Gore Vidal has been a vocal critic of the U.S.A. for many years.
His observations are usually very accurate and useful. I was unable to
dial up Noam Chomsky's article but I would say the same for him. These are
brilliant left-wing writers who are well aware of America's crimes against
humanity. As you know, today a massive bomb killed 100 Iraqis and injured
many more. Clearly, the American involvment is ruinous to that poor
nation. I believe we should get out and let them have their civil war,
bloody though it will surely be. If the victorious shiites want to align
themselves with Iran, than that's their business. Now for something more
personal. First, did you consider my advice regarding your sister? Second,
please tell me about your friends aand associates. What are they like and
what do they think. After all, you guys are the future of Iran and I'd
like to know what's in your minds. Finally, let me thank you for the
wonderful correspondence we share. You are clearly a brilliant young man
and I learn much from you.
