Thank you for your comment.
I'm sorry, I cannot use the word 'good' in contemplating the horror that is occurring right now. I'm an old lady, but I feel I should be out there, in the streets.
The death and destruction in themselves are horrifying, but to see people reveling in it, to see people gleeful over suffering...I can't use the word 'good' anywhere around that.

I was speaking about the hope for a free and democratic Iran, though I have very strong doubts that the current administration is going to achieve that.
And yes, I am about to pay my taxes this year which is going to be more than average American earns in almost ten years and it makes me sick how much of those taxes are going to be spent on our military killing people...
I don't mean to be difficult. I understand you are hoping some good comes from the dreadful, but I can't do that. I can't mute the horror I feel. I will not see a silver lining in evil. That's what this is. Grandiose and ego-driven.
I very much appreciate your feedback. I appreciate your sympathy for the people who are suffering, but for me, in this moment there is no 'good'. I think in the days to come the horror will spread. I am certain it will come home, here, although my leaders feel immune. They will dismiss the terrorist acts that are sure to follow. They will dismiss that mass shooting in Austin. But as sure as I am writing this blog, it is all connected. It is all evil.
I'm so sorry to sound extreme, but I see no good in any of it.
What right does US/Israel have to bring that about, particularly as their interest in doing so is clearly about self interest? Netanhayahu is a psychopath and Trump's enabling him and everyone else will suffer. I doubht very much either of us are doing it for a democratic Iran. I feel sorry for US citizens who are forced to fund this even though it seems like nearly everyone I know on Hive is horrified at what is unfolding.
