Howard Baskerville

Grave of Howard Baskerville in Tabriz, Iran

Baskerville served with the Presbyterian mission in Tabriz. "At the height of the anti-American sentiment in Iran during the 1980's, the tomb was always covered with yellow roses, ..... no one claimed any knowledge of who had placed the flowers on any particular day, but... the tomb always had fresh flowers on it." And still does.

"Supporting a Democratic Iran is the only viable solution."




Absolutely! Thanks for the post and the ping.
BTW, I have an absolutely beautiful Tabriz rug
that I would NOT give up for anyone. It means
a great deal to me. It's not just the beauty of
the rug. I bought it in early 1980...much was
going on at the time, and much has been going on
since then. It serves as a reminder...

Great article and good information.

Your profile page is very interesting. Well done.

I am very supportive of freedom for Iran and would love to see Iran and the U.S. renew the friendship they had for so long before 1979.

Great article! Well done, Khashayar!

Thank you everyone for spreading the word about Iranians' love for Americans and vice versa. We need to get the truth out to the people of both countries - we cannot trust the media or our governments' communication while they are "stuck on stupid." Mullahs have to go - it is a simple as that.

We have NO allies in Europe's governments any more. EU is helping the Mullahs for their own benefit - and selling out US and Iranian people in the process. They are doing the same with Iraq and Afghanistan.

As for the people of Europe: wake up before you are completely overtaken!

Good to let you know that current Israeli President and Defence Minisnter are also Iranian. They were born in Iran and moved to Israel during childhood.

From your profile... amazing.
