| Not as evil as it seems... |
Being one of about three Americans who enjoys watching the Men's World Cup (and the other two share a house with me), I was watching Iran play Morocco today, and as the cameras panned the crowd, I couldn't help but notice that, not unlike many sports fans, the Iranian fans wore silly hats, painted their faces, wore clothing that amply mimicked their flag's colors, and sang their national anthem with pride.
It's easy to forget amongst all of republicans' bluster about how evil Iran is, that it's a country filled with folks trying to raise a family, trying to earn a living, and rooting unabashedly for their favorite teams--not so much unlike us here in the States.
And it shouldn't be forgotten amidst all of Donald Trump and John Bolton's warmongering over Iran, that it's precisely these folks, people with children and pets and mortgages and ten year old cars, who will be hurt the most should the war cult prevail.
Fuck Donald Trump,
