Email i received from Iran.

Translation from Persian:

Thanks alot European and US media. We've demonstrated for 5 years- and you have paid virtually no attention. In the 70's the BBC ran daily spotlight demonstrations on their frontpage of Khomeini's radical fundamentalism from France, unfortunately at the time he spoke of freedom and democracy and the BBC followed him every second of the way, when the Shah protested the BBC replied that we "must back democracy wherever it prevails"... 25 years later, we the students have demonstrated on a more consistent and basis, but your representative in Iran, Jim Muir has spoken proudly of the Islamic Republic, sometimes even denouncing our and our plight. When tens of thousands came out into the streets, you not only didn't report it, but you lamested us as a ridiculous group of foreign induced monarchists out on the streets... Thanks alot!
