Unfortunately the alternative is terrible, America controlling Iran and allowing multinational companies and banks to take everything they have. The Ayatollah and Mr. Ahmedinejad are taking a brave stand, but I do understand the worries of the Iranians.
There will be wars with Syria maybe, Israel may become involved and Iran will eventually be drawn in. Naturally they will be out-gunned by the combined forces of America and its satellites in Europe. Standing up to oil interests and international finance is brave but I am worried that many Iranian people are not ready to make the sacrifice necessary, they shouldn't be forced into oblivion unwillingly.
How is spewing lies and denial of tragedies like the Holocaust and September 11th taking a "brave stand"? Why can't they be honest and say, "Hey, we don't like the idea of loaning and international coporations. We feel it isn't in our people's best interests."
I don't see what Ahmedinejad is trying to accomplish by saying these things and openly denying the Holocaust (something which claimed so many lives). It is one thing to be defiant . It is another thing to be insensitive and disresepctful. Surely they can be defiant in a more respectful way?
It is an effort to piss off Iseral which is run mostly by holocaust survivors. It is disturbing that the torture and genocide of the holocaust has come full circle, much of what has been done to them in nazi Germany, they are doing to palistinians(sp).
You would think they would have more compassion, but I guess not.
