Even with their hard their living conditions, these people living in the margins in Bandar Abbas manage to put a smile on their face. On the positive side, if there is one, these people don't have anything to lose. So they can perhaps sleep "freely" not having to worry about the financial meltdown across the globe that's bringing sleepless night for the well-to-do!

XerXes ...

Would you have said the same thing and brought up the same rational to dismiss poverty in iran during shah's regime? Does that mean that khomeini's revolution for poor (mostazafan) was a bogus claim and revolution was about nothing but a fraud?

Or is there a double standard of judgment for shah's regime versus islamic republic, even though IRI is thousands of times more corrupt than shah ever was, and far less "iranian" than shah ever was?

With a religious blindfold on, everything looks rosy no matter how ugly and brutal.

Dead-end lives in the States don´t make these Iranians feel better. Btw: The strongest economy of the world is the EU one.

Shame On You

by MiNeum71 on Mon Mar 16, 2009 07:37 AM PDT

Shame on you, Ruhollah Khomeini
Shame on you, Ali Khamenei
Shame on you, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani
Shame on you, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

Look at the faces and eyes of these people, these children, who don´t have anything except themselves and a dirty place, where they must live their unworthy lives, and this happens in a rich country.

This is so sad, so sad, so unbelievable sad.

Shame on you, IRI.
