csmonitor.com — In the wake of its disputed election, Iran faces diminished support from some friends and hardening opposition among foes and is no longer a political demigod. The bloody spectacle of regime enforcers stamping out pro-democracy protests, dozens of deaths and torture is cracking down on Iran's influence on the region.

he may be speaking for the people and not the leadership. either way it is always good to get another perspective from the Iranian diggers. we should encourage.

We have our highs and lows, but overall we remain very steady.It's not like the Arab world has military bases throughout the world and they do little for donations of food/health for poorer countries.The people are incompetent, the Red Cross could not even help people over there and they had to come up with the Red Crescent to be able to operate. Simply to help the people and they convey it as a message of Jihad/Crusades.

It is almost like governments never really represent their people.

....what?!What are you talking about? If you really think we give a flying f**k that you speak Farsi and we speak Arabic, then - at the risk of disappointing you and your Iranian buddies - you are sorely mistaken. War only with Greece?HAH! what about the Greco-Persian war and the Anglo-Persian wars? The Russo-Persian wars, etc...And what's all that nonsense about Iranians NOT being antisemites? Your whole ESTABLISHMENT is antisemitic, xenophobic and institutionally racist.It's no surprise, then, that Jewish powerbrokers in Washington (AIPAC and the like) want your country bombed to Kingom Come. Let me also remind you that a Jew of Persian ancestory, Shaul Mofaz, was the most hawkish minister in Israel before Olmert who advocated bombing Iran. Your country is rightly hated by Jews as much as any Arab country...For all intents and purposes, Iran is just an Arab country which speaks a different language (and almost as oppressive as Saudi Arabia).Your lame attempt to sellout Muslims by scapegoating Arabs as the source of all antisemitism and hared in the world is as pathetic as attempts by the hard right in America to marginalize the Muslim contingent....Don't worry about your grammar...you might wanna brush up on your history, Iranian.
