Explain then your pilot fatehr who was having difficulty coming into the USA. It was your 'American' mother (half) you claim who secured his entry.
Huh, Daddy was going to cut and run like the best of 'em!
All your fondest memories of Iran. from your childhood to your High School days were during the time of the Shah. Your hypocritcy is astounding. Have you contemplated going back to Iran or sending your children to go to high school there to share your experiences?
sorry,I forgot: You are a 'native' son of America!' What a fool you make of yourself.
Yeah, RP didn't cut and run
by Sargord Pirouz on Sat Dec 18, 2010 02:32 AM PSTYeah, RP didn't cut and run from Iran on a raft set adrift in the middle of the ocean, No-Sir-Ree-Bob.
He did the cut and run with mommy and daddy aboard a pimped-out Boeing 707 carrying billions of dollars in embezzled cash.
