I tend to go with B-Chaney's analysis on this. Iran is dangerous do not get me wrong and I prefer the US as world policeman but with Trump today, well Besty I leave you to handle him. I would have preferred Romney or someone calm and dignified like him. As much as I thought Reagan was out of it, he seems compared to Trump to be just what the US needs-some titular calm person. Too much loudness. Hell I would take Ryan at this point. 1 Quote

Israel did the job right in 1981 using weapons and tactics that Iran had not mastered. The U.S. can provoke Iran into a military mistake and then it is game on. Israel can join in the fun if it wants to. educate yourself https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/trump-wants-to-push-back-against-iran-but-iran-is-now-more-powerful-than-ever/2017/02/05/9a7629ac-e960-11e6-903d-9b11ed7d8d2a_story.html?utm_term=.dbab0583a045 1 Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted February 9, 2017 Report Posted February 9, 2017 Iranian nationals seek medical procedure in United States for infant.....American nationals do not seek medical procedures in Iran for infants. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/08/iranian-travel-ban-baby-fatemeh-reshad-life-saving-heart-surgery-us 1 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
kactus Posted February 9, 2017 Report Posted February 9, 2017 I mean seriously how ridiculous is the argument put forth by some OP... An Iranian infant requires a delicate surgery whose uncle is an AMERICAN CITIZEN and this is such a big national security to the Orange Oligarch and his supporters that it needs attention on this forum.... Get a grip and get out of your comfort zone and perhaps do a bit of travelling instead of coming up with literally nothing to warrant a ban ordinary citizens.... This is preposterous! Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted February 9, 2017 Report Posted February 9, 2017 Uncle Schmuncle.....the point remains: Iranians seek medical procedure from the Great Satan nation. The U.S. controls its own borders....not Iranians or Canadians. Don't like that ? Tough bounce. 1 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
bush_cheney2004 Posted February 9, 2017 Report Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) Many, many Iranian nationals fled to the United States before and after the Islamic Revolution. Many, many American nationals have never fled to Iran. Quote In January 2006, the International Monetary Fund claimed that Iran ranks highest in brain drain among 91 developing and developed countries, with an estimated 150,000 to 180,000 educated people exiting per year. According to a 1999 study, the brain drain from Iran to the United States, measured by migration rates of the individuals with tertiary education, is the highest in Asia. http://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/iran-vast-diaspora-abroad-and-millions-refugees-home Edited February 9, 2017 by bush_cheney2004 1 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

It's not as if all those millions of Eyeranians in the US or the indigenous population in Iran at large are chanting death to America....Because you certainly give this impression.

No big deal...other nationals do this all the time about the United States, including Canadians. Iranians, just like Canadians all have generalized opinions about the USA and Americans, but they still emigrate to the U.S. far more than Americans go to Canada, and certainly more than they go to Iran.

marcus Posted February 9, 2017 Report Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) I think most people can distinguish between the governments and its people. Heard a clip of this on the CBC. I'm glad I found it. Zarif is an impressive speaker. Edited February 9, 2017 by marcus Quote "What do you think of Western civilization?" Gandhi was asked. "I think it would be a good idea," he said.

Have done so for decades... Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
bush_cheney2004 Posted February 9, 2017 Report Posted February 9, 2017 Despite President Obama's failed Iran deal, he nevertheless left President Trump with plenty of newly developed military toys (and upgraded old toys) to systematically destroy Iran's nuclear weapons development capabilities, military infrastructure, and civilian infrastructure. If the U.S. decides to bomb Iran, it will be with the latest American bells and whistles. Iran would not be happy. https://warisboring.com/the-u-s-air-force-has-lots-of-options-for-smashing-iran-s-nuclear-facilities-fa7812c0f28a#.pse08ubp3 1 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
