And though I have many friends amongst the 'Shah's men', I did see the poor who would be out in the streets dleivering goods to Tehran's many bazaars on hand-pulled carts at 2 a.m. in the morning.<br />The 5th column of twittering journalists based in North Tehran never saw them, of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-16235600396976651762009-06-18T04:38:25.588-04:002009-06-18T04:38:25.588-04:00The administration of President Barack Obama in th...The administration of President Barack Obama in the United States could see through the allegorical mode of the Iranian election and probably anticipate the flood of destruction that would follow once vengeance is unleashed. It did just the right thing by staying aloof, studiously detached. Now comes the difficult part - engaging the house that Khamenei presides over as the monarch of all he surveys.<br /><br />How do you make progress in these matters when most of society seems perfectly happy with the status quo? Whatever the answer, what they are doing - hitching their wagon to crooks and Zionist intelligence assets - isn't the way to go. While I'm sure many of the protesters are quite sincere, I can't help but be reminded of the similar protesters against Hugo Chavez, marching against things like progressive taxation and the end of feudal land-holdings. The real reformer was Ahmadinejad, but in the upside-down world of American/Zionist analysis, bad guys are good, and good guys are bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-33793311296872736912009-06-17T20:49:52.624-04:002009-06-17T20:49:52.624-04:00Thank you, Mina.Thank you, Mina.Nader Uskowihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808543185109048956noreply@blogger.com
