Wars of the Worlds

        Whatever they name it; Liberation or Occupation or Invasion. Since the US and it's allied forces entered Iraq the situation did not get any better for the people in this strange country. Strange because it's the second oil rich country and it's so poor, strange because it hosts the shrines of the most prominent Shiite leaders such as Ali and Hossein and despite a growing number of Shiite majority, it's always been ruled by minorities. Such facts make us think that it's a cursed land.

        When did this latest war start? Did it start when the Iranian President called Holocaust a myth or when an Iranian newspaper started a Holocaust cartoon contest. Or did publishing Prophet Mohammad's caricatures all over Europe fuse rage among Muslims. Many rallied the streets without seeing anything. We've just heard or read what the public media says. But after all it seems like the actual fire started sometime and somewhere else, right after the world war II when the Jewish state was declared in the heart of Jerusalem which is the Muslim's second Kibla¹. 8 years later Israel occupied the Sina Peninsula in Egypt. 11 years later territories from Jordan, Syria and Egypt were taken by Israel. 15 years later Israel wages war on Lebanon. But only 5 years after that the Intifada begins. The Palestinians waited for 34 years for a miracle to happen or maybe they hoped for mercy by the enemy. Before Israel was forming other very important events had taken place in the Middle East and that was the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire and installation of British backed people throughout the Arab world.

        There are many ways to rewrite the history. But there are unlimited possibilities for interpreting the events. Iran was in good relations with the Jewish state during the time of Shah while Arab nations had long closed their eyes to what was happening in to Palestinians. Shah was one of those puppets reinforced by the CIA. But after the Islamic revolution of Iran, the Israel embassy was shut down and Iran became actively present in the support of Palestinians against Israel. With this support the Hezbollah of Lebanon was formed and liberated most of their occupied land in Beirut. It was only then when Palestinians could regain their sense of self-esteem. Another winning card for the enemy was Saddam with all his tanks and missiles and planes gifted from variety of nations including USA, France, Britain, Germany, Russia. Iraq invaded Iran to let public opinion's attention away from Israel. Again pre-installed Arab puppets who called themselves kings and sheikh and emirs were happy to see the revolution being suppressed in Iran. This way their paper kingdoms would last some more years and they could hold on to their Harems of lust! Those pro-democracy monkeys in the west were silent during the time Iranians and Kurdish people were sprayed by Saddam's chemical weapons.

        So, what's happening right now is not in fact a simple thing. Who would benefit from bombing a shrine or attacking a mosque or church or synagogue? Who would benefit from a new front of clash among Shiites and Sunnis or Jews and Christians? In the short term the arm dealers of course. But in the long run, it's almost time this debate come to an end because everything is happening in the name of God. The fear in the world where kingdoms of dictatorships, usury and all kinds of sins are dominant is taking place despite all these Satanic efforts. It's the eventual outcome; that humans would wake up to the facts already in front of their eyes. But those people who commit sins and are encouraged by their societies and leaders to do so are like sheep whose eyes are blind and whose ears are deaf. Fortunately, day is coming when even dead bodies will wake up to the sound of Sur².

        The latest events in Samara might have different interpretations but a relevant story might be as goes in Quran when Moses leaves his people for some time to meet with God. He asks his brother to supervise the Beni³ Israel. To his surprise when he returns he notices that people have left God and started worshipping a cow made of gold. This cow was made by a magician from Samara. That was the story of the Golden Cow of Samaria. Mecca's monument also known as Beytolharam was built by Abraham, the ancestor of all prophets such as Moses, Jesus and Mohammad. At one time the place he built with bare hands started to be used to host such statues as gods of different tribes before Prophet Mohammad was ordered to destroy all of them.

        History shows that these English speaking mammals have not left any country without a war. Therefore it's for the Iraqis to decide to bend over low and take it or stand up and fight. Freedom, although a right has a high price around here. The withdrawal of Israel from Gaza and the victory of Hamas are signs that resistance against oppression and persistence on high beliefs eventually pay off and the day when all sacred lands are liberated is soon.

But it's not the end of the world. Yet! How do we know?  Because human beings are discovering new things every day and the more we learn about the world,  the more we become dumbfound and wonder what this fuss is all about. The more we wonder the more we understand the greatness of this universe. Therefore it's our own personal choices to explore the new horizons of love and logic or to choose hatred and blood. To live by the guns or roses.  Those people who stay silent as their leaders wage war on other nations are doomed to have a future of disgrace. One who lives by the sword will die by the sword like an idiot. The lesson in Iraq today is not the first and only one. Many are the Japanese and Germans who are still paying the price of following an idiot. We could also turn around and watch the skies made for us above us. There are so many places that we can see but we can not go yet. The best place to start? Let's look inside our hearts. Man is gifted with God's own soul. That's why whatever we imagine today will be the reality in the future.

May, 23: Iran in FIFA World Cup 2006 Timetable         Remember 1978? Iranians were holding their breath while watching games against Scotland, Netherlands, and Peru. Then in 1998 almost every person in the world watched Iran win the team from USA in France. This was probably one of the most spectacular and politically motivated matches in the football history.
