In this connection few protests taken place in Iran where leaders boldly stated that "Iran knows how to teach lesson to US". Now you again read my statement regarding "eye-ball to eye-ball" you'll definitely understand what i mean to say. Richard Stringer wrote: . Iran had enough trouble with Iraq. Dream on bro. Dream on.

Pakistan also sent its troops for the protection purposes in Saudi Arabia. Actually Ray, its not a "country" or a "nation" that is an ally of US. It is the "government" of a country/nation that is an ally of US. Pakistan government treated the relation with Iran and Iraq differently. Iran has a common border with Pakistan, Iraq hasn't and thats why priorities are different. Ray Kinsella wrote: Would it not be more inline with Islamic beliefs to examine the way in which the Iranian dictatorship treats its citizens If the citizens are happy and satisfied then no one reserve right to criticize them. I know that majority of people in Iran want to make it a modern, progressive Islamic state. Eventually, Iran will follow this path. Islam is misinterpreted when mixed with culture. Every Islamic country has its own local culture which has to take nothing with the religion. The way Afghan women lead her life is a part of culture and not necessarily religion. Ray Kinsella wrote: no hope of democratically changing their own circumstances to reexamine your relationship with Iran ? Pakistan relations with China and Iran are so good that we usually don't interfere in their affairs. Every where in the world both, China and Iran are criticized regarding human rights more than any one else. Pakistan is the only country that consider these matters as an Internal Affairs of their countries Imran Farooqui

                            Personally, I get tired of reading article after article in my American papers about "peace in the Middle East". I think the only practical path to peace in that region is to erect a big wall around all the countries, give everyone as many weapons as they want, lock the door, and throw away the key. In the end, some group will have wiped out every other group, and then you'll have peace. Peace in the Middle East is a joke. None of the countries there truly want peace. What they want is not to establish benevolent and tolerant relations between all the countries in the region, but rather for their adversaries to simply disappear. Until that attitude changes, peace talks are a waste of time and the area will continually be plagued with wars, violence and repression. Personally, I'd rather see my tax dollars spent on our own issues instead of wasting them interfering with countries who don't want peace to begin with.

                                Yeah, it's just so frustrating. Humanity has finally reached a point where we have the technology and the means such that no person on the planet truly needs to go without. And yet, worldwide, nations won't play nice long enough to make that happen. Chistopher Duncan Author - The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World (Apress)

Since Iran is a very good friend of Pakistan, here we consider this "dictatorship" as the "internal affair" of Iran. Still what i believe is that there are different kind of opinions among different group of people in Iran. Its not easy for the current government to change everything overnight, because hardliners can launch strong protests. By the way the best feature of your "dictatorship" is that it never cares about the "dictation" given by US. Imran Farooqui

                                      By the way the best feature of your "dictatorship" is that it never cares about the "dictation" given by US. "Dictation" given by the US is not the correct term. There simply is not one country in the entire world that follows exactly what the US says. (This idea of "dictation" is largely a ploy by the status-quo in a particular country to maintain power - by creating fear that if they leave power, the country's next regime will do whatever the US wants. But, as I've explained, there aren't any examples in the whole world of any government having their policies dictated by the US.)

In this connection few protests taken place in Iran where leaders boldly stated that "Iran knows how to teach lesson to US" Where do you get your news? There's virtually zero chance of the US making an attack on Iran. Any news to the contrary is largely fear-mongering to create support for the existing government.

                                          Personally, I get tired of reading article after article in my American papers about "peace in the Middle East". I think the only practical path to peace in that region is to erect a big wall around all the countries, give everyone as many weapons as they want, lock the door, and throw away the key. In the end, some group will have wiped out every other group, and then you'll have peace. Peace in the Middle East is a joke. None of the countries there truly want peace. What they want is not to establish benevolent and tolerant relations between all the countries in the region, but rather for their adversaries to simply disappear. Until that attitude changes, peace talks are a waste of time and the area will continually be plagued with wars, violence and repression. Personally, I'd rather see my tax dollars spent on our own issues instead of wasting them interfering with countries who don't want peace to begin with.

I also wish this also, Unfortunatly a lot of your diplomatic missions are pushed by trade lobbyists. If you could stop them the meddling would stop as well. Regardz Colin J Davies
