the tomb of "Cyrus the Great" and "Persepolis" would be submerged under water. As opposed to "submerged" over water?
Today is officially "National Punctuation Day". Close enough to make a remark about gratuitous repetetive redundancy.

The Taliban is taking hold in Iran now; expect OBL to appear as a government official there in the near future...

A genuine shame. I had hoped to see Persepolis once before I die.

the Greek historian, Xenophon Anybody intending to do something militarily in the former Persia should read Xenophon's Persian Expedition. Alexander did.

The Iranian mullahs do not deserve their lofty perches of power, and the deliberate destruction of these priceless treasures should be enough in and of itself for the Iranian people to finally rise up and dispatch the mullahs straight to hell courtesy of the end of a rope.

Well I hope we do in the Mullahs before they can commit this unspeakable crime against Persian culture and humanity. I believe generally Iranians feel they have a superior culture to the Arabs'. If this is so, why the appeal of Islam, which replaces indigenous for Arabian historical consciousness?

This would be a tragic loss.

So, the Persian influence on the Hellenistic tradition will now go the way of the library at Merv or Alexandria? This was an issue at those times of invasion........of Merv in particular by Genghis Khan.

This is unbelievable!!! It makes me ANGRY!!! Of course the Mullahs want to get rid of Persia's TRUE PAST, and it is a past that THEY CAN BE PROUD OF. Iran has been buried in a Dark Night ever since their Islamic revolution. GRRRRRR, this is so WRONG!!!!
