Of course we will have to see and it may well be that this young girl's death was trivial and wasted and in the end nothing will change but the chance that something better will follow is there and can't be denied. I heard someone say something I have never heard the other day and it haunts me. He said that only America (and 200 year ago western europe) had ever produced a John Adams. The things that had to happen prior to his birth that were all in place to produce a man like him has never happened in Africa, or India, or China, or Asia. I suspect that this is true and why Bush got burned in Iraq. Many of us hoped (I did) and apparrently Bush did, that liberating Iraq would be like liberating France had been decades earlier. Could it be the reason things didn't work out was because there had never been an Asian John Adams? It may be that right now, in Iran, conditions are right for the first time for a Sam Adams to arise. To help give birth to an idea that may not have ever been planted in that soil. It may be that for the first time "The Tree of Liberty" has found a place there where a small cutting can take root. We will have to see. I did see one thing in a video that raised my eyebrows. One of the young men running down the stereet was wearing a T-shirt with a Cross on the back. I suppose there are Christians there and it made my heart a little glad to see him. It also gave me some improved opinion of his peers. He certainly didn't seem to fear them in this bold display of faith. We will have to see what unfolds but it won't stop me praying for them and perhaps seeing history made as an "Asian Sam Adams" is "born". Who knows, in two years Iran may be the place so many of us have been talking about when we said, "If there was anyplace where my rights would be respected as America declines I would go there!" Who knows, it may be. We will have to see. It strikes me an "Asian Sam Adams" would encourage it and in so doing strengthen his own country's future. Sort of a Persian Galt's Gulch. We will have to see.
