OK F14, I want you to know that I’m really enjoying this discussion so keep your spirits up… I put down my normal reading this evening and I’ve dug into your posts. This is worth my time because I bet these open discussion blogs drive the MOIS crazy. BTW, Is FR banned in Iran? Kashayar keeps EU hours so I’d be surprised if he’s in Tehran as he suggests… What’s important is that FR is read by some interesting, influential and important people in Washington DC and this debate is going to be read by some great, democratic minds.

F14, I wish you had posted your own intellect, but for the moment Dan Darling’s will do. I think you and Dan should read the constitutions of the U.S., China, Iran, NCRI and then read the International Declaration of Human Rights respectively. When you’ve done that, read the constitutional amendments of the U.S., China and Iran and compare them. Now ask yourself, what do I as F14 believe? Then ask what documents and what activism would be good for Iranians and Americans in terms of U.S. Iran relations and global progress…

If you can support what you believe when you come to the conclusion that you actually believe in something, I would like to share with Freepers the discrepancies between your politics and mine. At this point we disagree on whether or not U.S. Army personnel should murder non-combatants. In my opinion, having served with the DOD, I believe U.S. military strength is too vast to suggest it should be used illegally to murder non-combatants. How can US personnel murder non-combatants as you suggest and maintain moral credibility? But before you answer, get with Dan and do some constitutional reading, debating and discussing… I’m looking forward to reading your valuable opinions. Death to this and down with that isn’t going to get us anywhere…
