We are the bad guys now to the world. Its just a matter of time.

A few years ago I met a really interesting man from Iran. He'd immigrated to the US and was successful in business. Mid-30s. He called himself "Persian" when I first asked about his accent. That's what they say to try not to be immediately discriminated against by stupid Americans.

Anyways, when I showed I knew this meant Iranian & didn't care & was interested in what his home country is like, he told me many stories about growing up in Iran. It's not that different from here. Its a modern society with pop culture & entrepreneurs & citizens who have dreams & want a better world...I realized then that the people of a nation should NEVER be judged by their idiotic gov't leaders.

I hope others in the world are somehow able to not judge all Americans by the Neocons in charge here.
