FOX News reported on the display:
TEHRAN, Iran — Thousands of Iranians nationwide demonstrated Sunday to celebrate the 28th anniversary of the takeover of the U.S. Embassy by militant students, state television reported.
Demonstrators in the capital, Tehran, including elementary school students, gathered outside the former U.S. Embassy, chanting anti-U.S. and anti-Israeli slogans. They burned the two countries' flags and warned Washington to learn from the hostile incident.
The takeover, which occurred during Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution, severely damaged relations between the two countries. The 52 Americans who were held hostage during the crisis were returned after 444 days, but the U.S. cut off diplomatic ties with Iran to protest the incident.
State television showed video footage of the takeover Sunday and images of the Americans who had been held hostage.
Current relations between the two countries continue to be incredibly tense, with the U.S. accusing Iran of covertly developing nuclear weapons and supporting Shiite militias in Iraq — charges Tehran denies.

ReplyDeleteWhat Do We Want From Iran?
President George Bush often states that Iran is threatening the interests of the Unites States in Persian Gulf! What are the interests of England and the United States in Persian Gulf, the Persian front door to Iran?
A primer for discussion of these issues must start with review of British and the United States policies relative to the Persian Gulf region. Stephen Kinzer, a veteran New York Times correspondent, in his book “All the Shah’s Men, an American coup and the roots of Middle East Terror”, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2003, brilliantly reconstructs the events leading to the present dilemma of the United States in the Middle East. The events described in this marvelous book are not fiction, events actually happened during the summer of 1953 in Tehran, Iran.
The United States Central Intelligence Agency operation Ajax staged coup d’état in 1953 against democratically elected Prime Minister Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh. Democracy was substituted with the despotic regime of Mohammad Reza Shah. The dawn of democracy in Iran, started in late 1880, flickered by democratically elected Mossadegh, was extinguished. This was the beginning of Iranian servitude once more to the interests of England and the United States. During his last years, Shah did not trust Iranian people; his inner palace was guarded by Israel commandos. Since 1979, the United States has been punishing Iranian people for ousting the immature, weak, despotic Mohammad Reza Shah. This punishment, Iranian assert, included Iraq invasion of Iran instigated by President Regan. During this war, the United States and her satellite nations helped materially and logistically Iraqi military forces to invade Iran and use chemical and biological weapons on Iranian population.
In the preface of his book, Kinzer recalls his conversation with an Iranian lady about Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh. He asked her: “What do you remember…about the coup against him?” She responded:
“Why did you Americans do that terrible thing? We always loved America. To us, America was the great country, the perfect country, the country that helped us while other countries were exploiting us. But after that moment, no one in Iran ever trusted the United States again…”
This un-American act was instigated by Winston Churchill-Anthony Eden of England and two American brothers John Foster Dulles (US Secretary of State) and Allen Dulles (Director of Central Intelligence Agency). The primary reason for this regime change was to subordinate Iranian people and exploit the Iranian natural resources, oil.
President George Bush prevaricate his true intensions and hide the administration’s primary interest to dominate and exploit the natural resources of Iranian people. Administration states that Iran is threatening the interests of the Unites States in Persian Gulf, because Iranian defense of their homeland is considered a threat. In contrast to 1953, Iranian people are willing to die and kill to defend their homeland.
Harry Truman once said:”There is nothing new in the world except the histories you don not know.” Have we learned from our past mistakes committed during 1953 not to repeat it once more? This time the price would be much larger for both societies of Iranians and our Americans. We must stop President George Bush adventure in his neocolonialism.
I think you will find your time well spent in listening to Panel Discussion: “The U.S. and Iran: a Difficult History”:

So, the first comment is written by an unmitigated troll. He/she/it doesn't bother to answer their own first question. The dead giveaway is the description of a nyt correspondent as "brilliant." Sorry, but I won't stop laughing over THAT oxymoron for days. BTW, what we want from iran is approximately 100 more i.q. points/capita. That will bring them out of single digit territory. The rest of his crap isn't worth scanning, either.

Boy, that Pidgeon flew by and left a big ol' turd. Honestly, the LLL's really have to get better trolls. They are laughable in their "Brave Sir Robin" tactics. It is understandable, they know they can not defend the positions they have taken so they just fly by, drop a pantload of shite and fly away before they get clobbered with the clue bat.
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo....
The ones the Iranians better start worrying about are the Russians.

ReplyDeletere: BEAR @ 1:05 PM..
of course it also dismisses Iran's numerous violations, threats & actions.. ie: Iraq, Lebanon & Afghanistan culpability.. "wipe Israel off the map", "Death to America, Death to England, Death to Israel".. hiding it's nuclear project for 18 years pre discovery.. etc, etc, etc..
ah, the "back to square one" group thinkers certainly have something in common with the "12th Imam seekers".. duh!!

I love the part about that pinko bastard Mossadegh...
ReplyDeleteThe idea of citing a New York Times reporter was just more indication of just how clueless this Saint Michael "the moronic" Traveler is...
This part from the moron's web page was rich: There are currently nine states that have successfully detonated nuclear weapons: the United States, Russia (successor state to the Soviet Union), the United Kingdom, France, and China, India, Pakistan, North Korea and Israel. All these nations have both chemical and biological weapons. Only the United States has used nuclear bombs, both on Japan....
Notice what country's name didn't make the honor roll?
If you guessed, 'Iran' go to the head of the class...
Nuclear Fuel Cycle, Nuclear Bomb, and Iran
ReplyDeleteNuclear Fuel Cycle [http://www.uic.com.au/nfc.htm] is the process of enriching unrianium-235 (U-235) in a natural uranium ore from (0.72 % to less than 5%), fabrication of nuclear reactor fuel cells, and storage and disposal of the spent nuclear fuels as high level radioactive wastes. Iran is learning to enrich U-235 to levels less than 5%. The Iranian fuel development process is under supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Atomic_Energy_Agency].
Nuclear bomb would require an enrichment of uranium ore to 90% or more of U-235. Few nations at this time have capability to enrich uranium to this high level. Iran is not [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Atomic_Energy_Agency#IAEA_and_Iran] one of the countries with ability to produce high level enrichment.
Please follow the links indicated above for a detailed knowledge about Iran and her Nuclear Fuel Process.

ReplyDeleteKey issues in U.N. bid to curb Iran nuclear project
excerpt:
[* ADVANCED CENTRIFUGES
Inspectors have no access to sites where Iran has said it is trying to build P-2 centrifuges, which can refine uranium 2-3 times as fast as the antiquated, brittle P-1 model it is using for its initial enrichment programme.
* MILITARY LINKS
There has been intelligence, denied by Iran, about illicit efforts to "weaponize" nuclear materials, namely a "Green Salt Project" linking work on processing uranium ore, tests on high explosives and a missile warhead design.
* BLACK-MARKET IMPORTS
The IAEA says Iran has given inconsistent answers about when and why it appeared to obtain blueprints and parts for centrifuge enrichment machines from the former nuclear black market network of Pakistan's A.Q. Khan. Iran has also declined to turn over a document on machining uranium metal into hemisphere shapes suitable for the core of bombs.
* TRACES OF BOMB-GRADE URANIUM
Inspectors have sought satisfactory explanations on the origin of some particles of highly-enriched uranium found on some equipment used at atomic research sites.
* ACCESS TO SITES, OFFICIALS IN QUESTION
Iran has stonewalled IAEA requests to examine certain nuclear or related sites and interview officials deemed key to a full understanding of Iranian nuclear activity.
* UNDECLARED SITES
The IAEA cannot rule out Iran may have a military nuclear programme in covert locations. Tehran's cancellation last year of inspections at sites not declared to be nuclear, a move in retaliation for U.N. sanctions' steps, makes it much harder for inspectors to detect possible clandestine activity.
* DESIGN INFORMATION ON PLANNED NUCLEAR SITES
In April, Iran stopped giving the IAEA advance design data on planned nuclear sites. This raised concern about Iranian goals for its planned Arak heavy-water reactor, which Western leaders say could be used to make bomb-quality plutonium. Iran permitted a one-off return of inspectors to Arak in July.
* EFFECTIVE MONITORING OF ENRICHMENT PLANT
The IAEA has sought assured access, with camera surveillance as needed, inside the underground Natanz enrichment hall as the level of centrifuge activity has risen sharply this year. The IAEA has a regular presence only outside the hall.
* PLUTONIUM EXPERIMENTS
Iran has resolved the IAEA's question about tests with plutonium, a major fissile element in atom bombs.]
