jbg Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 They are a forward-looking society who turned to a fundamentalist faction to free themselves from the US-supported, dictatorial Pahlavi regime. Now they find themselves stuck with the fundamentalist faction in power. One thing I've always liked about you is your sense of humor. The dishonest, illegal, and ill-advised Bush invasion of Iraq probably set the liberalization of Iran back by about 15 years. If Bush had been sane or sensible he would have encouraged social change in Iran, but it may be too late for that now. That would stop a true liberation movement? Surely you jest. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
