Views on America from a non-United States website - Iran

http://jadi.net/tag/us/

The website that I have chosen is from Iran and is written by an Iranian citizen. The blog was banned in Iran so the writer has now decided to write a separate blog in English so he can express his views.

Jadi's view of America and having Obama in office is positive. Jadi writes more about what the Iranian government wants him to think rather than his actual own opinions. Any criticisms in the blog come from the government and not Jadi, he writes that his government tells him:

"- US is Bush
- Bush is bad
then…
- US is bad"

This seems to be the view on America from Iran's point of view, the Iranian political leaders also go as far as calling America 'evil'. The blog is aimed at people that may not know about a civilians life in Iran, it is informative and interesting as you do not usually get to here about Iran from a civilians point of view. I also find it interesting that the blog has been blocked in Iran as it shows how little freedom of speech Iranians have.
