        I thought the Zoroastrians all left centuries ago to India ? Surprised there are any left. Also, what can you expect ? It’s Iran. It doesn’t abide by Western law.

        Not trying to teach Iran anything. Making the point that they have their own laws. Live by them if you live there.

        This in a way this reminds me of our Democrats. If they don't like something you say or stand for, they start screaming you're a racist Russian bot, Nazi. Thank goodness they don't have control or many of us would be accused of being these and lashes we would get!

        A regime born by hostage taking, will always be a hostage taker. He was taken hostage bcz: 1) he was American dual national 2) #Zoroastrian, #Iran historical #religion the Islamist regime hates 3) bcz he was wealthy = immediate $$ for the thieves of the ayatollahs.

        I explained above why he was targeted, they need hostages, he was wealthy and non-Muslim. But nowhere as rich as mullahs and many other much healthier iranians. He's relatively poor compare to typical iranian-American millionaires

        Thanks for admitting Democrats provide leadership and would do something. The question should be what would Republicans and Democrats working together accomplish for an American. Not surprised by your response. So typical of what is expected.
