Furthermore, who sais Ahmadinejad is so popular? Just because you are shown scenes of tens of thousands of hysteric Iranians in rural provinces from south to North and West to East, cheering their president during his frequent visits to the provinces? Is that enough to convince you that he enjoys the support of the majority of Iranians? Well I have news for you! Don't ever rely on the number of people you see taking to the streets to determine statistics as far as how many of a population are pro and how many are anti. Iran has 70 million inhabitants, and if one to two or three or even four million should take to the streets in support of Ahmadinejad, it does not by any means necessarily indicate that he enjoys the support of the majority! All you need to do is to stroll around and talk to people in Iran, and you will find that they're not fond of either Ahmadinejad, U.S./Zionist warmongers, or the ludicrous Iranian "opposition" in exile. The Iranian people want a strong, independent, advanced and progressive Iran, and peaceful relations with all the countries of the world. <BR/><BR/>I recommed all people who are interested in an ancient and most spiritual civilization, to visit Iran, and you shall see what many foreigners have already discovered which is a lovely, fascinating country with the friendliest and most generous people in the world. No people in the world can match the Iranians when it comes to kindness, hospitality, generosity and helpfulness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-43816293518113395422008-05-06T13:46:00.000-07:002008-05-06T13:46:00.000-07:00Thanks for beautiful pictures,<BR/>But where is the 5th image,<BR/>for other Uramanat images, go to this location, www.worldisround.com/articles/73022/photo2134.htmlMasoudnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-7271684790672754952008-04-29T06:32:00.000-07:002008-04-29T06:32:00.000-07:00To Rabbit,<BR/><BR/>You're bullshiting. Ahmadi Nejad HAS made repeated threats against Israel, and none of it is media hype or "zionist" propaganda. I could just as easily said that everything Bush and Cheney have said was twisted by propaganda. If YOU have done any REAL research, and not just listened to your Iranian friends or read Iranian sources, you would see this. But you're too ignorant to see it, and too anti-American to see any other point of view. Don't hit me with that "show proof" forum-retort BS because arguments like yours don't need proof, just opinion, and any proof i'll dig up you'll dismiss as "propaganda."<BR/><BR/>People outside Iran get a very limited perspective of this country; they only ever hear about it when Ahmadi Nejad has made a new threat (or repeated an old one) against some nation (usually Israel). In much the same way, you, an Australian, experience America only through television; a brief injection of an outside culture, a background noise in your Australian life. You got as much ability to judge as an American does.<BR/><BR/>Iran is a beautiful country, and its a shame the political climate makes it difficult for people to experiencing it. As in Israeli I can't travel there (I heard Israelis visited Iran with a European passport) though I would very much like to.Asaf, Israelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-73569151770060642342008-04-11T08:55:00.000-07:002008-04-11T08:55:00.000-07:00very beautiful placeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-87539773066371238622008-04-03T15:47:00.000-07:002008-04-03T15:47:00.000-07:00Sorry to all for speaking of politics! But as an Iranian I must tell some words to you; especially if you have read words of the other Iranian commenter, the Rabbit one!<BR/>Iran is a beautiful country as you can see. And it is a historical country of course. Even in holy book the name of our old kings mentioned who had have a fair manner of doing things.<BR/>Today the problem with Iran is islamic fundamentalism. Those Iranian hate even Iran itself! Can you believe it? The governments of Iran with presidency of Ahmadinejad are making a dam (named Sivand) to destroy some of our old pre-islamic constructions (named Pasargadae)! Can you believe it? This is happening in Iran. If you do not believe me see this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sivand_Dam! And do not believe anyone that telling you the governments in Iran are any kind of good!<BR/>Cheers!Kaveh Shahbazianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05485737252432475634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-10527542116497785472008-03-25T09:17:00.000-07:002008-03-25T09:17:00.000-07:00It is really stupid to discuss politics here in this blogg. Why people don't just enjoy the magnificently pictures posted here. Thats is what this blogg is for. This is really a amazing country which I hope can visit soon. It doesn't matter which kind of religion they adopt but respect it by all foreigners to it. Every country has its up and downs and we are not here to judge it but just admire the most amazing sceneries that nature and mankind have done. If we want to discuss politics there are many bloggs out there for this purpose, just respect other peoples work. If other people already recognized that they didn't know Iran was a such beautiful country why criticizing then.<BR/><BR/>For the owner of this blog you did a great job posting these pictures.Josenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-7582687734493277392008-03-24T08:31:00.000-07:002008-03-24T08:31:00.000-07:00thanks a lot Michael. iram is a very nice placeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-57614999022325672302008-03-16T02:44:00.000-07:002008-03-16T02:44:00.000-07:00Such a great country,,, really beautiful!!

The Shah was in power then. Most of my time was spent in the country. I got to know the rural people. I feel that they would compare to most all of the rural people that are in the USA.

It just happens to be ruled by a despotic regime. In that vein it's similar to Germany. Germany is also a beautiful country with a decent populace that also once upon time had been ruled by a despotic regime that eventually threatened the world's stability. And back then, many people thought Hitler himself was a decent, intelligent man who hugged puppies and adopted babies and liked to dance and twirl in the rain. Only hindsight would prove to us what a monster he truly was. The same will probably hold true for Ahmadinejad (who really is just a figurehead) as well.<BR/><BR/>We're seeing history repeat itself, and once again the Jews are the scapegoat. What a shame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-31703851921834965932008-02-28T14:40:00.000-08:002008-02-28T14:40:00.000-08:00To Rabbit<BR/><BR/>You're lack of information astounds me. I have lived in Iran and have all of my family there, but have gone to college here. Let me set it straight. Ahmadi Nejad is a pig for lack of better uncensored words. He has screwed Iran ever since he gained power. There is a reason why no one in Iran is able to access the video of Ahmadi Nejad's promises of what he would do when he came into power. For example, giving out free oil to Iranian citizens. Right now, as of Thursday, February 28 2008, Iranians are in terrible shape. You obviously have some corrupt friends as the only people who are pro-government have some kind of family, financial, or religious link.

If Iran has been so seriously misrepresented to you as it obviously has before now, doesn't it occur to you that their very popular (by our standards) President has also been misrepresented?<BR/><BR/>Ahmadi Nejad has been lied about endlessly. If you bothered to research a bit you will find he is a very decent, wise and well spoken president. He has NEVER threatened anyone, let alone Israel, his words have been twisted by Zionist controlled corporate press and the constant claim he threatened to wipe Israel off some map, is pure unadulterated bulldust.<BR/><BR/>If you want crazy you maniac, then how about reading some of Bush or Cheney, or indeed most of the present crop of US presidential candidates ramblings. Then go read the text of the excellent and reasoned letter Ahmadi Nejad personally penned a couple of years back, to Bush and which of course was also misrepresented. They even lied about its length which was NOT fourteen or seventeen pages but a just a handful of well written and very inspiring prose.<BR/><BR/>The ignorance of so many people these days is astounding, frightening and not a little disgusting!<BR/><BR/>By the way I have always known what a beautiful country Iran is, I have a number of Iranian friends who long since told me of it. The thought that such philistines as American pig dogs and their nasty lackeys might destroy and harm such a country and race fills me with loathing. As an Australian it is even self loathing.<BR/><BR/>F**K, where do I get off this crazy bus!<BR/><BR/>To the blog owner thanks for shining a light into the darkness of western minds, for what little good it will do.Rabbitnoreply@blogger.com
