    As a result, despite having rich natural resources and many educated people, Iran is one of the worst mismanaged and corrupt countries in the world. even the rulers send their children to live abroad, in the countries which, according to them, are enemies of Iran.
    I had a lot of friends from Iran in college including my best friend. He once had an underground rock band in Iran and played in secret under the threat of death. Eeeeeeeesh!!!! But I have always found the tensions between the US and Iran to be very sad. Culturally my Iranian friends and Americans had a lot in common. We especially share a common sense of humor. It should be easy for our countries to get along. Too bad.

    Now this country is being run by the crazy people just like Iran. I never imagined that I would witness what I am seeing here. Note how you are pretty much hated for a philosophy. That is insane! There is very good reason to hate trump. He is a dangerous thug and a dictator in the making. Trump is a dangerous despot. But they can't tell reality from fiction anymore. They worry about a philosophy... and wearing mask during a global pandemic.
    I'm ditching tPF. This is nothing but a right wing crackpot troll farm.

    The majority of them vote for politicians that would just as soon kill you for being an American. I also went to college with many of them of they would build up credits and then transfer to the top universities. Some were average Joes and some would not even talk to American students. There is no way to say they were all good or bad.

    I wasn't reducing this to absurdity like you do. I also said MY Iranian friends. Learn to read before answering out of turn.

    And I can't imagine why they would want to kill you LOL!!!

    Trumpers are far more dangerous to liberty and the free world than any Iranians.

    Interesting: Why do you embrace communism and how does it play in Iran?

    Well you had me up until you started proselytizing the free market and that vague phrase "limited government". That's like a a Muslim saying "I hope you appreciate the freedoms and benefits of Islam".

    Yeah, if they knew anything at all about religion they wouldn't speak that way to begin with.
