I am watching a Brit travel through Iran.

Unbelievably, the Iranians aren't all burka wearing, bomb wielding terrorists. No guns, no nukes. People are smiling, going to their jobs, traveling, working. This has obviously been washed over by the Iranian Gov't to cover their bloodthirsty terrorist society. :eyes:

The website for them is www.globetrekkertv.com

2. I've seen that episode too. An eye opener
But then again, EVERYTHING the US gov has accused 'evildoers' of doing has been done, in spades, by said US gov.


I also heard an NPR report last week from inside Iran on Mel G's "Passion of Christ" movie. Its the biggest hit in Iran today. Iranians interviewed who had seen the film were sobing at the depictions of torture and mistreatment of Christ, the king of jews. I was taken aback at the love for the jewish prophet Jesus Christ that the interviewed Iranians have.

3. I really believe that people want the best for eachother.
There are bad people and then there are governments and other powerful people. They will work in the interests of power instead of the people. That means that they will run over anyone they need to. In other words, we are all roadkill.
