I just don't really understand how a few people (those making all the 
rumors) can make a whole population so distrustful.  The US was quick and
kind to immediately send food and supplies to Iran, instead we are called
names and told that the food we sent would not be eaten because they are
on strict diets and to send CASH!

CASH! who in the h_ll do they think they are?  They should be thankful that
people are concerned and really want to help.  I feel for the children
and the women and the families who have lost everything but don't bite
the hand that feeds you.


They don't want our help then forget them.

My .2 worth.
