Iran

I have conflicted feelings about Iran, while stationed in Bahrain we lived next door to an Iranian family. Some of the kindest warmest thoughtful people I have ever known. But I also lived near some Iranians who hated me because I was American.

I disagree with Mad, Isreal doesn't like Iranians and vice versa.

43,000 murdered is horrific and needs American intervention. Thousand of African children dying of disease and malnutrition is a good reason to discard USAID.

The world makes little sense to me. Guess that's why I like fishing.

I have lived and have family in Israel. Also have many good Iranian friends. I am hopeful the two countries will become allies if the current regime falls.

Hopefully they put a pike up the Ayatollah's ass like Vlad the Impaler and park his rotting corpse in the town square for all to see.

I lived down at the Dead Sea in an area called Ein Gedi. Urim in the Negav and Qiryat Shemona.

Family all over the country, but mostly Beer Sheva and Rehovot.

Ein Geri? Didn’t have a piece of your tunic cut off when relieving yourself in a cave, did you? 🤣

I spent a couple nights across the Sea in Jordan. It was pretty windy, so they wouldn’t let us float. Apparently Israel doesn’t take kindly to folks floating across the Sea, pushed by the breeze.

Really enjoyed my time in both Israel and Jordan, even if I was side-eyed as either a Gentile or an Infidel everywhere I went. Did almost get flooded out in Petra, they actually opened the Treasury for people to shelter from the water so it wouldn’t carry us down the ravine. First time that had happened in a couple decades, I think they said.

So much history everywhere one goes.

How long were you there? Growing up, or as an adult?

Visited when I was 10 or 11 for a summer. Went again after graduation, was planning on going for a couple of months ended up living there for a few years. Been back several times since.

Sale AR’s to the Iranian people and let them fight for freedom and to decide on decisions on governing. Isn’t this Trump policy?
