I can't wait to find out how it's all the fault of the US or Israel or maybe Rushdie himself. And HERE’s a follow up: http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30200-1272657,00.html

Wanna try again? German: I've never claimed to be unbiased and anyone who <i>does</i> is a big fat liar, but examining the facts of Iran's "admirable influence" in the region is a disheartening process. They are so awesome that every time there's an earthquake they have to get international aid to rebound. Their political strategy is so sweet because instead of building refineries and vertically integrating their economy, they chose to import gas, build nuke plants, and funnel arms and cash to Hamas. Maybe 2500 years of evolution haven't been quite enough.

But back to the real world, Iran government's strategy was very risky of course, but extremely smart. Lets not forget its war, it has been for 30 years, and apparently Iran's 2500 years of Evolution, since the persian empire, has taught them quite a bit more than western "journalists" would wish theyd get to learn in a hundred lifetimes, because as far as I know, after 30 years of continuous media propaganda, thanks to which we get fed with *Iran is bad* *Iran is bad* *Iran is bad* on a weekly basis, their revolution is still standing -in spite of the westernly prefabricated Iraq-Iran war-; Iran has become an admirable influential power in the mideast -in spite of the "official" world boycott and westernly prefabricated conflicts in the region-; and instead of being that "threatening and evil regime" people like you and your liberal teacher would wish it was so your biased perspective on the world could still make the little sense it makes, it is a nation based in building bonds with other nations, not in bombing them, or undermining them spreading empty "ideals" which enslave the world population, as other uncivilized powers do to profit from it. Fuel rationing IN IRAN, brings us back to the, "why then such a wonderful and fuel rich country is so badly administered" that you wish to imply. But is it badly administered? Now Iran is one step ahead in further diplomatic negotiations (since the west clearly doesnt have the balls to attack), and the nuclear Iran (which obviously turns into that equivalent of real iranian freedom) goes on. And when Iran reaches its nuclear goals, and all the propaganda system runs out of that annoying *but the world fears Tehran is building nuclear weapons* rubbish that it feels obliged to include on almost every Iran article as part of some sort of brainwashing standard implementation, and everyone realizes that Iran always went for the nuclear power for energetic reasons and not "wiping anyone off any map", I picture everyone looking at each others faces searching for an explanation, along with many axioms starting to fall appart for that proud press consortium of "writers" who I strongly relate to those who get their historical truths out from Hollywood movies. When the nightmare is then almost over, thats as far as the war goes. Not more blood shed, unfortunately for those who enjoy spreading biased news to get innocents killed and the world to aprove it in heart. Good luck in your further battles: I still admire people like you for having the silly courage of standing on the defeated side. Hilarious last comments.

See, that's why Iran's nuclear program was supported and encouraged by the US in the first place.
