HUMAN first, then a proud IRANIAN

This blog represents the way I see some of the most significant events impacting the world and its citizens. This blog also represents how I react to the events as a member of humanity with a voice, a determined voice that insists to be heard. The voice of an Iranian who loves his country but his priority is humanity; humanity without border. I will say what I want to say, when I want to say it, and how I want to say it, but I will never lie. I will also listen; I promise.

Bush Booed at Martin Luther King Gravesite

"Bush go home" and "peace not war" the predominantly black crowd of protesters shouted from behind a barrier of buses, as Bush paid tribute to King on the 75th anniversary of his birth."

"For President Bush to come to Martin Luther King Jr.'s crypt is the height of hypocrisy," the Reverend Tim McDonald of Concerned Black Clergy said in an e-mailed statement.

"President Bush's policies have, with deliberate intent, reversed decades of progress and increased racial inequality, job loss, poverty rates and global insecurity."

As Bush arrived, a crowd of 700 to 800 people booed and held signs that said "Get Rid of Bush in 2004," and "Bush is a Mass Murderer." Read here.

Bush placed a wreath on King's grave before heading to a $2,000-a-plate fund-raiser in Atlanta. Who can afford to pay for those plates? And why do they pay? Ever thought about it?
