Why are most dictators men of short stature?


Well! I don't know the answer to that question but I learned of an interesting issue related to NIAC. This organization’s latest act against freedom of expression has been to file a lawsuit against Hassan Daioleslam an Iranian-American commentator. In my opinion Daioleslam articles have not defamed anyone and have used facts available to public. Unfortunately like the Mullahs, Parsi dearly seems to admire, his approach is about silencing voices. Apparently where Parsi says: "Our community will never live up to its full potential in America unless these undemocratic practices are put aside," he means suing each other for talking! Perhaps Parsi needs to be reminded of Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 19.

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
