A nation is known by the state of its minorities. The way the weakest are maintained exemplifies the moral standing of nation; a great nation takes care of its weak and its nonconformist. On that count, the efforts to eliminate the Bahai faith in Iran is the regime's clear-cut effort to pay no heed to the Article 1, 2 and 3 of the UN Declaration of Human rights. UN Human rights charter Article 1 categorically states that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. Article 2 of the charter cements the right of faith; it states vigorously that everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Article 3 guarantees that everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person. iranian.com

And here is another tale of folks who just "don't know when to quit"... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Optimism Rules At Baghdad Stock Market Old-Fashioned Market Buzz Reigns, Despite Continued Violence Baghdad, May 8, 2006 (CBS) For all the violence in Iraq, many Iraqis believe there are better times ahead. As CBS News correspondent Allen Pizzey reports, it's the kind of optimism you find among those doing business on the Baghdad Stock Market... ...There are fewer than 100 companies listed on Baghdad's stock market, and it's open only four hours a week. But the mood is surprisingly bullish... ...In another unlikely twist, nearly half of the traders are young women. None of them wanted to talk to CBS News – because they were too busy.... ..."I buy them because they are real-estate and building on very good land, so they are cheap price, so I buy them and I wait," says Abdul Latif.... ...Risk isn't anything special to stock players whose place of business needs barricades and barbed wire to keep car bombers out. In fact, a recent shelling incident did wonders for the sellers. "With the first bombing prices went up...with the second bombing price doubled."... cbsnews.com
