To: UNESCO World Heritage Committee Members, Honorable Koffi A. Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations, Honorable leaders of the Free World, Honorable Citizens of the Planet Earth:

The Islamic Republic of Iran, which holds in great contempt any non-Islamic belief or heritage, has embarked on destroying the archeological sites of Pasargad and Persepolis -- some of humanity's most prized cultural heritage. The heinous destruction of the two Buddha statues by Afghanistan's Taliban, pales in comparison to the present barbaric designs of the Islamic Republic.

Honorable citizens of the world,

Please help us to save one of the most magnificent heritage of humanity.

While I deplore the destruction of ancient heritage, I am unable to think of any way in which the UN can make a positive contribution to preserving it against the determined onslaughtof Muslim fascists.

The Taliban did the same thing with the Buddhist statues - funny how the religion of peace and tolerance can stand no competition...even from religions/civilizations that went extinct long ago...
