So you assert political leaders commentaries as representation of the people?
For argument sake, let us accept your generalization; why do you think the Iranians hated the West?
There should be a reason behind it, right?
Don't give me that, "There must be a reason" nonsense as an argument. You know as well as I do that people will do and believe anything they are told to. If the president goes on television TONIGHT and alleges that Cuba was responsible for 9/11, 8 out of every 10 Americans will want to go to war. But I'll play your game. Why would Russia and Burma repeat cycles of ethnic cleansing? Why did the Japanese see fit to experiment on the Chinese during World War II? Why were Africans taken as slaves? There must surely be a reason for all these.
Besides, you still have yet to face reality. Anti-American sentiment dominates Iran's foreign policy. It doesn't matter what the people think because guess what, they're not the ones controlling their country. The people in power, i.e., the people whose views actually have an affect on the world, clearly subscribe to a belief that the West (not just America) should be destroyed. Are you really going to sit here and make an ass out of both of us. I'm going to keep hammering the fact that Iran has an anti-west policy because get this, IT DOES, and you're going to keep dancing around reality. This is a Black Waltz if I ever experienced one.
I've answered more than enough of your one-sided questions Kaze Araki. It's time you answered at least one of mine.
"Compare America's "We'll do business with anyone who will take us," policy with Irans, "All Westerners should die," policy and you tell me, objectively,
who is a threat to world peace. "If" you are able to do so."
"As I recall a couple months ago North Korea was firing missles at it's neighbors as a "test." These "tests" continued despite censure from the United Nations. North Korea continued it's aggressive behavior and paid no heed to the United Nations. So here we have a country, probably nuclear capable who more or less tested their ability to do anything they want to regardless of what the world has to say.
So, I reiterate thus, "you tell me, objectively, who is a threat to world peace. "If" you are able to do so."
