Investments Support Iran

I posted this in the sanctions thread but it was pretty much a bomb so I thought I would see what investors thought of it.


HIT IRAN WHERE IT HURTS By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN Mc GANN - New York Post Online Edition: Seven


Will investors do there part? Or will greed take over?

When it comes to money, greed is always king. Unless there's a political motive, such as pension fund control, ROI will always kick idealism in the ditch.

So as long as the fund is making money frfom investing in Iran it is somehow ok?
So the sanction thing should be handled by the govt and the people should be left alone? But you are right--greed will always win over idealism.

Doesn't bother me, But I'm no fan of US or Israeli aggression.

I do know that if I was a ME nation experiencing US and Israeli actions I'd be doing anything I could to develop or obtain nukes as a deterrent factor.

It is too bad that more people do not see it this way. Unfortunately they do not see the aggression you speak of.

Money has no friends, no flag, and no politics. The quicker Americans learn that (prefereably in primary school) the better.

Don't see the agression? Google "Iraq war"
