| September 30, 2002 The letters section will be gradually updated today, letter by letter To top * "The Ugly Americans" I am writing a screenplay called "The Ugly Americans" about my American family's true live experience living in Tehran, circa 1978, on the cusp of the revolution. It is to be told from multiple perpectives, including my parents', the out-of-country business houseguests of my dad's who could not return to the Hilton as it was under seige, and lastly our driver Hamid, who eventually defected, who worked hard to support his family and whose brother was a revolutionary. Anyone who can contribute stories, photographs, or home movies that I may be able to intergrate will be much appreciated, and will get credits, if used. Thank you.

I read Fariba Amini's touching interview with our brave sister Soudabeh Ardavan who spent eight years of her precious life in Evin prison with much horror, sympathy, and heartache. [Life inside] How can a group of people commit so much cruelties and atrocities to their fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in the name of God, religion, and Islam? But then, again, from the invasion of Iran by Arabs 1300 years ago, to the invasion of Crusaders some 400 years later and up to the present, to the centuries of European Inquisition, the pages of history is replete with inhumanity of man to man, but the worst of it all is such horrendous cruelty and viciousness in the name of God and religion. Will there ever be a stop to this madness? What can and what should the civilized world do about terrorists and terrorist nations? Roger K.
