Kudos to Ray Bolger… “If I only had a brain…”
Mr. Porter don’t know any thing about mullah’s regime in Iran. Iranian regime is after the nuclear bomb and even a child in Iran know about that. I fell sorry for Mr. Porter and his idea about Iran. We the Iranian people regime will change this regime soon. Thank you
