It is important what ordinary people think about world and not what technocrat want to see about world. Today, world is going no where because of technocrat who is trying to give political direction and deciding on matters bease on their own narrow vision of what world should be, and has lost touch with reality.

VERY GOOD!

At one time this country had the wisdom and the good spirits to realize our need of a friendly power in SW & Central Asia. A strong Iran, once again allied to the US, would act as a check and a balance not only to Russian expansionism, but also to an unstable Pakistan, the Arab states and --the nation who I truly believe is going to become the biggest threat to Western civilization in the future-- China. The US needs to do some catch up reading on the history and politics of this region. We are bogged down over there and still we haven't a clue! An independent Baluchi state will further destabilize Pakistan. I can even see a war breaking out between Iran and Pakistan over something like this. As for Russia itself, America needs to remember that the Russians haven't changed a bit. They OFFICIALLY might have allowed their former Central Asian republics to declare independence; however, those counties are still well within the Russian sphere of influence, and it has been an old Russian ambition to have easy access to the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean. Look at how much territory Russia has already chopped off of Iran over the centuries: Azerbaijan, Georgia (once a Persian tributary), Armenia (for centuries under Persian cultural influence and an ancient flashpoint between the Sassanian and Roman empires), parts of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan that were once Persian. Does the US truly believe that any tiny republics formed out of northern Iran will be ignored by Russia? The problem with my country is that it is proudly ignorant of geography, history and geopolitics. We stumbled along blindly in Southeast Asia, and we continue to play the fool in the Middle East/Southwest Asia.Once again, I like this piece.

Dear Mr. Timmerman, Kenneth:

Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran {IRI} is an actual mastermind for creating unsafe and insecure world, and this matter of global safety and security cannot be ignored by any rational person and needs to be resolve, as soon as, possible in order to create a safe and secure environment for everyone. So, everyone can live in happy state of mind, and not to fear for their safety and security.

There are some think tanks in United State of America and in United Kingdom that they think by dividing Iran among different ethnic groups; it is plausible to diffuse the IRI threat completely and permanently. However, they are absolutely wrong about their philosophy of dividing Iran among different ethnic groups, there is a fact of reality that dividing Iran among different ethnic groups in Iran would not be beneficial for interest of US and UK, as a matter of fact, this policy of dividing Iran among different ethnic groups would be detrimental for the US and UK international and internal politics because Communist Russia is still alive, and wants to dominate the world with its communist ideology. Perhaps at this time, it appears that Russia is not interested to spread its fanatic ideas globally. However, recently Russia flexed its military muscles that still alive and still it has mighty military power and preparing itself to launch military strike against other nations outside of its Asian continent. Moreover, there is need to use extreme caution because Russia is supplying the clerics in Iran with nuclear arsenal so one day the theology state in Iran will use the nuclear arsenal against the West. Plus, Communist China is providing all kinds of support to the theology state in Iran in order to develop nuclear facility with intention of proliferating nuclear bombs and China is assisting the IRI to avoid United Nations sanctions. As a result, the US and UK have not win the cold war so far, and this idea of dividing Iran among different ethnic groups means, the US and UK will have to fight with different ethnic groups in their own soils because they are sleeper cells in the US and UK, as well as, the US and UK must confront enemies at their soils. Today, the US and UK cannot win the war in Iraq, and Afghanistan, how the US and UK are planning in case of eventuality to wage war against several terrorist and or rouge states? It is absolutely impossible.

All in all, it is a best policy and only policy to unit all Iranian people for one common just cause which is removal of the theology state in Iran which will lead to peace and prosperity for everyone. In case, there are think tanks that they think of dividing Iran among different ethnic groups without any doubt it will lead to total destruction of the US and UK because Russia and China will provide all kinds of mean to these fanatic groups to wage holy war against the US and UK. Consequently, the US and UK did not resolve matter of global peace, as a matter of fact, the US and UK contributed to its own destruction by their own miscalculation, and making poor policy for their own good.

What is so significant here that during Constitutional Revolution, in early 1900s, Morgan Shuster and Howard Baskerville plus other American citizens came to Iran to built Iran, and today there is need for same kind of mind frame in order to deal with the theology state in Iran.
