I personally would like to see VinceP deleted from the comments sections, since he has yet to hit the nail anywhere near it's head on anything he talks about. I have a good understanding of the history of the Us and Iranian relations over the past sixty years, and I also have a good understanding on the research of human behavior, since I spent eight years of both undergraduate and graduate education learning said research. It is pretty clear that the west is the instigator and the bully in this situation, as it has set up Iran time and time again to be painted in the light of "evil." ET's blog is incredibly important, since it shows the world the TRUE face of Iran. It would be a shame to see her cut off the comments altogether, but some of the I HATE IRAN people do indeed need to go. Although I'm sure a lot of people would like to see me go as well. I never did get along with the uneducated very well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467559.post-2773744938458618312007-04-21T04:37:00.000+03:302007-04-21T04:37:00.000+03:30Psychosis, and lunacy sum up the unconscious drive...Psychosis, and lunacy sum up the unconscious drivelling of the resident Semitic Supremacists, whom in their tradition of colonising anywhere they find, have settled in this corner of the cyberspace, too.<BR/><BR/>As, ever the incoherent brain farts of this bunch of rejects, making no sense, or reason, full of invectives, and insults, aimed at those whom do not subscribe to their mad as a hatter world view. <BR/><BR/>The harangues of anti Semites, not making a difference, and invectives, insults getting no where, fall back comes in supplications of; let us censor the heck out of the newly settled settlement, and keep on pouring bile on Iran without any hindrance of any of the responses, after all these settlers are used to their own nice comfy echo chambers to pour their venom without so much as any checks, or responses to the contrary.<BR/><BR/>Thoughtful responses, my foot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467559.post-79977787060510674872007-04-21T03:56:00.000+03:302007-04-21T03:56:00.000+03:30ET,I second Christopher's comments regarding invit...ET,<BR/><BR/>I second Christopher's comments regarding inviting the "thoughtful crowd" back into the conversation.<BR/><BR/>You have an excellent and informative blog.

In China, Mao used the excuse of social equality to dress everyone in uniforms when it was just a reminder to each Chinese that one of the first acts performed after waking up is the act of conforming to the state. This method of control is seen across cultures and institutions.saggezardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16687074004854819198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467559.post-24339647613480424402007-04-20T03:15:00.000+03:302007-04-20T03:15:00.000+03:30thank you to all who took the time to explain to m...thank you to all who took the time to explain to me what the hijab is. i had no idea.Achtung Nadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15587573807347136080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467559.post-16127835152418736412007-04-19T02:45:00.000+03:302007-04-19T02:45:00.000+03:30Vincep, your "humor" is as weak as your political ...Vincep, your "humor" is as weak as your political logic.
