America and Iran
"America and Iran" is the title of a book by John Ghazvinian. According to Wikipedia, the author was born in Iran in 1974, and when he was one year old, his family moved to England. Therefore, he was not in Iran during the revolution of 1978-79, beside of the fact that he was too little to experience it then, regardless. As a journalist, however, he might have been interested in learning and writing about one of the 20th century revolutions that changed the shape of the Middle East forever; especially that the revolution occurred in the land he was born in.

December
27, 2023
To:
President Joe Biden
You’ve
often spoken of how much you care about children and how terrible it is when
they’re murdered. “Too many schools, too many everyday places have become

Part I—We Are Encased in Context
One
of the first things they tell you in tenth grade biology class is that we are
all submerged in an ocean of air. That is an ocean made up of 78% nitrogen, 21%
oxygen and 1% other gases plus water vapor. Just like a fish out of water, we
can’t survive outside of this environment. However, what they don’t tell you in
tenth grade, though they really should, is there are other environments just as
pervasive that surround us and, for better or worse, help shape us by their
content.

December
22, 2023
Many
readers of Antiwar.com have wondered why they have seen no new articles from me

Intensive Care Unit trying to prove him wrong.
Fortunately, I survived the crisis and am now on the road to (a slow)
recovery.
