Iran continues to "modernize"


Dear friends,

It is amazing to me that everytime one of the presidential candidates is asked about Iran, he never talks about the way that Iran is entering the modern era like a freight train travelling non-stop, across miles of  tracks. This place is not Iraq - which is caught up in a prior period when "religious governance" was the founding principle, similar to that of Europe during the "Middle Ages".

Iran has a space program. The Iranian government is now boasting about having test-fired missiles that can reach both Israel and southern Europe. As well, on the link below, you will fins a very short notice regarding Iran's new telecommunications tower that is one of the tallest in the world.

Finally, the economic boycott against Iran that has been enticed by Israel and led by the United States is inanity. What the latter have done is isolated themselves - not Iran. Besides, the boycott may be the bane of finance capitalism, and will only make Iran more self-sufficient and safe from the vagaries of a world economic system. That aforementioned system only has allegiance to any particular country when the profits of big corporations and banks are favorable. And why did Israel ignore UN sanctions against apartheid South Africa, as the United States illegally supplied the racist South African regime with technology and other assets, through Israel?

One Love!
