[NEWUSER]

I see the point being presented, but why did they have to make it so complicated like this?! I got a headache by time i reached the end..

[mirza]

the point is the bush admins and neo hawks and labrads or watever r so childish that they gotta explain it to them as a game like this

[NEWUSER]

^^ Good point lol

This is why most Iranians like me hate the Americans because of the very two reasons by removing Mossadegh from power and their support plus WMDS to Saddam that killed thousands of our men in service and civilians!. bastards didn't even apologise for their warcrimes!...

If only those Ballistic Missiles could of been launched against our worse enemy during cuban missile crises.

I don't recall the US ever commiting a war crime during the Iran-Iraq war.

I only count around 6 by the US, with the last during Nam.

Iran though, mined an American frigate and attacked neutral tankers, so that's a war crime.

Also, you can't hate the US if you like American movies, clothing, music, ect.

This is flaimbait to insult Americans. I am surprised that a moderator on a forum would post something like this. I'm mainly referring to the title Iranian History for Beginners & US Tenderfoots.

[Khaybar]

Seems the americans suffer from amnesia when it comes to war crimes, doesn't shooting down an Irani passanger aircraft and killing more than 250 civilians counts as a war crime? what about approving the supply of nerv gaz agents to Sadam's army?

Unless he's offended because he has actually voted for the guy. The problem is you'll never know cause the ones who did are ashamed for it and are in denial. :D

The moderators are more of censors to opposing view points on this forum.

Just fyi, didn't Alexander the great conquer Persia after all?

I'm pretty sure he did.

[Baibars]

Didn't the Persian empire attack the ottoman empire? And the Ilkhans who athough were not originally iranian did attack the mamluke sultunate on several occasions. I do beileve Iran/Persia has started wars.

Yes he did, but he and his companions could only stay in power for 80-83 years untill they were brought to justice and destroyed by a new Persian dynasty called the Parthians(Ashkaninan in Farsi) who ruled the Iranian empire for the next five centuries. After the rulership of the Parthians another Persian dynasty called Sasaninan whor were in power for more than four centuries untill the Islamic conquest of Iran.

Well, to be precise, the Parthians weren't exactly Persians, they were PARTHIANS, which is a seperate tribe of Iranic people.

You are correct though they were an Iranic tribe who were members of the Parni tribe, a nomadic people of Iranian origin, who originally spoke an Eastern Iranian language and entered the Iranian plateau from Central Asia.
