USA under Obama,s presidency will come to resemble the Last years of Sassanid Iran more & more….
1–Both Yazdgird & Obama were preceded by tough & pragmatic Rulers.
Yazdgird
was preceded by his father ,Shah Khosro Parviz who was faced with a demand by hazrateh Mohammad(pbuh) to convert to Islam or pay tribute and replied by tearing apart the letter and kicking the Arab messenger out of his court and swiftly sent part of his army south to hovaizeh marshland to guard against any rebelion. He Organized an Army of 220000 in 602AD and began war with Rome to avenge his friend Roman Emperor Maurice. His armies plundered Syria and Asia Minor, and in 608 advanced to Chalcedon.
In 613 and 614 Damascus and Jerusalem were taken by the general Shahrbaraz, and the True Holy Cross was carried away in triumph. Soon after, General Shahin marched through Anatolia and conquered Egypt in 618. The Romans could offer but little resistance, as they were torn by internal dissensions, and pressed by the Avars and Slavs. In 626, Persian general Shahrbaraz advanced to Chalcedon and tried to capture Constantinople with the help of Persia,s Avar allies. His attempt failed, and he withdrew his army from Anatolia later in 628.
Obama
Was preceded by a pragmatist leader with a vision to answer bullet with bullet .George w Bush Faced with the all out threat from Jehadists Invaded Afghanistan, captured the land and freed the Afghanis from Years of Totaleterian rule by Taliban.In 2003 He on the pretext of WMD invaded the country of Iraq and toppled it,s dictatorial regime.He stood firm against the Idelogical bound regimes in middle east and lefties in Central & south America.
2–Both Sassanid Iran and USA were too involved with waging war on another super power that they miscalculated the lesser threat from Ideologicaly inclined Jehadists growing under their nose.
Yazdgird
The focus on Roman & Huns wars prior to his inaugeration and the huge loss of revenues & men (loss and capture of over 170000 iranian soldiers from 602AD to 633AD) and subsequent 10 year civil war to find a right blooded sassanid king.
But the real foe was The growing threat from the the Khalifate of Arabia ever expanding reach and loss of Lakhshemite Arabs(the arab nonmuslim allies of Iran in southern Iraq) due to political in fighting inside the Regime who didn,t see the need to increase their Arms expenditure.
Obama
The Decades long cold war with Soviet Union and a dozen global war against leftists regimes and concentrating the forces on threats from China or Soviet Union and their satelites caused USA to miss the Growing threats posed by Ideological Extremist Jehadists from Arabia & Pakistan who as of late had infilterated all over the Muslim world and were preparing to attack US bases and interests inside & outside of the Homeland.Finally the War in Iraq and It,s mismanagment caused the other jehadists regimes in middle east to smell US weakness and start poking at it,s wounded nose .Meanwhile internal discontent grew inside US and people grew tired of War and were mezmorized by promise of rosy peaceful future without war by candidate Obama.”Dialogue with Jehadists” was his motto. The Economy was in shambels and bleeding from inflation & unemployment.
3–Both Yazdgird & Obama were young ,inexperienced and naive.
YazdgirdIII
YazdgirdIII was chosen as king following 10 years of meyham in the kingdome court and years of assasination in Darbar.The noble could not find a single Sassanid blood heir.So the grand wazir located the 16 year old YazdgirdIII the last son of Khosrow Parviz & a Roman Egyptian Slave Negress “Ugiana” whom Khosrow met in Alexandria had chosen to take to tisphoon and bewed.The younge YazdgirdIII had to learn running an Empire on the fly and before He could see himself as an adult, was faced with a huge army of Khaliff on the Basrah and koufah.His generals asked him to organize a large Army and face the Arabs on their own Turf in the south side of marshes but He refused and instead led the Khaliff,s Army come to within 30 kilometers of Tisphoon in “Ghadesiah” and force a battle on Iranian land close to Capital.It was a mistake.The rest is History.
Obama
Obama Started his candidacy with promises of peace and tranquility for all.He promised to open a dialogue with leaders of the Jehadists Extremists Regimes and groups in Middle east.He promised to pull US troops out of most of the troubled spots in Middle east and around the globe.His spiritual Mentor was an Anti American.His wife thought that only recently she felt proud to be an American.Obama just like Yazdgird was a son born between an American and a Foreigner.His Dad left him and his mom when he was 1 and never met him again.He lived in Indonesia until age 6 with his Step father & his Mom .He was raised on a fairy tale vision of changing the world with a sweet smile and lots of talk.Thus when He accepted the presidency of USA the whole Jehadist movement was Grining .Could I be wrong and He is a great leader for America who will prove us wrong ? .I hope I am , Or ?
Will See!!!
