Ugly regimes

I do not think Iran has an ugly regime, and probably no one in Bangladesh thinks so. We have had a very good relations with Iran (both govt. to govt. and people to people) not only today, but since centuries, long before the United States of America was even born. Iranians are a highly civilised and proud nation, which had not been a colony of any country since the time after Alexander the Great.

I do not understand why you had to reprint Mr. Zakaria's 'How to change ugly regimes' in the DS (June 23) containing a US point of view that is likely to offend the sensibility of many people in the world including our friends the Iranians?
