When nations tremble: Reflections on power, conflict, and responsibility

Regime change is needed. That is the key reason it seems that Trump was using in his absurd attack on Iran, along with Israel.

Some are asking if we are being led by a small sector of the Israeli government.

And it is assumed that most citizens of this country would welcome Regime Change, removing Trump from office.

This one man is damaging the democracy and any international cooperation that has existed for decades.

Campaigning trump said that he would end all wars and not take the USA into new wars. Well, now he has declared war on Iran.

In the last attack on Iran, Trump said that we had obliterated their Nuclear facilities, and yet now they are claiming Iran is DAYS away from having an atomic bomb.

We had an international nuclear agreement with Iran, and Trump tore this up during his first term.

Perhaps the MAGA anti-war contingent will stand up to Trump, and hopefully, our Congress, Senate, and Supreme Court will take some immediate action. Trump has broken so many laws and has no authorization from Congress to start this war

Maybe there is still an element within Israel that will condemn this act of war.

In recent months, it has been reported that the Iranian government has killed thousands of its citizens who demonstrated for change. And we should all condemn this

At the same time, should not our government bomb Israel for all the Palestinians killed and many starved to death?

Or perhaps we should bomb our own Homeland Security offices for their killing and terrorizing of immigrants and other people of color

Anywhere people are oppressed, we should stand for their right to live and choose the government of their choice

Iran is a large country with 93 million citizens.

In 1992, as Amnesty International’s Western Regional Director, I worked with Alireza Azizi, a most respected Amnesty expert, to negotiate an international program with the many elements of the Iranian community in Los Angeles.  We fought to do this program with the Amnesty establishment and wrestled with the many opposition groups, including the son of the Shah of Iran, whom we referred to as Baby Shah. There are many opposition groups inside Iran.

We filled the Pasadena convention center with 2,500 mostly Iranians, with many opposition groups present, and broadcast via satellite a program to countries where Iranians had settled, and  also figured out a way to get our program past the obstacles placed by the Iranian  government so that it was seen inside of Iran

Amnesty did not spend one penny ..it was all funded by the Iranian community. All the materials we distributed were in Farsi, including one of my poems, MARY WHISTLE S WHEN SHE TALKS NOW …

It was a Human Rights program that celebrated the country’s great cultural themesof the country. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was Iran’s Supreme Leader in 1992.

There were Iranian speakers and a woman who raised the issue of women’s rights. Jack  Healey, Executive Director of Amnesty International USA, and I were the only speakers who were not Iranian. Mine was the shortest of all the speeches and received the only standing ovation from those in the hall

We took a lot of risks in putting this program together, and as of today, I have not heard of any other such program being produced.

Now these recent bombings have killed young students and the Ayatollah. This murder of the supreme leader will call for a lot of death and destruction in retaliation.

We have opened a door that will not be easily closed

Iran has many proxies who act in their behalf, and some may even be in your community

The toll will be heavy on both sides, and it will, in the end, slide the USA economy further into the trash bin of absurdity

Some have said that  this is just another tactic to get us away from the Trump-Epstein files

It is also said that FIFA is planning to cancel all World Cup events in the USA, especially now that the USA is walking a tight rope that endangers the safety of both players and guests because of ICE, and now the war with Iran

Our government must immediately handcuff the ability of the president to do more damage and we need to bring him and the secretary of defense to an immediate congressional hearing and the supreme court needs to take action to stop this madness..

Any group that celebrates this death and destruction action should ask how they would feel if the opposite happened and there was the killing of our leader and students. How would that make ya all feel?

Bombs have a long tail of destruction, much like a hurricane.
