Let Iranians settle it

Political unrest in Iran has been a matter of great concern for the Islamic world but it obviously pleases the US, Israel and their western allies a great deal. Most of the western media is exaggerating the news coming from Tehran. While it is true that those killed in the unrest constitute a case of human rights violations, no one can justify the killings of innocents, but if you look closely at the headlines of the US media, the whole picture become clear. The world has certainly become a global village and no internal matter is today internal for any nation. The western world should give a chance to Iran to settle the problem itself. It has a democratic system of government and great institutions that can still pull the nation out of this crisis. -MUHAMMAD ARIF SHAFI, Peshawar, via e-mail, June 23.
