================================================ Subject: Re: All these add up to 11 From: "Ninja Mom" To: Date: Sat 15 Sep 2001 17:13:07 -0500 ================================================ I don't really care about what people send to the list, and I usually don't complain. However, this one bothered me - this line in particular: "119 is the area code to Iraq/Iran. 1 + 1 + 9 = 11" First of all, by including this in that whole list of crap, it is insinuating that Iraq and Iran had something to do with this whole mess. This just adds fuel to the ignorant people who generalize people with countries and/or religions and want to place the blame on them. It's no different than everyone in this country being blamed for what Timothy McVeigh did. It angers me that people are so narrow minded that they cannot figure out they are not one in the same. And second, if the person that orignally wrote this had any brains and knew how to do any type of research, I would be surprised. Iran, (and I speak only of Iran because that's what I'm familiar with) does not even have an "area code" so to speak. They have country codes, and city codes(which are similar to our area codes) both of which are 2 digit #s and the country code is 98. Not really very close to 119. Just my 2 cents.
