Hossein Derakhshan
Nov. 18th, 2008 03:19 pmThey say that Hossein Derakhshan - a famous Persian blogger is arrested in Tehran.
I am not at all happy about it. But honestly - it is not my fight. Cause I slowly become convinced that after a young Iranian liberal grow up - they began to despise Israel same as their conservative opponents.
Yes, at first they try to build some bridges and understanding. Then they realize - they preach an impossible development. Then they become tired of bias of the West toward Iran. And then they decide that they should be together with their own people - and the tale is over.
And guess what - Iranian dreams of greatness can differ in size and shape but none of them includes free Israel.
Eventually they will. But until then we should not delude ourselves with idea that Iranian opposition and Iranian democracy change anything to us.
