Well, I guess that leaves it pretty clear where you are coming from.
I'm surprised you could consider supporting Gore or Kerry. They are
pretty middle of the road, really. I suspect Kerry would do little to
change what Bush has done -- he just would not be as up-front and
abrasive in doing it (e.g., another Clinton).

Given your characterizaton above, the only main-stream American
politician of the past century I could see aligned even remotely with
your ideas is Henry Wallace -- and that would be quite a stretch.

Actually, if he wants to align himself with a current "functioning"
government of his ilk, he (Davoud) needs to take a trip south to Florida and
keep going until he hits the water line. At that point, jump in a boat and
set a course to the southwest. When he gets to the first beach (the one
with a bearded old man in a military uniform holding an AK47), he has found
his new home.


He may already be there. From above he said:

the great country that _invented_ the concept of revolution by the
radical left.

That cannot be the US .. since it is hard to consider Washington,
Jefferson, et al -- many of whom were slave-owning landed aristrocacy --
as "the radical left". Nor would Danton, Murat and Robespierre qualify.
So maybe Davoud *is* refering to such as Fidel and Che and lives in Cuba.
