This article points out the moral obtuseness of people who find nothing wrong with Iran.

The link has a link to an amazing article about Afghanistan in the 1950’s and 1960’s. You might be interested.

It reminds me of another story I read awhile back in slate magazine

http://www.slate.com/id/2173107

“When Bush comes. It is a popular joke in Tehran, akin to saying, “when pigs fly.” Of course, behind every joke lurks a genuine sentiment. Sure, Kamran laughs when he says it. But then he grips the wheel and, for a brief moment, glances up at the sky, as though expecting an American fighter jet to zoom overhead”

>>>’Even the Regime Hates the Regime’

Nah.... the Regime is in Love with the Regime.

How else would any one explain why the [Islamic Iranian] Regime is kept being in power for 31 years?

We HAD TO invade Afghanistan and Iraq last 10 years. Yet, We tiptoe around Mullahs’ regime in Iran, and allow their lackeys live in our societies in the U.S. and the West.

Why is that?
