(4,309 posts)Iranians have a lot of reasons to hate us. We overthrew their government in the 50s and supported the brutal Shah regime for years. Oh yes, and we shot down their passenger airliner. That said, I would like to see the evidence that Iran had anything to do with 9/11. I don't think they did.
The sad thing is that many people watch this BS and believe it.

(28,929 posts)Absolutely zero chance. As the guy in the video said Iran is Shia and Osama was Sunni and they hated one another. Eric Dick Head probably knows this but Fox's agenda is to keep Americans hating Iran in any way possible. They want war and they will say anything to misinform the American people so they can get their war.

(10,495 posts)homes never to be seen again by the millions. The Shah was brutal to his own people for decades, so when the revolution happened they lashed at at us, the ones who did that to them. I can still remember our news explaining the Iranians behavior by saying it was a nation of crazy people. That was the reason they took our hostages, they were all crazy!
The coup overthrowing a Democratically elected Iranian government was because British Petroleum (BP) went crying to their government because Iran wanted them to actually have to pay a fair price for the Iranian's oil, when they refused the Prime Minister threatened to nationalize the oil fields. The British came to us and the CIA spent $200,000 in the slums of Tehran to have the poor overrun the Prime Minister's home and drag him out. He was accused of treason, tried and immediately hanged. The Iranians have many valid reasons to hate our guts!
I wonder how they would feel if the roles had been reversed.

(406 posts)Millions of AIPAC and associated funds went into bashing Iran by any means possible. They're all either spewing whatever they can in hopes of getting more down the road or are in the process of doing what they were paid to.
As we all know, truth doesn't matter with the RW. All their establishment cares about is what they're funded to spew and do and making sure their voters remain drunk and stupid.
It's the same old same old.
I'd like to see whenever these releases come out about AIPAC and associated funds be shown, followed by many examples similar to Kyle's one piece of Fox footage.

(19,288 posts)If fact picture this scenario. Iran's Jews are pushed to the border against badland of an arid salt strip of land. They are walled into a bombed out ghetto and not allowed new construction materials. They are stopped at check points and not allowed to cross into territory where the have medicine and hospitals. Pregnant woman are forced to deliver in their car. Babies are born dead. Soldiers roam freely and beat and jail and excute at will. Many are imprisoned for seeking human rights. There are no jobs. Poor schools. Little food. Inadequate medicines. And the world turns its back.
Just comparing an imaginary Iran situation to the Palestinian situation. It would be hard not to be mad in behalf of people of your own faith.
