WE ADVISE THIS GUEST TO CREATE A REAL USERNAME INSTEAD OF CONTINUALLY POSTING SUCH VIEWS AS ANONYMOUS. IF THIS GUEST REALLY WANTS TO HAVE A CIVIL DEBATE THEN HE/SHE WILL CREATE A USERNAME SO WE CAN TAKE HIM/HER MORE SERIOUSLY - Guest, we formed this topic form selected posts which had begun in a sticky thread in the news forum. If you're interested in discussing a particular topic in the future that is not currently being discussed in any of the threads please create a new topic. Otherwise, DON'T diffuse and distract from the focus which exists in many of the threads - no one on this board appreciates that! Furthermore, inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated as this is a board for activists who support the Iranian people so we don't care for your conspiracy theories that only attempt to hurt the opposition. We are all well aware of our history and past, much more than you are. Our greatness extends far beyond the Pahlavi dynasty and so does much of our sadness and despair. You can post your views regarding the Iran/Iraq war in this thread alone so that our compatriots may respond to you if they so choose. Once again, please only post messages that are relative to a particular discussion thread - and also create a username. Continually posting the type of material you enjoy contributing as "anonymous" will not be tolerated, and if it persists you will be banned from this board if there is either a consensus for your removal among the activists on this board or the administration.

Thanks! - Admin


Is it reasonable to assume that Bush cares for Iranian life, when his father was part of the Reagan administration - the same administration that members of the United States Department of Defense have admitted, helped Iraq plan the deaths of thousands of Iranian soldiers?

[Guest]

I noticed that no one even responded, when I pointed out that members of the Department of Defense have admitted that during the Reagan administration, they helped Iraq with intelligence and direct planning, to kill thousands of Iranian soldiers.

Why the silence?

People who perhaps are not upset over the killing of Iranian soldiers, can have better things to do.

Also, are we really all aware of these things? Or are we just trying to avoid them?

Guest,

Where did you get the information the US was helping Iraq? There are many myths that the US set up Saddam, he was our man, and we helped arm him, but in reality we didn't even have diplomatic relations with him for many years. Our "friend" was and is supposedly Saudi Arabia and we did pretty much what they asked I believe. During the war between Iran and Iraq we did warm up to Saddam some and helped keep the oil flowing through the straights of Hormuz. The US was concerned about the possibility of Iran winning and spreading their fundamentalism to Iraq, but I understand our help to Iraq was very limited.

Perhaps you will share your sources.


Everyone else,

I'm not Iranian and can't tell you how to resolve the differences, however it is better for us to all work together to get freedom for Iran. I believe Bush's help will be limited even if he wins since he is only human and can only get so much through the political process. However, Kerry will clearly go kiss the Mullahs feet and beg for forgiveness. Of that there is no question. Ultimately whoever is president, it is up to the Iranians to determine their own future and a US president can only help.

First of all I could spend 1 trillion years going through every moment in history and filtering out any facts I choose to launch political attacks against any government I so choose.. As an Iranian I'm offended by your stupid comments - secondly, many of us are a new generation of Iranians who unlike many of our parents and others aren't lazy, are very active, and are looking towards the future.. We are not a depressed lot just sitting, eating, making money, and complaining.. We are fighting for change - and we WILL BE VICTORIOUS ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!!!!

Officers Say U.S. Aided Iraq in War Despite Use of Gas

Please refrain from posting messages to thread which are off topic, distracting, and do not represent the current struggle Iranians are fighting for.. We are all aware of the past!

Isn't the intentional killing of tens of thousands of soldiers who were defending Iran, of some concern to Iranians?

And isn't each generation supposed to learn something from the last?

[Guest]

Aren't you guys supposed to be democratic?

If you want to make a free democracy in Iran, won't people look to see how you behave right now - when you are not in power?

Guest,

I'm still waiting for your evidence the US killed "tens of thousands of Iranian soldiers."

Guest,

The article you provided indicates the US assistance to Iraq was very limited to some battle field assesment and doesn't mention weapons or direct US involvement in the war. Considering the threat Iran as it is now governed poses a serious threat to our country and Western civilization, I'd say our involvement was limited. As your article states, we were trying to protect our "friends" the Saudi Arabians.

[Guest]

The article indicates otherwise. Read it again.

Are you aware of the role of intelligence, or timely decision-making, in modern warfare?
