Politics

I usually try to avoid writing about politics and talk more about myself but there are two things just on my mind that I cannot avoid talking about them today.
A Shariff University (The best Technical university of Iran that just very smart students can get in) student has written about her 24 hours stay in US along with some of her classmates. Who had came to take part in a reunion with other classmates that live in US at San Francisco University and they all had valid visa.
I had heard in news that they deported some Iranians with visa back to Iran and Europe in last couple of weeks but I did not know the details. In this student?s letter which has been published in some newspapers, I read more terrible details that made me strongly upset. The immigration officers took them to the immigration section at the San Francisco airport and explained to them that they had order to revoke their visas and they could not enter US. Although they had valid visa but according to international law even if you have valid visa an immigration officer every where in the world can stop you from entering to his country based on some facts like security issues or other things and they can deport you but the very sad part of the Shariff?s students deportation is that since there was no flight back to Iran right a way and officers said they could not keep them in the airport at night, they checked them in to jail!! This part was awful; they treated them like criminals and kept them in jail for one night until the next day that they could fly back to Iran!
I felt so bad that they treated some intelligent, innocent people like that! It seems security has pushed all the humanitarian borders these days! They could just keep them in the airport over night but sending them to jail was way too much to me! Any way I am so sorry for what has happened to these groups of students and I hope it will never happen to any body from any country again.
Of course they can decide who enters to the country and who not but they should treat them respectfully not as a criminal! By the way I heard that the Iranian lawyers association and some Iranian professors are following up on this and they even sent letter to the secretary of state!

The other thing was the interview that CBS journalist had with President Ahmadinejad,
I watched the whole interview and I could not believe how Mr. President answered most of questions with another question from the reporter, it was like he was playing a game with him! And the funniest part was the part that he started counting US problems, like how many illiterate US has, how many percentage of unemployment, etc.
He talked like he is the president of Switzerland with a great peaceful country and no problem at all! How a president from a country full of economical problems, oppositions, unemployment, high rate of prostitution, drug addiction etc can sit and judge other countries like that!!!

For sure we need god's help with these interesting leaders that are ruling the world these days!!

The Netherlands is a land like Switzerland. But of course we got problems too.
Prices are won by Iranian ;)

That mr President stresses the weaknesses of the USA is just his own weakness of having the right arguments.
It's sad that leaders don't look at the facts that unite but at the facts that divide.
If you wanna jump over a ditch, you simply don't make it wider.

Ocean, thanks for your comment about my father...

take care of yourself
