iran on India

Iran has so much to teach us Indians about orderly debate and articulate speech. Even the people on the streets to be so much more articulate than our politicians. I began wondering what stops them from making their make in areas like software. Well maybe ahmedinijad is not letting the light shine through into the engineering colleges. Which might not be completely true we have so many successful Iranian academics and engineering professionals here in the US. Ofcourse strained relations with the US - but does that mean you have to be chummy with the US to be able to make technological progress. Or is the very premise of my argument - is it that all the progress is being put to mostly military use.
