President Bush (father) told the Iraqi Kurds to fight Saddam. They did; America did not support them; thousands of Kurds were murdered by Saddam!

President Bush (son) told the Iranian freedom seekers to fight for their liberties; "America will stand by you" , he said!!!... Encouraged, young Iranians kept fighting; many were arrested, tortured and murdered; but they learned America is secretly negotiating with elements of the Islamic Regime; and, not helping them!...

We also learned America is flirting with MKO/MEK, the most hated group in Iran; and we are even more puzzled by America!...

The last American Democrats- Administration tried hard to seduce the leftist elements of the Islamic regime; they angered many Iranian patriots; and they failed!...

Now, Iranians are wondering how much America can be trusted!?... We can never forget Carter's administration that was the root of all the problems the world is facing today!... We wonder, what would be the future if Americans continue their naive and destructive policies like in the past? Is there anyone in America who can understand anything that is not "American"?
