Persia and Iran is the same place, I know you all know this but there is a small chance an American might be reading this so they can learn an amazing new fact to amaze all their colleagues. In the Senate or whatever.

Look at that bloke 'Ahmed In A Jihad', weird how if you pronounce that properly in Farsi it comes out exactly the same as Ahmadinejad. But it is a coincidence, don't forget that.
Iran are the current pariah state for wanting to make nuclear bombs and pretending they only want power stations, it's so obvious that everyone looks upon them as imbeciles and crazy nutters.

Recently I have developed a slightly different view. Just put yourself in the position of an Iranian politician, all the kids want the internet and Bruce Willis films, Israel have these weapons that could utterly level Tehran at the touch of a button, and American forces are kicking their heels bored in Iraq, blaming Iran for every RPG that gets fired their way.
They are in the shit.

Historically, Iran or Persia have been pretty neutral about things, even now they are selling oil to Russia when their refineries are rusting to shit and can't even supply theirselves. It must be worth it since oil has become so expensive.

Iran don't hate us, they are majority Islamic and have all the laws associated with that ******ed fairytale, but the young people don't swallow it anymore. Sort of like here with Christianity.
I think these guys would be great allies. They are nuts but they're not stupid. Britain could go it alone and become friends with them without America's permission, like Thatcher did with Russia. They are sat right in the middle of our problem area for them suicide spastics and could help root them out for us and we could help them back with G3.5 fission plans, or sell them outdated Tornado jets or something. Jets we could easily neutralise but which would make them safe against most of their neighbours. (apart from those Typhoons we sold Saudi) Obviously we overspent on R&D otherwise we would never give them (Typhoons) away, but they are clearly only half turned-on because we also sold the avionics from the Eurofighter to the yanks for their Raptor. No way would the yanks allow 'A-rabs' the same avionics they have.

If I was a high ranking diplomat, I would learn Farsi quick-smart and get these fuckers on our side if I could. The media tries to portray them as evil and stuff but they don't look evil to me, just scared. Rightly so.

I want to be friends with Iran. Do you?
