I'm a right winger who likes the Iranian people. Unlike the rest of the Middle East, Iranians (especially the young) want to become more Westernized. We should have supported their protests and not the "Arab Spring". Unlike Iran, the people in countries such as Egypt and Libya want their nations to become more Islamic and less secular.
Do you think Obama would hesitate to start another war if he thought it would mean four more years? Or better yet, marshall law ala Roosevelt.


I'm a Libertarian/Conservative and one of my bosses (and friend) is an Iranian and a Bahai. Do you know how they treat Bahai's over there?

Iran is one backasswards country and it scares the snot out of me to think that maniacle idiot could have a button.

Yes they are, but then who isn't really?
The rest is insane logic
