ReplyDeleteIdiot remark. Carefull, US fat ass brain fart alert!
DeleteStrength of A WOMAN !!-
ReplyDeleteANY Nation that leaves out the contributions of a section of its society can never stand up!!-hoping Americas most trusted democratic friends[P-gulf states] take some lessons !!.
THANKS once more Mark for sharing THIS ONE!!.
Just look at those clowns doing "Karate" drills...The Iranian equivalent of rednecks, mullets included.
ReplyDeleteIOn one hand one worries About what Syria and Iraq become hopefully will not happen to Iran. That would be exactly the outside influence try to develop. In the other hand this is reverse class warfare of the Shah era. Can Iran resolve its differences without violence when it happens? Does the consciousness rise to that level when there is blood in the street?
ReplyDeleteIn addition would you please either do not respond to non Iranian ignorant comments or when you do not impolitely! Some of us live in America! Call this place home. If one dosn’t understand the facts, this is a good REPRESENTATION and learning source.
Let's hope they will never ever point that gun at an unarmed civilian.
ReplyDeleteThat has certainly and beyond any doubt happened many times in iran, just today, not over issues of theft, rape or evil which are all common there and often committed by these this but because some iranian was trying to protest such behavior and/or assert rights that are commonplace in the United States.
DeleteHow else do you expect a mafia tegime to keep a population in line?
They need to upgrade their body armor!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I left Iran when I had a chance. Anyone who can leave that forsaken place for a dignified, normal life in a civilized country should do it.
ReplyDeleteSartre the famous French Philosopher and existentialist has said :
"Every nation deserves the government ("political system") that they have"
These are the only supporters of the islamic terrorist regime.
ReplyDeleteThe theocracies one and only "enemy" is the Iranian nation.
