My false statements comments were levied at nezmot with his Iran-American comparisons, and the tired 1984 parallels mostly.

While I'm still interested in the 1984 parallels (something being tired doesn't make it any less right - as most conservatives will agree), much of the rest of my post was probably inappropriate - and was probably more of a knee-jerk reaction to an imagined 'tone' in earlier posts. I do think many of the Iran/American comparisons stand (dissidents/executions/ideological filtering of candidates) to a greater or lesser extent - and even if they don't they're worthy of consideration - but my intent was to try and balance things by humanising the Iranian people, not to demonise the US.
