America's aggressions upsets meIn response to J. Javid's "Chasing liberty": You know what the truth is? No one cares, really no one. Deep down I'm worried, concerned, amazed at all the stupidity, and pissed off more often than anything else, but when it'll come down to it I probably don't care enough to do anything. You know why? Because I won't be affected directly. The worst scenario is that America or Israel (I don't know what the difference is) will fully attack Iran with bombs and soldiers on the ground dragging Iran into a bloody war not unlike Iraq or any of the previous countries America has attacked practically every five years. The question is that will this in any way affect me or any member of my family? No, not really. In the eight long years war of Iran-Iraq, which America was directly responsible for and supported Saddam and even the gassing of my people, I was quite certain and fairly comfortable that my family would be ok. They have a house outside of Tehran, fairly secured in the mountains. Every aunt and uncle and their families spent the bombing days and nights there without having a window broken. Nearly all of my cousins, male cousins, were able to either dodge the draft, flee the country, or get "desk jobs", so they wouldn't have to go to the front and fight. So, am I worried about my family? No. Will any of them be hurt by this coming rape of fresh meat by the Americans? No. Do I care? Not enough to do any more than write this. But the biggest question is that do I care and does it upset me that America has done, is doing, and will do whatever she wants? Yes, I do and it pisses me off. It upsets the hell out of me that for the past forty years that I have been on this Earth, America has been involved in just about every unrest in every corner of this planet. You cannot count five consecutive years, where America has not stuck her nose in other country's business. Why? Who picked them as the world police? Do you remember voting for that? I don't! Why don't the pussy Europeans say or do anything solid? Why is China quiet? Where is the balance of world power and justice? Why do darker skinned nations the target of US every time you turn the TV on? Why is Bush mad? I may come up with an answer for all the questions above, but there is one question that really bugs me and that is: What does Condi Rice trying to prove? A black woman, (oh my God, I said black) in a country, where she didn't have permission to eat her own crap couple of decades ago is put in a position to spill so much venom. What the hell is her issue? She sure doesn't have an erectile dysfunction, where she would need to drop big bombs on innocent people far far away to get a hard on like the Neo Cons, or does she? Right now I don't know how I feel about the Mullahs and siding with them once my country is attacked by the Americans. Will I go back and point the gun at an American? I don't know. All I know is that I don't like the way I feel these days at all. And I hold Bush and his "flies circling the sweets" responsible for how I feel. H. PS: By the way, noticed the new TV, nice!
