Countries, when they
are in conflict or war, they always think that a larger population makes
them stronger.... Practically, Iran is in war with the U.S.

Condemn Child Marriage
"Every year hundreds of Iranian girls under the age of ten are forced to
marry even though it’s illegal. There is a mounting online
international campaign in opposition to legislation pending in the
Iranian parliament. This legislation would make it legal for girls
between the ages of 9 and 13 to be married off by their parents without
the consent of a court. This petition urges UN Secretary General Ban
Ki-Moon, who is working to end the practice of child marriage, to
publicly oppose the proposed Iranian law."
Comment: If this bit of legislation passes in Iran, it shows how backwards they really are.
"Fundamentalism means never having to open your mind".

How Long The Economic Stagnation?
Q: Is the end of the yield famine still far away?
A: Yes. Very far away. We’re in a long-term slump due to massive over indebtedness. We’ve simply got too much debt for the economy to return to normal growth. Worse, none of the usual policy fixes — like debt-funded government spending — will work. Washington is likely to make our economic problems worse, not better, because the only “cure” is time — time for the burden of debt to decline.
