      any pics of it? from last cup i mean.
      and any interviews from the american wrestlers?
      rly curious what they have to say after visiting iran!
      IRI's politics is no different than handling a pressure cooker ..... As the pressure builds up, you slowly let the steam out just a tad bit so that you don't see overflow, and once the pressure from below is less, you put the lid down again and raise the temperature.
