Massive US Naval Armada Heads For Iran

I love how Iranians run around calling themselves Persians. Yeah, right. You're not fooling anybody. All you're doing is showing you're too embarrassed to admit being Iranian.
It would be like Italians calling themselves Romans, lol.

Thanks for your response!Secret_Admirer said:Okay I am back from a day of fun in heaven with angles and I came across your great reply.
BRAVO niceguy. Well said. You said it for all.
Not to mentions that for US and Israel it is not only history, it is present time too (brutality). Somehow it seems (on this board) it is not brutality and violations of Human rights if it is done to other nations (Iraqis and Patentinians and Lebanese), but it is only brutality if they do it to their own people (which of course it is brutality too). No disrespect is intended as fuji is entitled to his opinion. I am just taking the debate to a different direction (reasoning).
BTW I visited Isfahan when I was a child. It was a treasure city. You are saying it is even better a lot now. It must be real great now. As I say if we remove these parasites and satanic agents (mullahs) from our homeland then Iran will be the best place to be. Friendly caring warm people with great hospitality not to mention all those beautiful brunettes (Persian girls) and delicious persian food (which I haven't tried either for a long time
As they say, Isfahan Nesfe Gahan (Isfahan is half the world)
GOD BLESS OUR HOMELAND FOREVER
You are a great treasure for this board and I like your reviews.
Yes, it would be great if those mullah's would be removed however I am losing my confidence in them leaving anytime soon.
Yes, Isfahan was much different this time around than it was 15 years ago (when I last visited it). Lot's of pretty girls
They also started to protect the architectural heitages better than before which is great. No more cars are allowed in the Naghshe Jahan square. There were highways everywhere.
By the way, I just finished eating Fesenjan!
No, they have just armed, supplied, and motivated others who do. Iran's not the only ones but they aren't innocent either. Without their backing of Hezbollah that whole summer war would never have happened.niceguy said:

Secret_Admirer, I feel sorry for those such as your self, who are basically in exile, so long as the “nut jobs” hold sway.
Iran is a fascinating country. But not at present.

You know KE I like you thus I am not going to get mad because of your insult, I will blame it on your lack of familiarity with Iran / Persia as a country. . . which apparently is rampant around here... so I will try to explain the name issue for "you."Keebler Elf said:I love how Iranians run around calling themselves Persians.

Persia = as a name started with Greeks in the fifth century using adjectives such as Perses, Persica or Persis for Cyrus the Great's empire (a word meaning "country").
Such words were taken from the Old Persian Pārsa - the name of the people whom Cyrus the Great of the Achaemenid dynasty first ruled (before he conquered and unified other aryan kingdoms) and of whom he was one.
This tribe gave its name to the region where they lived (the modern day province is called Fars/Pars) In Latin, the name for the whole empire was always Persia.
Also in the Bible, where this kingdom is frequently mentioned (Books of Esther, Daniel, Ezra and Nehemya), it is called "Paras" or Persia.
Although for us, the name "Iran" is a very dear and respectable name, but the change in the international name of our country, from Persia to Iran, has created a detrimental gap between Persia and its historical and cultural past in the minds of the people of the world. Let me explain!
In the West today, there are very few people for whom Iran and Persia connote the same meaning. Contrary to what the government officials of Persia believed in the 1930s, at the time they requested official name change, in the West, not only are people not aware of an association between the name "Iran" and the "Aryan" they are not able to association between the name "Iran" and the "Persia" . . .
in another word if you say Persia they understand that the name "Persia" is for Iran, not the vise verse as phrases such as Persian Carpet, Persian Gulf, Persian Miniature, Persian Garden, Persian Cat etc.. have all been entered in world encyclopedias.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_naming_dispute
We must therefore observe what effect this name has in the minds of foreigners, not in the minds of Persians. (since the ancient times,when we Persians ve' been talking to each other, we always call each other Iranians and referred to our country as Iran )
We must not be prejudiced and think that only because we ourselves use the name "Iran", foreigners must also say use the same name.
On an international scale, many countries are called by a name different from that of their native names (so I am surprised in some ways why this seems to be strange to you!)
The people of Egypt, for example, call their country "Al-Misr," but their international name is "Egypt", two names that are in no way similar. But Egyptians have never forced other countries to say "Al-Misr!" For they know that, with its ancient civilization, their country has become known to the world as Egypt.
There are other cases such as:
International Name vs Native Name
India vs Bharat
Germany vs Deutschland
Finland vs Suomi
Greece vs Hellas
Japan vs Nihon

The mistake with iraq was the charade that the US wanted to create a democracy there. thats why they got bogged down.
with iranistan they should simply employ a total war concept and take them out. We have the technology to lay waste to their infrastructure and ability to respond, deal with that first and then mop up the rest. There is no real benefit to sustaining any population as they become potential guerillas. All we really need is the oil so the US should drop all pretense and just , in the words of that Tv philosopher " Git'er done"

Just wait, one day when the US senses that the time is right and that the world is no longer in a position to object ( or they no longer care what the corrupt UN thinks ) you farkers will be fried faster than a sunnyside up egg in a diner. hump your camels now while you still have time.
You primitives are of no consequence and matter not to our worlds development. You will not be missed.

Is that some euroweenie word?? Maybe a link in danish might help.
Taunt all you want, I'm quite tired of hearing the blather from these inconsequential third world pissant countries. They matter not and contribute NOTHING to earths development. I couldn't care less if you are tired of my discussion points, you and yours are beyond redemption. I post so others may question the wisdom(?) of the current appeasement approach and offer a plausible alternative. Eliminate the infection before it consumes the host.

Curious, that you consider others inconsequential, because that is exactly
what you (or your Terb persona) is. Your blathering about nuking this and
that and killing everybody of a different faith, is only that, blathering,
and totally inconsequential.
Maybe the logical first step for conservatives, before nuking any country on
the other side of the world, would be winning an election in Ontario, or even Toronto.
Your 'kindred spirit' Adolph tried that approach awhile back.LancsLad said:
