In Pasadena, we have STATS, a store that sells Christmas decorations

Guess it would be stranger if Jewish religious items we being made by
Iran, Iraq and Lybia.

As a Jew who's traveled extensively in Iran, and who just returned from
Iraq a couple weeks ago, I can tell you there are small but thriving
Jewish
communities in both countries. Iran has the largest Jewish population in
the Middle East after Israel. And I'm sure both would manufacture and
sell
anything others would buy, just like China.

Why would anyone want to live in Iran unless:
-They were one of the religious nuts who run the place?
-There was alot of money in it?


Guy asked me one time why anyone would want to live in a two-room shack on
Lower Second Creek in Perry County, Kentucky -- no running water, no indoor
toilet, heat from a coal-stove, no cable TV, two dogs sleeping in the
corner.

Simple: Because it's home.

Not every one drives a Hummer -- or even wants to.
