Iran: Post Election

The brutal war between guns and flesh in Iran is affecting the world these days. People go in the streets and march without any fear of their own life or securtiy. This might not be the best time for music but all of this courage reminds me no fear for death, and a song by Blue Oyster Cult, called: Don't fear the Reaper
This is for Neda and all of those who died innocently in the name of freedom.


All our times have come,
Here but now they're gone.
Seasons don't fear the reaper,
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain...
We can be like they are.
Come on, baby... don't fear the reaper.
Baby, take my hand... don't fear the reaper.
We'll be able to fly... don't fear the reaper.
Baby, I'm your man...

Valentine is done,
Here but now they're gone.
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity... Romeo and Juliet.
40,000 men and women everyday... Like Romeo and Juliet.
40,000 men and women everyday... Redefine happiness.
Another 40,000 coming everyday... We can be like they are.
Come on, baby... don't fear the reaper.
Baby, take my hand... don't fear the reaper.
We'll be able to fly... don't fear the reaper.
Baby, I'm your man...

Love of two is one,
Here but now they're gone.
Came the last night of sadness,
And it was clear she couldn't go on.
Then the door was open and the wind appeared,
The candles blew then disappeared,
The curtains flew then he appeared... saying don't be afraid,
Come on, baby... and she had no fear,
And she ran to him... then they started to fly.
They looked backward and said goodbye... she had become like they are.
She had taken his hand... she had become like they are.
Come on, baby... don't fear the reaper.

  1. Obviously -although it’s the last thing Team Obama wants to hear- Ronald Reagan’s support of Poland’s Solidarity in the dark days of the Soviet-ordered crackdown is the model here- not the preposterous straw-man argument of “what are you going to do, invade?” disingenuously presented by the do-nothing, Obamapologist left.

    And isn’t this what George W Bush told you was going to happen in the Middle East in the wake of Iraq’s liberation?

    Maybe that’s why Barack Obama has so little apparent interest in finishing the job in Iran… no matter how much it benefits the US and free world.

    That, and the fact that he’s already piled all his chips on legitimizing this vile regime- a democratic revolution at this point would be downright embarrassing for him.
