Known truthfully only to him and if loyal to one side would NEVER confess the whole truth to the other.
The world grows weary of aggression and particularly USA and IRAN that fight these aggressions on certain principality. It is these principals that Iran dislikes USA. It is on the same principals that USA dislike Iran. Death and destruction, because of misunderstandings and the very means at which death is carried out is a difference !
Hatred is broadened by the governments as giving peace or giving violence as a means to curb the misunderstandings or alienate them….Government in many countries are corrupt and I do not have the power to say which government for I am just a local person praying for peace.
Our world is slowly being destroyed for far worse things than government leadership principals. Our world needs mending, organizing and concentrating on creating solutions to the problems we all have: 1 starvation; 2 famine; 3 over consumption of natural materials; 4 pollution; 5 sharing wealth with less fortunate countries on a broader scale; 6 creation of groups from different countries with commonalities for all, not just a few to reverse this world of material problems and finally; 7 learn about each other and care for each other on a genuine basis. We just do not care for each other because of fear of the unknown !
Is the confessing part of a life long mission to contribute to the hate between USA and Iran, we will never really know.
What are your thoughts !
Poor Hekmati will now have to wait until the US captures an Iranian gamer visiting relatives in the US, so there can be a swap. Unfortunately, the swap may not occur if the detainee happens to be a nuclear scientist too.
Darius Kazemi should probably reconsider plans to visit his grandparents, or else simply meet them in the UAE.
Move aside, Rosetta Stone. The GIs and Marines are evidently getting a lurid sort of linguistic emersion. Perhaps the games depict war as a car chase, complete with road rage epithets, or as a Chuck Norris flick screenplay, where the hero mows down row after row of baddies.
People foget that the US really did try to rescue the hostages in 1979-80. The copters failed, and it was a wild gamble to suppose that the militants would surrender the captives without trouble, or that Tehran’s streets would not become impassible with people or barricades.
If we were colonizing Iraq, we would have took their oil.
Instead, who got the oil contracts from the Iraqi government? A lot of countries, including Chinese.
We weren’t there as colonizers. We went due to some deluded Neocon thinking that we could take out Saddam and then let Iraq be a beacon of democracy that would change the Middle East. Pure fantasy.
As for video games being pro-USA, what the hell do you think it’s going to be? The biggest market for video games is in the US. Do you think a game where you are taliban trying to kill US soldiers and NATO soldiers is going to sell well in New York or California?
The confession sounds like the US to conned some Jar head in to being very stupid. If you do not play video games you have no idea how much US propaganda is imbedded in them. The government has been contracting out for pro US videos games and movies for years. Think what would happen to an Iranian that came to the US to visit his famamil and brought a bunch of anti American games and videos with him. DUH Gitmo. If they could get away with it they would disappear the guy.
All this Iran stuff is just a ploy by the us government to distract US citizens from indefinite detention, the sad state of the economy, and the real threat to the US our own house of representatives.
Iran is not threat to the US never has been. keep in mind that if the US chose to Iran could be turned in to a smoking crater in 45 minutes or less that is not an option because we want their oil.
Our interest in the middle has nothing to do with humanity, democracy, or civil rights. Mineral rights, oil and cheap labor is our goal.
So far the US has been an abysmal failure at colonizing the Middle East.. You cannot enslave sovereign nations in a nice way. The US has to be brutal and scary. that is the way the world works.
If i stand back and try to look at this objectively, i can see this case as a clash of cultures. An American fantasy/propaganda/marketing culture vs an Iranian thought control culture.
In America we are all familiar with Hollywood Fantasy products such as a Rambo rescuing innocent US soldiers from evil North Vietnamese soldiers. Madison avenue products such “An Army of One” to promote military recruitment.
In Iran we are all familiar with the government and religious forces arresting Iranian men and women for cultural infringements on dress and religious codes. I some Islamic countries just converting from Islam is a death sentence. We are all familiar with the death sentences to publishers of cartoons depicting Mohammad.
So it is conceivable that an Iranian court could issue a death sentence to a foreigner who has worked at a company that produces products that denigrate Iran. Just as it is conceivable for America to arrest and imprison Manuel Noriega in his own country for violating US drug laws.
