We count on Bush in 2004 election and please vote for him, that is really important for us here.
I used to watch satellite TV stations beamed to Iran while ago and they have influence in Iran as well.

I just read an article posted to this site that claims Khomeini, the so-called father of the Islamic Republic, wasn't Persian but was the son of a Kashmiri woman and a British father. Have you heard any rumors to that effect? The article said that Khomeini had invented a fake background for himself and wasn't an authentic Ayatollah. Quite a bomb shell if true. I noticed that alot of Iranians are very resentful of the British and heard more than one say that Khomeini and the revolution were backed by the British. I never really understood their disdain for the British as it seemed to me that they had nothing to gain from the toppling of the Shah.
