Being an American, I have had to watch my nation change from a Constitutional Republic into a suppressive socialistic democracy.
The USA government has become the enemy of Liberty at home and around the world.
They have become a very powerful DEMON.
The United states government has been messing around in the internal sovereign affairs of Iran since 1953 when the United States helped the British government overthrow Iran's democratically elected leader.
We did this so that the British could install a puppet leader into the Iran government who would sell cheap oil to the british.
In other words, the USA and British governments stole Iranian oil through manipulation of it's government.  The Shaw of Iran was the brutal dictator that the USA and Britain placed in charge of the Iranian people from 1953-1979.
In 1979 the USA and Britain authorized for Iran to be sold the nuclear reactor that we now accuse Iran of using to create weapons grade Uranium. In late 1979 the Iranian people removed the oppressive Shaw from their government and stopped him from abusing Iranian citizens. In 1980 Saddamn Hussein, leader and butcher of Iraq attacked Iran in an unprovoked war. The United states government immediately began giving Iraq weapons of mass destruction to be used to kill Iranians.
We gave them technolgy that would be used to cause suffering of the Iranian people on a wide scale. The USA and the British governments have continued their Illegal non stop assault against Iran since 1953, and the world needs to come together to condemn the USA and British governments. The world needs to demand that Israel disclose it's entire nuclear weapons program, and open it up to international inspections.
It's time to stop the USA,and  the British governments from assaulting Iran.   The USA and britain committed an act of war against IRAN in 1953, and they have been continued to assault IRAN'S Sovereignty ever since.

It's now everybody's turn!quote"In the latest US sanction, some countries can no longer lie that the US made them do it. Everybody can choose between doing business with Iran or with the collapsing US financial sector. If countries choose to do business with Iran the "waiver" allows president Obama to suspend the sanctions because he will discover that the anti-Iran attempt is adversely impacting the US national security interests. Of course, the real incentive to do business with Iran, during a potential US economic collapse, is the safety of being outside the US dollar and away from the collapsing US financial institutions. Additionally, those who want peace and not war have been given an implicit mechan ism to be heard by president Obama."

... Everybody can choose between doing business with Iran or with the collapsing US financial sector. If countries choose to do business with Iran the "waiver" allows president Obama to suspend the sanctions ... This is the first time that the US has offered an option to its followers in the direction of a waiver. It has vast ramifications of legal and ethical perspectives in empowering all countries to stand up and be counted on without the US coercion. The western mainstream media is certainly mute about the implicit option that can change the world's destiny in 2012. Except for comments in and about #3 post, many hot-headed comments are missing the boat to focus on something other than their preoccupation of thoughts. Who is going to talk about the new things of potential values to humanity?

This is not your personal forum Ellis. And it is a long stretch from your fantasy of truth to truth. This darkness is what surrounds you, it eminates from you. For thousands of years the jews have mistaken humble as weakness to be exploited. It worked short term, planetary wise, that short term has concluded. Now the exploitations have turned against these creatures and if it is nuclear energy that is what stops them as all signs indicate, nuclear war it is. As nuclear has been used against others to benefit Israel in all wars including the Iraq war, as phosphorous has been used against those weakened because zionists took away their weapons, so will this very energy be used against the zionist in these human beasts. Strike them where they are defenseless, not where they have secured safety nets.  The truth is no protection against zionists.

TRR i.e., Tehran Research Reactor enrichment level for uranium rods is at 20%. Design of conventional fission nuclear weapons demand enrichment level of 90%. So! why?, is everyone fretting. Even if?, Iran were to obtain the aforementioned "weapons grade material" in sufficient quantities,does anyone believe Tehran will start a Nuclear war, that the U.S. ,U.S.S.R., & P.R.C., as well India, Pakistan, DPRK, have steered clear of.

“Your out of your mind Ellis.
Or your a propaganda machine. No one rejects the truth in ignorance, absolutely no one, for truth is light that always forces all darkness to give way. Especially those with deeds so criminal, they refuse to come into the light for fear their deeds will be exposed. For they so love the darkness that they refuse to give you any light, as they hope upon hope in their hearts that you forever remain in darkness.

EMPIRE --- IN FULL GLORY The more nukes Iran had in its war chest, in the eyes of the Western world the greater justification would Empire USA have to bomb Iran out of the oil business and increase US long range profits in the oil industry. For the US could not care less what anyone thinks who is not in the West, especially those who have no love for the West. For USA is an Empire, one in full glory and power.

BOMB BABIES IN IRAN --- LOVE A GOOD WAR Before Empire Israel USA would bomb Iran, the following probabilities must be in play: (1) The boost in the economy resulting from having to replace all the bombs and war materials expended, this must equal or exceed any damage that such a war could cause to world markets and the US economy. (2) The voting majority, the 51% most educated, wealthy and greedy, as they so love a good war that enhances their great jobs, terrific homes and deluxe healthcare, corporate owned media must be able to suppress such a greed driven desire as to go for full oil ownership by a full invasion. It being both a military impossibility and financial bankruptcy. (3) Long term profits and “stability” of investments in the oil industry, they must be enhanced by bombing Iran out of the oil business, as this is the only purpose for doing what would otherwise be a most insane and unproductive endeavor. (4) The laboring class of America, we the 49% of society with no education with some high school, we must be fully informed by corporate mainstream media that by all the baby bombing that will be done in Iran, that we will be saved from terrorists unending and nuclear attacks pending. Not that we slow and careful thinkers will believe it, but so that the 51% most educated and wealthy will be fooled into thinking that we who labor are so gullible as to believe it.

What does a nuclear Iran means to the US and the rest of the world? For one, Western countries will think twice before invading Iran, Iran could ship the final product to whomever they want (Hamas, Hezbollah...). The world military power would be a little bit more balanced. Think about it who in its right state of mind would dare invade North Korea or Pakistan? Let alone China and Russia. That's why the West won't stop at nothing to prevent Iran to go nuclear. Does Nuclear Iran would offensively bomb Israel or The US? NO, that’s pure propaganda. I don’t know about you guys, I say let Iran build whatever they want, and If any country decide to invade them, at least world would see a fair fight.

The Day the people of America will seek the reason and motivation why Israel is the only friend they are trying to protect world peace will be possible.
Global peace will be reached ( they are actually not the real Jews people named in the bible) when the world community begin asking few questions about that so-called Jews community. It's a big liars.
Why Hilter did not like Jews people?
Why Jews people are the one pushing America to every type of wars?
Why every politician in America want to please the so-called Jew state of Israel?
Why the so-called Jew state is always in middle of every world conflict?
Why should the American people support the war agenda of that little country of Israel?
Why Israel as arrogant can do whatever it want?
Should American Tax payers money be used to killed other human being just to protect a little nation of Israel which appears to be one of the most arrogant nation on earth?
Answers to above questions will help to move forward to a true world peace.
I don't think this has been done for the Jews people but for the so-called Jews people. The Zionist is a group of evil people who care only about one thing: MONEY AND MONEY
America needs a change and deep change.
In conclusion not matter who will be elected as long the Jews, the bankers, the military business complex are the way to corrupt politicians this country will never find its way to true values of the founding fathers. America is about Liberty, Freedom, Self achievement not about that oppressing oligarchs who have took over millions of people lives by feeding them every day with poison news.
BUSH = OBAMA = MURDER = CRIME = FALL OF AMERICAN EMPIRE

BALANCE OF POWER --- IRAN PERFECTION EU
“Give nukes to Iran for free, after what I
ran gone through. They deserve it.” For only one reason has Empire USA not bombed every government building and military base in Iran flat to the ground, surely the world shall put such an insane Empire in such sever sanctions that bankruptcy would cause the US military to be sold for scrap steel. And this highlights the wisdom and brilliance of the moral government of Muslim Iran, to have so powerful a defensive military that no Western nation could dare invade Iran, while having no offensive weapons giving it a first-strike ability to attack any nation opposed to Iran.

DEMOCRACY --- 51% SLAVE DRIVERS All of the Western democratic nations using criminal sanctions to commit acts of war against Iran’s economy, they have one thing in common --- a voter monopoly. VOTER MONOPOLY
The 51% most educated and wealthy always voting to plunder the world and to impoverish the lower half of society. NEW LAW
The 25% most wealthy shall not be allowed to vote, hold public office or have any involvement in politics. This will allow the impoverished lower half of society to have a full half of the vote and 50 percent control of government.
