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.

All against Dean! But why?

If you've recently checked out right wing blogs and websites, you must have seen the continuation of attacks on Howard Dean despite the fact that it seems like he might not have much chance to win the Democrat's candidacy for the November presidential elections.

He was under fire from the beginning of the primary races from both Democrats and right wing entities. One of the most determined attackers on Dean, was Senator Lieberman who himself was a candidate to win Democrats' representation in the upcoming presidential elections. He is now completely out of the race, as he managed to win "zero" delegates from the Democratic party. He is of course, (practically) the most dedicated agent of Israel amongst democratic candidates. He is the most war-loving of the Democratic candidates whose first priority is not the well-being of the US but the interests of Israel. He does not mind creating more enemies for the US, as long as there is a benefit in the outcome for Israel.

It is interesting that Howard Dean, who was/is the only candidate who has not been funded by the big business but with 10-20 dollars from ordinary Americans, makes so much animosity for himself. He was also the one who angered Lieberman the most. After all, Lieberman accused him of "breaking a 50 year old record in which president, Republicans and Democrats, members of congress of both parties have supported their relation with Israel". And what did Dean say that angered Lieberman so much? (In the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis) "It is not our plcae to take side". This is what Dean had said. Lieberman couldn't even accept that evenhanded approach. That is perhaps why Lieberman is so angry at him. It is understandable, isn't it?

Just take a look at the official right wing blogs, pro-Israeli blogs and those who calim to be liberal but in fact belong to right wing camp. You can see the attacks are still continuing. Looks like to them, Dean can be a nightmare. Dean does not support Israel as much as others do. Dean is not fed by the big business so he does not feel he would owe them anything if became president. Dean can make history in changing US politics towards more balanced and more fair policies with less corruption. And Dean is more for the ordinary Americans rather than rich ones. Knowing this, is it surprising at all that all the propaganda machines have mobilized to discredit him? I don't think it is. To these blogs, the record deficit in the US budget is not as important as what Dean says about Jannet jackson's breast show. They also keep ignoring the issue of US administration's lies about Iraq's WMD, but still don't miss an opportunity to sting Dean for any stupid reason. They quote one Iraqi blogger who apparently questioned some of Dean's recent comments and name the titlle of the post as "Iraq to Dean: explain yourself", Suddenly this one blogger becomes whole Iraq and can speak for all Iraqis. And it is interesting that one of our good bloggers is hoping to have some influence that would result in changing these peoples' minds. I'd rather to consider this as part of his sense of humor otherwise, I would just say: Well, good luck.

I have said it before, no good person can become the president of the United States without miracles. It is not because the US does not have good and ethical people for the job, but it is due to the fact that ethical people will be the centre of overwhelming attacks from those who run things behind the scene in the US politics. This reminds me of an interview that I saw recently about George Bush during which an American said: "It is obvious that he (Bush) doesn't have a lot of brain muscles, but that's the whole intention and he just serves the purpose". I think I understand what this means.
