Why are any of you surprised? It's on IRANIAN TELEVISION. Such bullshit should be EXPECTED of such a shitty-ass, third-world nation.
*GASP!* "They use propaganda to recruit soldiers to their military and terrorists to the organizations they support??? I thought they were playing by the same rules we are!"
Guess again, folks. Propaganda and public morale and support is a vital part of war. ANY war (for some reason, they recognize this while we don't). Their country suppresses ANY opposition to their war against "the zionists" and America. Anyone who tries dissenting with the government is soon arrested, tortured, and killed for committing treason and "crimes against Allah."
Not only do they have the subconcious fear of the government coming to bust their door down and snatch them away in the middle of the night, but they've been conditioned by shows like this since birth to physically hate "the zionists" and any other "enemies of the state."
It wouldn't matter WHAT either Israel, America, the UN, or ANYONE does. Thanks to this constant conditioning and strict propaganda, the majority of the country's population is going to seethingly hate Israel and its allies (primarily America).
And for some reason, a number of you on this very forum belive we can simply "negotiate" and "reason" with these bloodthirsty people. For some reason, you seem to think they've all had access to the same amount of "unbiased" information that you have and took the same steps to reach the same conclusion that "America, specifically George Bush, and Israel are the roots of all that is evil."
NEWSFLASH: THEY'VE GROWN UP WITH PROPAGANDA LIKE THIS SINCE CHILDBIRTH; THEIR OPINIONS ARE FAR FROM INFORMED, YET THEY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CHANGE WHAT HAS BEEN HARDWIRED INTO THEIR BEING SINCE THEY WERE INFANTS.
The United States could assume a completely isolationist role in terms of world politics; Israel could completely relocate to the Outback of Australia. It would not matter. The state-run media would still produce the same kind of propaganda to fuel hatred for us.
We do not make them hate us; their government makes them hate us.
Even if we comply with every one of their demands, their government will make stuff up to fuel their public's hatred for us.
I get so sick and tired of people blaming US for the perpetuation of conflict in the Middle East and think that if we simply give in to their aggressive actions, they'll want to sit around the campfire and sing "Koombaya" with us.
The moment we give in is the moment we sign our own death warrant.
We're in the middle of a war between clashing cultures--the West and the Middle East. I don't think I have to explain the differences between both since those are quite obvious; what we have to determine for ourselves is which culture we would like to see come out on top. Do we want a culture that respects the basic rights of every human being; allows information to flow freely from one person to another; and permits individual choice about religion, government, etc.? Or do we want a culture that sacrifices personal rights for the good of the many; restricts to what information people have access; and only gives people one choice in terms of religion, government, etc.?
They're ready to fight, folks. We're both in the game, whether we like it or not; we're both fighting the war. Isn't it about time we stopped dilly-dallying around with an enemy that has been poised to strike for decades now?
(Note: This rant was written at no one in particular in this thread, but rather was a response to so many arguments seen and heard in the past (some by forum member, but many from outside this place) that people tried to use against the United States in regards to the war in Iraq, War on Terror, and so many other topics.
It is now 2:49 AM, so this ending note probably couldn't have been worded much worse.)
