Thank you for that
Thanks for not taking my post as a slight, it certainly wasn't intended as such.
I do think, though, that there are certain levels beneath which we as a species don't need to descend.
Agreed. I guess what I was suggesting is that the western world has it's own holes to climb out of. From what I read and hear about the younger generations of Iranians, they'll do just fine, especially if the west can keep it's mits off the place.
I'm just not sure we have any lessons to teach them.
