      Do not forget the images here, right before your eyes in the United States that prove slavery is still tolerated...and demanded by the White House...and even Oboma! Never think the United States is something to model anything after...they know not the meaning of their founders. Look at Capitalism...no-one wants it...and is willing to fight to prevent it...it is worse than communism could ever be.

      The people of the middle east must awaken from that long slumber of enslavement to religious dogma and dictatorial fascist governments. This is the first fluttering of eyelids but the masses are still groggy and could fall back asleep again. Most of the arab states are probably horrified at the mass demonstrations and are fearful of contracting this virus-like hunger for freedom and democracy.

      very true.

      i have to wonder what israel thinks about all this. with Amhedinjad back for another 4 years, and the centrifuges spinning the whole time, at what point do they realize its 'us or them'?

      i don't know if Moussavi would've shut off the centrifuges and come to the table, but, at this point, anyone is better than ahmednutter.

      I hope Isreal is long long suffering about striking Iran.There has to be abetter way.Maybe a mass snipper attack.The young men,and women who are resisting would be the victims in a nuke exchange.

      Slavery was begun by BLACK ISLAMICS from the North of Africa. These even enslaved Americans.
      Do get your Histroy correct, rather than ACLU style Social Studies.

      I think you read only the history written by your own uncles.

      It really irritates me to hear that the US and the Israel talking about freedom and Democracy and also oppression. America and the Israelis are the oppressors and occupiers and they killed millions of people and they have no right to talk about oppression. Iran is only doing what it has to do as a responsible government because they know the Zionist entities are behind the unrest.
