The death toll for the Iranian earthquake first reported this morning is now estimated at 10,000, yet not a peep about it here. Rather people are arguing about guest postings and the most trivial and inane "holiday" items.

Can anyone here imagine a city the size of Bam being flattened and 10,000 people dying in an instant happening in Europe or North American, and it going without comment here?

The demonization of Arabs and Muslims by the Anglo American Empire seems to be working just fine. The only announcement of aid I've heard mentioned so far is from Russia.

Typical. And typically cynical.
