Default From Iranian TV

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7119474.stm

I would find it interestingly to see a bit of it, being curious about how they did it, and what the general atmoshere and orientation is. Having spend quite some time in Iran myself i know that by far not all Iranians are like those hysteric apemen you see floodng the streets when demanding death for america another time, and not all are unscrupulous primitives like Ahmadinejadh. In fact the Iranian society has a strong, historically Western-influenced social class that is well-educated, and of wide and diverse mental orientation.

It is possible that Iran very well could produce a series on the Holocaust that is fair on the issue - as long as religious and political nutheads do not interfere with the production of course. At least I would expect such a fair-treated project from Iran before any of the Arab nations.

This all does not mean at all to close the eyes on their nuclear program, of course.

I'm not really intrested in watching it for review, but if anyone else wants to; youtube is your friend.

Iran certinaly has a active film industry, I saw a great film from Iran a while ago.

I was there in 77 prior to the downfall of the Shah. What shook me at the time was how very westernised the country was. The vast majority of vehicles were Hillman Hunters (shipped over in crates and assemled in factories).
One thing that did puzzle me was, why the Fire Service carried sidearms. :hmm:
I should imagine it's nothing like that now.

Not just in Iran. Methinks some Subsimmers are hoping that will happen as well...

One more reason, kids, why you should always remember that despite what the books say, the government does not speak for their people; the people must speak for themselves in these days under such corrupt circumstances...

S.S.D.D.

Most people are ignorant on what that would actually mean for them. If the USA splintered apart like some want, it wouldn't exactly create a paradise on Earth.
