    Hi, just watched the report and wanted to comment on it...

    American youth would never turn out to the streets like that for a vote found.... they did not in 2000, neither did they in 2004, they wouldnt, ever.

    & I thought we agreed that Ahmadz... did not say that israel should be "wiped off the map"... dont you guys actually read the post (people what work for current and write what Mariana is reporting) everything thats being posted onto your own site, or at least check the facts.

    here, maybe this will help.

    That Iranian American reported said Iranians are so smart because they can use things like twitter and facebook?? wtf, oh sh*t, and I was wondering how they can build their nuclear weapons... well if they have people that can use the social sites, they can do anything!

    & to you CURRENT, you might as well base your office in tehran with basij running it because you have been censoring things as well...

    I find the part about the guys saying these are our problems to be solved by us to be of particular importance that needs to be shoved down the throats of every one that continues to preach that we should intervene in their affairs.

    If you are putting down on what American youths wouldn't do I do remember during the vietnam war kids were killed at Kent state by our police. I have been in many riots in those days. Now at age 50 I protest alot for things I believe in.And let me tell you if Mccaine and Palin would have "won"you would see the shit hit the fan and I would be there,and my 4 adult kids.
