first, disregard for the dignity of the Middle East's people; second, losing sight of democratic values; and third, overlooking the complexity of international politics.

To enigma: Actually if you take into account that the geo-political makeup in the ME is derived from the outcomes of the first and second world wars, I would have to say that its America trying her best to drag the ME out of the 1950s. The average American does not want war. I also agree that the invasion of Iraq (at least under the principles it was executed) were wrong. However, somebody had to do it, and I doubt you and your kind have the guts to stand together for the common interest of another people. Signed - Veteran of the Kuwaiti success as you indicated.

Democracy means respect for the majority vote, not what Americans want it to be because they chose to attack a country. In that sense, they must accept the result. In the long run, there will be an evolution of the system in place and people will learn new ways of getting along. It does not need an injection from abroad, even if Iraqis did not have the right to vote before this war.
The dignity of people in Iraq is also important...to have safe streets, jobs and basic things like electricity. Oil money is not enough, there must be economic activity.

As I recall, the Soviet Union did not fall as a result of war. I am glad to see that you accept that Iran does not pose a military threat; and all the talk that it does is just scare-mongering and propaganda.

I think reader like Dave in Annandale is a general average example of how Americans are in denial and how they want to stay back in the old 1950's mentality, as the writer has pointed out.
America has in fact lost the last two wars of choice: Vietnam and Iraq. The first Iraq-Kuwait war was, at best, an unfinished business....until the last 3 years. Moreover, Uncle Sam is not winning in Afghanistan.
So, no matter how much fault you find with Iran and Iranians, it is about the wrongful projection of American power like a bull in a china shop....it ruins everything and it is bad for business, political or economic!

To Dave in Annandale, USA
Just remind yourself that it was not Iran that decided to attack another country and lose the war. The question put to the panel is about USA losing, not about change in Iran or the Iranian government.
This is a discussion and the comments of the writer are in response to the question put to the panel by its editors on the first page!

And the latest from that wonderful Iranian leader. I am sure this will prove to be a mis-translation but i'll post it none the less...
"Thanks to people's wishes and God's will the trend for the existence of the Zionist regime is downwards and this is what God has promised and what all nations want," he said.
"Just as the Soviet Union was wiped out and today does not exist, so will the Zionist regime soon be wiped out," he added.

"The fact that he is a resident in Tehran and is able to make these statements without let or hindrance from the Iranian authorities speaks volumes." Its great that he can call for the US to change its ways. Could he be the least bit critical of the Iranian government? Doubtful. Its easy to let people write about you if its only in a good light.

"It is time for Uncle Sam to catch up with the 21st Century!"
Iran is welcoming David Duke, the KKK member, to present a paper at a conference discussing the myth of the Holocaust. The Iranian president has said that Israel must vanish from the page of time. He has also said in reference to Israel "Just like Hitler, the Zionist regime is just looking for a pretext for launching military attacks" and "is now acting just like him." And then there is that "Great Satan" thing and the "Death to America" thing. Finally there is the 911 response that really blames America for it - ""What kind of anger was created that must have been expressed in that way? So no doubt there must have been some wrong policies that created a kind of hatred that became extreme," Khatami said. "The people of America should demand" that their government "moderate its policies, to improve and change some of it. And if that happens the situation in the world will also improve.""
Yeah - its the US that needs to catch up.

Yes, it is time to see the facts as they are.
America has made a lot of bad bets over the long time, and at a significant cost to its reputation, finances and image abroad. It is time for Uncle Sam to catch up with the 21st Century!

Dr Ettefagh has once again made a clear and helpful contribution to the the discussions on America's Mid East policy. The fact that he is a resident in Tehran and is able to make these statements without let or hindrance from the Iranian authorities speaks volumes.
