(4,847 posts)Iran was letting up-in the film the female journalist interviewed women, one was a taxi driver; another was an artist (which was a no-no at one time). After 9/11, little boots comes out and declares Iran part of the axis of evil and starts the war drums playing for iraq. Iran, I believe because of little boots actions, voted in their own hard core nut job to counter our power hungry leader. Little boots is not dumb, he set Iran up in the PNAC game.
Remember that meeting little boots had with the taliban? It's all about corporate interests-they could give a shite if the country has a ruthless dictator; they just don't like people who listen to their people or don't deal with their business buddies. The assassination of the prime minister of iran, the assassination of the leader of vietnam, the promotion of pinochet, the death squads in central america. I think there are some in our government that only care about their own portfolio or profits for big business and use our money and government for their own agenda-they do not care about the country or its' people, just corporate interest.
Oh, and any neocon on the board, you want to drill, baby, drill in this country; well we are already exporting enough oil to other countries. Here's a clue, the oil companies get really good government leases, they drill, then they sell it on the global market. So, don't buy into the BS that our country is keeping our own resources.
