Yes. I undergo rituals of purification daily and nightly. Thanks for
asking.
What political goal is achieved by YF's billets doux to Ahmadinejad?
What goal is served by saying "Amen" to the Nasrallah interview? Why
are empty words of support any more meaningful than those that take
exception?
I'm trying to explain Iran's history, politics, economy, etc., with
emphasis on women's conditions, first of all to English-speaking
leftists, and then to the general public. I'm also trying to get
people to understand the significance of alliances that Iranians,
Lebanese, Venezuelans, and others are making. It's for those purposes
I've posted lots of information here, culled from all sorts of
sources, from scholarly journals to such impeccably bourgeois
institutions as the World Bank.
