Italy covers nudes, shame and wrong!

Italy has covered up ancient nude statues ahead of Iranian president Hassan Rouhani's official visit to Rome.
It was done in the name of respect for Iran's Islamic value, what a scam!
Pure hypocrisy,  Prime Minister Matteo Renzi was pandering to Iran.
The Italian government is expecting the Iranian contingent to sign deals worth up to 17 billion euros with Italian companies during the visit.
In layman term "money talks".
So please do not use the excuse of cultural rights.

It offends me.
It is demeaning to women and promotes Iran's culture of despotism and intolerance.
It perpetrates the myth of cultural rights and is hurtful to the struggle for freedom around the Middle East.

Enough is enough, do not talk about supporting human rights while justifying the actions of people that subjugate us under the dark cover of cultural rights.
European women lived enslaved by traditions less than two hundred years ago.
It has nothing to do with culture, it is a stage of development.

What Italy did is unacceptable.

Mr. Kerry, his eyes haunt me

The sadness I saw in the eyes of Suleiman haunt me.
It was the early time of the Syria saga.
It was the time when the Syrian children ran around their schools chanting, we want freedom.
It was the time when the 15 years old Mahmoud stomped over a picture of Bashar el Assad.
Suleiman was telling me how his nephew, Mahmoud had his two legs cut from the knee down by the security forces of Assad.
It was fitting punishment to the crime of stomping over a picture of the President.
The sadness I saw in his eyes will haunt me forever.
Obama, Kerry, Putin, and all those concerned by the crimes committed by Daesh did not look in these eyes.
They are ready to forget the millions of people killed by Assad.
It is a game of nations that has no consideration for the sadness that fell over the Syrian people at the hand of a brutal dictator who chose to kill his people driving them away to become refugees in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, and now Europe.
The sadness does not haunt the leaders of the civilized world while they sit at the same table as Assad.
They add to the horror by bullying the Syrian people to accept their executioner.
I do not understand.
I look in the eyes and they haunt me.
