And yes, everyone is well aware of the things the CIA does...again, never said I supported that.
I am not sure if I should feel angry or sad at this. It's a horrible thing when someone looses as much faith in the power that they hold as citizens. The problem being is most Americans either feel like you, or could give a rat's ass about anything outside their own personal lives. The apathy that the system has created about the system is beyond believable! It saddens me with all the lack of involvement and backbone that's in this country.

I'm sorry...but they are close enough for me. You think wiping away the regime means like a peaceful removal of government?? Guess again dude. Don't take it so literal, and assume he means the government. He could mean regime like the entire settlement. And really lets be honest, you think ...that given the weaponry(nuclear or not, it doesnt matter)anyways..you think that if the Iranians had the power to do damage in Israel, that they wouldn't? Think if he held the red trigger to the nuke set in Israel, he wouldn't pull it? Give me a BREAK!!!!!!! He'd salivate at the chance. And the "mistranslation" you speak of ...wipe israel off the map...guess what, over there, it isn't even on the map! Their children grow up without knowledge that it even exists, and are taught many other things about the terrible nature of Jewish culture and heritage. So, raising generations of kids under false historical facts and a skewed version of the way the world came to be...preaching hate...I'm sorry but that's ridiculous.
And you're willing to destroy an entire country over a translation "close enough for you"? I really hope you are fluant or have some understanding of the Persian language.
How do you know that this is how life is in Iran. Have you lived there? Have you spent time learning their culture? All you know is what you can try and read. I would not take any MSM word on this either from the "Left" or the "right" networks.

Until they grow up and shut up, they deserve everything they're getting. Iran is a terrible place, and its people are in the grasp of a terrible man. Have you forgotten Zarah Kazemi? If so, I'll remind you that she was an Iranian Canadian who took a photograph of Evin prison while on a trip there, and they captured her, tortured her, raped her, and then killed her. Then, they refused to return the body, and refused negotiation with the Canadian government, refused details, etc. There have been several cases identical to hers as well. Maybe her memory might jog some sentiment into you that defending the Iranian government is beyond shameful.
You want to defend what they do because they lost some land a long time ago?? Ridiculous.
Their Government is a product of America man!!
