I sent the book review only to suggest that there is great interest in Iran here in America. As for why we re-elected Bush, I'm still trying to figure that one out. Yesterday I told you what I didn't like about America but I wasn't specific enough. My real problem is that we are rapidly becoming a trash culture where rap music, reality TV and sports are all we care about. It is as if the entire nation has become brain-dead to the real world. This aside, we are a very generous country which welcomes immigrants of every race, creed and color. Also, we are always the first there when other peoples have suffered the many calamities of nature. Salaam Aleichem! FRED
