Iranian Protests: Neda

I decided not to post the video to my blog, but here is a link to it if you wish to see it. It is rather disturbing, but I have a strong stomach for such things having studied genocide for all of these years. Here is the link.

The question immediately comes to me, why? It is an act of terror created by the Iranian government with the hopes of getting their people to shut up about their illegal election. This is what governments do.

Hugo Chavez coming out in support of Ahmadinejad has knocked him down quite a few notches on my ruler ruler. The type of slaughter that happened to Neda and at least 18 others is sick. It is nothing new, however. It is not a stranger. It is not a rareity. The U.S. is doing it in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan at the moment, except in a greater more horrific scale. Killed thousands, displaced millions, created horrific health crises... Why?

I wish I knew of a solution. I wish I could sing beauty into the soul of the father of Neda who held her as he watched her die from a sniper bullet. This is no unusual story. This is not something new. All one has to do is look honestly at the world and you may even find it right outside your own door.

A bullet is quick, hard, and I want to sing beauty into that father's soul. I want to hand him his daughter back. I want justice. I want freedom for all, even here. FUCK ELECTIONS! Changing the guard on the same system doesn't mean shit. Look at Obama.

But I want to sing beauty into that fathers life, soul, give him mine if I could. I have more than my fair share. Why? Why did the Iranian government murder his daughter? What if that were my daughter? But the Iranian government isn't the only killer, most if not all governments are killers. Most governments commit human sacrifice for their privileged. The U.S. is not stranger to this type of behavior. Take what they did in Pakistan yesterday. 60 killed by a U.S. drone. Why?

I want to sing beauty into that poor fathers soul. I want to sing the crimson flow back into his daughter's body, bring her back to life to sing songs and walk with her father. I want justice.

Still, this is nothing unusual. It doesn't only happen in Iran. The U.S. is no innocent god, the U.S. just has more nuclear weapons than anyone else. That's why you don't hear about it so much here. People are too afraid to talk about it or want to believe their lies because the reality of it all sucks!

I want to sing beauty into that poor fathers soul. I want to sing beauty to the world.
