The little short man is insane. I enjoyed the interview Iason gave today on CSPAN. It gave me more insight in2 whats happening there. He mentioned in this program that most of the youth that has been able to go abroad & see the world understand the world. The same youth that has remained behind well can seem a bit more indifferent but then again they know they r wronged. The majority of their population is under 30. A new Iran may arise with Peace on the horizon for them within.

Imagine how the nameless, who don't have Athanasiadis's fame are treated.
The monitor everything, spy, use people, they torture you until you agree with anything & even give names of people who have committed no crimes to have it stop. The Iranian gov. is a bunch of thugs. My father was tourtured in Evin, my friends have been tourtured in Evin. You foriegners got the first class treatment. Ask yourself why when we resist we are called terrorists? Pius? LOL they are devil jailers.
