"Yes We Can" - Barack Obama!?

I was watching Barack Obama's famous "Yes We Can" speech after the Newhampshire primary and then thought for a second about our own motherland Iran...

I remember the days in primary school back home, in the History class how proud me and my fellow classmates were when the teacher told us about "Sar Be Daran"...dont know if you guys recall but basically this group of patriotic and enthusiastic young Khorasanis decided to resist the Mongol oppression. They named their group "Sar Be Daran" we all know what it means.

Their motto, their motto was "Sar be dar midahim, jan be zallat nemidahim"...

Later on that day, I got a phone call from Iran. It was my mum, following the natural flow of conversation, with me having that thought in my mind already I asked my mum, "Mum, what happened to the revolution you and my father voted for?"...

She was silent and then said maybe another revolution will 'heal this nation'...but this generation (meaning people like me and you), they dont have the gutts (gheyrat) like my generation or like "Sar Be Daran"...coincidentally she happens to be a history teacher, hence went further and said "...for as long as our people do not want that change, the neccesity of the change will be talked about but remains a dream that could never come true. We had that desire we made our dream a deja vous...whereas you guys are day dreaming for a change."

Any opinions welcomed...for and against.

May those young Khorasanis, Sar Be Darans, be always remembered.
