Teheran and Caracas: So far, yet so close

June 18, 2003


 


 


I identify completely with what is going on in Teheran, it is amazing how I can visualize it so easily, sounds just like home.. The news tonight reminds me so much of Caracas many times during the last year, except repression there is more open and harsher. Even the bias in the Reuters report is similar. It makes it sound as if the US is leading the way in these protests. But these people are simply fed up the same way we are in Venezuela, except they have suffered longer. If any Iranians read this: Remember don’t count on anyone to come and help, you will have to do it yourself. For news and links check out Persianboy, Blogiran, Persianblogger Chronicles, Iran testimony and a bunch of links at buzzmachine. Check out the pictures in this blog of a burned out dormitory. There is also a video at an MIT site.  Lot’s of stuff to catch up with if you are interested. I am just waiting for the leftists of the world to come and defend the poor guys from the Iranian Government and how this minority is protesting and does not reflect the view of the majority of Iranians and the US is interfering. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda.
