I guess the descendents of American slaves need a better lobby. Seek advice from AIPAC.

The U.S. can't tell Iran a damn thing about reparations for "victims." The Iranian people were victims of our engineering of the overthrow of their democratically elected government. How about they ask us for reparations for installing the Shah and bringing the country to financial and moral ruin?\

Oh no...can't have that, huh?

Pfffft....please. I've been on this earth for 45 years and i've yet to find any evidence of "white guilt." I don't think anyone feels guilt for a damn thing and never did feel any guilt that i can see.

There isn't a person alive today that deserves reparations for slavery.

That's probably because there's nothing to be guilty for.

Without having read the link, why would Iran give a crap about a US court decision?
