    Instead of being grateful that America let my parents move there after the 79 Revolution in Iran I am actually pissed they created the material conditions that installed the Shah. The Germans as well are part of the system that create these wars in Muslim majority countries.

      Exactly! Actually in the first draft of the email, there was such a part: how the arm industry of germany “helped” me to move to Germany.
