I frankly don't think it's any of our business that their citizens have to live like that
Whilst it's of course only human (the good side:) to care about fellow humans living in oppression in foreign lands, does it not seem strange that your government (and mine) will happily provide weapons used to kill these same individuals but as soon as there a more pressing need than immediate profit, their former business colleagues from abroad are denounced for anti-American behaviour?
That said, I'm still free to publish views that directly conflict with those in government without fear of being locked up. That is not the case in Iran.
You make this sound like a good thing.
There's no need to prevent someone from saying or printing anything they think - most of their thoughts are already under control - if not, their readership interprets any unrecognised opinion within the framework set by big media.
Don't forget:
* Dressing like a paedophile
* Cynically attempting to capture children's minds (happy meal etc) as a precursor to a lifetime of their unthinking patronage.
Maybe if the Americans stopped breaking International Law - the Iranians could be left in peace - there'd be no need for wave after wave of propaganda to set public opinion before the clearly-approaching action against Iran.
Iran has every right to pursue its interests - it's signed the non-proliferation treaty (unlike Israel which has masses of US nuclear weapons on its soil, again, against International Law).
Stop 'buying into' this shit as you guys say.
kthx.
America is sowing the seeds of terrorism in every country around the world - clearly this includes non-muslim/-arab states - where would you be if even 1% of the horrors you've committed/sponsored against the rest of the world came back to you? hint: horrors beyond your imagining; hundreds/thousands of times worse than 911, again and again. For fuck's sake - stop reading your government-controlled propaganda - New York Times etc and start controlling your 'leaders'.
living in the US is fantastic and we enjoy more freedom than most of the world.
Mainly because you're {carpet bombing / have invaded / are occupying / are paying a terrorist state to occupy/invade/carpet bomb} every other country but your own.
So if the compound is politically suppressed or made too expensive by a monopoly, the black market will step in and make horse tranquilizer masquerading as the life-preseving drug widely available.
Apparently you already have something similar in the sense that it's illegal for the US government to use its buying power to secure lower drug prices - as this would 'disadvantage' the drug companies. This is in direct opposition to the stated goal of healthcare.
You seem to having some kind of allergic reaction to someone converting years of your life into cash - that's not a particularly corporation-friendly attitude - re-education officers have been dispatched to your location - please wait.
So DARPA says to itself "In the hypothetical situation that a small number of people or bombs or whatever were known to be in the country, but their specific location was a mystery, could we mobilize citizens to find them?"
Yah, I can see next week's news: "Be on the lookout for guys who look like terrorists. The first one to find the full set wins a pony."
Interesting that you have everything backwards. Your own politicians are the demagogues and by "set up stable governments" you presumably mean set up puppet governments. Also the source of most of the world's terrorism is the US, even when enacted by Israel - as it's been for the last few decades.
Yah yah, I know, it's not that everyone hates a hypocritical warmongering terrorist state but that everyone is 'jealous' of amerikkka.
Somehow our culture has drawn us away from each other;
It's the people with the largest piles of money - their best strategy to divert attacks on those piles is to have all potential attackers fighting amongst themselves.

I'm not familiar with said infotainment 'personality' (thanks google) - do you mean like this ?

Nice to see someone who's awake, AC.
Condoleezza, is that you?
Flamebait because it's true or because you don't know it's true?
Most don't seem to comprehend that this is exactly what happens in the US.

Try to read it as America, containing the KKK.
If you at least recognised the truth but chose to block it out so as to remain sane, that would be understandable but I suspect you simply don't.
FTFY :D

Way to completely cancel out any effect the rest of your post might have had by using the word 'liberal' as an insult.

Hopefully without the really dull brainwashing sessions.
What's an American?
So, standard behaviour then?
What's the matter with you? Don't you like getting tased?
It shows how fucked the system is when this kind of response seems almost reasonable.
