Um, these guys should have seriously stuck to Zoroastrianism. When was the last time you heard anyone complain about misguided Zoroastrian fundamentalism?
Think about it.  |

| I tip my hat to the courage of the Iranian ISPs who have resolved their doubts in favor of internet access to the people. I think the Government's clamp down on access to foreign information sources might have something to do with the growing unpopularity of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Iran has a major election coming up. President Ahmadinejad is less certain of a victory than before. Many Iranians are upset with his actions. I suspect that the ban on high speed internet is meant to stop people from listening to and watching foreign feeds. Remember that they have just cracked down on Satelite TV.
Attached is a recent analysis of the situation published in the Gulf News, a Dubai based paper. Dubai is geographically very close to Iran and keeps a careful eye on what is going on there.
»www.gulfnews.com/opinion/columns···934.html
What is particularly unnerving is their predictions that Iran will attempt to foment further tensions in the region by: (a) reigniting the Israeli/Lebanese war; (b) pumping more weapons into Iran or Afghanistan; and/or, (c) staging a coup in Lebanon to put it under Hezballah control. As to the last comment, I would also note that the same paper reported massive weapon smuggling from Syria to Hezballah controlled factions in Lebanon.*
There is nothing more dangerous than a cornered animal and I think this animal might be feeling a little cornered. I suspect that the Gulf News is correct that the current leadership of Iran will attept to divert the public attention from their failures and they are trying to limit the access to foreign media sources which will call them out for this.
Just my two pence.
Stu ----------- *While I have never completely understood the strange alliance between Seculiar Syria and Islamic Iran, it seems pretty hard to deny its existence at this point. |

| seriously? who gives a fuck? they're doing it to hide BS from the states..and its US's fault cose they're the ones who want a war with iran not the other way around.. US only see's 1 thing...OIL lets see...they got iraq...afganistan..basically they own Ecuador's oil..US wanted to make up shit with Venezuela too why only OIL countries...makes one wonder :P why doesn't the US go invade north-korea..since the north-koreans even made fun of them...basically the translation goes +- like this "if u mother fuckers come here...we'll drop a bomb on you"...the US can build 300 nuclear plants...nobody will tell them shit...so why should they shit on someone's progression...lets see also...after the 2nd world war... Poland bought LOTS & LOTS of nuclear bombs just in case the same thing happened again...i wonder where they're stacked did the poles put them in a garbage bag and throw them out?  its all about the $$ iran doesnt want a war...iran wants $$ nuclear = more $$ with less costs...and if they can build a few bombs a year and sell it to the russians who sells it to the koreans or the chinese = more $$ eventually they'll stop making bombs cose there wont be any buyers cose there's no wars but the US made up ones...
IRAQ "oh he's a bad president we gotta overthrow him put him in a court and kill him"
afganistan "oh they got bad ppl..we gotta go there and school them up...put one of our guys as president and keep getting $$ from there"
Venezuela "oh he's a bad president we gotta overthrow him..oops maybe not or we'll have to make war with a lot of 'hermanos' and we'll probably lose cose they're too many even in our country"
a lot of $$ made in afganistan was from farms to make heroine/coke..the US went there and destroyed everything... why doesnt the US go to Holland/The Netherlands whatever u wanna call it...its legal there  u can probably go there...get outside the airport to the Red District or whatever they call it...get inside a shop..."can i get a beer, some coke and a bitch to suck my dick?" thank you!  thats what i call freedom...(its probably start being more expensive tough since the germans want to tax their 'job' ) poor girls...now for each guy they do..they gotta pay 19% IVA to the government plus their pimp? damnnnnnnn that comes out expensive..i wonder who charges more..the government or the pimp? hahaha :] |
