The preplexed monkey surfed through his brain;
Politics with its complexities even at it’s highest levels resembles childhood games. Actions tend to differ due to unreasonable logic. The perfect instance is the famous/notorious Iranian-American relationship. Two countries of major importance for their political & geographical status are in long-term dispute while it is obvious to both parties that developing a direct connection and by-passing the third party countries, is to their benefit if not the only solution left. But there exist some obstacles.
Ever since the monarchy of America-dependent Shah was overthrown in Iran in 1979 & the American embassy hostage taking saga occurred, both countries have been throwing a vast variety of accusations at each other just like two kindergarteners swearing and cursing each other after an argument. But this little argument has not stopped for 27 years now & strangely enough has an augmented idiopathic intensity comparing to the original nucleus. However in this world of ours that every second counts, it takes a fool not to recognise that the core problem has long been forgotten and both countries have since then evolved. Therefore it is crystal clear that new measures are to be taken accordingly.
When Americans imposed sanctions on Iran & then fueled Iraqi tanks for an invasion to the country, they had high hopes which never blossomed. The force was to break the resistance but they didn’t know that their counterparts were as stubborn as they were. Iran went under 8 years of destructive war but was still determined not to talk to the child down the block. Instead Iran, with its huge Oil reserves and second largest natural gas reserves, turned towards Europeans & this new player eagerly decided to play along & took advantage of the situation. America lost a big energy supply, the strategically important region & a possible ally, while Iran lost a powerful ally and went under economical damage due to purchasing the essentials from third parties for an over-extra price.
Now both countries see the need to establish a link but their massive challenge remains to be facing their own nations & convincing them that the monster they’ve created over the last 27 years was fake or better yet, is now tamed. Like children who have lied to their parents about this super nasty kid in their school but now want to make friends again. The ironic part is that they still publicly denounce each other with Axis-Of-Evil replacing Iran’s name in memories in McDonald land and cries of “down with U.S.A” being heard every Friday in the land of the newest Yellow-cake-club member.
There is a skeptical theme to the relation at the presence due to the fact that they have both diverted their fondness towards each other in the form of anger since they are both too shy to step forward and yet expect the other to show a sign first. The strong sense of pride in both countries is among other factors exacerbating the condition. It can also be related to a mental defensive mechanism of ours called “Projection” where an individual blames others for his own fault and makes himself to believe it’s real.
Can the men in Limousines find the secret connection-code? Can they rescue the situation and establish a link? Or will anger, temper & the child in them get the better of the situation? We’ll have to wait and see on the next exciting episode of Want-to-be-F.R.I.E.N.D.S. (With no Jennifer Anniston)
The monkey amazed by the number of words he had vomitted, feeling 30 kg or so lighter, regurgitated what was left in his mind and went to his bedroom to watch Garfield dance.
