Sean Penn's letter to Bush and an observation
First of all, dear Mr. Penn: respect, admiration and thanks to speak
the truth.
Second, this is a part of his speech about us Iranians:
"
You want to rattle sabers toward Iran now? Let me tell you something about Iran, because I've been there and you haven't. Iran is a great country. A great country. Does it have its haters? You bet. Just like the United States has its haters. Does it have a corrupt regime? You bet. Just like the United States has a corrupt regime. Does it want a nuclear weapon? Maybe. Do we have one? You bet. But the people of Iran are great people. And if we give that corrupt leadership, (by attacking Iran militarily) the opportunity to unify that great country in hatred against us, we'll have been giving up one of our most promising future allies in decades. If you really know anything about Iran, you know exactly what I'm referring to ....... Of course your administration belittles diplomatic potential there, as those options rely on a credibility and geopolitical influence that you have aggressively squandered worldwide."
Unfortunately the following part of his speech is vanished (!!!) from its written versions (
1,
2) :
" .......
I’m talking about the majority youth who are the most pro-separation of church and state, forward thinking inspired young people I have met anywhere on the planet........"
The funniest thing is that I couldn't find a copy of this speech in well-known and recognized magazines!!!
Finally, I would like to be humble and say, at least some of us Iranians are not very sure that we are
the most forward thinking inspired young people on the planet (
1) ! If he sais so, we need to prove it. For the moment, we are speechless. Hopefully one day, when we have freedom as in the USA (!!!), we will do this.
Adamdad.
