hanson I thought you were going to hang yourself :) Your
last post (to Oldman) was alarming.

Anyway, listen "honey", if Curzon, i.e. the creme de la
creme of Western civilization intelligence, one whose
highest intellectual achievement was his monumental book on
Iran ("Persia and the Persian Question"), when describing
Iranians falls for it, then it is easy for me to excuse a
mortal Hanson. Check this passage from that book:

   " And how faithfully do the cities and people
   respond to the suggestion that is always eloquent
   around them. Majestic ruins that tell of a populous
   and mighty past rear their heads amid deserted
   wastes and vagabond tents. Tiny and ill-nurtured
   children grow up into robust men. Conversely, female
   beauty in early youth is followed by a premature
   decay and ugliness beyond words. Just as from a
   distance a town surrounded by its orchards looks a
   gem of beauty, but shrinks upon nearer approach into
   a collection of clay hovels; and just as in the
   exterior of these houses, consisting of blank and
   unsightly walls of mud, there is no hint of the
   flower-beds and tanks, of the taste and comeliness
   that sometimes prevail within, so does the human
   exterior tell a contradictory tale of its inmate.
   "Splendide mendax" might be taken as the motto of
   Persian character. The finest domestic virtues
   coexist with barbarity and supreme indifference to
   suffering. Elegance of deportment is compatible with
   a coarseness amounting to bestiality. The same
   individual is at different moments haughty and
   cringing. A creditable acquaintance with the
   standards of civilisation does not prevent gross
   fanaticism and superstition. Accomplished manners
   and a more than Parisian polish cover a truly superb
   faculty for lying and almost scientific imposture.
   The most scandalous corruption is combined with a
   scrupulous regard for specified precepts of the
   moral law. Religion is alternately stringent and
   lax, inspiring at one moment the bigot's rage, at
   the next the agnostic's indifference. Government is
   both patriarchal and Machiavellian in its finished
   ingenuity of wrong doing. Life is both magnificent
   and squalid; the people at once despicable and
   noble; the panorama at the same time an enchantment
   and a fraud."

The best mind of the 19th and early 20th century
Britain that he was or truly was a candidate for, he
stayed still absolutely "confused shitless" about
Iranians throughout his entire life despite his never
ending interest and research on Iran. That same
individual, later in 1919-21 years, as British foreign
secretary, tried with all his might to make a British
colony out of Iran. He was similarly confused and
astonished, as in the above passage he'd written thirty
years prior to that, when he realized that the cheap
corrupt Iranian crooks he had helped get all the seats
in the Iranian parliament wouldn't allow him to do
that! He died in 1924 a confused man about Iran. Hanson,
you're going to die, one day, a confused man about Maleki.
