		<description>I saw this video and when I read your post I thought it was relevant.  Different era, same American Hegemony killing civilians.  But like the courageous protestors against 03 Iraq invasion there were protesters against Vietnam too, and in time, they too would be on the right side of history.  If you have time/energy enough, check it out (5 min).

P.S. Don&#039;t forget to turn your volume all the way down before you play it, then adjust volume as necessary.  I hate when I forget to do that.

		<description>This was funny.

British Police trainees showing how to use guns to grandmothers in Afghanistan who inspire to be Police Officers.

Every candidate is sitting down on the floor, with their burka, and &quot;police boots&quot; and a complete set of an hand gun set in a box in front of them.

Training through a translator, they are learning how to use their &quot;free&quot; guns.  They say: when they see a Taliban, they will kill them.

How can we royally screw up a society again, that was being screwed for hundreds of years.  Pit poor Afghanis against each other, and then collect your paycheck with Overseas Service Bonus, and call it a day.

		<description>Oh dear.

My apologies to Mike.

I looked back at the past year&#039;s archive and I could not find an long passages of quoted material from Mike. All of Mike&#039;s comments appear original and thoughtful. 

I should have taken the time to verify who I&#039;m thinking about before writing. I am sorry. I will presume that was offensive and unfair. I will also look back to see why I may have developed a negative bias towards Mike.

btw who was cutting and pasting massive blocks of text?</description>

		<description>It&#039;s time to make the comparison between Tiananmen Square and Tehran.  There is no difference - China and Iran are one and the same - a dictatorship.  While the mullahs and the communist party members consider themselves to be benevolent, a dictatorship is a dictatorship.  They are in truth foul and evil as ever there was.</description>

		<description>Dear Putney Swope,

There is a phrase, &#039;you should never argue with a crazy man.&#039;  (Billy Joel)

Do yourself a favor; if you see a post from a known nut, just ignore it. I do. Their words are their own worst enemy.

It&#039;s bad enough having to scroll past Lilya Lopekha (propagandist/unconstructive/personality disorder), mike (propagandist/cutter &amp; paster), aj (Lilya-who else would agree with her?), and all the non-contributing members of the site. There is no need to contribute to it.</description>

		<description>Putney, 
Why don&#039;t you to a protest march in your city, and tap Police Officer on the should, just to say &quot;Hi&quot;.

Before you know it, the entire squad will pile on top of you and beat you up before you say &quot;H&quot;.

Look at the pictures from Iran, how many of them show that the Police is attacked with sticks, rocks and fire bombs.  How many of them have destroying property, flames and violance by the protesters.

Apply these images to your own country or any country in Europe.  How do you think the police would react.

Stop dreaming and chasing lies in different venues to justify your position in the Mother of All Venues of where the problem is.</description>

		<description>Not impressed. I know what is happening in Gaza.
It&#039;s pretty bad, but your tactic of changing the subject is the issue. This is not a smart answer or a &quot;smart&quot; ass answer. If you think your being clever with a cute slide show your not.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;A poor Girl in Tehran was shot dead. Nobody knows how accidental it was and what the circumstances are.&lt;/i&gt;

apologies to Neda I misspelled her name the first time.  

Her name was Neda and she was shot in the chest by an Iranian security man from a roof.

The whole world knows now Lilya.

		<description>Lilya Lopekha are you an apologist for the current Iranian government? Seems like it. 

&lt;i&gt;A poor Girl in Tehran was shot dead. Nobody knows how accidental it was and what the circumstances are.&lt;/i&gt;

As I read this comment it is clear that your trying to degrade this persons death, as you do other tragedies, because they do not serve your agenda. Nobody knows if it was accidental? You can&#039;t be serious, someone just happened to set off a high caliber rifle in the middle of the street and it happened to hit her in the head. 
That&#039;s what your saying here. Your a real piece of work.</description>

		<description>I don’t have an agenda. Except to point out that your arguments all seem flawed. Your consistent alt least in this area.
&lt;i&gt;A poor Girl in Tehran was shot dead. Nobody knows how accidental it was and what the circumstances are.&lt;/i&gt;
An amazing statement which says more about you than you think. I’m sure if this happened in Gaza you would be the first to say that she was murdered by the Israelis. You support the Palestinian cause and yet here is an example of a segment of the Iranian population doing very much the same thing as the Palestinians are doing in context to their political situation and yet you are supporting a regime that would shoot an unarmed woman.

Sorry typo...

Your entire political ideology is flawed and based on some absurd warped notion of history and geopolitics.

You keep posting these absurd diatribes.
You use generalities and comments such as this chestnut; &lt;i&gt;Therefore, it is OK for some countries to bomb some other people from the air and kill hundreds of them every day.&lt;/i&gt;

 This comment has no baring on anything I have said. I don’t support the wars in Iran or Afghanistan and never have. So what’s your point here.
What’s your thesis? I have to ask because the only one you advocate is anti-Israeli in some form or another.

You keep posting, you keep digging this huge hole.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t have an agenda. Except to point out that your arguments all seem flawed. Your consistent alt least in this area.
&lt;i&gt;A poor Girl in Tehran was shot dead. Nobody knows how accidental it was and what the circumstances are.&lt;/i&gt;
An amazing statement, I&#039;m sure if this happened in Gaza you would be the first to say that she was murdered by the Israelis.  You support the Palestinian cause and yet here is an example of a segment of the Iranian population doing very much the same thing as the Palestinians are doing in context to their political situation and yet you are supporting a regime that would shoot an unarmed woman. 

Your intire political ideology is flawed and based on some absurd warped notion of history and geopolitics.

You keep posting these absurd diatribes.
You use generalities and comments such as this chestnut;&lt;i&gt;Therefore, it is OK for some countries to bomb some other people from the air and kill hundreds of them every day.&lt;/i&gt; This comment has no baring on anything I have said. I don&#039;t support the wars in Iran or Afghanistan and never have. So what&#039;s your point here. 
What&#039;s your thesis? I have to ask because the only one you advocate is anti-Israeli in some form or another.
 
You keep posting, you keep digging this huge whole for yourself.</description>

		<description>Yes, Putney

A poor Girl in Tehran was shot dead.  Nobody knows how accidental it was and what the circumstances are.

Therefore, it is OK for some countries to bomb some other people from the air and kill hundreds of them every day.

So, what is your point for bringing up such a tragady and abusing it to further your agenda?

Every country goes thru its internal struggles.  But no other country has been meddled from the outside as much as the countries in the Middle East - except &quot;1&quot;, of course.

AIPAC&#039;s phone lines in Washington must be very busy these days with outgoing calls to the Congress about Iran.</description>

		<description>Lilya you make awful comments about the Holocaust and seem to support Ahmadinejad because it lines up with your agenda on Israel. You use insults and name calling and now tell me not to make it personal. You act like a spoiled child. You make these outrageous comments and expect to get away with it. You think your on the side of what is &quot;right&quot; and that I&#039;m wrong. However you never deal with nuance or the complexities of the politics and the levels of complexity some of the issues you right about demand. Instead you look for simple slogans and try to change the subject. 


It is clear to me that Ahmadinejadis is a despot. 
I don&#039;t have enough information to form a good opinion on Mousavi. From what I am seeing however does inform me that something major is going on in Iran. It also seems that what is happening there is out of Mousavi&#039;s hands. 
It seems to me that he was caught by surprise by the events after the election.
