Iran and Tehran situation.

There is a lot of information on the web today. Videos, pics of people protesting, being fired on by Iranian police and Basij (The armed moral police of Iran) and people dying and their deaths recorded on cameras. Its been 10 days almost and twitter, friendfeed, facebook, Youtube all these sites tel us whats going on in Iran.

But what bothers me more and makes me real sad is that whatever is happening in Iran, innocent people are being killed. People around me with whom I talk about this say its ok. People die in India too, its no big deal. Why are you so concerned about Iran & Tehran? You are over reacting because you do not have any other stuff to do.

Wow. I mean I know that I know no Iranian, I do not have friends or relatives there or no loved ones are being killed or affected, but does that mean I do not have to be concerned?

I am concerned, sad and disgusted and I do feel helpless that I can do nothing about those people who are ruthlessly killing innocent people out there and that I can not help those being killed just because they are protesting against the elections, which they think have had unfair results. How can any one in the world JUSTIFY innocent people being killed?

I do NOT THINK its possible. You cannot justify that kind of barbaric behavior. Where the hell is US now? or UN? or all the humanitarian organizations? What are they doing about this situation? Why is the world just looking at these things happening there silently? Why is no one reacting to it and trying to stop it?

The US would get involved and poke its nose in any damn country's matter EVEN IF ITS NOT REQUIRED, so why is the super power of the world quiet now? Why is UN, Red Cross not sending people to help the wounded and people being killed?

Yes I am concerned because I am a HUMAN BEING and being Human its obvious & very natural that you should be concerned. If you are not sad, if you are not moved looking at the things, hearing the news of innocent people being killed, I do not think you are human enough. I have a conscience, a heart, a soul which gets hurt and I react this way.

I can just pray for the families of those dead and wish that things get back to normal ASAP. And Yes, if being concerned about such people is idiocy, then I am HAPPY that I m an IDIOT. And no, I do not want to change. I REFUSE TO CHANGE & WILL ALWAYS BE THE WAY I AM.
