The Guardian: Why did so many have to die in Bam?
Contrary to what our enemies say, we at The Razor are NOT anti-Iranian or even anti-Islamic. In fact, when the world changes one of us wishes to spend some time travelling through the country and visiting the holy city of Qom.
We therefore DO NOT REJOICE in the suffering of the Iranian people of Bam. Having lived through earthquakes in Africa as well as Southern California, we agree completely with the following writer in the Guardian, and wonder when the wealthy ayatollahs will be shown to be the hypocrites they are by a righteous and wronged people.
Money quote: “This is not a silly question. True, the Californians are much richer than the Iranians. But if you believed everything you read in the works of M Moore and others, you would anticipate a culture of corporate greed in which safety and regulation came way behind the desire to turn the quick buck. Instead you discover a society in which the protection of citizens from falling masonry seems to be regarded as enormously important. Whereas in Iran - for all its spiritual solidarity - the authorities don’t appear to give a toss.”
They sure didn’t. Why did so many have to die in Bam?
