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.

Thanks to stimulus:

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:

In 1929, the market crashed. Within 6 months it rose by 50%. Not long thereafter it tanked 89% from the pre-crash. (Great depression)

In 2009, the market crashed. Within 6 months it rose by 50%.  Not long thereafter it …. ??

There is a small mountain to the left of the BIG one:

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 .

Obama Supports Extending Patriot Act Provisions

Just another reminder of our mortality. Live and cherish the glancing moments. Love, care & make a difference. I was 22:

• Iranian government and leadership is more desperate than ever to find a way to cling to power as more and more Iranians are turning against them.
• The last war with Iraq helped prolong the rule of Islamic Regime and provided the atmosphere to get rid of the opposition and it also helped mobilize and unite people against the foreign enemy versus the regime itself.
• The current leaders can associate any war and associated destruction to coming of Mahdi the 12th Shia Imam.
• The regime of coup is run by many in uniform who consider war as possible options.

War may be the last way out of the spiral collapse of the regime. Antagonizing Israel, US and the West against regime’s nuclear policy is an effective card that the regime may use to create such atmosphere. There are also those in Israel, US etc. who see their benefit in such atmosphere who may wish to ignite such friction.

Possibility of an upcoming war exists strongly. Those in power in Iran may very well choose to take the whole country down the path of destruction before they let go of power.
