Can't really argue with that one. Though presently we only get really irritated about the word if it has 'Saudi' in front of it. 
Having spent a lot of time explaining to the uneducated on various forums (soon after Sept. 11, 2001) that none of the Afghan groups were 'Arabs', as well as having explained periodically that Iranians are mostly not Arab either, I think I can handle explaining that it's "The Persian Gulf". 
Sorry about responding to such an old post but I couldn't resist after reading that bit I quoted. |
It's a good thing that you posted here. There hasn't been any activities in this part of the forum for a while  I agree with what you wrote.
Out of the total population of Iran, roughly 3 % consists of Arabs. I'm a bit reserved in calling them Iranians, since Arabs are in no way a part of the Iranian identity.
The "struggle" for "independence" of "Arabestan" from Iran, enrages me.

I'm fine thank you. School is bugging me though  It's a struggle.. How about you?
Regarding the money to the oppostion within Iran, I'm really not sure. What you said seemed a good idea. The question is; how does one smuggle it in and distribute it to the freedom fighters without endangering those who are participating in the fight for freedom. I guess one needs to take risks to reach the goal.

I'm sure that those means and connections have been well-established over the years... question is will they be and are they currently being utilized effectively.. I wouldn't doubt that the US Government is already sending stuff in... all I gotta say is lots and lots of satelite phones will do the trick..
best -

Here's one from the big man himself.
"I've got very good relations with President Mubarak and Crown Prince Abdullah and the King of Jordan, Gulf Coast countries."
- Bush, confusing the Gulf Coast with the Persian Gulf

Take the Persian Gulf, you can even take Quwait if you want
Just please, get lost of the mad ayatollahs
All the west is behind you, and all the sane muslims in the world
I am a Jew from Israel, and even though you might think me as an enemy, I can assure you that I support you dearly
The Ayatollahs are my enemy just like they are yours
Please, get rid of them
free your country
improve your economy
you have the potential to be a great country
just like japan after ww2
democratic with a great economy, mix of culutres
i wish i could come to therean and help the students  |

No my friend, we do not consider Jews our enemies. The Jews have always been friends of the Iranian people.
