"I know some very good Persian people who have absolutely no animosity towards America or other Western nations."
I met a very nice Iranian Doctor in a British pub, the night the American hostages were rescued. We were a group of American aviators watching the telly and cheering. He came over, introduced himself and bought us a round. We invited him to sit down and he informed us that he left his country (IRAN) with the regime change. It seems they were executing all of the educated people (doctors, lawyers, professors, etc.) in typical Commie fashion, so he left. Those people are RUNNING IRAN, AND BUILDING NUCLEAR WEAPONS! I know this doctor would say we must STOP THEM! Discrimination is using your brain to adjust your attitude based on past actions. To ignore their past actions would be stupid and suicidal!
The majority of the Iranians are pro-American, fact. BUT their LEADERS are suicidal wahabi islamofascists mullahs who would just as easily nuke their own people as they would nuke us or Israel. Islamic terrorists are nothing but death and destruction. Evil in its purest form. They must be KILLED. Negotiations only buy them time.
