Thank you for this. I was raging really fucking hard at the Iran stuff and everybody's sudden concern for Iran and the beautiful Iranian women and that they were somehow suddenly worthy of western recognition because they had held the belief that, because some women wore their hijabs further back, a majority of people in Iran were "liberal" and "western" and wanted "democracy" in the same way that we do over here.

And now, this? You are so fucking correct with the disaster porn and how it is all about death. But you know, this isn't happening fast and quick and Hollywood enough for people to latch on to. This is a slow killer, and you see, people over in my country just don't have the patience to care about that stuff!! :( !!!

Thanks for the links. Seriously. And really, I want to email you or something sometime, because I pretty much love everything you post.
