100 million Iranians could be free by next week. Or they could be trapped under dictatorship for the next 50 years. Isn’t it wonderful how G-d made ideals, convictions, and bravery so important! Frightening to, really force believers, and people who claim they are good people, to put up or shut up, literally. Behind a burka. G-d is great! Barouch Hashem!
Imagine the fashionable sexy French behind a burka in less than 20 years! What comedy!
G-d gave us leaders as well, who can deduce that the people are foolish, and the women are to emotional. Perhaps the gentiles of the world might gain some mercy for their evil, from the prudence of their leaders.
Do I think they are ready? The brits, the French, the Muslims? I don’t think the Muslims can change or lead in this transformation. The bottom line for the west, is that the real meaningful objectives, are very far off the meager discourse the people are having right now. So I suppose it looks to me like the old world needs to be destroyed, by the narratives of the new world. Till then, insufficient family health, demographic health, government hypocrisy and illegitimacy, as well as all its institutions, and continued losses to the enemy of the ‘west’, the non western people, and Islam.
How much authoritarianism and consent will the world to come be built on? I do not know the amount for every nation and people. It seems inevitable to me. All that matters is how much of a contribution can you make, how much ahead of the curve are you able to place your people, to save more of them. I suppose some may look at how protected the people can be, but that seems to be a weak national strategy. Torah is truth, truth is life. In G-d I trust.
