Quotes of the Day!
"Do not choose for anyone what you do not choose for yourself".--Persian Proverb
"What is hateful to you, do not do to another. The rest is commentary."--Rabbi Hillel
This quote is meant for those cultural relativists in the liberal/progressive camp (e.g. Mr. Seymour Hersh whom in an interview with Iranian news agency called Iran, "the most democratic country in the Middle East) who compare Iran to Arab countries not knowing the ancient or recent history of iran. Read Maryam Namazi's fascinating article on cultural relativism/fascism by clicking here, although I don't agree with her anti-capitlism stance.
Cutuarl Relativism = euphamism for ingrained (covert) racism)

Dear Serendip,
Wise choice for this post. Although to look at such picture one must endure a great anguish, but when the reality is as ugly as this one, the world should know about it....
Serendip:
In an interesting commentary on the antiquity of Persian and Jewish cultures, that proverb you have quoted sounds a lot like the definition of Judaism given by the ancient Rabbi Hillel (approx 1900 years ago):
"What is hateful to you, do not do to another. The rest is commentary."
Good picture, to go with it.
and michael moor (farenheit 9/11) once said:"Ahmadineja is an interesting man." meanwhile Ahmadi said in a lecture:"we won't let any liberal thinking professors in our universities any more!"(BBC news. the tragedy? the democrats are taking over! it seems America will fall soon just like Iran did.
