Here is a nice linkg on NY times.. its a flash based video. Its about an american journalist who goes into iran asking questions from the young, the clerics, and the farmers. Its actually the only vid ive seen in america that truly shows the people of iran. Their not your reg flag burners.... www.nytimes.com/packages/html/opinion/20040519_IRAN_FEATURE/index.htm |

Hi Sherv,
Thanks for the link. I'm Tinky from way back.
What do most Iranians, from what you remember and who you talk to, think of the Israelo-Palestinian conflict?
You know that that link can be interpreted to say that the Iranian population is with the US and that the only thing needed is a bit of a push and that "bringing democracy will be a cakewalk".
In the video it says the young view Khomeini well, do a lot of Iranian think an Islamic state is a good idea and that it just hasn't been implemented properly?
Good day

The young people believe that govt and religion shouldnt be in the same sentence.... Unfortunately it is not something that can be pushed by another country... its a battle the people must do... The persian people have changed over the years... fear, stealing, the talk but no action, and they just dont work together... everyone is lookin out for number one.. no one will take a sacrifice.. the people arent ready yet. the time will come. If america pushes iran....... only another horrible state will be in power. Iran is fragile. If they get some guy who romances the crowd then its over.. once he gets power itll be the same shit over again. Iran needs to get to the point where they want a revolution, the want democracy, seperation of religion/govt, freedom, and will sacrifice themselves for it. The iranian people have nothing against usa except the shuh but that is over with and the persian people love america. Thats why they run from iran and try to come to Canada and then to America if they can. Most iranians. depending on what age group. Like the 32+ are a little biased towards the palestinians but the young people believe that both sides are going about it wrong. The believe that the bloodshed is pointless over a never ending issue. They also realize that there are good and bad people on both sides. Where the good on both palestinian and israeli side try to work together but their efforts are ruined by the angry/irrational people. You ask most iranians about Khomeini and they will tell you he was honest and was nothing like these guys. But alot more will say that he was honest but in the end it probebly woudlnt have been that much different from what has happend. But there is always that small group of irrational/uneducated/misinformed people that will say pure trash and stain the images of the majority. They are extremists and they dont represent a large number at all. infact their rare. Also thanks for reading and commenting  |
