Dear David, The NSA had existed in Iran in relative safety for fifty years before the Iranian Revolution. We could not know its members would be killed until they were and as you see with the current situation dissolving the NSA did nothing to protect the lives of Baha'i leaders there. But only the House of Justice can really answer questions regarding why they did what they did. warmest, Susan __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:[email protected] Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [email protected] Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[email protected] Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
