FIRST--While this site is under new construction, I would like to wish the Iranian democracy advocates, students and people success in their challenge to their leaders( so called)..and remember the lost lives of those Patriot's taken illegally and ruthlessly by that Regime. As I have always said, "The Price of Freedom has Always Been Paid By Those Who Have Enjoyed Its fruits The Least,...BUT, WHO HAVE CHERISHED ITS MEANING THE MOST!"
STUDENTS-if you can't use the cell phones and TV media to get your message out, sketch, draw, paint, and write your experiences in this freedom quest and send them out of IRAN by courier or mail as artworks to Canada, USA, French, or NATO-EU nations' media centers for publication---Or even send them to me via email and I will put them on this website for the world to see. You will not be forgotten!! The Iraqis already have your freedoms, paid with USA lives and wealth, and don't know what to do with them---SHOW THEM AND THE WORLD THE WAY!!!
