This is another popular misconception, alongside the mass wearing of "keys to heaven." There were large mined areas and Iran possessed little in the way of mine clearing equipment. Iranian volunteers joined the war effort with a variation of age from as low as 14 to as high as above sixty. Given...

This is false on three counts, even if it be a popular misconception amongst some. Firstly, it was a confrontation between Pan-Arabism espoused by Saddam Huessin and his Baathist party against the Iranian nationhood, with Iran as having been seen as a traditional rival. Support of Saddam's...

Adopting a neutral standpoint, this is only partly truthful as it is quiet dismissive of the root causes or of later endeavors on part of the Israeli government. As such, it is unbalanced. You have conveniently under-valued the segment where I addressed the sentiments of the Iranian population...

Thank you for your responses everyone. One thing I must ask though, a lot of the members in their posts above state that he has a pro-Taliban and pro-Mullah stance, with some even saying that he aligns himself closely with the terrorists. Can someone explain/clarify this for me?

We are really off-topic here for this thread. I'll rush with it.... The change in governmental policy towards Israel after the Revolution in 1979. This reflected the change in ideology, stance on geo-politics, strategic imperatives, and in objectives on part of the Iranian revolutionary...

I already stated that Iran has been problematic for those vying for their own interests in Iran. The nation-states which you have mentioned are no exception to that rule. As to being a source of "attraction," the attribute of attraction varies from eye to eye. Not all the attraction that you...

Thus far it can be said that... The basis of respect attributed to him comes from his cricketing career and a large segment believe that politics is not the proper arena for him. He's not seen as being corrupt but as being controversial. He isn't a successful politician and nor is he able to...

:P Either your are him or you've just been skipping lines... but do provide our own insight though, Imran

Interesting response. Do you say that because he lags in political maneuvering for he is bad politician (as Zaki states) or because his stances/ viewpoints lack objectivity or rationality in your eyes?

Thank you Tayyab and Zaki for your responses and especially Zaki for the summarized list. So basically, from what I have gathered from your posts, Imran Khan's support largely comes from the youth of Pakistan, as in he is more of a youth leader than a matured politician (because you said he is a...

Hello everyone. I have recently been made more acquainted with the Pakistani politician, Imran Khan. I have a rather small group of French-Pakistani friends who are quiet supportive of him and have been informing me about his viewpoints and stances. But of course, thus far I have only heard from...

Sir, unless we are in the pre-Sassanid era-- which we clearly aren't-- your proposition is irrelevant. Moreover, the Sassanid population wasn't entirely Persian. Furthermore, even then one would say Sassanid or Sassanian and not Persian. Also, I don't see where I have denied the ethnic make-up...
