  • good vid :) intresting

  • thanx

  • this was a very nice tribute to very brave young man. i think that some of the comments made by previous viewers are purile and offensive, to iranians and persians for the uneducated the same people. Islam is is not the religion of satan and most iranians like myself would be deeply offended by your remarks, as im sure howard baskerville would be to.

  • Islam is pure Evil, i hate when people say its a religion of peace.ever since it came about it was spread by sword,people have been suffering from its crazy ass rules in many countries, its divisive(i.e Pakistan India,Egypt).

    Look at around your self today and guess again.

  • Islam is no more "evil" than christianity or judaism.. Those three religions have far more in common than they have differences.... Maybe some of those countries DO have crazy ass rules.... But what about oh I dunno the salem witch trials? How about the Spanish Inquisition? It's not the religion(s) that're evil... It's the assholes that use the religions to push their own twisted agendas... And anybody who judges an entire group by the acts of a few in that group do nothing but promote hatred..

  • could you remind me, when was the last time a jew or a christian hijacked

  • what is the name of the music composition at the beginning ?

  • I love you so much Iran. Decent Americans understand the goodness of ordinary Iranians. One day the tension between our governments will end, and we'll be able to move forward as friends. I await that day.

  • May God bless his soul. A true Hero who died defending my city

  • May god bless his soel...He was a great man

  • You got an American from iranian decent right here who's gonna join the US military and continue the path of those who gave this freedom to me.

    God bless America!!

    Support the green protesters in iran!!

  • what about our bondadge?

  • Amazing the bond between the American ppl and Persians. I never saw it before the current uprising, but it is powerful. There are many noble people in Iran, and I pray that the Lord will end their bondage and give them the freedom they deserve.

  • Very interesting history given the current upheaval in Iran right now.

  • I hope some day we realize we don't need to "shut down" anybody.
