The international community is unwilling to accept the policies of the Iranian regime.

The Iranians don't want the same thing we do in Iraq, not really; they want to control Iraq... the Ayatollah hates the United States; the Iranians are enemies of the United States.

We must not allow the Iranian regime to use the nation's vast energy resource as a financial pipeline for its nuclear ambitions.

Iranians are very proud and don't want to become a pariah state like North Korea.

There are those who simply want to live their lives, and feel they cannot live the way they want to in Iran. Others are ideologically motivated: They will stay no matter what and try to change things.

I'm not an Iran expert.

We shouldn't just consider the desire of government to do what it wants to do. We should always consider the resistance of people. The culture of Iranian people doesn't let the government drag people into deep trouble or backlash. Maybe government wants it, but the culture doesn't let it go on.

I did not know many of the details relevant to the Iran and contra initiatives.

Thus the regime has deprived Iranian women not just of their present rights, but also of their history and their past.

The standards of the international community manifest firmness. Iran has no need for long-range missiles or to collaborate with terrorist organizations all over the world.
