Because for thousands of years, we've gotten nothing but truth, integrity, and peace from this refined, sophisticated, and exemplary region of the earth.
It's not like our region of the Earth has been a bastion of peace and understanding.
I'm liking this guy... at least via comparison to his predecessors.
Iran's president Rouhani: We will never develop nuclear weapons
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told NBC News on Wednesday that the country will never develop nuclear weapons and that he has the clout to make a deal with the West on the disputed atomic program.
“In its nuclear program, this government enters with full power and has complete authority,” Rouhani told Ann Curry, NBC News national and international correspondent and anchor at large, in his first interview with a U.S. news outlet since his election.
“The problem won't be from our side,” he said at the presidential compound in Tehran. “We have sufficient political latitude to solve this problem.”
“We consider war a weakness. Any government or administration that decides to wage a war, we consider a weakness. And any government that decides on peace, we look on it with respect to peace.”
I'm really hoping the guy is for real, and is representative of a good number of Iranians.
I'm with you. Unfortunately, deception is a part of politics and even if this one man is sincere there is nothing to stop a subsequent leader from acting differently.
"I'm not a historian. I'm a politician," he replied. "What is important for us is that the countries of the region and the people grow closer to each other, and that they are able to prevent aggression and injustice."

In ancient Persia one the greatest crimes that could be committed was to tell a lie. Also for a decent period of time you could say the Persians or Middle Easterns in general were a more "civilized" people than those of Europe.
So although they may not be the most exemplary people on Earth right now, let's not deny them their place in history.

I have no issue with the general population of Iranians. It's just that the leaders and power structure really sucks, and since they rule with an iron fist, the people have little say or actual representation in the world at large.
Oh, good gawd, here we go.
America is a cat fight compared to that abortion of cultural inferiority in the Middle East. They've evolved at the pace of the common cockroach.

Well, he hasn't threatened to burn Israel off the face of the earth yet. That alone makes him better than Imadinnerjacket. I'm guardedly optimistic.
I don't actually believe for second that Iran wouldn't build nuclear weapons. But I do hope that this president's commitment to peaceful use of nuclear technology will keep anyone from actually firing nukes at anyone. We shouldn't be fooled, but we should be hopeful.
