THE BEST IS YET TO COME

Let not forget the forgotten. The west with their violence are encouraging PATRIOTIC reaction. Vietcong were created by the actions of the west they did not exist before US took over the imperial presents from French. The more we the west deploy forces in the region the more profound resistance we will face, its natural and basic human response.

9/11 Again!

Pre 9/11 conditions related to Middle East have not changed a bit. The events that lead to that vicious attack are still being played out. Israel still occupies Palestine with tacit or direct support from US and West. Saudi, Egyptian, Jordanian, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait kings and unelected DICTATORS get red carpet treatment in US. We seem to have either intentionally or unavoidably have ignored all the indicators that 800 million people in Middle east are not getting voices heard.

Iraq is still and will continue to be a mess, don't fool yourselves in believing that Jeffersonian democracy and freedom has arrived in Baghdad on board Humvee. And about Afghanistan the guerrilla war will go on indefinitely or until like Vietnam US loses appetite and/or decides that pulling out will be better than staying in another words body counts out number number of so called "elections". The covert operations, unmanned drones, and psych ops will not do a thing they just make good news bites and articles for folks back home, nothing more.

Pakistan will also be yet another source of continued pain and suffering for all the players.

Solution - As said before NEED A VIABLE PALESTINIAN STATE and the rest will be done organically without West having to do anything other than cultivating the process.

Harsh Interrogation - well well well

I think its time for CIA interrogators to fly to Iran and attend the harsh interrogations at EVIN prison and be a mentor to those that are trying to keep Iranians safe. I am certain they could use some on the job training. FreeDUM and homeland security is protected through HARSH interrogations and sexually assaulting enemy mothers. Great new language is being developed, it makes George Orville smile!!

I am thinking weather the Americans that were picked up at the Iraqi border are being harshly interrogated, with Republican argument that it must be done this way, Iranians are entitled to harsh interrogation of these hikers. Is that a cover for some Seal or Ranger operation to locate targets in Iran???? Oh no we never do that, its just those crazy wingnutts that invade, occupy, carpet bomb, shock and awe the hated enemy.

I guess we will have to pay for electing bunch of wingnutts twice mind you for decades to come.

OH WELL .........

West Moral Compass

West lead by US during the BUSH era lost the little post colonial moral capital they had by doing exactly what Chines, Algerians, Egyptians, Saudis,... others do to their opponent. Primitively with missiles killing 'suspects', detaining without charge 'profiled suspects' without any evidence, and supporting Israel when they bomb the hell of Lebanon and kill at will in occupied land.

Iran and other dictatorial countries then tell themselves what the fuck US and EU does it so let the basijis kick some local ass and kill them suckers before they kill us. Imprison anyone we think might want to harm us, does that sound familiar!!!

Bubble Economies

We in US had Internet bubble in 90's, then Housing bubble 00's and are setting things up for Green bubble followed by Health care bubble..... as so on. The market economy that is not really free and at the same time not really supervised or allowed to have SMART REGULATION will have to survive with BUBBLES. The political economy that will continue to be messed with by the political party in power will waste resources, kill animals, start wars with WMD lies, and occasionally use patriotism to rally the troops. The system then is able to pacify "we the people" and fizzle any real grass root attempt the create sustainable and just social/economical framework.

Iran Election (aka Selection)

Regardless of how the election results works its self out in the near and long term one fact remains solid that event in Iran will for GOOD change how Middle East is run. The dictators both US allies or otherwise will now have to content with new set of standards on accountability and responsiveness to PEOPLE. The unelected leaders in Egypt, Israel (until Palestinians get to vote), Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Sudan, Algeria, yes even Turkey are on notice that people are not going to just lay down and let the dictators ram it to them. The civil society standards are now being outlined in streets of Tehran and other cites in the middle east. These rules are not based on Judi-Christian values of some distant land but more real and close and based on Islam and indigenous cultural and heritage of the people of middle east.

Once they arrive at the Mecca of their civil society they may still have issues with west and their designs on resources and virgin markets, so don't count on happy ever after when they get their house in order.

The two countries that are off the list namely Iraq and Afghanistan can not begin this journey of people power until their nation is free of foreign occupation forces.

Remember Old Conservatives?

Here is what they had in mind and partly acted on after 9/11 with Bush in and others in power:

American leadership is GOOD and to bring that good to everyone military, diplomatic energy, and moral principles to be used.

I am sure Iraqi's think they are being killed morally and with political energy, so as detainees in Guantanamo, Afghanistan, and Iraq that have not been charged and picked up for resisting military action for many years now.
