On the one hand, he calls them part of the axis of evil, then he sends help. I wonder if he even knows why the Iranians hate us? |

We have been to Iran. It is absolutely essential for people to recognize that the people of a country do not represent the government of that country, and vice versa. There were no "axis of evil" people who died in that earthquake, just normal everyday people trying to get by. |

He visited the ancient city of Persepolis, also in that region, while he was there. It too was destroyed by an earthquake. At times like this we need to abandon politics. There should be no hidden motives behind any form of aid. Andrea |

The poiticians in the shadows will, even now, be working out how to play this out to their best advantage. |

You may not agree with him politically-of course you have all the information he has-but those 'ad hominim' attacks I keep reading at the Mudcat say more about those posting than about the Prez. |

28 Dec 03 - 08:37 PM (#1081199) Subject: RE: BS: Earthquake in Iran From: GUEST,Jaze How incredibly sad. Paper says death toll may reach 40,000. Perhaps by offering help, both sides will see we're really all the same and need each other more than politics lets us realize. |
