LoL, dude. Your "I hate America and the Evil Jews" bit is funny.Just curious, why pick [just] America, when even your own nation (Russia, right?) has done similar/worse? Why not make threads about the atrocities going on in S.E. Asia as well, for example.
I have a deep-seated hatred for Russia that goes into too many personal issues. But yes, if you want me to talk about some secret Russian transactions between the Iranians, Hezbollah and Hamas I'd work towards that. I became an American citizen about seven years ago, and I pretty much renounced the whole Russian crap along with it.
Of course, when I came here I was immediately surprised by the two-faced nature this country has to offer, and it makes my head hurt just thinking about it now. I have a strong feeling in a few years from now (when I am financially able to) I'll move again somewhere else. And keep moving until I realize finally that countries don't mean anything to an individual. Each country has just as much wrong-headed shit in it as the next.
BTW... that really surprises and somewhat disturbs me that you and inimalist don't know what the Green Revolution is. I'm sure the Canadian press talked about it, and during last summer here in the US I saw a lot of green Iranian banners waving around on Fox, CNN and NBC

Is a US attack on Iran imminent?
Hope so.
Yeah, it's just a nickname. Like the Tulip Revolution in Krgyzstan and the Orange Revolution in Ukraine. The anti-Iranian regime wore tons of green, and the name began to stick around late June.
But yeah Russia (especially its Soviet stage) had a lot of crap going on in the Middle East... and they still do unfortunately.
So now we know the truth....

its just strange, as South Asia and Iran already had a "green" revolution.
The introduction of corporate GMO crops into South Asia (esp. India) is also called such.
Which apparently wasn't major in Iran, because they had their own White Revolution, which was more than simply agricultural, it seems to be a major increase of all national infrastructure.

A strange issue that many don't seem to understand about Iran:
The more we try to do anything, the more power the Iranian government gets. "Westerized" women are the cause of quakes? lol

Love how Ahmadinejad "predicted" that a quake would hit. What a ****ing clown-shoe, that guy.
yup, but so long as the West makes Iran the bad guy, he will be there
****, like those "green revolution" protests could have won, or been unnecessary, if nationalism hadn't been spurred on by Bush & Obama. I guess also Israel..
not as much as we are lead to believe in major centers like Tehran.
But even then, internal Iranian politics have been influenced by the West since the Shah, and the whole matter of making veiling the law for women was basically done as a billboard to the Western powers the Ayatolla thought he had beaten, not really about Sharia law. Its the same now, the religious nuts are being supported by people who are convinced that they are the only ones that can save them from Western aggression. If America didn't go out of its way to call Iran the enemy of the free world, far less people would side with the religious authorities, and we might have never seen Ahmadinejad elected (other, more "modest" candidates were predicted to win the first election Ahmadinejad won).

Would there have been an attempt at a "green revolution" without western influence? I was under the impression that it was built up mostly as a ploy by the US.

shit, maybe I'm off here. I thought it represented sort of legitimate frustrations with the powers that be...
... which are there.

are you suggesting it wouldn't be a tradgedy if Israel was nuked?
I don't think I would actually care. Its so far away that at best I could only oppose it on principle.
Of course I'm not really in a position to make any statements about that. I tend to get filled with rage when I return from a Sabeel conference.

Oh, I seem to have confused the Green Revolution with the Iranian Green Revolution. I blame this on Wikipedia which inexplicably compares the first to Iranian White Revolution.
