#1 Maui based diploma mill bilks Iranians... Who would have thunk it. Judging by the street address listed at www.auh.edu, this esteemed institution of higher learning is wedged between a gas station and a marine repair shop where I used to get my boat serviced. Guess I never noticed the "campus". Something tells me this might actually be the outboard repair guys having some fun and profit at Iranian expense.

#3 Prior to the Mullahcracy, Iran had a well-educated western-oriented society. Theocracy and the dumbing-down inherent in Islamic societies will be their downfall as a society. Those Iranians who remember the Shah's days, I'm sure, do it with sadness. The Shah's secret police, SAVAK, rarely encroached on other than the same assholes we battle today; Theocrats, Islamists, and Communists
