Jack Rich has a powerful indictment of the Iranian mullahs who decided that their hatred of Israel is greater than their love for their own people, with their decision to reject that nation's offer of humanitarian aid for the earthquake victims of Bam. Jack also points out the insistent decency of Israel's reaction to what would be called a snub if it wasn't a matter of life and death.

One has to wonder how much longer the people of Iran will tolerate such indifference by their rulers. How ironic it would be if the mullahs are ultimately consigned to crypts built, in effect, by their own hands from the rubble of Bam. How ironic if this earthquake levels not just a city, but also a regime.
