Funny thing is that most of our troops can go farther than front-line into the foe side but almost none of the Microsoft troops can invade us at the home. Many of Free soft-wares can move into their OS line.;)
Are we equipped with special weapons the opponent don't have like air-crafts and missiles and they are using just big tanks:D
As an Iranian, I must tell you we don't hate westerns,
We may become angry when we hear you refer all inventions and science to your self, forgetting for example the medical-science-reburn was based on Avicenna (Abu ali sina, a pure inranain scientist), even the cloth you wear on graduating-celeberation in university and the way you change the position of the rob in the hat you wear in getting diploma is mimick of the way he was used to do when he was able to solve a problem,
Or X(variable in algebra), and Algorithm was first used by al-kharazmi one of or mathematicians(Algorithm word is based on his name ),
ZAKARIYA RAZI,"As a chemist, he was the first to produce sulfuric acid together with some other acids, and he also prepared alcohol by fermenting sweet products"
Or we are using the most accurate calendar in the world based on reburn of the earth(Persian Calendar)
So, when we see in your history books that science begun from greek and a gap and then you invented everything again we may become angry, but hatret? noway.
Those advanced I mentioned was not based on nothing, we have a very powerfull culture, Persian Culture, that becasue of our current weak-country state it is weakened in many ways, but it is still alive, and it is based on " Good Thoughts Good Words Good Deeds", and we are so much foreign lovers as a characteristics of our nation. You can see that UN title is a peom from sadi (a persian poet) that says:
"All people are in the same body, when some part suffers others suffer too, if you don't suffer, you are not a human",
we don't hate anyone.
And about OSS, it is so weak in Iran yet, the government is not so concerned and people are so used to pirated softwares that is a little hard for OSS-devoted developers to convince them for using OSS softwares, but like everywhere there are some devoted developers here too,
We will work and try hard for spreading and helping FLOSS idea here in Iran, because we believe that if anyone in anywhere hurts, we will fill bad too, and the propriety softwares have many aches too be ignored;),

If the wars is for capturing the hearts, sending troops overseas, into the enemy line can be a very good strategy. :D

Mono is the troop in the oppponent customs. Maybe it can come handy ;)
KDE and Gnome wars is somewhat over, with new moves from Microsoft they are all gathering strengh for the next big war in the following year, :)
Some small clashes yet exists as you see, but spirit of alliance is strong now,
The most problem in IPs and patents is the monopoly possibility behind them. It realy can make us hungry, out of job and in problem.
Who hates who? :)
