<< Exactly, I'm just waiting for a comment on moussadek, lost his life in a cellar, many remember it, as well as the others who lost their lives. >> You mean the Iranian leader who was overthrown, and replaced by the sub-human Shah? I feel that the U.S. and, in this case, England must be accountable for sins of the past. Many Americans, including myself, know little about this episode in our history. There are many countries that have committed many sins in the past, and many countries that are committing great sins today. I would really like to have ongoing 'civil' dialogs about these past sins. That is what makes the Internet so powerful. In most free nations, individuals can openly discuss issues regarding acts committed by their government, past and present, which they condemn. But the dialog cannot be directed solely at America. Iran, for example, is inflicting great harm and sins on it's own citizens. Public protest is restricted. The news is restricted. People are imprisoned, or murdered, by their own government, because of having different views. I'm surprised that President Mohammad Khatami hasn't been assassinated yet, buy the hard line dictators in Iran. Why has the government of Iran allowed Khatami to remain alive? Are they afraid of a revolution, by the people?
