Actually, in Iran one's free to express anti-Israel sentiments to one's
heart's content.

Didn't see the article, Kestas, so I'm curious -- did the article specify
what Butch actually said?  And by "charged with harassment", do you mean
criminally?  Was there a libel suit?  Or did someone just express the view
that Butch was harassing the host?  Just wondering what the rules are --
it's OK to say anything one wants, as long as one doesn't criticize anyone
else for what they say?
