Dear Sir/Madam
Recently YAHOO removed Persia (Iran) from the country lists of their webmail services as part of stronger US sanctions against that country. Is this any way to win over Persian people's hearts and minds?
Since the spread of Internet in Persia (Iran), undoubtedly YAHOO has been one of the most favorite websites for the youth to create an email account and chat services.
E-mail accounts in YAHOO quickly became a serious way for young Persian people to maintain contact with the outside world for freely exchanging ideas with those outside in a country where the media is under government control and the country is increasingly being isolated in many aspects because of the political problems between the government and the west.
After a long time of pro-democracy movements by the young generation and students in Persia (Iran), recently many politicians, especially in the United States have pointed out that "people" of Iran are separated from their "government" and Western world must do everything to support their pro-freedom movements through cultural and educational exchanges.
The recent action by YAHOO to remove Iran from its list has no effect or exerts no pressure on Iranian government. It's just an additional help for those who are trying to cut off Iran's "PEOPLE" from the outside world.
YAHOO's act has targeted the people of Persia at a time when they're faced with the difficult challenge for bringing about a freer society.
We would like to ask that YAHOO reverse this new unwise policy by adding PERSIA (IRAN) to its list of countries to show its support for the people's pro-democracy movement.

- It's a shame west people screw up politics with Internet , communication worldwide. Yahoo is an International wide world web site that all over the world use it. We are living in 21 Century, century of communication and technology without border. Its totaly wrong and stupid decision that they make in the history of world. Iran should be in the list like another country.

- It is repulsive to see your company (yahoo) getting involve so easily in petty and nasty politicking. People around the world and in Iran are aware of your filthy role in breaching the privacy laws and ethical rules by revealing the identity of your costumers (users of your account) to repressive authorities in countries such as China. It seems that you easily give up your ideals and principals (if you have any). Well, thankfully people have choice. They can see that other companies such as Google not only defend their principals and resist pressure, but also provide better service. Continue doing what you do, and you are doomed to fail in such a competitive market with well-informed users. Be careful, Iranian nation will remember this ...

- This will cut off people inside Iran to exchange information with others. This is an unwise policy which should be reversed.

- Yahoo's removal of Iran only hurts the people in Iran. It creates another barrier for free movement of information in Iran which is extremely crucial for progress toward democracy.
