Obviously no wear near as intellectually challenged as yourself. Let me put it to you this way. What does the opinion of a member of the Iranian parliment matter to an American or an American politician? Not a damn thing. The opinion of that individual means nothing. To someone in the Middle East, what some politician from the congress in the United States has to say is essentially meaningless. If you believe it does you have bought into the hubris that the majority of Americans have bought into. The incredible level of over-importance that Americans place on their political leaders is embarassing. The politics of the muslim world will be decided by muslims, not by a group of self-important Americans whose government has lost all face in the Middle East and is considered the greatest enemy the region has. The Americans have made a mess in the region. It is highly unlikely that anything they say will hold much weight in the region. The paper tiger has been caged.
