HUMAN first, then a proud IRANIAN

This blog represents the way I see some of the most significant events impacting the world and its citizens. This blog also represents how I react to the events as a member of humanity with a voice, a determined voice that insists to be heard. The voice of an Iranian who loves his country but his priority is humanity; humanity without border. I will say what I want to say, when I want to say it, and how I want to say it, but I will never lie. I will also listen; I promise.

Beware, they may have a plan. It's just not the time yet

The current US administration has a long and dirty history of lies and deception (never mind the world, but their own people). I have said it numerous times that these guys will do anything, just anything, in order to get re-elected. What is disappointing is that usually Americans fall into it. Here is just an example:

Let's say there is a poll asking the Americans (before capturing of Saddam Hussein): "Are you satisfied with the progress in Iraq conflict?"

let's say, only 43% of people say "yes".

Then you ask the same question after Saddam Hussein is captured. And see that the "yes" respondents jump to 60%. Well, it makes sense, doesn't it? After all, capturing Saddam can be considered a considerable progress in the war.

How about this scenario?

Before capturing of Saddam, the poll question is: "Do you believe that Saddam was linked to September 11 attacks?

Let's say again 43% say "yes".

Then you ask the same question (a couple of days) after Saddam was captured: 60% say "yes".

How could you justify this mentality? How Capturing Saddam two days ago, can change anything about his link to September 11 attack? Isn't it just ridiculous?

Now, this mentality is not unknown to the current US administration. And these guys who are masters of deceptions, perfectly know how to take advantage of this mentality. The general public mentality in the US is like a graph that can reach a sudden peak as a result of some particular news and then, slowly going downward as the people feel the realities of their lives. It is just a matter of proper calculation as to when to provide the boosting news that can still keep the graph at the level needed for re-election at the time of presidential elections.

Will you be surprised to see suddenly, Osama Bin Laden is captured just before the US presidential elections? Will you be surprised to see that Iraq's WMD are suddenly "found" in Iraq? Will you be surprised to see a sudden progress in Iran and US relations just before the elections?

Don't forget, Republicans owe their many elections or re-elections to their like-minded hardliners in Iran. The US hostages in Iran were released only 4 hours after President Reagan was sworn in.
