Now the situation in Iran today. 60 American hostages held by Iranian students at the US Embassy. A very dangerous situation. The country is so close to war. So volatile. Iran oil, energy, American lives and American backlash. But yet. The Shah is here in America, the Hitler of Iran. The Butcher of his people. He should stand trial. If it would be a trial. Not just stand him up in front of a wall like so many other Iranians under the Shah. The world needs to know what happened. What he did and how he fell from power. The corruption of his rule should be made public and American involvement should be part of that trial and not just screamed from mobs in the street.
America should never have let him into the country. Thank Henry Kissinger for that. But it happened and America is being pushed around again. Thus the American backlash against Iranian students here. Well, send them all back to Iran. Make the break clean if we're going to break. The Iranian's don't want us, we fucked them over, we used them to protect our own interest and the Shah abused them.
What will happen to the hostages? Send the Shah back for trial and certain death? Send in the Marines? Give them the Shah. He's theirs. America loses either way. The result of meddling in the affairs of other countries. The gluttonous need for oil, to protect the source of fuel for the rich. Our obscene thirst for oil will get us in more trouble yet. The Eighties are just getting read to begin and it will be a world of energy shortages. Cheap and plentiful oil is gone forever. Oil is linked with war and decline for America. The Iranian situation points this out even more than the earlier Arab-Israeli conflict.
