    Iphones for Iranians

    The United States was set to relax sanctions on Iran on Thursday to allow American companies to sell mobile phones, software and other technology used for personal communications to Iranians, two U.S. officials said.

      Common sense? I disagree totally. The only thing we should give Iran is the back of our hand, not technology of any kind.

        We should airdrop smartphones across the whole region. The whole Arab Spring was in part due to the role social networking has played in empowering the younger generation.

        And don't mind Sloww. He just repeats what FOXnews says.

            Iran tried that in 2009. We didn't really seem to give a **** about the younger generation then.

              I think people forget that Iran actually has a fairly well educated, intelligent, and active population. There's a pretty sizable base from which an Iranian Arab Spring might arise.

                    I'll lump you in with the people of this country ignorant of history given the fact you seem to have forgotten who was President then.

                        BTW, Obama's reaction of "do nothing" is a lot better than the FOXNews "BOMB THE ISLAM"

                          All of the opposion used smart phones and laptops to organize their protests so anything which improves that helps bring about change as well as results in greater profits for US companies.

                              I didn't care about young Iranians either. So the issue doesn't really get much criticism for Obama from me. I only brought it up in reference to your statement.
