Grr. Can't sleep.

Glad to see that you like Locke. Read you some Voltaire too.

By the way, how easy or difficult is it for you to get these books?

Many people here speak english fluently!

And therefore protest signs are written in English?

Perhaps protesters here in the US should write sites in Farsi or Korean while protesting? This will make their protest more effective will it?

They won't be our friends after we or the Israelis blow up their nuke plants.

Lock and load.

Our FRiend Khashayar is an Iranian national. He would prefer that the Ayatollah do a Lebanon-like abdication. I can't blame him for not wanting bombs dropped in Iran, seeing as how he lives there and all.

One of the best side-effects of the invasion of Iraq was the spread of the hope for democracy to the people of the Middle East. We saw the effects of this in Lebanon earlier this year. We are seeing the same thing starting to happen in Iran.

I thought it odd that sign was written in english in a country where virtually no one speaks english.

Idiot!

Have you ever done business in Iran? Our neighbor here in NC is married to an Iranian woman. She speaks perfect English. Her father was a mercantile trader. Her net worth is over U$D 1m. She is married to an American (third generation German descent) who has a net worth of over U$D 2m. They just built a million dollar home on Lake James; no debt.

I guess anyone from Iran is... What?

Uninformed people dopey people will always be dopey.

BTW, my wife is of German descent. She, however, does not wave a swastika over our house.

I have known two Iranians personally. I must say, they are two of the finest, most gracious, capable, and accomplished people I have ever known.

Ditto that sentiment. See my post to another poster. I cleaned his dopey clock, big time.

As an aside, it is a shame that people who have never travelled or met anyone other than a neighbor down the block, seem to be experts in a global world.

I've been all over the world on business, and have had to learn varying custome on different continents. I have my prefernces and predjudices, but have learned to keep quiet.

As for terrorists, I'll empty as many rounds as it takes. And light up a cigar r the cops to drag the dead bastard(s) away.

Iranian students wanting freedom should never be confused with "they are on our side".

Why not?

How can a man embrace the Lord's will as his own except by the Lord's grace and through his own free will? Does the Lord want your servitude? Does He want slaves? Does he want free men and free women to be his people?

To me the answer is obvious.

You Iranians have been a tough bunch for quite a spell. The Mongols had little respect for other breeds.

As you can see I am not a secularist. I am however a student of war. Some very very sharp people are doing everything possible to prevent wholesale destruction and slaughter in Iran. The most formidable of these people is George W. Bush.

Things are going to get worse before they get better. I wish it were not so. You and your friends are on the right track. Take care of yourselves as much as possible. Your people need you.

By the way you ARE free. Freedom is in the heart first. Justice comes afterward.

I used to hope that the Iranians were pro-American and coming to their senses... but after seeing how their last elections went and how things continue to go downhill there, I have lost all hope for them.

I would rather see them get bombed back to the stone-age than be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. We do not need WMD in the hands of madmen.

Hopefully the Israelis will take care of this one. Iran's mad President has been mouthing off about Israel non-stop lately. He needs to glow in the dark.

I still think that the United States has been presented with the best opportunity to help change a tyranical regime from within since Poland. The United States supported the Solidarity Union not just by intel, but also by sending fax machines (no internet then) and tremendous moral support, including from the American unions (mind you, this was when Lane Kirkland was running things. A lib, but still old school. Also Pope John Paul II was a major ally against the Evil Empire.). The student movement in Iran is a repeat of what happened in Poland.
