U.S. Exports To Iran

  Just a quick little fact for you.

U.S. exports to Iran - including brassieres, bull semen, cosmetics and possibly even weapons - grew more than tenfold during President Bush's years in office even as he accused Iran of nuclear ambitions and helping terrorists. America sent more cigarettes to Iran, at least $158 million worth under Bush, than any other products.

Other surprising shipments to Iran during the Bush administration: fur clothing, sculptures, perfume and musical instruments. Top states shipping goods to Iran include California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin, according to an analysis by The Associated Press of seven years of U.S. government trade data.

  Bush has called Iran one of the " axis of evil " and made such a fuss over Iran's nuclear ambitions, but we still send goods there?

Boys Father Calls For Internet Regulation Of Website's

  This is after his 19 year old son committed suicide live online by way of his webcam this past Wednesday. Now daddy wants tougher regulation of web-sites.

  I have one thing to say about this.

   Mr Biggs, your son had an online presence for some time that you were not aware of. Your son also was bipolar and on the medication which he killed himself with. Your son had threatened suicide online to his audience on more than one occasion in the past.

   I'm sorry for your loss Mr Biggs, but apparently neither you or any other family members were watching your son as close as you maybe should have. Internet web-sites don't need tougher regulation Mr Biggs. I would think that maybe your home-site needed tougher regulation instead.
