But you're as wrong on spelling my name, as you are on your judgement about my opinion on the 11th of September attacks. It kinda reminds me of an Arctic Monkeys' lyric... So, what do you know? Oh, you know nothing...

It would increase the possibility since it would piss some extreme islamists off. You see, Iran is one of the countries with the most of that in the world. And if you don't know... extreme islamists were behind 9/11.

I don't think we've yet to come up with something better than democracy, and I doubt that we ever will. It's not perfect. But it's the closest.

And western countries don't have any censorship? Gimme a break. : ))))))))) The main problem is that most people in democracies think that democracy is the best shit ever and that anything that's different sucks.
Did you know that Ahmadinejad will have to go to court in the next 30 days?
RT.com:
Iran’s parliament summons Ahmadinejad over accusations
Iran’s parliament has summoned President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for questioning over a list of accusations. They include allegations that he mismanaged the nation’s economy, AP reports. Earlier, a parliamentary committee issued a petition for summoning the president – the first such case since 1979. Ahmadinejad will be asked about foreign and domestic policy decisions and allegedly bypassing a special budget for the Tehran subway and public transportation. After the summons is sent to the president, he should attend a parliament meeting within a month.
You think that something like that could happen even in Russia, which is democracy? Putin could sit in car and kill 50 people driving over them and he wouldn't face a trial.

I can't totally agree with you. I do agree that attacking Iran is a mistake and that Iran's government isn't as bad it's considered by westerners. But just the example you mentioned...I don't see it getting anything done. This is not the first time this has happened for Ahmadinejad and everytime it stopped at the last minute. Either some MPs pulled out of the petition and the thing got cancelled or the supreme leader sent a message telling them to stop it. The government isn't that bad, but it isn't so good either. They lie to us all the time, the economy is terrible (The value of the Iranian currency has more than halved in the last 6 months), the censorship and no-freedom of speech is there and stronger than ever, foreign diplomacy is effed up,etc....
