If you blame someone else, you don't learn nothing, cause hey, it's not your fault, it's his fault, over there. -Joe Strummer en Vox Mon, 03 Dec 2007 20:06:22 -0800 Copyright 2007 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss iran http://maxvan.vox.com/library/post/just-a-note-on-iran.html?_c=feed-rss nobody@vox.com(Maxvan) http://maxvan.vox.com/library/post/just-a-note-on-iran.html?_c=feed-rss http://maxvan.vox.com/library/post/just-a-note-on-iran.html?_c=feed-rss Mon, 03 Dec 2007 20:06:22 -0800 Those of us claiming that Iran was negotiable are still right.
