I was remembering my former partner Saman from Iran and his brother Farzan and their mother and their sister, and the wife of Farzan, Azedeh and their daughter Pegah whom I watched sleep and loved. Their father saw what was happening in Iran with the Shaw and got his children out. This was during the time when women had rights and their mother divorced, worked in a hospital and came to visit often. Knowing these Iranians and their hearts and souls makes a difference about how I feel about any war anywhere. It gets personal.
It’s so sad that if America is completely destroyed by this communist left by people like Merrick Gatland, there will be no place left for people to go and live safe, free and happy.
Safe is somewhat questionable, often we would leave a venue because of the stares and vibes, knowing Sam looked Iranian. I was with him when he became a citizen, he wanted to be able to vote. It certainly could have been worse, like today's vibe.
This is why I pointed this communist out. He imprisons his political opponents. Religious persecution is the same as political persecution because it’s always politicians exactly like Joe Biden and his henchmen that does it.
It's all about power when we should consider the people and ignore those, who desire power for the sake of being powerful. When I was growing up our next door neighbors were two older ladies. One I have mentioned here had a son-in-law, who was a Pharmaceutical Researcher and the other was a retired former school teacher, who had never married. Directly across the street was a lesbian couple, who were long time family friends, but that's a story for another day. When the school teacher retired she was able to travel extensively and as she got older she offered free housing to one foreign student at the college, literally across the street. One particularly nice girl was Persian, in other words Iranian and she was probably the most outstanding of several. I went to school there with Lebanese, Thais, and for that matter black Americans, who to a small town with previously only one black resident made them a little different. In graduate school one of my friends was a black Libyan, son of a Gaddafi supporter. We did all have one thing in common, we each considered all of the others human beings and all got along. I have since been in positions that brought me in contact with a different breed, the political class, who want power for power's sake and in a surprising number of instances ended up in prison or otherwise disgraced for various crimes and infractions. I draw the line between people not as much as racial and ethnic groups as human beings and the power hungry that tend to end up in leadership positions, but are frequently the worst to hold those positions. I guess that is why this growing populist movement began to gain traction I found myself naturally drawn to it.
Was taking grad courses at Univ. of Houston when iranian students took to the streets shouting death to the shah who in many cases was paying for them being there. Ironically many claimed to be communists which led to them being put against the wall by the islamic fanatics when they came home.

Sam always loved the word and meaning and history of Persia. He would read me Persian poetry in Farsi. I swooned, not knowing a single word.
And I grew up watching I dream of Jeanie, wondering why I wanted to be a male genie.
Haha !
Magic powers, meh ! 😳
It was the sexy women which I found out later in life, that made my interest

On the sands of the Middle East, the worlds finest Rugs in Persia are made.
