I don’t know what it all means. I’m not even sure they know. But I know that it feels like a very good thing for the future of the world. A year ago, our government was trying to find any excuse possible to bomb Iran. But they’d already used up all of their currency invading Iraq, and just couldn’t find a viable excuse to start yet another war. The only way to deal with Iran was by a show of force – [former] Vice President Cheney and [former][faux] U.N. Ambassador John Bolton told us. Now we’re watching the Iranians march in the streets. We don’t know enough about them to even know why they’re marching, and yet I find myself tearing up a bit when I see the pictures.
It reminds me of a time, a long time ago [late 80’s]. It was before we know about the "Internet." I was on Compuserve, a dial-up bulletin board that was text only on my slower than turtles modem showing on my green-screen DOS Computer. At the time, I was writing a program in DBASE and I used a compiler called "Clipper." I signed onto Clipper’s bulletin Board to get some help, and there were a bunch of messages from a Clipper guy in Moscow. As I sat there, he was in a store front typing fast and furious.ly There were Tanks in the street. Communism was falling, and I stayed up all night reading his posts about the Tanks, and the opposition leaders standing in front of them. It was amazing! History live…
