Before the Battle (Iranian Citizens Preparing to March to Their Deaths Tomorrow)
Atlantic Magazine ^ | 19 Jun 2009 04:34 pm | Andrew Sullivan & unnamed Iranian blogger

Posted on 06/19/2009 2:01:27 PM PDT by lewisglad

I will participate in the demonstrations tomorrow. Maybe they will turn violent. Maybe I will be one of the people who is going to get killed.

I’m listening to all my favorite music. I even want to dance to a few songs.

I always wanted to have very narrow eyebrows. Yes, maybe I will go to the salon before I go tomorrow!

There are a few great movie scenes that I also have to see. I should drop by the library, too. It’s worth to read poems again.

All family pictures have to be reviewed, too. I have to call my friends as well to say goodbye. All I have are two bookshelves which I told my family who should receive them.

I’m two units away from getting my bachelors degree but who cares about that. My mind is very chaotic.

I wrote these random sentences for the next generation so they know we were not just emotional and under peer pressure.

So they know that we did everything we could to create a better future for them. So they know that our ancestors surrendered to the Arabs and the Mongols but did not surrender to despotism.

This note is dedicated to tomorrow’s children…” - an Iranian blogger, with more courage than most of us will ever know.

fYou are right, Iran was a part of Bush’s strategy: After
Iraq, Iran was next.

“It’s not the islamists who are doing the shouting now.”

“Can’t you just root for them like the rest of us?”

Root for them if you like, that’s what freedom of speech is.

I do not believe any Muslim. They are taught to lie to us infidels. Iran is not my country, it is none of my business how it is run, or who runs it, and it is no one else’s business either.

Iran is not a threat to the U.S. It is only a threat to those who meddle in its affairs.

I do not see any difference in the riots in Iran, which is what burning busses, cars, morocycles and destroying property is, than those in Paris or Malmo—just Muslims doing what Muslims do.

Our B-2 Spirits from Whiteman AFB, MO, equipped with 30klb MOP bunker busters (escorted by F-22 Raptors) would bomb the important hardened underground facilities while the visible ones would be taken out by Israeli F-15Is and F-16Is.

And finally demand an impeachment from the congressmen.

Oh wait, they were bought and paid for.
