Anti-Americanism in Iran

[DaBownca]

Why is that a concern? I mean this country is in the middle of a strife that could cause civil war and the reporters are focusing on how they feel about us. While Im sure the sentiment exists I'd bet it isn't part of their daily discourse. "So how are you today?" "Oh I hate America as usual....and you?"

From what I read on here, the USA media report on a USA angle, sorry, what is so surprising again ?

Funny, how her elast night I was hearing about how most of the younger generation are Americanified, and they are queueing up by the droves to leave iran and flee to America. It's a place suffering from cultural Schizophrenia between the old values and the new world

Not surprising so much as exasperating.

Wait a minute. I need to tell you something and hopefully you'll listen. You're getting this from US media I'm guessing because it's absolute crap. Iran in fact is probably the most pro-American, young population (2/3 are below 30) in the Middle East. The interview I heard yesterday claimed that Iran in fact is THE most pro-American

People on the page chopped me at the knees when I said that they do not hate us on the whole. Most may tow the company line if asked, but on the whole they want to be like us. 60 to 70% of the populstion is under 30 years of age.. They have other concerns on they mind to deal with than just getting up every morning and hating the US. Most of them don't even remember the shah.

Of course Armen I guess I should've worded it better but Im saying basically if you listen to US media they'll have you thinking that all Iranians do is get on their knees at night and pray for death to the Americans.

"They have other concerns on they mind to deal with than just getting up every morning and hating the US."
Exactly my point big shawn

sorry.. i'm not fully awake yet and blew my lid hahahaha. yea this is some political bullshit just like the Cold War. The people of the USSR adored Americans. I was one of them.

[mhd]

well, it could not be more crucial, iran's attitude towards america and the west may shape the future of the world

stop it with the "people on the page attacked me for it crap" it makes you look weak. strong disagreement is'nt always an attack...

Point taken and understood, but I like to use the words I feel that best describe the situation at the time

An attack is only an attack if the person who feels attacked says it is

As far as looking weak? I don't mind that to be honest, most know already

Back on Topic though With this whole voting thing, I bet there is a line to try and flee the country:(
