I was reading an article about the standoff between UK and Iranian authorities over the capture of 15 British Officers. I wont come right out and think this was an agression by the Iranian’s, I will not rule out the UK officiers at fault. The truth is we don’t know, though the scenerio doesnt make much sense for the Iranian story to be fact.

Anyhow, today the protests began, both in Tehran and in the UK. I’ll quote the paper I read and you can see the difference between a society that is breeding an ability to govern itself, and the one that teaches murder and hate as a part of politics.

“About 200 students throwing rocks and shouting “Death to Britain” and “Death to America” demonstrated outside the British embassy in Tehran Sunday, but caused no damage or injuries. In London, about a dozen British protestors demonstrated outside the Iranian embassy,demanding that the captives, taken March 23, be freed.”

Death to Britain? Death to America?, what exaclty these protestors thought destroying property or killing the citizens of another nation have anything to do with this standoff I will never know.

Protesting with this type of hate based slogan is not protesting in the educated world, this is know as rioting. When your goal is to inspire murder and destroy property, that is a riot not a protest.

If only the poeple knew who’s agenda they were serving, likely someone far away in a huge mansion, who befefits from a society left filled with ignorance and hate.

I am sure the fact that only 200 ignorant wanna-be murderers came out is a sign that the people of this fine city are respectful and intelligent, its just a shame that these 200 are left to represent you on television and media.

I would love to hear a more educated true Iranians feelings regarding ther goals for personal peace and family success, because someone in your own country needs to help others recognize that hate wont make your children successful, only dead.

The countries of this world that have learned to work in harmony with their past ememies are todays most fruitful societies. (see Japan and Germany)

But Fanatics need hate to stay in power, and for this I am sorry for the good people of these countries.

The differenc between peaceful protests praised in the WEST and the hateful violent protests of the middle east
