Dear Larry,

I've written some few lines, and I do not mind to write my name if you want to publish my article. Please inform me if you publish it or not.

This is my writings:

Master of Rings

I do not know if you have ever watched "The Lord of the Rings" or not? If you have watched it, I should say this kind of rings really exists. We have such rings in Iran. Masters of power hide themselves from the public view and they impose without responsibilities to their decisions. Indeed who have the power in Iran? This is what we, Iranians, do not know exactly! Because powerful agents are hidden behind the religion. And they do not need to people.

In USA, government is dependent to people, businesses, universities. Because it should tax them for its expenses and its governance. But in Iran, People need the government. The government pay dole to people for deficient industries, weak universities and fake civilization. And this is the results of such structure: continuous revolutions, social defectives, long wars and colonialism by global powers.

Indeed oil, blood and mysteries are irresolvable parts of the last century's history in Iran. The crown or turban is not the problem; the problem is how to treat with none development structures which powered by oil and religion?

Best Regards,
Bashir

Note from Larry:
I believe that in his last sentence, Bashir means:
The crown or turban is not the problem; the problem is how to develop without using development structures which are powered by oil and religion?
