And yes Nobel prizes in the sciences are a good measure of national contributions among western nations. And as you would expect they are dominated by the majority population.
No it isn't, arguably China is one of the fastest growing countries in the world, development in China is not only limited to economy, Chinese leaders have paid special attention to education in their country, China population exceeds 1.3bn people yet we don't see any Chinese citizen (I'm not talking about Chinese-American) win any scientific Nobel prize?
There is certainly a monopoly on Nobel, I must also note than in countries like Iran and China, English is not considered as very essential (therefore its not taught widely) and most of the scientific publications in the named countries are in their native languages. Therefore, I don't see any relevance between a country average intelligence and Nobel prize yet!
Do you like it when Afghans cone to your nation and claim that they built your nation for you? Americans don't either. No one is kind enough to do anything for free for anyone.
Afghans are Iranic people we would still be a nation today if it wasn't because of the West conspiracies. About your argument... I would in fact like it if they can provide a proof, because I can provide such proofs about foreign contributions to U.S. development (economically, technologically, etc...)
I do not take it personally. And yes, your argument have EVERYTHING to do with race. The US is an immigrant country and what that mean is that anyone can be an American. Whatever they do, whether invent or just live, the credit goes to America, not where they came from.
U.S. and West in general have tried (still trying) constantly to prevent scientific development in "undesirable" countries, I could give examples of India (Sanctions, 1974 after Smiling Buddha nuclear test), China (Sanctions, U.S. aggressions against China which led to China development of nuclear weapons), etc...
Your logic is flawed! Your country tries to prevent other countries from forming suitable infrastructures for their development and therefore your "policymakers" ultimate goal is to create brain drain in those countries. The credit will not go to America, the credit will go to the country which provided the environment for the education of those individuals, U.S. might provide these "geniuses" with sufficient resources, however achieving results is not possible without having a strong educational background.
But if you are willing to array inventions according to racial origins of the inventors in order to put the white folks in a negative light, then what else can you be but a racist?
I simply stated the facts, majority of your youths are more interested in having fun rather than to contribute to science, that's nothing racial!
Bullsh1t. There is nothing to prevent Iran from trading with other countries to get what Iran want. Nuclear hardware are evident. This argument have long been discredited. But it does have long legs, I will admit.
I'm afraid your opinion is not valid. I'm living in Iran and I know the situation here better than any foreigner on this forum. Zionist organizations, such as this one:
www.unitedagainstnucleariran.com/ are formed for one purpose only, to make living in Iran impossible!
You may call it bullsh1t, horsecrap or anything you desire but I tell you this, we are not even allowed to import dental materials and equipment! Do you think its possible to make a nuclear "hardware" with such items? What do you call this if not interference?
