The fall of a tyrant. Ayatollah Khomeini was a man who used religion to terrorize people. The regime in Iran continues his legacy. The regime in Iran must fall. #MahsaAmini #mahsaminiمهساامینی https://t.co/ZXIOG8y7zo

Joe Biden is doing everything he can to support the Iranian Regime.
Anyone that supports Biden supports the Iranian Mullahs by their actions.
Their words are meaningless.
This is now the 3rd time in 12 years that there's been major demonstrations (with loss of life) in Iran, all them faded because the Revolutionary Guards are unsentimental, and they haven't even started yet...
"Drink wine and look at the moon and think of all the demonstrations the moon has seen passing by."
“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”
― Omar Khayyám
A statue to Khomeini (or any other Muslim leader) seems to me a contradiction to Islamic strictures about idols . . . but I'm an outsider, so what do I know?
I ran into an ex-colleague, a music faculty prof (a lady from Iran) who says she has taken a lot of heat for not expressing the approved opinions in the approved ways on social media.
Meanwhile back home, protesters are tearing down statues of abolitionists.
CIA agent? Soros funded? Hope not.
The Cheney family industrial war complex is pro Mullah.
Throw in a few "Spo-Dee-O-Dees" and you've got something.
If only Obama had supported the revolution in 2008 but he chose the mullahs. Many Iranians still had friendly feeling toward the US, even after Khomeini. When Mark Bowden, who wrote "Guests of the Ayatollah" visited the former US embassy in Tehran as part of his research, the guards, as he left, said "George Bush" and gave thumbs up.
Biden has destroyed the last vestiges of any relationship with the Iranian people. The mullahs, who he and Obama courted, are 7th century ignoramuses. The Iranian people are very smart and could have made a good ally.
The regime in Iran is ruthless. The bravery of those who confront the regime is undeniable.
Once again, the people we claim to support are rising up and looking for some help from those solicitous westerners who love to tell them "We're on your side!"
Once again, the western leadership cartel is working overdrive to revive failed "deals" naively engineered to prop up the despised Iranian theocratic regime so it can keep its boot firmly on the neck of the people we claim to support.
Yeah, at this point nobody else believes the westerners are "naive" in their dealings with Iran. Wouldn't hurt if someone in the cartel even attempted a non-intelligence-insulting explanation of its accommodationist position though.
All well and good... but, not good news if we hope for a negotiated resolution between Ukraine and Russia.
Regime change is intoxicating all right.
A bit premature perhaps, but: would a non-Islamic republic in Iran give up on its nuclear program and hatred of the zionist entity?
One of the decorations on the otherwise strictly utilitarian east (or was it west?) entrance to the Sea Isle Elementary School building circa 1961 was a bas-relief and the Kayyam quote, "Myself when young did frequent,
Doctor and saint, and heard great argument
. . ."
I can't recall if they included the punchline,
"But oft came out the same door as in I went."
Probably not.
The moon is always female.
But we must send billions in aid to Ukraine and make some sort of deal to give the mullahs their money too.
Foreign aid to corrupt regimes is how our corrupt regime launders our tax dollars back to themselves.
If the Iranians are overthrown the Obama lackeys will lose a source of grift.
Biden and his team (which includes the despicable John Kerry) are still working on a 'deal' with the Mullahs in Iran, looking to send them boatloads of more money in exchange for....for....what?. A promise from a failed authoritarian regime?
'Feckless' doesn't even begin to cover this administration.
There should not be another Democrat elected for any office for two years. It'll take at least that long to clean that party out.
Unfortunately over the next few months I am afraid we will see Obama's analysis of Joe being able to "fuck everything up "come true in international affairs as well as domestic affairs. There is no question in my mind that we are seeing the advance of perhaps the worst administration in American history. It will be hard work, but I think Biden is on track to beat out James Buchanan who has the distinction "As President, Buchanan intervened to assure the Supreme Court's majority ruling in the pro-slavery decision in the Dred Scott case. He acceded to Southern attempts to engineer Kansas’ entry into the Union as a slave state under the Lecompton Constitution" thus welcoming in the Civil War.
"The moon is always female."
The moon is a harsh mistress.
The moon is always female.
No so. There are masculine moon goods as well, though they are a distinct minority.
The moon is always buttocks.
Omar Khayyám Is appealing and poetic. Sensual and hippiephilic. Best used to seduce philosophic young girls. Perhaps with a bottle of Portuguese rose. Oh you bad assistant professors.
Lol. Iran was no problem for Biden until they sold some drones to Russia that have proven highly effective, now the people of Iran need a new government. This is a color revolution, same as Ukraine, Pakistan, etc, etc. They are also trying to run one in Belarus, which is what the “peace prize” was about. It’s our government trying to create another banana republic. We can’t fix every problem in the world and our motives are anything but pure.
Whoa.

Let's do a comparison contrast!
*Ukrainian people are fighting against having russian stuff in there country (or something?)
*Persian people are fighting for their lives (LITERALLY, their lives)
*Ukrainian people are doing the fighting with american money, america material, american weapons, american intelligence, and to so REAL extent; american personel
*Persian people are fighting with the skin of their teeth
*Ukrainian people have STATED, OPENLY; that they do NOT care if their conflict goes nuclear**
*Persian people want to live in peace

Under the shah they got along quite well.

You're saying this is the CIA too?
Luna is a bitch.
Against the cool glass,
Pressed hams of hairy asses.
Keg party highlight.
“The moon is always female.”
Not so in German (and in Greek).
Iranian poet? or Persian poet?
Yes the germans and the french kickatarted their program in the 60s
The moon (female) reflects the light and glory of the sun (male).
Iranian poet? or Persian poet?
Native vs indigenous? Yeah, she is a probable colonial, of the Arian order, no less.
"Ayatollah Khomeini was a man who used religion to terrorize people."
Isn't that always the way with religion?
