Our American people reacted with strong nationalism in support of President George Bush following September 11 attack. <BR/><BR/>Our present policy using the financial leverage and threat of physical attack has backfired over the last 20 years. This policy has promoted an opposite effect to the response we had anticipated; it has mobilized Iranian people in support of their government. We have been confused between our own national interests and those of Israeli Lobby. <BR/> <BR/>Senator Obama has recognized that the present hostility of our government toward Iranian people will not create a positive response. Iranian people all along have expressed their friendship toward the American people; while strongly have rejected the bullying policy toward their country. <BR/><BR/>Dialogue and frank diplomacy will create a positive response from Iranian people. <BR/><BR/>Iranian system at present is based on a brand of Islamic religion; it has been based on this religion since 14 century. A non-religious society has to grow from the rank of Iranians who live in Iran and fight for the Iranian people. To change the society, first you must educate the masses. Iranian revolution was not imposed from outside of Iran, it started from Iranian people who were disfranchised by the excess of the rich ruling class in Iran. <BR/><BR/> Prior to the 1979 Iran could not produce a single sewing machine needle; everything had to be imported from outside of Iran. In spite of her great oil wealth, few Iranians could afford simple things in life. Iran had very few Universities. In contrast, today Iran, may not be at par with what she should be, is proud and dynamic society. We Americans when we don’t like our system or our policy, we work hard to change it. Good Iranians would not ask the United State government to kill thousands of Iranian people and change their system so that the wealthy Iranians in the United States could go back to Iran and be again at their villas and expensive mansions. <BR/><BR/>Please read my blogs:<BR/><BR/>Are We Victim of Regional Politics: Israel, Arabs and Iran<BR/>http://straveler-myamerica.blogspot.com/2007/11/are-we-victim-of-regional-politics.html<BR/><BR/><BR/>Arabs, Israel and Iran: Stop War<BR/>http://straveler-myamerica.blogspot.com/2007/11/arabs-israel-and-iran-stop-war.html<BR/><BR/><BR/>What kind of Middle East do we want?<BR/>http://straveler-myamerica.blogspot.com/2007/08/what-kind-of-middle-east-do-we-want.html<BR/><BR/>And visit my Web My America the Beautiful<BR/>http://www.geocities.com/stmtraveler/PersianPardox.htmMy America Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12506562234214428100noreply@blogger.com
