Evidently, more than you do.
Cultural relativism and being an enemy of the U.S. shouldn't eliminate nation states from adhearing to basic principles of human rights.

Just wake me up when the shooting starts - cause it will. Until then I am tired of the Iranian intrigues.

I'm not interested in discussing world problems with people who are uninterested in solving them.

i'd take confessions under duress w/a grain of salt. they are in fact being held hostage.
i'm glad they're being sent home if that's what's going on.

Iran has hostages?

Kona... I am not saying for certain that the sailors were in the wrong... but just saying it was a possibility.
More likely Iran made a mistake they won't admit to. But there are 3 sides to every story... theres, ours and the truth somewhere in the middle.

(Apr 4 07, 07:30)One must recognize a problem before one can "solve" it.
Something you're either unwilling or unable to do.

The problem is the west has been plundering those nations for centuries.

"I'm not interested in discussing world problems with people who are uninterested in solving them."
How arrogantly well spoken that was.

By the way if you don't know what SAVAAK is without looking it up, you have no credibility in this thread...

You are a blind patriot. Geopolitics isnt the NFL, dipshit.

(Apr 4 07, 07:46)You mean the secret police founded by the CIA for services to the Shah after the US and Britain helped orchestrate the overthrow of Iran's democratically elected leader Mosaddeq? THAT SAVAK?
this thread has gone of kilter a bit... who'd have thunk it?

not to get involved. I'm on the fence on the Iran issue, A know a lot of london based Iranians and so I have seen the country in a different light my whole life.
but this statement seems a little off:
The problem is the west has been plundering those nations for centuries.

(Apr 4 07, 07:44)If I'm not mistaken are you not in the US mrdobilina? In which case you can't distance yourself from the West, as you are part of it. You have been using that oil.
So have my Iranian friends and their families who have been living in London all their lives.

(Apr 4 07, 07:44)Correct me if I'm wrong...but they did a bit of "plundering" themselves once upon a time.
Perhaps we should call it even.
