A little food for thought. When I think of Nobel Peace Prize and Iran, I think that just maybe someone is trying to once again instill their Western values in a country that has been around for centuries, whose [Iran's] culture and natural resources maybe can't support Western values.
Not that Shirin Ebadi didn't deserve the prize for her human rights activism, but is it not strange that during this time when America is trying to control the region and having a difficult time getting their influences into Iran, someone who is pushing human rights for women and children in a country where the culture for hundreds of years promotes that men are dominating and women and children are subordinate, is awarded a prize of $1.3 million, which the winner said will go towards her work? She claims to not have even known that she was a candidate for the prize.
One thing I did like was that she said that human rights must be dealt with internally and a population must not wait for organizations from the outside to fix such problems. It sounded good, but since this statement was being played over and over again by CNN, you have to wonder why they are doing this. I know that the people in Iran do watch CNN and many dream of a more democratic country, but with the West standing on the sidelines just waiting to move in with their financial institutions to pillage the country, I'm less in favor of such a "democracy" in Iran right now.
You really have to wonder if this is part the West's desire to get into Iran and destabilize the ruling government using persons on the inside? It appears to me like techniques used in the US military's manual on Low Intensity Conflict (LIC).
Oh, another something I saw on CNN was an American General talking about how they are producing a million barrels of oil a day to pay for the rebuilding of Iraq. This is the Iraq that the West bombed the hell out of to bring the whole country to it's knees so the West could move in and try to control it. I wonder who is making out like a bandit on this oil deal. I would guess Bush and his friends.
And at the same time, think Cuba, Castro, and Bush saying that they are going to start transmitting anti-Castro propaganda into Cuba if he does not agree to the lifting of an US embargo in exchange for allowing a more democratic policy for Cuba. I like Castro only for the fact that he has been standing up against the West for over 40 years and after all the West has dished out, the old man is still in power. Viva Castro!!!
Is all this part of the new US-policy that believes that it's no longer enough to "defend", but now they must start "attacking" (as if they have not been doing this all along) and wiping out the treats that they have been "defending" themselves against? It seems to me that the "wounded lion" (America) has to lash out now and eradicate any threats while it still has the strength to do so before it becomes too weak and the mice that it has been terrorizing all these years, collectively come and pick it's bones clean. Let's all hope that whatever is best for the great population of the world prevails and the real axis-of-evil is defeated and real human rights and democracy will one day become a reality on Earth for all humans. Okay I'm dreaming, but this is what we should all aim for.
