I just watched Dingomaro, a documentary about Afro-Iranians and the rich musical culture, dance, and vibrant spirit of Bandar Abbas and Hormozgan Province. It is a beautiful reminder of the simple pleasures in life, the kind we could all use a little more of.

"Let's take a look at the power plants and sites we might be able to hit," says one of the hosts in this fascist muppet show, with enthusiasm. "The Damavand Power Plant supplies 40% of Tehran's electricity... the Bushehr nuclear power plant..."

"They steal our land, build settlements on it, kill our sheep, and take our children's lives," said a Palestinian man who, in his youth, took up arms against the Israeli occupation. After seeing a bullet pass through a young girl's head, he said: "And they call me the terrorist."
