When They Open Fire

Image via Wikipedia2011 is 1989, and this year belongs to the Arab world and to Africa. People are rising. People will rise. They will take over the streets. This is a momentum game. If you let the momentum die you have to wait years, perhaps you have to wait for another generation. That would be too wasteful. The time is now. The time is today. The time is this year.

The streets are on fire. Stoke the fire.

Peaceful demonstrators have a right to demonstrate. Regimes that open fire on such demonstrators have to be countered by peoples and governments all over the world. The US government has to step in with everything at its disposal, upto and including use of surgical military strikes.

A regime does not have to accept the demands of peacefully demonstrating people, but no regime has a right to unleash brutality upon peacefully demonstrating peoples. There are reports demonstrators are being shot at, from the ground, from helicopters in the sky.

That can not be tolerated. America has to step in. It has to warn such governments. It has to use all levers of government power to make sure such brutality is not tolerated.

America was born with a mission. That mission was a total spread of democracy. 2011 is a special year. It is like 1989 all over again. And America has a role to play. People have a right to peacefully demonstrate. That right has to be protected.

A monarcy, any monarchy, is a feudal institution. Every single monarchy in the region has to go. Unelected leaders don't belong in the seats of power. If you were not elected, simply leave.

Barack Is Going To Need Me All Over Again

Image by Getty Images via @daylifeBarack is going to need me all over again during his re-election bid, and I am going to be there for him. Barack needed me in his run for the presidency. And he is going to need me all over again. I will be there for him in his hour of need.

I maintain the hunger of someone who was forced to skip the victory parties of June 2008 and November 2008, and felt Inauguration 2009 simply pass him by. I missed the celebrations. I stayed hungry.

I am going to bring that hunger to the table for Barack all over again.

I stopped being a Democrat. I became an Independent. I am an Independent for Barack. And I am going to be there for him.

Iran: Brute Force Does Have An Answer

Image via WikipediaIt is only a matter of weeks now before the mullahs vacate the scene in Iran. These dumbfucks need to go. They never needed to be there in the first place. The democracy activists in Iran have suffered like nowhere else in the Arab world. They deserve to succeed more than the activists in Tunisia and Egypt.

Here's the message: there is an answer to brute force. A nonviolent movement for democracy can succeed in the face of brute force. But you have to exhibit superb organization.

An interim president has to be announced. Mossavi works. And a plan has to be hatched to get a million people out into the streets at once, in every city in the country. In Egypt taking over one square worked. In Iran that will not work. You will have to do what we did in Nepal in 2006. You are going to have to take over every single street in every single city. You have to come out in force all at once. You have to be prepared to see a few hundred of you shot down in the streets. But you can not vacate the scene. You have to get even more energized when that happens. You have to give them a week max. And then you have to march on to the presidential palace to mete out a Caecescu end to Khomeini and Ahmedijed - how do you spell that motherfucker's name?

Within a week of taking power the interim president is going to have to issue orders to execute all those who issued orders for the killing of peaceful protesters out in the streets. That still fits the definition of non violence. The antidote to Hitler was not a Gandhi fast.

When the generals in Burma killed hundreds and burned those bodies Hitler style, America needed to bomb that town where all the generals live. That would still have fit the definition of non violence.

Iran is like Burma. Khameini is Hitler. He has no place in the 21st century. Cast him off into the Gulf.

Now is the time to strike. Now is the time to get it done. No country in the region deserves it more than Iran. Iran goes then Saudi Arabia goes, then Libya goes, then goes Jordan, Syria.

Drive every single autocrat out. Absolutely every single one of them.

The tactics in Iran are going to have to be different than the tactics in Tunisia and Egypt. Khameini deserves a Caecescu death.
