3) Should Iran receive credit for weakening Iraq in preparation for the 2 fights Iraq had with America?
IMO iraq will give bounoces from other countries to weakening iran and after that attack Kowit
and in Imposed war iraq destory many places an d poeples and must pay punishment but nothing pays iran yet

4) If you were forced by some diety to go back in time and become a soldier, which would you select: to be a Persian trying to fight through the Spartan roadblock at Thermopylae, a regular fighting in a battle against Alexander of Macedonia, a soldier in the Iran-Iraq war, or a modern soldier in the possible upcoming fight with America?
I like defencive roles to prefer to be a solder in iraqi irani war
don't like perfome my duty in war that invaders succesed
i don't know aboout future and wish no war occur but if us attack iran I be a solder because i'm a university student in war time governmet can call all university student to war
better don't say anything about next war but be sure that all iranian will defend thier land by any means

5) For a payment of $50,000 upfront for yourself and another half a million for your family upon a successful mission completion, would you join a terrorist squad working in Iraq to ambush American security forces? (if you've already been signed up and have sworn to secrecy, go ahead and skip this question) :)

you don't understand the aim and goal of muslim terrorists
they don't terror for gaining money they do that for satisfieing God
so your question is not correct

In Shi'a islam don't allow to kill yourself unless in a battle that allowed spritual leader known by the name of Imam in other word only Imam can allow muslims to go war and IMO terrorist actions in Iraq is war but not conventional war
so without a permission of Imam or his succesors by the name of Vali Faghie nobody can go to war as a shi'a muslim

so remember that maybe some terrorists take money for terror but muslims only for the sake of god perform terrorist actions and completeness or uncompleteness of action is not matter, only performing it with allowance of Imam and other condition is important not other things
 
PersianBoy, thanks for trying to answer. About questions #1 & 2, I'm not asking who attacked who, when, where, what extremist religions were involved or boring politics or whatever. I'm just asking who do you think technically won the fight, Iran or Iraq? To me it looks like a perfect draw. Iran had more losses I think but Iraq had good damage too.

For #4, probably America will never attack Iran cause there is no reason and people are so scared of war now. But I think war can make the news interesting instead of just repetitive terror info and politics.

As for #5, you misunderstand my question. Everyone knows terrorists do terror attacks for religious/political reasons but I'm just asking that question as it is. I'm not interested in religion and politics cause it's very boring. My question is just would you become a terrorist for good money? This question is not serious. Just for conversation.

well sort, are you saying that youre family is a part of the 5-10% of religious people?

and if so, then youre not a part of the majority, how nationalistic are the majority of iranians, and how do they feel about arabs (i think you covered islam pretty good), any feelings of resentment towards them because of the 80s war?
no my family like thier way but not me. I like modern way and western way.

Iranian don't think Irani- iraqi a irani-arabi war
they don't like arabs because they wanna to rename the persian gulf although they know that persian gulf always in history had been persian gulf
they think arabs are not brave man and are fearfull
before islamic revolution preislam time has too much important and many poeple remember that time so even today governmetn don't pay attention like that time but poeple remember that things has said about preislam time

every man in iran have a trend for fundamentalism or modernism
this sence in election time increase because modern or fundamental groups encourage poeple to think about and then go to elect president

for relation of iran and arab i wanna to mention some thing
as you know before islam only poeple of arabia pesilvania talking arabian but after islam all the north of africa and midlle east except iran talking arabic (about 900 years ago muslims capture place that today named turkey and so I don't count this country) as you know islam spread from indous river to atlantic ocean and from atlantic ocean to iran borders all poeple speak arabic even egypt with high civilization (i mean majorities not minorities) for saving persian language up today many poeple try and this caused after iran every nation have its languages afghans speaking Pashto, Pakistanian speaking Ordo and else
about 300 to 400 year official language of iran will be arabic
this is not in religion to speak arabic but some time arabs encourage others to speak arabic except thier ex language and for atlantic ocean to iran's border this true and poeple change thier language but not in iran and poeple return to thier original language although eith some thing from arabic but arab poeple don't like this and said that iranians become non muslim and iranian dislike this thing because they know that religion don't related to language
arabs also don't like iranian because they speak persian not arabic and so this caused ununity

arabs claim that every thing from golden age age of islam is belong to arabs like ave cina and other scintific poeple and also claim that many things invnted in that time is belong to arabs like alphabet and numbers but they are originally iranian and indian
there is a sence in iranian that arabs wanna to capture all things belong to goden age of islam
also in civilization said that golden age of arabs but iranians don't think so and think that was golden age of islam
maybe this is because of nationalism invented in west
before coming nationalism to muslim countries there was not a sence of nationalism in muslims countries because they think only they are muslims anf shi'a or sonni

without knowing the situation you can't judge perfectly
after islamic revolution no thing was in its place in Iran
so anybody can say that we have chance that our country don't destories in war.
I accept that Iran get too much losses because Iran id defender but with an eye in Iran' situation in that time I can say that iran will be the winner
compare iran's situation with Russia after revolution
they give some republic and many of thier land to germany in WWI to gain peace only
but iran don't pay anything to Iraq for peace
maybe iran suffer too much but not a meter of iran loosed
I accept that iran get no land but loose no land too

in previous war between iran and iraq in pre-islamic revolution Iran pay some land in region that Kurds live to Iraqies to access peace and this in a situation that US and western countries support iran (we have some F-14 an others from that time)
but in this situation noone support Iran

for your answer I soppuse that action performe completely and without casualities to terrorists (if any casuality to terrists in this case i loose my life or any member of my family loose thier life never, I have not half a milion but if i have, consume all of it for my family)
in any terror some poeple kills and maybe this poeple be innocent
so in Islam say that if anybody take a person's life, he will be in hell
so I don't like gaining half milion for a short time of living in this world (yes I believe in Paradise and Hell and other religious things)
but if poeple who kills in a terror not innocent this differ
every Shi'a muslim has a religious leader that must obey him in all life
sometimes this leader say that one person must be kill in every time and situation that any Shi'a muslim find him or he don't kill that person perform a sin
so I prefer in this situation change my religious leader or if all of the religious leaders say that person must kill, I perrefer to be sinner then a killer
is this enough and if I understand your question.

so if yes can I ask you why ask this question and what is your answer for question
do you kill poeple for half a milion $

Why do you guys hate Israel so much? ( sorry if thats been asked before)

muslims think other muslims are like thier brothers and if some one kill your brother or attack him other brothers must help him
so fundamentalists of iran hate israelies because they think israelies kill thier brothers but majority of poeple don't think israelies kill thier brothers and so they don'y hate israelies
all things that you probebly watch in your media about iran is about fundamentalists of iran
I wish you read my previous posts about fundamentalists

To highlight the issue of motivation for people at the frontline of terrorism, I would suggest you point to motivators other than money.

It is much easier to understand that people are coerced into acts of terror through blackmail either by threats to family or involvement with drugs rather than being a simple wage slave when it comes to acts that will take the terrorists own life.

However, having said all that, all evidence in relation to Islamist terrorism is that the frontline is populated by believers.
 
Oh, forgot to mention. My only benefit of persian lessons was when I read a Roman chronicle of Ammianus Marcellinus. At one point, members of some tribe jumped at the emperor shouting "marha", "marha". Thanks to You and your mentioned hatred towards Israel (marg bar Esroil! Marg bar Emriko!), I knew what they ment :)

all my muzic sources is internet and speed of internet in iran is not high so i can easiely download muzic but video is a little hard and need more time
but i can buy some CDs from market contain muzic videos and I have plantey of CDs and have 3 CDs of Britney and 2 of Shakira

but because of language most of poeple like to hear and watch iranian singer live mostly in US like Dj Arash and Dj aligator, they sing in persian

Iranians call UK old colonist and old fox and they don't like british so if you travel in NZ passport you will be in more walfare because if you travel to Iran by a Uk passport, many poeple in iran ask that why Uk is so bad man, but with a NZ passport they ask where is the NZ?

no direct fly from isreal to iran and you must enter from Dubai because imarat air have too fly to iran and if in your passport shows that your ex traveling country is israel may have some problem and on port you must assure that you are not a spy of Israel espicailly if you are a jew

I think coming iran with a white passport that shows you directly fly from you homeland to iran is a better way

last question you answered

if you will be in iran i will be happy to guide you if you wanna!

The problem is I would be coming from europe, but yes I see your points.
Next question is would my missus (girlfriend) have to wear clothes that covered her skin in Iran like in Saudi etc?
What restrictions are there on travellers to Iran if any? like places we can/cant go?
I may take you up on the guiding, thanks for the offer.

She would need to wear a rusari (headscarf), and something form concealing, like a manteau. It's not as restrictive as Saudi Arabia.
 
PersianBoy
Did you see the interview with Ahmadinejad's on 60 minutes?
What is the deal with Aug 22nd, I know about Mohammed return to Jerusalem, what Ahmadinejad got up his sleeve? Do you think he is going do to something insane?
 
Here's part of the script. I'll try to find a more complete video or written transcript.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/08/09/60minutes/main1879867.shtml

He despises the Zionist leaders (or as he says regime of occupation). Why? Innocents are dying on both sides. Hizbollah is displacing people as well as the Israelis have. How does this end? Secular government?

He said any country that imposes sanctions against Iran would need Iran more than Iran needs those countries. Why?

your GF must wear scarf and long clothes in public places but in private you and your GF are free to wear every thing you wish and also every thing to do!! :))
but in public there is some restrictions like can not kiss each other in public or have other sexual relation
if you go to beach your GF can not underss and wear swimwaer because wemens can not except in places restricted for wemen only and then you can not go
if you wanna to recive less restrictions go to Kiss island in south of Iran in persian gulf
here you can find some pics from this place

IMO you better come iran for visiting cultur and poeple not visiting your GF
