It is not what happened yesterday. It is the basic concept of democracy. A concept alien to you. I write about something that is beyond your grasp.

Let me teach you the basics, say China
The State
It is the legal frame work. The PLA, the courts, the postal stamps, all that apparatus is called the State
Democracy. no? there is no democracy. the Communist party.


The Nation
It is the Chinese people. Their language, Mandarin Hokien. The music. The intellectuals. The history. The poems and the poets, Their plays and their music. The drawings that Erita mastered. The architecture style
This is the Chinese Nation.

The country

I like the iranian country and the Iranian Nation the same I like and respect the Israeli nation and is country.
