I work just hundreds of feet from Mirzakhani's office. She wasn't a terrorist.

I didn't down vote you, but you may find this[1] long read of how CIA and British Intelligence destabilized Iran in 1953. When its democratically elected President Mosadegh was trying to nationalize the Oil resources. Thereby setting a chain of events which might have set it a few decades back at least.

That'd be like the Pilgrims calling the Native warriors 'terrorists' ... well 'barbarian'.

I don't condone Hamas, nor do I care for Islam, but no one comes close to contemporary Israel when it comes to inhumane and brutal war-crimes. I mean to drop Phosphorous on armless people ? That should take some cruel heart. It's not just Israel, US used depleted Uranium in Iraq, and before that Napalm in Vietnam. The brutality and the mass silence towards such blatant war crimes is stunning.

Throwaway accounts used for political flamewar are particularly not ok here. Would you please not do that?
