Hey - Captain Bejnood!
Is that seriously a picture of you man? Ok. Give us the Iranian perspective. You seem like a pretty intelligent kid. What's the word - is Iran going to wipe out Israel or not? Do average Iranian people sit around waiting for the day when they can go all Marvin The Martian on Israel, just blow it to smithereens? Or are th ...[text shortened]... ricans, who worry about football and little league and what kind of car their neighbor just got?
P.S. Yes, that is a picture of me when I was 10, three years ago.
Originally posted by ivanhoeNo, I don't take what the Iranian President says for his internal political consumption very seriously. Do you take it seriously when Ariel Sharon makes public statements threatening war with Iran?
marauder: "Some country's presidents say dumb things. So what?"
You are taking this very lightheartedly, marauder .... why ? Don't you take the Iranian president seriously ... same as you do or did when Reagan said stupid things?
Don't you condemn the Iranian President's stance ?
The Holocaust is a historical fact, therefore, the Iranian President is factually wrong to suggest it is a "myth". I don't feel a need to "condemn" a factually incorrect historical stance; it's enough to say it's wrong. What's the big deal? It seems to be just another way to drum up anti-Iranian feeling in support of war to make a federal case out of his statement.

Some country's presidents say dumb things. So what? Ronald Reagan once said that the Abraham Lincoln Brigade which fought in the Spanish Civil War against the Fascists and their German and Italian allies "fought on the wrong side". There's no intelligence test for elected presidents, sadly or not.
Nothing personal against you with this remark, no1: There's no intelligence test for attorneys, especially for ACLU attorneys and LOTS of defense attorneys, and judges, especially in the 9th circuit of California...😉

Originally posted by ivanhoeYeah, sort of like Chamberlain in the 1930s...we all know (should know at least) the results of that "clear stance against outrageous statements..." Good post, Ivanhoe.
In Europe we are used to people who state these things. We know them and we recognise them and their friends for what they are: neo-fascists and anti-Semites.
We have to be vigilant against all sorts of fascism and anti-semitism whether they disguise themselves as Muslems, Christians, Buddhists, communists, democrats, republicans, Democrats, Republicans, ...[text shortened]... ke a clear stance against such outrageous statements runs the risk of becoming their accomplice.

Yes, of course I take this very seriously.
I would like to see your reaction if a President of the United States or some right wing American Christian fundamentalist politician would state such a thing for "internal political consumption". I doubt you would react in the same lighthearted way. All the names of those birds sitting on your shoulder would be flying over the forums.
Originally posted by ivanhoeLet's see; that's because I'm a citizen of the United States and when my dimwit President makes a stupid statement it is my concern. If I was a citizen of Iran, I'd be a lot more concerned about my President's stupid statements. If I was a citizen of the Netherlands, I'd be concerned about the Dutch President's (if you have one) statements, etc. etc. etc. See how that works?

Originally posted by ivanhoeIf by "world citizen" you mean I should support the efforts of certain groups to expand their influence and power over the entire world, I'll pass. The statements of the Iranian President aren't important at all except to those who want to use them for propaganda purposes to drum up hatred and ill-feeling against Muslims in general and Iranians in particular. You know, the type of people who would say "President X of Country 1 said this; don't you think that proves he's dangerous and we should topple his government?" Know anybody who thinks like that, Ivanhoe?
