Iran has a authoritarian government based on their religion . They are a true danger in the middle east and its not about Israel , I became good freinds with a young woman from Australia who was born in Iran and still went back to vist friends from time to time . She worked for me for a few years on a exchange program. She was delightful kind and in general a great person . She told me about Iran 22 years ago and sense then I have learned about it . There will never be true safe peace in the middle east until they change . They understand force and power and look at non believers as either you convert or die, they think its ok to lie to non believers and their history clearly show it .
Yes they hate jew but they hate you pretty well as much . Now the people of Iran have been conditioned as many muslims have for example as the Saudis have also. I hvae deen how they act here and and most will do things here in America they would not dare do in the kingdom out of fear of reprisals . I think that irans younger generations would also bend given the chance.
