- synarchy, on 11/12/2007, -16/+700Wow, beautiful. I had no idea; figured it was a big desert. Thanks for posting, even with the misleading headline.
- tehxen3, on 11/11/2007, -26/+448Funny, I didn't notice any homosexuals.
- ddorent, on 11/09/2007, -23/+340i see what you did there.
- tehowe, on 11/10/2007, -25/+259Haha, clever.
- cr1t, on 11/09/2007, -9/+219Are these to be used as the before pictures?
- xXMetalJesusXx, on 11/11/2007, -12/+211I got to study Iranian Cinema in Film school....one of my favorite National Cinema's...very rich in Culture.
But when 95% of the population knows next to nothing about the country, it's a lot easier for the Bush Admin to demonize them. - Pacotheparrot, on 11/11/2007, -13/+204Thank you for posting this, it's time people stop feeling animosity towards their fellow man and instead directed it towards war-prone governments (both our's and Iran's).
- thelastknowngod, on 11/11/2007, -14/+200i saw a video of iran and i thought it was the most beautiful country. this confirms it.
- willemmulder, on 11/11/2007, -1/+141iranic.
- mrASSMAN, on 11/10/2007, -7/+113On another note, Picasa Web Album just keeps getting better and better..
Everyone needs to ditch Flickr - inactive, on 11/09/2007, -15/+115Scary stuff!
:P - inactive, on 11/10/2007, -19/+119It's nicer than America! It MUST be bombed immediately!!!!!
- TekTrixter, on 11/13/2007, -1/+99I think a policy of disarmament is needed. We get rid of our president if they get rid of theirs. Sounds like a win-win situation to me.
- vinwal, on 11/08/2007, -9/+101Absolutely beautiful.
- phnx0221, on 11/09/2007, -16/+93Very nice!
- falese, on 11/07/2007, -23/+97did you look in the mirror?
- egthareal, on 11/09/2007, -4/+73iran looks strangely like southern California.
- zachshmack, on 11/11/2007, -7/+72Such a beautiful country must truly hate us for our freedom.
- DirtySnachez, on 11/07/2007, -30/+93Five bucks says the ***** Americans will still go to war with them...
- Asianwaste, on 11/10/2007, -9/+71It is clever... but likewise I can take some great photos of the great evil America as well. Let's just say both nations are great with both governments pretty ***** up and to each his own government, let's hang those mother ***** in office!
- rpi22, on 11/11/2007, -9/+62Sorry, i was being ironic.
- booyaman1, on 11/09/2007, -0/+52I think the point is that there is a difference between the people of a nation and their government. Just in the same way that we don't feel that we are responsible for every action the Bush Administration takes, the vast majority of the everyday citizens of Iran are regular people who just want to be left alone, work hard and provide for their families and live a happy and peaceful life. Once you understand that this hold true for the vast majority of human beings in every nation the whole planet over, then the absurdness of labeling entire nations as "evil" becomes obvious. Should the people of Iran be punished for the actions of their government? Should we?
- kashk5, on 11/09/2007, -1/+50At first I thought I was looking at some European country.
I thought that Iran was mostly desert much like the rest of the region. I know these pictures don't represent the entire country, but these are some very beautiful landscapes. - Ghoztt, on 11/10/2007, -9/+57Can we please, please not turn this country into a burning pile of broken buildings and broken humans beings?
kthnxcryronpaul08 - spiritofharvest, on 11/07/2007, -34/+80ROTFL!! I'm laughing for many reasons on many different levels. Damned "terrorists" get all the good countries...first Israel, now Iran :P
- pintomp3, on 11/07/2007, -8/+53to be fair, iran hasn't started in wars in over 100 years, so it's not fair to put them in the same war-prone category as us.
- xXMetalJesusXx, on 11/10/2007, -4/+48You're an idiot. It's showing a side of Iran that the popular Media refuses to show you. Real people living normal lives... not building WMD's and burning American Flags.
- SquigglyP, on 11/07/2007, -2/+46it was a set of photos of a bunch of suicide bombers standing in front of nuclear missiles holding signs that said "***** the US" and one of them was holding a gun to the head of a puppy. The background was really picturesque, which is why so many people are commenting about how beautiful the countryside there is, etc.
- mattewood, on 11/07/2007, -9/+52Maybe in Iran the homosexuals look just like heterosexuals... kind of like the GOP in America. :D
- SquigglyP, on 11/07/2007, -8/+50Are you kidding? Who do you think was taking the pictures?
- Dameleeman, on 11/09/2007, -44/+82Wow, I'm Iranian and this pissed me off. Those are beautiful pics but WTF does that have to do with them pursing nuclear weapons? These douchebag libs sit there and try to tell you that your ignorant and know nothing about Iran but the exact opposite is true. You dont know whats like to have to flee your home and entire life and fit it all in a few suitcases. To have all the money you've saved in the bank confiscated. The home you built gets taken away by the government and if you want to claim it your going to get bullied, threatened or killed. Assuming they can "find" your records, which they never do.
I dont think war is the answer but a nuclear Iran would be a disaster. You have no idea how ruthless, disgusting and deadly these Islamic extremist are.
And just for the record, I'm a libertarian and a Ron Paul supporter. - maja742, on 11/09/2007, -34/+72i can show you scenic pictures of nazi germany
- anti-net, on 11/08/2007, -5/+42Iran and the USA have a lot in common - they both have really crap governments.
- Influsion, on 11/11/2007, -7/+41"Those are beautiful pics but WTF does that have to do with them pursing nuclear weapons?"
That's the whole point. It's satire. They are making fun of the fact that there's no good reason to go to war with Iran. And pointing out its beauty, to give context.
For the record, I'm also a libertarian (small l) and a Ron Paul supporter. - Asianwaste, on 11/06/2007, -1/+34You kidding? You think they are drinking sand in the Middle East? Why else would millions of years of civilization exist in the middle of the desert? Baghdad was filled with a lot rich people before it got burned to the ground. Can't say much about the rest of Iraq, but its major cities were pretty boomin.
- inf0, on 11/07/2007, -11/+44There are more so called 'terrorists' in your own ***** government!
You've just exhibited the 'Cattle' effect, I feel sorry for you. I honestly do.
Iran looks beautiful.... Looks a lot less commercial than the US... that's a good thing... - inactive, on 11/10/2007, -3/+361) Remove head from ass
2) Look at the world around you
3) ????
4) PROFIT! - halohunter, on 11/07/2007, -7/+40Iran what is left of the Persian empire. Looks great.
- chyya, on 11/13/2007, -8/+39what a beautiful country. if only they could lose their jughead president. then again we have bush -_-
- ohcyrus, on 11/07/2007, -0/+27Tehxen3 was referring to a statement made by Iran's president.
- kamel, on 11/11/2007, -3/+30Sarcastic?
- mattsw84, on 11/08/2007, -16/+42Yeah, they have a diverse and photogenic landscape so there leaders are immune to developing weapons and bad intentions I guess. America looks pretty damn good to in pictures but we have some pretty damn destructive weapons. What is exactly the point of this, I have been to Iraq and I value human life as do most in the military but sometimes that is not a good enough reason to not intervene in some crazy dictators business. We do not engage in war with countries because they are ugly, just look at Germany, Japan, or Vietnam, those are all really great places. Baghdad is a pretty damn awe inspiring place as well. ***** just happens, see human history.
- SiNN4R, on 11/07/2007, -13/+39For 10 we'll go to war with you instead.
- theone3, on 11/10/2007, -1/+27Or it will soon if Bush has his way.
(blazing inferno) - theone3, on 11/07/2007, -0/+25If my dessert ran in to the beach I'd kill it, then eat it before it could escape.
- booyaman1, on 11/07/2007, -3/+28Well, considering good sarcasm has so much to do with inflection, tone of voice, facial expressions, etc, it is not always so obvious in plain text on a comment thread when someone is being sarcastic. I've experienced this myself in response to my own facetious comments enough that I've realized that expressing sarcasm in writing that is generally understood to be tongue-in-cheek by all who read it is not necessarily an easy thing to do.
- LimeParrot, on 11/06/2007, -0/+24Lots of people have the preconception that Iran is a dessert with tents. I learnt that first hand when I came to Australia... sort of sad =(
- formergthing, on 11/07/2007, -1/+24No, it was still propaganda, just the opposite of the kind that annoys you.
- chillypacman, on 11/06/2007, -0/+23Lots of people have the misconception that the middle east is just sand, heck, if you look at Independence Day they potray Iraq and show a bunch of tents.
