Sounds like Independence Day like ours, with "fireworks" and all, speeches, etc.
Let us remember and assert our own, not neglecting it to abdicate responsibility to instead merely pursue self-gratification.
Decadence is the enemy of true freedom.
Yes. Agree. We must appreciate our own.
But imagine tradition that dates back into antiquity that revers the blessing of freedom. Assayian culture has had their own brutal times and rulers. The traditions of the overthrow of them is deeply embedded.
Where else do you hear that in the Middle East, except Israel?
And killing a cruel brutal evil King with a hammer by survivors of his treachery? Imagine the burst of love of freedom.
I may be over the top, I’ve read about their history and you never know how true myths of the past are. But I actually have come to know some of the Syrian Kurd people. They are brave freedom lovers. What better ally could we have.
No, I’m not talking about their politics and don’t want to go into that battle. My opinions are personal, but founded over quite a span of time.
Some here say the Kurds are the Medes, other say the followers of Zoroastrianism. Kurds say the Ezidi’s are ancestors to all Kurds. I know Ezidi’s that agree.
No they are not Christian. Yes some Kurds are Muslim (certainly not all especially in N. Syria)
So here we are. For all of my adult life I’ve followed the struggle of people who fought for freedom. My wife called it my obsession. I plead guilty, but it is what I like to do.
