Here is a view of Irans history; especially its relationships with Western nations.
http://www.fpri.org/footnotes/1426.200909.bakhash.usiranhistorical.html ................................... From: "Curt Raymond" <curtlud...@yahoo.com> You're thinking like an American, our conflict with the Iranians goes back to the '30s when the Brits first started raping Iran for oil, then on to where the CIA thought it was a good idea to depose a secular democratically elected government and re-instate a madman intent on killing his own people. The kids of today have parents you know, and they've talked to them and learned what "the white devils" did to them. This is a region known for long memories, they're still squabbling over who said what 1000 years ago never mind things people actually did in the last century. Unfortunately as far as I'm concerned we've earned our situation with Iran, we've treated them poorly for the last 80 years and then expect them to just forget all that... -Curt From: "Scott Ritchey" <ritche...@nc.rr.com> Given the median age of the Iranian population (27 years), it's hard to believe events over 60 years ago have direct significance to them. Most of them were born in the current Islamic Republic. If these folks have heartburn about events during and after WWII, it's only because they have been trained to believe that way, not any actual personal experience.
