No. If you stomach an insulting answer, at least as insulting as
yours, allow me to tell you that it's as smart as can be, considering
the target.
I would love it if you did not need any particular explanation to
_see_ that Iran is not an imperialist country. The very fact that you
ask for "facts" in order to have such a basic thing proven only shows
how short we are today of some certainties that were those upon which
Leninism, that is revolutionary social democracy, was built by the
turn of the 19th/20th centuries.
As far as to understanding what kind of a country Iran is, all the
statistics you need can be found, in factm on Lenin's brochure on the
issue. I am not against statistics. In fact, that is what I live off.
But in this case, whatever else you ask for shows that you need to be
explained that the Earth is not flat.
That is what I call "statistical cretinism". JoaquÃn has gentlemanly
bowed to it. Today I am grumpy, and I simply can't stand it.
