Only problem is I can’t understand what the blog is saying.

Oh the media and it’s distortions.

I read the whole text last night (you can select languages), and this is the passage that “attacks” the US:

My father used to buy newspaper all the time. I remember one day, when I was in first grade, by looking through a newspaper – with the help of the adults in our house- I read the news of the capitulation passage by the shah’s so called “parliament.” Even though I did not understand the meaning of that issue at that time, but due to the protests and the objections of the religious schools of thoughts with the leadership of Imam Khomeini -Almighty God bless his soul- and the relentless reaction of the extinct shah, I realized that Mohammad Reza attempted to add another page to his vicious case history which was the humiliation and indignity of the Iranian people versus Americans. That was the year that the extinct shah slaughtered many followers of Imam Khomeini.
Imam Khomeini was released from prison. I never forget Imam Khomeini’s speeches during those years which was very persuasive and appealing. You would hear the strong faith to Almighty God in his orations. He invited the people to pure Islam. His message was invitation to the belief of monotheism- Unity and Oneness of God- and also justice, elimination of oppression, injustice and sedition in the world. He was courageous and had a valiant heart. He spoke firmly and securely. His orations were simple and honest. The people accepted his guidance sincerely. Due to these characteristics, he was a beloved leader for every individuals-young or elderly. Of course he was a disgrace for shah’s regime and his Americans masters. Notably, even among his enemies, he was respected with a special honor.

Now, is that an “attack” on America? A brief review of Ahmadinejad’s life by Admadinejad himself plus Iranian history?

Blogs..well they have tremendous power as their viewer base isn’t restricted by borders of nationalities or skills. The main reason that Blogs have grown as fast as they have is the anonymity that they afford.

Unfortunately this also means that Blogs are quite litterally unreliable as a source of information - this is not discounting the people that do blog (i do so myself) but anything blogged has to be taken with a grain of salt unless followed up by further queries into the topics they’re displaying.

I’m not surprised that Blogs now attacts a darker side with obvious negative intentions..
