This is a lovely piece because it cuts through all the jargon which our western elites employ to wander through the world and explain and justify what cannot be justified and ought not to be tolerated. It reminds us that history as Joyce wrote for Daedalus is a nightmare from which we try to awake because all we want to do is live or lives and mess up as people inevitably do without the coercive moralism of idiots. All people really do is become a symphony which sometimes produces beautiful music.
Stirring commentary - well said! And sorely needing to be heard.

Hopefully, the Iranian people will finally be able to undo the damage the United States did to them in 1953 when we installed the Shah of Iran.
