Hi, Jadi

I don't know what to ask you. I'm 50 years old, I was born in the state of West Virginia in America I'm trying to understand what you are going through. I grew up in a poor family. However, I was able to work hard and a build a good life in my country. Ahmadinejad was in my country today. He angered me. However, I am not angry at the Iranian people because I don't know them. That is why I'm writing. I know you may not like Americans so I will understand if you don't respond. I would like to talk to someone in your country.

Hi friend,

I am glad that you wrote me. I like Americans :) There is nor reason to hate anybody in this world. People are People, anywhere. As you know many Iranians and specially the highly educated ones do immigrate to USA to study, work and live.
You may not Ahmadinejads views as Iranians views. There are few people in Iran who agree with Ahmadinejad when he talks about eliminating Israel or the absense of homosexuals in Iran. We feel ashamed of him when he talks like this and claims to be the elected president of Iran.

We do not have free elections here. Remeber Saddam, he was also the elected president of the Iran and if Ahmadinejad is elected by the 20% of the Iranians votes, Saddam had 99.9%!

In Iran we have police, we have prisons and we have tortue and execution so don't astonish when nobody tells Ahmadinejad that he is a lier when he says there is no problem in having a satelite reciever and people are free. But good news is if you browse Iranians weblogs (which has a little more freedom), you will see that many people are speaking about homosexuals anf if Iran let Bush to come to the Tehran university and speak against our ideologies :)

We are friends, we respect others and we love nature, freedom and peace. You may not here from us because MAINSTREAM media is not interested in us. They prefer hatred too. They love the photos of people who want to die for Islam not the people who want to live in peace. Oh! I have recently seen some changes in this pattern. These days we see more and more pictures from Iran in which people are shown as dissidents. For me this means WAR is comming. World should know that "People are not happy in Iran" so the war will justified. Let me finish like this: I am against the WAR. WAR will not help us.


P.S. I've also wrote some of my ideas (not that diffrent from what I'm writing here at Middle east youth.
