That would be tyranny. Imagine the pressure on young people. Not to discover themselves, who they are and what they want to be, no. But to conform to some exterior standard or be completely and mercilessly ostracised, excluded from society.

I highly doubt that.

To be honest, if what you say is true, the university massively overreacted. I’m sorry for your ordeal.

However, you do seem like someone who is still fighting a lot of internal demons. And doesn’t seem to have a mature grip on reality. Administrators trying to “get you” and celebrating your arrest? Please.

I’m really feeling we are not hearing the entire story here.

So you mean you must go through Cheney's spokesman to interview him?

Knowing the history of Radio Free Europe, are you in any way affiliated with the CIA? If not, do you still come under suspicion of being affiliated with the CIA, especially when back in Russia? Have you been back to Chechnya over the past 15 years? If so, how do you view it differently, now that you have lived abroad?

Do you speak fluent (or at least passable) Farsi? Have you actually lived in Iran among regular people for an extended period of time? I read your bio, but this isn't mentioned. Nothing personal, just trying to better understand your background, and what unique insights you can bring to the discussion. Thanks.
