I'm sorry to hear such a negative attitude. Those who wish to create S.C.I are
not necessarily directly involved with the hostage-takers and are not all
members or voters for the Iranian Govt by a long chalk.

From the input to other S.C.* groups that I trace, these contributors comprise
mostly of N.Americans who have an interest in the particular subject.

Don't penalise people for things that are beyond their control: should the ng
S.C.british have been setup whilst the British are in N.Ireland?

I agree that the situation in Iran is terrible regarding hostages, but blaming
& punishing others is my idea of reactionary tripe.

Only trying to help,
