In November of 2008 I wrote a series of articles titled “Solutions for Iran” proposing unity of Iranians based on the common principals of:
Territorial integrity, Independence, Separation of Religion and State, Freedom of Expression, Gender Equality , and Human Rights
The article included a roadmap towards organization of peaceful weekly national strike days in Iran until the collapse of the Islamic Republic. (http://iranian.com/main/blog/david-et/solutions-iran-road-map-unity-days). At the time many were skeptical of these possibilities anytime soon, but only 7 months later such visions were proven to be closer to reality.
In Afghanistan we are technically fighting Taliban/AlQaeda who have political ties to Pakistan, that we support with millions of dollars every year. So we are basically fighting ourselves! This war is a another sad mistake.
Well deserved. I am glad she wore a green band but I am also very disappointed: She should have said at least one sentence in front of millions of viewers about Iranian struggle for democracy. One sentence.
Although I had campaigned for Obama’s presidency but immidiately after he took over presidency I opposed in many article his stimulus tricklenomy plan and stated that the giving the money to banks and wall Street will not end up in the hands of the people.
Many Obamaites hot off the campaign attacked me for not giving him enough time and I stressed that what is wrong is wrong, day one or after 4 years and better address the problem before instead of after the taxpayer money is wasted again.
Well! more and more signs are coming out that the money is not going to to people. Read more at:

We had your crap for 8 years, now its time that you back off! Obama is not perfect but is many times better than the bozo we had for two terms.
Don’t be such sore losers, your lost. Respect the majority, as others did when you were in charge.
It’s time that US join the rest of the civilized world and provide a public health option. I personally am for vouchers but that is not on the table and anything is better than what we have now, which is : Nothing.
Things can be revised if needed in future. This debate has been going on for way too many years. There is no perfect solution but we should start somewhere .
