>> Its a loaded question Sun. No it is not. It is a real question designed to make you ponder and reflect. You could for example say, Iranians could have shown some sympathy after 9/11 and not danced in the streets...oh but wait, they did just that and held a candle vigil for 9/11 victims...you could say they should have helped in bringing the perpetrators of 9/11 to justice...wait a minute, the Iranian government did just that and the Northern Alliance upon which the Cheney administration heavily relied to overthrow the Taliban was a close ally of Iran...you could say Iran should have shown some good will by providing land and air rights to US during that time...oh but they did...So what is it exactly you wanted to see that you did not? >> It is your claim that iran made an offer and the US refused. Not at all. This is a statement of fact, attested to by the Swiss Embassy...not to mention all the other implicit gestures of support. Why do you call it my claim? >> They dont want to risk their lives i guess and i understand that. Unlikely...what so many people seem to not get, is that there is no support for regime change within Iran. Iranians want a change of behavior in some aspects of the regime. But that is a far cry from a regime change that is why you have not seen the kinds of riots that would please Cheney.
