An opposition effort, the 'Green Movement,' is gaining a global following of regular Iranians who say they never previously considered themselves activists.

	<htmltext>What all this obsession about who actually won the Iranian presidential vote masks is IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO IS PRESIDENT OF IRAN.  Sorry for the all caps but that really needs emphasis.  The Supreme Leader holds all control over foreign policy decisions, security and so forth even nuclear power/weapons.  I mean come on you can't even run for President of Iran with out approval of the Supreme Leader.  Ahmadinejad only has control over domestic policy and even then as long as the Supreme Leader approves.  He is there as a bargaining chip, if he attracts too much heat internationally or domestically he will be thrown under the Revolutionary bus so that the Ayatolla can find someone else to implement his policies.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>In the absence of an external interfering force (e. g., the army of the Soviet Union), the fate of a nation is determined by its people.  Period.
<p>
After the Kremlin exited Eastern Europe, the peoples of each nation in Eastern Europe rapidly established a genuine democracy and a free market.  Except for Romania (where its people killed their dictator), there was no violence.
</p><p>
In Iran (and many other failed states), no external force is imposing the current brutal government on the Iranians.  The folks running the government are Iranian.  The president is Iranian.  The secret police are Iranian.  The thugs who will torture and kill democracy advocates are Iranian.
</p><p>
If the democracy advocates attempt to establish a genuine democracy in Iran, violence will occur.  Why?  A large percentage of the population supports the brutal government and will kill the democracy advocates.
</p><p>
Let us not merely condemn the Iranian government.  We must condemn Iranian culture.  Its product is the authoritarian state.
</p><p>

We should not intervene in the current crisis in Iran.  If the overwhelming majority of Iranians (like the overwhelming majority of Poles) truly support democracy, human rights, and peace with Israel, then a liberal Western democracy will arise -- without any violence.  Right now, the overwhelming majority clearly oppose the creation of a liberal Western democracy.  The Iranians love a brutal Islamic theocracy.
</p><p>
The Iranians created this horrible society.  It is none of our business unless they attempt to develop nuclear weapons.  We in the West are morally justified in destroying the nuclear-weapons facilities.
</p><p>
Note that, 40 years ago, Vietnam suffered a worse fate (than the Iranians) at the hands of the Americans.  They doused large areas of Vietnam with agent orange, poisoning both the land and the people.  Yet, the Vietnamese do not channel their energies into seeking revenge (by, e. g., building a nuclear bomb) against the West.  Rather, the Vietnamese are diligently modernizing their society.  They will reach 1st-world status long before the Iranians.
</p><p>
Cultures are different.  Vietnamese culture and Iranian culture are different.  The Iranians bear 100\% of the blame for the existence of a tyrannical government in Iran.  We should condemn Iranian culture and its people.</p></htmltext>

Argh! Fuck off already. This Ron Paulian junk pisses me off more than anything. People who didn't know shit about Iran just a couple of years ago by learning one fact about Iran's history think they know what Iranians think of west.<br> <br>
The coup is FUCKING FORGOTTEN, amerite?! The real people of Iran have always blamed it almost exclusively on Britain and Ayatollah Kashani; US was and is considered a mere agent of the British perpetrators.

We are not virulently Anti-American. I remember when Iraq was attacked people on buses and cabs talked about how lucky Iraqis are that they are getting rid of Saddam and we're stuck with the shitty regime. They wished US attacked Iran instead, yes that might seem unbelievable to followers of his majesty Ron Paul. Of course that wish changed when bombs started going off on a daily bases, US decided to stay and everything went to hell. That is basically one of the reasons Iran helped with making Iraq unstable to avoid any such wishes by people to get real.<br> <br>
You should turn the TV off, get off the couch and take a trip to Iran to understand how Iranians not only not hate, but most of them like Americans.<br> <br>
And lastly on sanctions, again nobody blames US. Khomeini has a famous quote that kinda translates to "US can't do shit to us". Well, the current state of Iran shows that he was very wrong, and we blame him for this mess. He created an enemy and the enemy acted like one.<br> <br>

	<htmltext>I am going to start trashing Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the rest of the corrupt and evil Iranian government on Facebook, Tweeter, and everywhere else I can find.  I am not afraid of those idiots and I dare them to try and do anything to me.  They are nothing more than impotent pieces of shit and one day, God willing, they will be put in their place.  You cannot oppress people without ultimately losing control in the end.

If the Iranian government would simply give its people the respect they deserve, then the government would be more respected.  Since that will never happen, then that government will always be illegitimate.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>I sincerely detest your conclusion.  It is also based on a fallacy, as there is no "absence of an external interfering force".  <br> <br>

Your belief that Eastern Europe developed democracy without external influence shows your total ignorance about recent European history.  Eastern Europe has received massive funding from the EU to build infrastructure and ensure economic development.  Equally important is the political and economic integration across Europe, and the military strength of the USA that brings stability and a sense of security.
The democratization of Eastern Europe is the result of determination and massive investments, and this is by the way the norm.  Think about how the US treated Germany and Japan after WW2.
<br> <br>
Those examples are in stark contrast to the how Iran has been influenced from the outside.  Both the USA and USSR opted to support <b>both sides</b> of the Iran-Iraq war<br>
 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International\_aid\_to\_combatants\_in\_the\_Iran\%E2\%80\%93Iraq\_War" title="wikipedia.org" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International\_aid\_to\_combatants\_in\_the\_Iran\%E2\%80\%93Iraq\_War</a> [wikipedia.org]
<br>
Meaning simply that a conflict in the middle east was in the interest of both super powers, playing divide and conquer.  Or was that also because of some cultural phenomenom?
<br> <br> To state that culture is the ultimate force in political developments is simply naive.  Not only naive, it is dangerous.  People like you scare me.</htmltext>

A very westernized, liberal Turkish person, who lives in America, presumably well out of reach of authorities back home, still is afraid to talk topics that may run afoul of both the Turkish military and the current pro-islamic government.
