and has been at war since the 1950s. And if record servers me correctly, they signed an agreement to not have any weapons of mass destruction.

Iran sympathizes and gives comfort to other terrorist groups.

If Iran gets nukes, it will trigger an arms race.

Hix: now you've just descended into childish fanboy silliness. Replace "Israel" with your gaming console of choice and "Iran" with a company you dont like and your last few posts would read like something written on GameFAQs by a 14 year old in a heated fanboy war.

This thread has gone to shit.

You've made no contribution to this thread and this post is even less of a contribution. If this thread has gone to shit, you have only yourself to blame.
