Iran is not the problem, The US media are all anti-Iranian
ReplyDeleteCome on, we all know by asking any American, they would not be able to show Iran on a map.loool
Besides more than half of the American men have not seen their own ..... under their big fat bellies for at least 20 years.meaning they would not even recognize their own.....loool
Their (US) opinion over Iran is as irrelevant as Iranian affection for Nigerians...
Any Iranian, giving a toss about what anyone thinks of them... specially Nations who invade and kill millions.. is not a true Iranian....Iranians swim on and move on smirking at such polls looool
God Bless Iran and its people, ...
After all of Sarko's groveling France is just at 63%, behind Israel, and India!
ReplyDeleteI'm part of the 10%. Hurray!
ReplyDeletei'm part of the 10% too! this poll truly reflects how propaganda/agendas/targetted admonishment by the media affects public opinion. The masses are usually not smart enough to decipher the news and get the true big picture, so the media plays on that and manipulates it. Remember before we invaded iraq? these same polls shows americans had a bad opinion on iraq-because the media had been fueling the "anti-iraq" cause 247!Saudi arabia and pakistan alone haev cause the US so much headaches already, but there will be more disastrous headaches in the future..
ReplyDeleteThree decades starting with hostage crisis, and continued by burning US flags and chanting “Death to America” do create such seriously low impression of the country. It is unfortunate. It is incumbent on the 10% folks to do their best to counter the negative propaganda in this country and help the American public to distinguish between policies of the government of the Islamic Republic and the wishes of a significant segment of the Iranian people to have friendly relationship with the American people. The Americans visiting ordinary people in Iran testify of such desires and the friendliness of the Iranians toward them.
ReplyDeleteWorld opinion, considers exactly the opposite.
ReplyDeletewell, as an American, I can tell the first guy to shove it. That's why you're anonymous. I do think the fact that Palestine is so low and Egypt is so high represent that most Americans know nothing about either of those two countries, do you have a link to this study? I would love to use it in future research.
