I distinctly remember watching on the news Iranian youth in Tehran holding candlelight vigils the days after 9/11.

But, if you ask most Americans, I'll bet you they will say that never happened and, instead, they will say they all got together and cheered...even though that event in Iran was covered in the press.

Heck, even the Mayor of Tehran the wrote a letter of condolence to NYC in general and it was published in the New York Times the day after 9/11.

(The press does need to cover these events of humanity a lot better than they currently do.)
The Fascist Republican Party always controls through fear and ignorance. If you study real U.S. history you will see they always have.
