MEMRITV: "The New Middle East" - Iranian TV Video
The following is the text [original video at the link above] from an Iranian dramatic clip, titled "The New Middle East," which aired on the Iranian news channel (IRINN) on October 19, 2006. In it, a small girl expresses her wish for the killing of U.S. Secretary State Condoleezza Rice.
Girl [voice over]: How come we are considered terrorists? You are the ones who bomb and harm Lebanon. You are destroying its beauty, its appeal, its land, its people, its happiness... And after all this, we are the terrorists?! A journalist once asked me: If they took you to see Condoleezza Rice, what would you say to her? I told the journalist that I would say to Condoleezza Rice: For me to be happy - you should be killed. Just these words.
[Condoleezza Rice is then shown on screen playing the piano, against a rolling backdrop of war scenes. The following text is shown on screen, as the backdrop continues]

2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments.

I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."

What? No credit to Mahmoud Imannutjob for supplying Hezbollah with Iranian-manufactured missiles that have been fired at Israel for the preceding five years. Surely some oversight.
