Obama Burning

Just in case anyone was in doubt about just how meaningless many anti-American demonstrations are, there is this little gem in Iran. Since very little happens in this country that is not sanctioned by the Iranian government it is nice to see just how eager it is to get off on the right foot with the new president.

Re: Obama Burning

And nobody will bat an eyelid over this, freedom of speech and all that. However, you start calling teddy bears Muhammad and all hell breaks loose.

Frankly, this is what happens when you allow males to run things...

You think you can do better PG? Do it. Run for office. I'd vote for a witch any day over Margaret Thatcher!

Re: Obama Burning

You would think that people would have better things to do with their time, like try to overcome the issues and resource based obstacles, rather than burn pictures.

And it's not even a record. Cuba has that beaten by a country mile.
