I got that information from the most intelligent person I know--my father, who has a master's degree in political science. The only parts of BFC I've seen are the end with Charlton Heston, and the cartoon made by Matt Stone and Trey Parker of South Park. |

Well your father may have gotten his facts from the Master of Misleading. The Shaw had been the legal ruler of Iran since 1941. The CIA hadn't been established until 1947. |

It wouldn't be the first time he's lied to me...&*^$#@ easter bunny. Even considering that, the US HAS had a helping hand in dethroning rightful rulers simply because they weren't on their side when it came to communism. But since this is solely about Iran, let's not talk about that for now. |

Yeah, last time we talked about communism...well... A %$^(#@ Easter Bunny? Easter Bunny...that's what I'd call him if I were a nice guy. But since I'm not...I take it you're not a fan of him. Onto the topic of Iran. Does anyone know if they have released the Holocaust cartoons yet? |

Even if they did, I doubt the media would show them in the US. |

Of course they wouldn't. Do you think they should show those cartoons if they are released in the Middle East? Should we see the ones made by the Danish and then the ones made by Iran? |

Well it is huge world news and the media has to do something about it. Of course they'll show it...they'll probably give some type of warning about what we're about to see before they show it, and of course we would want to see it no matter how taboo it can be because our curiosity would get the best of us. |

Well it hasn't happened so far in the west as far as I know. At least not on the major news networks. CNN and NY Times didn't want to show them for out of respect. Haven't these people heard of freedom of the press? |

Or it could be too taboo to show it. Well the media might do is that there will be all of these discussions about this whole epidemic, and talk about how harmful the Denmark cartoon is and how wrong is this Iran cartoon conest and so on and so fourth. But...there's always the internet. (I know that I might be contradicting my first statement about it, but they could still show it and give warnings before they show it.) |
