    They are dumb. Iranian economy is in very serious troubles, and they are not gaining any good from this crisis.
    Sigh...

    Actually Iran pulled all it's assets out of Europe because of fear of their frozen assets, so they may indeed not be as bad off. But still let them laugh, Ahmedinejad is sooo losing the next election.

    that is propoganda and I bet it works perfectly well for many Iranians. I don't think even Ahmedinejad belives that :hmmm:
    "Therefore I am not in favour of raising any dogmatic banner. On the contrary, we must try to help the dogmatists to clarify their propositions for themselves. Thus, communism, in particular, is a dogmatic abstraction; in which connection, however, I am not thinking of some imaginary and possible communism, but actually existing communism as taught by Cabet, Dézamy, Weitling, etc. This communism is itself only a special expression of the humanistic principle, an expression which is still infected by its antithesis – the private system. Hence the abolition of private property and communism are by no means identical, and it is not accidental but inevitable that communism has seen other socialist doctrines – such as those of Fourier, Proudhon, etc. – arising to confront it because it is itself only a special, one-sided realisation of the socialist principle."

    If I recall correctly they don't even make much on oil due to rampant corruption...

    Here's a little story: A few weeks ago I bought a book about economics because I wanted to get more insight on the crisis happening around me. The book was entitled "Basic Economics". Though it was describing the basic principles of economics, it sucessfully ruled out and vanquished the Iranian president's claims in the second chapter. Hehe.

    Hehe. Well the Iranian economy has long been screwed. I guess its hardly surprising theyre enjoying everyone else being screwed around them.
    Though since economys typically get a massive boom after any reccession then Iran is hardly going to get the last laugh. especially considering they rely so much on oil which is better they have run out when people can pay a lot for it rather then a little.

    Iran has a strong labour force growth but to actually improve their situation they need more economic growth, as the two aren't meeting up as they should. This result skyrockets the unemployment rate in the country (which is now most likely above 11%). And Iran shouldn't be celebrating this event, many of Iran's biggest partners (i.e. Japan, China, Turkey) will get affected which will in turn affect them.

    Seeing as their economy is overly sanctioned by the rest of the world, I don't think a financial collapse will affect them too harshly, since they are probably very disconnected from international trade.

    This coming from Iran is just priceless.

    If they keep digging their own hole like that, they'll reach the Pacific soon.
