whether one is powerful or closer to right is irrelevant. preventing war should be priority for us utubers who finally have a voice. spread the message and dont respond to those who only post dialog with hate. we can argue the points but let our final objective be a common goal for peace. in gods eyes we're loved equally because we are his creation

Iran is so fiercely independent that even when the Muslims Arabs from Arabia too over Iran, they failed to turn Iran into an Arab nation. Iran accepted the religion of Islam but refused the Arab identity. Furthermore, during the Iran Iraq war, the entire world was backing up Iraq against an isolated Iran. Even then, Iraq did not win. Invading Iran is one thing. Keeping that country occupied is WAY more difficult then occupying Iraq due to Iran's Geography.

How many Americans are aware that the US overthrew a legitimate democracy in Iran in 1953? It is - as posters at this site are all aware - a simple fact; but one that is almost never mentioned in the MSM, and appeared to be a state secret in 1979 during the "hostage crisis". This video seems pretty clear and fact-based.

I actually donot think there is anything wrong with the iranian government, the reactions we see in the media are simply a resultant of American threats...

the way to get past the threat of war against iran is to sway public opinion towards a peaceful solution. the u.s. is changing its president. there is hope. iran doesnt look to have anything going for itself with the current leadership. it will have to be the iranians themselves who promote change, just as they did in the late 70s. it seems to becoming a totalarian state where the voice of 1 quiets the masses by force. if you are iranian help me out if im wrong. kodahafez

Typical iranian guy =

Body type like a turkish weight lifter, stocky and square body, very disproportionate. Legs like timber logs.

Add to this tanned oriental skinned, like a solarium tan ON TOP of a naturally tanned, dark skin.
Looks horrible in every way.
Add to this, pitch black, steely scruff framing in a bleeched smile which is whiter than the white parts of the eyes (which are bloody because of substance abuse.

Add to this, waxed overarms with that solarium tan. Atrocity.

Only 2 types of ppl hate Iranians these days:
1. Certain Jews
2. Girls whose boyfriends have jilted them for an Iranian girl.
If ur not in the 1st category then I kindda sympathasis with you. You see Iranian girls can be real bitches when they put their mind to it. I know I married one myself.
The thing is u shouldnt really concern yourself. No man on earth is worth this much bitterness. Just think he didnt deserve u and move on with life.

Tapir nose?
No- I had my nose done 6 years ago.
