I hope that one day we can talk with one another with more peace and patience and we can bear the voices of the other people who are living in this country too.The second thing  is that why are you mixing different issues with one another, why do you think that we do not love our country, my brother fought for this country and became martyred and if any one dared to attack us we will fight with them  with our full power and strength, but this is another issue, the thing that I mentioned is that, we voted and we believe (of course according to different documents) that  lots of wrong things happened in this election and because of this there should be another election.I am not an enemy, I am not getting any support from any where and I adore my country, but I do not believe in this govenment, because as I said before Mr. Ahmadinejad not only destroyed the economy of this country by importing goods from China and serving Russia, but also made lots of wrong decisions in the internal matters of the country, and made Iran an angry country who wants to fight with all of the world and listen to no one but himself. If you are older than me so you must remember the motto of our revolution NOT EAST, NOT WEST, if we want to have an independent country, then we should not rely on Russia too, the country that played us many years for Boushehr plant.The other thing that you mentioned is about Israel&#039;s attack, as you see now that Mr. Ahamdinejad&#039;s second term has begun, Israel already bagan its threats to attack Iran, because of unreasonable and non realistic foreign and nuclear policies of our government.The other important thing is that, do you really compare Mr. Mossadegh with Mr. Ahmadinejad, did Mossadegh killed, tourtured, prisoned, ........ his opponents, did mossadegh said to his opponents that you will shut up or I will kill you?If you are a nationalist, WHICH I DOUBT and you read the historty of our freedom and democracy movements form Qajar times, WHICH I DOUBT, you never dare to compare such a great hero like Mossadegh with  a weak person like our president, who for his ambitions attack the dormitories of students once in a week.Sir we are living in one counrty, so we have to be able to hear the other voices. In the last sentence of your comment you threatened me, but I do not want to finish my comment with the language of threat, hoping that one day we could be friends and together we build a better tomorrow for our country.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Mr. Nationalist, or I&#8217;d better say angry nationalist, why are you so angry, I am not an enemy, I am a very ordinary, but educated person who lives in Iran and belongs to this country, I think that this events revealed that some people like you can not talk to their fellow counrtymen with rationality and calmness and peace, your sentences are like the battons of military men who are beatting the people every day in the streets.

Iran is THE pivotal state that is in their way of &quot;Full Spectrum Dominance&quot; of the Globe  by conquering Eurasia and its resources and to not allow China and Russia to become equal rivals.

Would they fight for their country or become the mercenary mob and the fifth column to rape their own country in the name of the subservient &quot;Trojan Horse style democracy&quot; like the ones in Belgrade and other &quot;color revolutioned&quot; countries?A true Iranian nationalist will ALWAYS say: cho iran nabashad tan-e man  mabaad!

We are the young and hopeful generation of our country and we certainly know that our votes were stolen in this election. It is not important for us that why your media try to enlarge our movement, this is your problem and you have to deal with it, but you can not just make this movement disappear by just connecting it to the 1953 coup d&#039;etat in Iran or the other ones. Another important mistake that you and some of the other professionals made is that you think that Mr. ahmadinejad is more favorable among the poor people, that is completely wrong, for during his 4 year term he destroyed our economy by importing goods from china. So if the people of US can not come to the streets for their rights, we came, and contrary to what you said there are lots of documents about this grand fraud in the election. I advise you to read Chatham House analysis about the election and also Mr. Robert Dreyfuss (The Nation) weblog, because he was present before, during and after election here and saw with his own eyes the structured military coup d&#039;etat that drwoned our hopes and desires. By the way your voice in your article is just our government&#039;s voice who wants to destroy this popular movement by sticking it to the foreigners.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With all due respect sir,  it seems that you are a very professional politician, but some of your views are not correct about Iran, you can not analyze every events in the history of a country like Iran with 7000 years of civilization with simply comparing it with the other incidents in this country or the other ones.
