Oh, Enemies All Around
Gateway has a roundup on anti-regime violence at the Balochi end of Iran. As heartening as it is to see someone challenging the Islamic Revolution, it’s not like the population of Teheran is taking to the barricades. This feels like something else:
Daniel Dravot: “Ask him who his enemies are, Billy Fish.”
Billy Fish: “Uttar say, ‘Enemies all around. The worst are the Bashkai. Always raiding and stealing our womens. And when we go to bathe, they are pissing in the river!”
Daniel Dravot: “Shocking state of affairs! You tell Uttar, we will help him defeat his enemies. He will be king of all he surveys from the highest point.”
Peachy Carnahan: “They will call him, ‘Uttar the Great.’”
Billy Fish: “Uttar say, he prefer ’Uttar the Terrible.’”
Daniel Dravot: “Uttar the Terrible it is then!”
