The sort of stuff that alienates people from the PSL, even though I understand that you are only a sympathizer. You are making an amalgam between CIA agents, supporters of the overthrow of clerical rule in Iran, the Green movement--which is led by a faction of the clerical dictatorship, the hikers who were not even in Iran and god knows who else. What do you think that the hikers were trying to do? Dig a hole from Iraq to Iran so that CIA agents could smuggle Twitter accounts into the country? Or copies of Madeline Murray's atheist tracts? Sheesh. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
