Comments From Readers On "Is Iran a Threat to the US?"
Here is another comment from a reader posted to this blog post. http://www.firewithfire.info/2006/09/do-you-believe-that-iran-is-essential.html
It has only been edited for readability.
I don't think that this author means this as a threat, although at first blush it seems to be. I think it is meant as a sign of pride. I think that this writer is saying that they will fight to the end to protect Iran and that Iran is so important culturally that if it dies the world dies from the want of cultural leadership. Did I interpret that correctly?
This is another interesting point of view and one that illustrates to the people in the West that we seem to be missing an integral understanding of cultural differences between the East and the West.
I wonder if any of the Bush policy makers in the Middle East have ever gone to protocol school to understand these important and highly misunderstood cultural gaps. It seems to me that maybe they have not as Bush has sent a woman to negotiate a peace in a region of the world where women are protected and cloistered from wider interaction with the male society. I do not see any Saudi or Iranian women in their State departments acting as chief negotiators. This seems to be one huge misstep and lack of understanding of cultural differences right there.

"The US government and think tanks are not only threatening Iran with war almost everyday, but they have their Army bases spread across the Middle Eastern countries surrounding Iran. What will YOU do with this language of threat? Let me translate a poem from a great Iranian poet to enlighten your thinking about the Iranian people in case of being attacked, it says: "I will die if Iran dies. Everyone shall die if Iran dies."

You are right on! Bush has absolutely no clue about cultural sensitivity. I am shocked at his and his administration's lack of this both in the Middle East and in other places around the world.
