Does it say, “Death to America”?
My Persian gf said she had to say “Death to Israel, Death to America” pretty much every day at school (part of morning ceremonies). As well, the Israeli and American flags were painted on their floor to be stepped on.
Did you have a similar experience or was her school principal just nuts?
It says “Death to Israel”
What a bunch of losers? I can’t believe who rules our country. When I was a kid, these akhounds would come by people’s houses and ask for money or food. Nothing is perfect but I would like to call the times before IRI as the “good old days”…..
[...] Presenting…Clerics on parade Yes, goosteppin’ over the Stars and Stripes–but shouldn’t they be wearing pointed helmets? Check the Iranian site. [...]
Notice that they are goosestepping. Even old man Pahlavi who sympathized with the Nazis didn’t goosestep.
Yes, as part of my education I had to chant death to america “so loud so that america can hear it” I didn’t really want to because my uncles lived in America and while we visited them in 1985, it wasn’t such a bad country after all….. however the flags of america and israel and sometimes france and UK were also painted on the ground and there was no way you could go about the school without stepping on it. We learnt that chanting was more important than friendship and tolerance.
pic is taken back in 1981… nothing new there

Damn… what a perfect moment we missed to swoop in with AC-130 gunships and mop up these fascists!
Another lost opportunity…. we will one day count them all and weep if stand a side and do nothing..
It is a sad situation for the entire world. I keep hoping beyond hope that the Persian people will remember themselves one day and toss out the Islamofascists. Revolution inside Iran would save many, many lives in the long run and I, for one, believe that unlike Iraq, Persians would adopt a secular, Democratic Republic that would truly emulate the U.S. Constitution and be rid of Islamic dogma altogether.
Is there any hope or is war between Iran and the United States inevitable?
I hope Foehammer is right.. a democratic Irn would indeed be fantastic.. maybe they could exile these clerics in neighboring Iraq? To be honest I’d prefer to see them all dead [the clerics I mean]. They’ve done enough damage already!
THAT’S THE UNFORGIVABLE SIN OF GEORGE W BUSH:
:? He DOESN’T attack Islamism as the real within enemy.
:? Nothing did for stop the islamfascists of ACLU and CAIR destroy Christianism and liberal laws and judges force the students to swallow the Islamic shit in the classrooms.
:? And still allows islamonazists publications which prepare the war on American people disseminated by the Saudi Arabia in libraries of mosques, streets and bookstores for American muslims, preaching the destruction of America with its satanic ideology: anti-American antichristian, anti-Jewish, misogynistic, jihadist, supremacist.
:? Obvious: Bush family has oil business with the Saudi real family. Can we trust in a leader sharing interests with the enemy?
