Re: # 24 by AMuralidhar,

``The best thing to do would be not to give them even an inch space of attention.``

Do you know what is happening in Iran? Well, except for a few Art students no-one is paying attention! Very few people have seen the exhibition. Common Iranians have better things to do.

Kul Payee #27 {``Salim Bhaijan, They all exhibit the same cry baby syndrome before they are about to fall. Remember the guy who was found in a rat hole?``}

Kullee Payee,
Perhaps a better and more pertinent parallel can be drawn to our own Mushy Mush Mush. Now be honest, who is a better leader for his people - President Mahmood Ahmadinejad or His Excellency President General Pervez Musharraf? Who displays more backbone and who does not cater to the bidding of foreign masters?

#38 tvaradji, even katrina, a hurricane on a below the sea level city, killed mere 1500 .. just the big rain in mumbai last year killed 1000.

mr kutubshahi, my reaction is not that of horror or pain, but that of bewilderment. this is either a political gimmick of preaching the choir (asadi, salim, usrtruly etc) or an act of real hatred. either way, its highly unbecoming of a 2500 year old persian civilization..its hard to take these guys seriously. why do this ..its not like the guy has to ensure winning the red-states in november?

``I dont think a palestinian ever came to chowk - even though it is a click away. Food for thought.``

And well they shouldn`t. They already have enough cooks to spoil their broth to go looking for more.

Sir,
Do you always measure distance in such small increments?

#26,
Before I went to the U.S. for my studies in the early `80s, I was fed with the propaganda in India about bad U.S. planting a CIA spy under every bed to explain everything rotten that was happening in India. In the U.S., you realize that it is all BS that 3rd world politicians feed their citizens to hang on to power. The culmination of this process was the `89 earthquake in the Bay Area where only about a 100 people died in such a catastrophe in a densely populated area with it`s skyscrapers and packed living; similar size earthquakes regularly kill tens to hundreds of thousands of people in Iran, Pakistan and India, a lot of the damage being in sparsely populated areas. The difference is the superior planning and execution ability that the West practises (the Katrina disaster being the exception to the rule; the horror being shown was about the how the ball had been dropped so badly).

If there is an earthquake in Iran tomorrow, you can bet tens of thousands of people will die. The mullahs and politicians will shed crocodile tears for a few days and will then carry on with their regular business. So the day Ahmedijimbob announces that Iran has achieved technology that reduces the deaths to the hundreds or thousands is the day that he should be given respect that you talk about.

Re: # 28
Salim Bhaijan, Again, what goes on in that country with regards to women rights, and other political maneuvering, etc., is totally irrelevant to the scope of this discussion. If you wana discuss other stuff such as phone tapping by Bushie, or Greco Persian wars, you can write an article and we will debate how Xerxes led a massive campaign to teach Spartans a lesson in Farsi, but let’s stick to the Holocaust exhibit here. No matter what the reasons, or point of reference, it is dum. If they have such a deep desire to mock the death of the dead ones, ask them to mock the death of the 2 dozen camel herders that died over 1400 years ago and leave the 6 million dead Jews alone. Ask them to show some sobriety and some basic decency. It is not too much to ask. They can still issue death fatwas on living writers for writing fictional stuff, but they have no right to mock the death of the dead ones.

#27, Kul Payee, {``Here this guy who wont allow his people to watch a bloody satellite channel beamed from across the Shyt-ul-Arab, and you think that he is courageous? Please be real. And who is going to see his debate with Bush? The Bulgarians? Did you know that Iranian women don`t know what a soccer ball looks like? ``}

Kul Payee,
All things are relative - and you are being relatively biased here. Did you know that Dubya is eavesdropping on your telephone calls? Don`t you think that debate is better than carpet bombing your opponents into homelessness, disease, and paradise? Are you really comparing this elected leader to Sadman Houston? How many countries has Iran attacked since 1739 when Nadir Shah sacked Delhi - and he wasn`t even Eye Ranian. Did you know that most western men (and eastern and southern and northern) don`t know what a Soodi woman looks like? At least Eye Ranian women can drive, go to school, find employment, and are represented in the Majlis, government, and other institutions. Maybe, they will find the courage to discard the useless chador and other trivial garments.

Re: # 26

Salim Bhaijan, They all exhibit the same cry baby syndrome before they are about to fall. Remember the guy who was found in a rat hole? Remember his information minister claiming to have liberated the greater state of Mesopotamia? I think you are not for real. Here this guy who wont allow his people to watch a bloody satellite channel beamed from across the Shyt-ul-Arab, and you think that he is courageous? Please be real. And who is going to see his debate with Bush? The Bulgarians? Did you know that Iranian women don`t know what a soccer ball looks like?

Janaab Mohtaram Hazrat Mirza Syed Qutubuddin Bukbuk Khan Sahib Huzoor:
Or, simply
Kul Payee:

While President Ahmadinejad`s Holocaust Cartoon Festival is probably ill-advised, I am beginning to admire the guts, courage, fresh simplicity, and no-nonsense style of this Persian. His recent offer to debate Dubya in an uncensored and televised discussion of the world`s problems and resolutions is an interesting challenge. Of course, Dubya will decline - he is too busy living in Louisiana to impress the colored people about his compassion. :)

President Ahmadinejad`s ridiculing of the fact that the two most warlike nations headed by Dubya and Blair are also two of the five vetoes n the U.N. Security Council. Now, if that body is charged with stopping, resolving, and preventing conflicts AND the two most frequent warrior nations have vetoes, how can such a system function effectively and fairly?

No matter what you think of his style, the man is definitely scoring points with those who never believed in the Emperor`s clothes.
