blood for oil, oil for blood
Current mood: amused

Anyways I was reading this thing that Khomeini wrote I guess after the iranian hostage crisis in the 1970's. It's just so weird to be on the fence when each side believes the other one is totally reprehensible for something so heinous, that there shouldnt be anyone on the fence. I mean as an American reading an excerpt on the iranian hostage in history class, I would say "Man, they have the nerve to take hostage of us embassy, taking life threatening risks, and put a bad name on not only Iranians, but Muslims world wide" And then read Khomein's excerpt on his perspective and It just made so much sense.I'm not saying that the hostage crisis was a wise decision on khomein's part but does a middle class, superious United States really know what political oppression is? What about religious conflict within the secular state? Or the controversy over democratic, islamic, and republic possibly all in one sentance. It just doesn't rock the US boat.We have freedoms, we have diversity that allows us to bridge the gaps of discrimination and in Iran's case, arabism. I mean really, could you put urself in the shoes of an Iranian boy or girl your age who's feet are covered in an amalgam of dust and blood from running so hard next to a trian full of middle class iranians begging for just a crumb of their bread? who's scarce property lies above a rich river of oil that submerges from the dust into a geyser of financial value to not the Iranians! no way! but the foreign leading industry of the world! America.

I love my country. I love my homeland. But I hateee hatteee hateeee blood for oil.
