In the hands of the people but people are using -- Sunday to affect change and that's the key here it is all of us is key and could man. Moussaoui is not going to change Iran in --"
" This history and when I read city like execute a thousand people yeah well in that time span of three weeks in the early eighties yes there was some thousand and -- 7000 -- yes but the point -- good good good I just said that doesn't -- like a good choice maybe that Ahmadinejad wants to strike Italy Israel rather Italy Italy already. I want destroy Israel and then it got most savvy who actually oversaw the exchange of 7000 people in the eighties that's the choice and this is why."
