Sometimes I go to an Iranian restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona and the food is delicious. It is run by a family who came to America in the 1940’s and this is the third generation of people running the restaurant. Grandma still comes in to make a delicious pudding on occasions.

You should know that it is the stereotypical idea of most Americans to lump all people into groups. During the 1800’s all Native American tribes were lumped together and what one tribe did, the white Americans thought all Native Americans did that and as a result many wonderful Native American tribes were wiped out. Of course there were some tribes who were hostile, murderous and tortured people for fun but there were only a few like that. Most were peaceful, nature and family loving people as most people in the world are.

I appreciate your long writing and want to copy it and pass it around as I am sure that what you say is true. I know that Iranians are intellegent and that is a challenge to the economics of the U.S. As most leaders in the U.S. are in the business of making money, they most likely resent the challenge of higher intellegence and inventions in medicine. It does seem to be the way of the U.S. to not reveal much valuable information on our news broadcasts. In my opinion, a naive people are easier to control.

I am a white, female American and I have noticed that the most ignorant Americans are also the most arrogant, the most fearful and the most dangerous. The more intelligent Americans are less confident, more cautions and yet less fearful. We have a saying in America… "The more you learn, the more you learn that you have to learn. The less you know, the less you know that you need to know."

I too, would like to see both nations getting along but our leaders will not tolorate that as there is great money to be had by the building of war machines. We must always remember that what the people really want in their heart isn’t what the leaders what for us. We are sold a bill of lies and the public who buys it becomes violent, fearful and hateful. I’m a true believer in thinking with the heart and not in believing everything we are told.

NO XENOPHOBIA!!!

Thanks for writing and giving us real news.

By the way, I copied and pasted this into a document that I can print and pass around for people to read. I’m a music and an English teacher. I will let my junior high students read it and give comments. I will post it on other places on the internet that I find appropriate. Thanks for telling the real news and giving such wonderful web sights. I love the truth and know that American television isn’t providing it. (You know, Yahoo may very well delete your account for this. The least you can expect is that your question will be deleted as it can be deemed as "not a question". So sorry.)
