FORBIDDEN QUESTIONS

by: Behzad Farahani

I have had the opportunity to live and work in several different countries, which has allowed me to become familiar with a wide range of cultures.

 

Throughout my life, no matter where I lived or traveled, I found that people everywhere held a deep appreciation for the culture and the country known as America. The values, traditions, and history of America seemed to resonate with individuals from all walks of life, sparking admiration and curiosity wherever I went.

Whether by our own actions or under the influence of the British, we gradually transformed those who once admired America into individuals who were either disappointed or outright hostile toward us, one after another. It took us only fifty years to achieve that by completely ignoring centuries of history.

Throughout history, Britain has played a prominent role on the global stage. Some of its actions, such as involvement in wars, colonization, and political alliances, have had far-reaching impacts. For example, the legacy of colonial rule in various countries has led to lasting challenges, both for the former colonies and for Britain itself, including political tensions, economic costs, and moral reckonings. It serves as a reminder of the importance of carefully considering the long-term impacts of national policies and actions.

 

After World War II, we started with Afghanistan by completely ignoring centuries of history. 
Afghanistan is a country with a complex and rich history stretching back thousands of years. It has been a crossroads for various empires, including the Persians, Greeks, Mauryans, Kushans, and later the Mongols, Mughals, and British. The region’s mountainous terrain and tribal society have shaped its resistance to foreign influence and central control.

 

Since the results were exceptionally successful, and enhanced our global credibility, we chose to apply the same failed strategies and policies in countries such as Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Egypt, Somalia, South America and Ukraine. However, we did not take the time to reflect or reassess our recurring outcomes despite past shortcomings and failures.

 

We successfully managed to alienate most people who adored America, even turned some into our adversaries, creating lasting opposition where once there might have been allies, expended trillions of dollars and tragically lost tens of thousands of our own people. 

 

Our strategy has been to hire the lowest level in the societies who had no respect for any country, culture or our planet but willing to fight against any civilized populations for personal gain. People with intelligence would not accept or put up with such self-destructive actions. The psychological impact of forcing people who were not made to be professional killers into acts of violence is profound and often catastrophic.

 

Now is not the time for silence; it is the time to speak up for the values we cherish and the future we envision. We must prioritize safety, justice, compassion, and sustainability—ensuring that our children inherit a world where hope thrives and dreams remain possible.

 

In moments of uncertainty and challenge, it becomes imperative that we speak openly and honestly about what truly matters—our collective safety, the well-being of our country, and the preservation of our planet. I believe that silence, in times such as these, can carry consequences as significant as action. Thus, I would regret leaving anything unsaid that could serve to secure a brighter, safer future for us all.

 

The safety of our country and our planet cannot be taken for granted. As we navigate the path ahead, let us refuse to leave anything unsaid that could bring us closer to peace, prosperity, and survival—both for our nation and for the planet we all call home. May our words inspire action, our actions inspire unity, and our unity inspire reflection, so that together, we may forge a safer and more hopeful future.

 

By understanding our amazing assets, reflecting on mistakes, implementing thoughtful solutions, and embracing new opportunities, we chart a course toward a more vibrant, just, and prosperous future. The journey ahead is shaped by our choices today.

 

This book is a call to appreciate our amazing inherent assets, learn from our mistakes, develop actionable solutions, and boldly embrace the opportunities life presents.
