These must truly be the last days! Never have I witnessed such chaos as we have in the world today. Not only here in the USA where we are living what they call "this time of economic crisis", "economic slowdown", "financial difficulty"...whatever you want to call our problem here, it pales in comparison to what is going on in Iran.
I must say that in times past, I would probably have said that whatever they get, they deserve, remembering the days in the 70's when, the Ayatollah Khomeini and his thugs who kidnapped Americans in a stance against the US and her policies. And considering that a major portion of the population in Iran is Muslim, and we are mortal enemies of Islam itself, it's hard to have an opinion towards their plight there, which is in constant turmoil with their government.
But in recent days the outcry of the people of Iran has spread around the world as the people there decry that the election to oust dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was a farce and has been totally rejected by the people there in Iran. The election results, which supposedly counted over 40 million votes in just 4 hours, have been in question for 5 days now in the streets by thousands of unhappy citizens. After the death of 26 year old protestor by the name of Neda Salehi Agha Soltan, the Iranian people have been outraged by the killing and beating of her citizens there.
I must admit that I have been glued to Twitter for several days now reading updates as they come across the website by the thousands of citizens using the networking site as a live feed, since all news media have been ejected from Iran.
Fannie, Freddie, GMC nor Wachovia cannot utter a sound as despairing as a people who are crying out for Freedom and fairness, as we have here in the US. Let's not forget to pray for them and remember those freedoms that we so willingly take for granted. We are so Blessed!
