Righthand: Did nothing happen to that soldier who took the risk of being pictured holding that flag? Knowing the US........ I find it unusual that he got away with it without any sanctions.

@nobelprize4peace:

have regularly clipped and written about this.
I am glad that someone else is also trying to present a true picture of Iran and its experience with the West.

Keep at it!
