6/29/09 I take pride in the maturity of our wonderful people

by: jamesonm

I live in the U.S. For 30 years after the Revolution, Americans whispered about us with suspicion and distrust. They viewed us as the elements of the theocratic regime that has defamed our nation with their shameless acts.

However, during the last couple of weeks, the world watched for themselves how peaceful, how civilized, how mature, how resilient, and how sophisticated the people of Iran are. They also watched for themselves how brutal, how ruthless, how inhumane the power mongering ru
