I wrote this as a general response tonight on the Roxana blog which is now among the most discussed.Several people were still arguing about her guilt or innocence. Roxana went up yesterday morning and Delara last night. I thought I’d blog i tweaked it just a little. I’m tired.

Some of you people just don’t get it.
IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER ROXANA IS INNOCENT OR GUILTY. IT IS IRRELEVANT. IT WOULD NOT MATTER WHETHER SHE WERE GOEBBELS OR MOTHER THERESA. SHE IS A BARGAINING CHIP AND IRI WOULD’VE FOUND HER INNOCENT OR GUILTY AND DETERMINED THE SENTENCE ACCORDING TO THEIR MOVE IN THE NEW GREAT GAME.
She is a political hostage. That’s all. She is ONE UNiQUELY STRATEGICALY VALUABLE HOSTAGE.
But she’s ALSO an actor in one great horror movie being shot and shown in Horrorwood IRI over weeks. And this movie has stars up for Academy Awards. Beautiful talented young actors. Roxana and Delara are up for the Oscars. So is the young handsome blogger. His performance was death. He had to die because blogging is the central nerve without which no activism can exist. And so you see the whole human rights issue is being used as a chip in the new great game. The move is: you will have to give up a LOT if you want to touch human rights and if you don’t believe it, guess what, we have Roxana for eight years, just like you may have Obama… suspense.
it is no longer possible for internal human rights and geopolitics to be the central political rift among the expat community. That’s obsolete. So btw anyone who thinks they can scream Israel ONLY this time and ignore human rights in Iran must remember Roxana.
So what does the rest of the horror movie consist of? Let’s see…carefully orchetrated scenes of lawyers, Bahai, labor leaders, the million sig activists, Sufis, the dead martyrs of Akhavan, students-eight still in Evin, almost no contact with the outside world–tthe trial of the Seven Bahai (one Christiain for good measure)–even the doctors, AIDS doctors, the MOST necessary doctors–just to prove how far they’re willing to go. But that was just a little tap, a little warning–they were acquitted quickly. And just now even the pornographers. Did I miss anyone? And this past week it’s been exciting, the movie. There’ve been the Bahai that was supposed to be released and wasn’t and the 26 pornographers, co-starring with Roxana and Delara. So you see Roxana and Delara are sco-stars.
But the diference between the two is that Roxana won’t get so much as a paper cut in prison anytime soon. She has Mama Hillary and Daddi-O watching out for her. But today was the elventh hour and no one could watch over Delara, she had no one but us. Roxana could’ve waited til tomorrow.
And I bet Roxana eats well in prison and I bet if she wants to paint she can too. Delara was called the Prisoner of Colors because of all her amazing paintings. So the hey took away her paints and when she tried to scratch drawings on the wall they moved her to solitary where she slit her wrists. A couple of years ago. And they never let her paint d again.
In my personal opinion today was Delara’s day.
But that’s just my opinion

PS For Delara, I thank those who did give her her day.
And for those who didn’t, who only care about geopolitics, Well, Roxana does cover mmore bases in the game of chips between Horrorwood and Daddi-o. But in the end it’s all the same game of chips, with human rights the biggest chip along with Roxana. They’re not just showing he horror movie to terrorize their own people. To remind them that no matter who wins the elections, Khameneii is always the winner. They’re doing it to remind Hillary and O of the same thing.
So who will win the Oscar in Horrorwood IRI?
