If we continue what we are doing (not opposing) they'll have the courage to do worse to all of us!

Once I saw a man go absolutely bat-shit because he was late for a bus. He broke windows, attacked the ticket takers, and was generally physically scary. The police gently led him away. They didn't even handcuff him. I could not help but think that he would have been shot if he had exhibited similar behavior in America. In general, the normal police in Iran seem to be less authoritarian and less prone to brutality than one would expect. But... there are always exceptions. It is also important to understand that there are many different enforcement arms in Iran, and they are all in competition.

But in the other hand i think Bush administration is a kind of responsible of all of that : when they put people in jail like in Guantanamo (lastly one of the prisoner make a suicide) without trial and when they use torture in irak, in country like iran its government use the same attitude against "arazel va obash". hello,

Got my point? I do blame the governments too for not providing jobs for educated and graduated men and women as you mentioned. Believe me, we do have the same problem here, unemployment has risen drastically in the last few years in Saudi Arabia, and so has the poor. I can not put my self in this man's shoes because I have been privilaged, I have never felt how the poor might feel. But I have been deprived of other important matters such as my identity and freedom as a woman. I try to stand by virtue and ethics, I don't know what a person feels when he/she is pushed to the limits, now that is survival struggle.

"Farhad Mehrdad" (Poet, composer and singer) once said: If you have "one option" you have to take it! A lot of people here (graduated) don't have a job, so what would a poor ungreduated guy do? you have to -at least- have a Bs in order to take even lowest jobs! Rasha I'm kinda sure that you can see what my point is. Just try to see things from a different point of view and you'll realize.

Once you and I stop blaiming others for what ever wrong choices we did in our life and take responsibility.. only then can we progress my dear Pouyan.
