    Meanwhile, The View From Inside Iran.

    A somewhat refreshing rest from the black/white axis of evil mania thats coming out of the US.

    Hizballah may be Tehran's client, but Iranians aren't buying the propaganda.

    Posted Sunday, Jul. 23, 2006
    Parvin Heydari, an Iranian mother of two, was flipping back and forth between the nightly news and Oprah when a bulletin on an Iranian state channel caught her attention. It urged Iranians to boycott what it called "Zionist products," including those made by Pepsi, Nestlé and Calvin Klein, and warned that profits from such products "are converted into bullets piercing the chests of Lebanese and Palestinian children." As evidence, the voice-over intoned, "Pepsi stands for 'pay each penny to save Israel.'" Heydari says she changed the channel, as she has no intention of crossing Nestlé's Nesquik off her shopping list. "Lebanon has nothing to do with us," she says. "We should mind our own business and concentrate on policies that are good for our economy, and our kids."

    Why do you find it sickening that any person would want his/her country to bother first about the rot within and only then try to "fix" the world? In this case Iranians as well? And what does it matter in this case what she says when "Uncle sam is kicking the door down"? How does that make her claims right now more or less right?
    Im asking this question in general.. What do you find sickening about the article?

    Edit: Just finished reading the article.. Can't see what you find there sickening or propogandist.
