If Americans Knew

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

If Americans Knew is a website I came across a couple of times by chance while reading other Middle Eastern blogs and just watching YouTube.

Sexuality In Iran

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

+ Moronic stickers.
+ Email and phone number in full view [...]

Keep Buying Your Toys

Friday, September 7th, 2007

“What are they thinking? They’re thinking we’re running out. We’re running out and ninety percent of what’s left is in the Middle East. So if you look at the whole progression from Versailles, through Suez, 1973, Gulf War One, Gulf War II, it’s really shaping up as a fight to the death. So what they’re [...]
