In reference to Iran on this point I find it equally interesting that they dont acknowledge that this event occurred.

I think their stand is to try and legitimize their view in front of an audience on their side of the globe by puffing out their chest and showing what they can in a meaningful way that the people over there can understand as courage.

Their culture is different, therefore their reasoning is different. This probably makes sense to them, considering the history of the Muslim faith.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

My assumption is based on a leader and his education on this matter. If he was educated in this way I wonder if his countrymen are as well?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I wouldnt like it but i'm sure it happens. Our leaders are the most visible representation of what our country has to offer. At least in the U.S. we have some level on control of who represents us. I dont know about Iran.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
