> So do you believe in the near future citizens of tehran will be carrying pictures of GWB?

Why should they? What has Bush done for them or is going to do for them?

> It is merely a question but you do think it is an insult.

Stop editorializing your own questions. What are you a mind reader now? No I do not consider normal questions to be insulting and more often than not I give people the benefit of the doubt.

> Ask Sarmad how we worked out are differences.

There is no need. My responses to you are based on your behavior with me. How you conduct yourself with others is between you and them.

> But you tar all iranians who live here with this broad brush.

There you go characterizing and editorializing a statement of fact. What did I say that was negative about the Iranians here? I happen to like most of them. They are much more educated than the general public. They carry themselves well. There is next to nothing crime or violence among them. What "taring" did I do? But it must be obvious to anyone who is willing to look, that they are here because they did not like to put up with the Islamic regime in Iran. That does not make them any worse as a person. Here is an easy question for you. How many Iranian residents were in US or Canada before the revolution and how many are here now?

> So every iranian i meet here is misinforming me, except you of course.

Again you are showing your complete lack of logic. They are not misinforming you. They are telling you their opinions. But their opinions is not a good measure of the over all population opinion. Nor is this the case for every one of them, but it is a generalization of the resident population at large. Now go back and look up how many Iranians migrated before the revolution and how many after it.

I thought you could carry a normal conversation but I should have known better. Given your editorialization instead of discussion, I am going to go back to only glancing at your posts and rarely answering you.

> OK I got it.

Unlikely that you'd get anything.
