  Abbas, that may be your modus operandi but I prefer dignity.
  
  So don't judge others by your standards.
  
  So, if those "new opportunities" in Russia, Iran and China, are so much better than here where "we would be left behind, devoid of innovation and technology, hewers of water and tillers of land", why aren't you over there enjoying the gentle hospitality of those brutal dictatorships that you so admire?
  
  Could it be that it's much more comfortable to live here with a high standard of loving, a good future, enjoying the benefits of the rule of law and respect for human rights?
  
  Go back to Iran, or Russia, or China, and enjoy the vicious repression that you so admire.
