Long time no see

Hello there,

I know you all were wondering where I was cos I wasnt very talkative for the last months but I was just so busy with school and work now that this semester is the one before last its getting more complicated and more reading to do every day. This semester Im taking three classes, the Politics of modern Iran, American foreign policy and a seminar in latin America. In today's class the politics of Modern Iran the professor asked me somthing interesting. He said when did you first hear of khomeini. It doesnt matter what I said but its not the answer I gave that concerned me. It was what that brought of memories. I remembered the history books we used to study while we were in Iraq and how they are so enriched with material but at the same time they lack one main thing, the Truth. We were seeing the world from the eyes of the government; the way they wanted us to see it. But now that Im studying politics and all that I can see the world from a broad more truthful way and I can see that this world is not what I used to know. I think I wont go in details about that right now cos the subject is too deep and what I meant is how the West and Islam and the history of Iran and America and Iraq is all reviewed in those history books that shouldnt be called history books but rather books of fables and stories of some wide imagination.

That is all I have for now. I dont know I just wanted to throw this out there for you who are concerned about why and how and what...and all kinda of questions..not that Im answering any but Im just adding more questions to yours.

Good night.
