Tuesday * First time I will not be able to attend the iranian.com celebration since I should be in Iran about the time. However, I do recall the first time I visited your site. I read a story about some city in Poland (I think) ["Searching for us"]. Its name sounds an awful lot like Yazd and its citizens think they originated from Yazd. Needless to say, I fell in love with The Iranian site and since then it has been one my most visited sites. Good job and nice going bro! P.S. Oh yeah, I'll be sure to visit the site and make a donation too. * Sweet & sour Hadi Khorsandi's sweet & sour humor brightens my day every morning when I open The Iranian. I would like to thank you for adding this valuable feature to the journal. Best wishes for you and The Iranian * Neurotic Diana In "Glamorous indeed", Mrs. Dowlatshahi again makes a fershteh out of Diana. The truth is she was no angel and it is not fair to compare poor Leila to her. I am not trying to say Leila was wrong or right by not doing charity work, but comparing her to the neurotic Diana is not right. Diana was a highly unstable woman who loved publicity. By the way, toward the end of her life, Diana dropped most of the those charities and she was not particularly attentive to the ones she kept. For more information about this refer to the book entitled Diana: The Story of a Princess by Tim Clayton and Phil Craig. Please people if you want to criticize poor Leila, at least find somebody else to compare her to! * WARNING label Reza Ordoubadian ["The man who would sleep with his angel"] sure made me thirsty talking about all that water ... this must be what is meant by a "WET" dream ... LOL ... had the urge to use the little girls room after the first paragraph... Question? Why is it that there was a "WARNING" before reading Nooneh's articles (being a female author) and there not being one for Dr. Ordoubadian's fictional piece? Is talking about a "hard on" not considered adult material. I'm not against sexual material; however, I feel that Dr. Ordoubadian's article should have also come with a WARNING label -- if only to extend the same courtesy given to Nooneh's readers (no sarcasm intended, or maybe just a little). Love your Magazine ... Keep up the great work everyone ... and Happy Anniversary to The Iranian! * Matter of time The question of how we got ourselves in so much mess politically as well as economically and socially boggles most Iranian minds. Doubled our population in 20 years, lost 5 million (70% with university degrees, according UN) to foreign countries, and divided the per capita head income by a factor of 100 in real terms. The regret of losing a beautiful country and turn it into some "just better than Pakistan" is just unbearable for most of us. Indeed how?, why would a nation having a relatively good economy and standard of living become so "namak nashnas" and throw away the peacock? Indeed why did we go so bloody radical, from one extreme to another? The answer is extremely easy: lack of political maturity, wanting it all on a plate today, no means to reflect your frustration to the "rulers" and change things at the top, in our case, the monarchy. The Shah was indeed a patriot (when compared to mollas), but it was either his way or no way. This really pissed a lot of people off, people who wanted to try different things. So they went mad and started a revolution and the rest is history. Now, mollas, having learnt their lesson from the late Shah, have this clever two-branch government idea that pretends to be on different sides, 1) reformers, 2) conservatives. This way they allow people to let off steam through voting and the Majlis but on the other hand, the Majlis doesn't have power to do anything. They can only pass legislation that the top dogs want (demonstrated by the recent fiasco over the Guardian Council ). So this system controls popular anger as well as keep the mollas in power. When they see the public has become fed up, they bring another "reformist". Again it all comes down to political immaturity. You are given a choice between "brown stuff", and "yellow stuff", and what do Iranians do? Go to the polls and vote for yellow stuff because it's less smelly, why? What slightest bit of difference has it made to vote for the yellow stuff, you still got the brown ones whether you like it or not. As an example, recently the prime reformist mouth piece claimed "first and second wave" Iranian exiles didn't care for Iran and saw their future in their suitcases somewhere in the West, or what he really means is that the bastards did not stick around like the thousands who got killed after the revolution by death-judge Molla Khalkhali. Or maybe Mr Mohajerani's memory is not very good and does not remember the mass killings in Evin after the revolution. Maybe he would like to explain who is vatan-froosh for killing thousands of our noble and educated Iranians; doctors, engineers, politicians, economists, army officers, pilots, va va va va. Or is it because he's pissed off that some of these so-called Iran-haters lived to tell the tale of the horror that went on whilst Mr. Mohajerani was on his high horse pleasing his Imam, taking Americans hostage and costing Iran's economy billions of dollars because of his and his comrades' direct stupid action. Or was he just playing Zoro with his mates, fulfilling his childhood dream of jumping over walls and killing off badies and drawing the Z mark on Goroban Garsia's stomach? I guess these words are quite hurtful and a sweeping statement of what happened back then but having some of one's own medicine is not a bad thing sometimes. Maybe he should watch his mouth for making such sweeping statements about those Iranians who ran for their lives and left lots of houses/factories/land etc for the Chehel Dozde Baghdad to confiscate and of course it was halal r because they were all Iran-haters anyway! Someday it will sink in that the present regime is unreformable, mollas elite are all eating off the same cherry tree. I can only see two possible outcome; I fear Iranians might get revolutionary again and I fear for that day as this time round we will have the bloodiest revolution ever recorded in mankind's history. The molla elite would not spare any lives; they would clean the entire country if they could (it's in their nature), and unfortunately even then there is no guarantee that Iran will come out of it better off. The other alternative is to stay with the status quo and chip away at molla-power. But for that you must have lots of patience as this could be a very long process -- at least two to three centuries. But then again who said democracy happens over night? it's a matter of time, education and political maturity. * Better half As a monarchist, I dislike Mojahedin Khalq for their part in 1979 mutiny, for their religious fanatism, for their cult of personality, for Mr. and Mrs. Rajavi, for their ties with Saddam, for their ideological revolution! Which no one can understand! But let us not forget, they were the better half of the fanatics who brought the disaster of 1979 upon the Iranian nation. The mollas who are ruling us today are worse. And how ironic it is that Khomeini also came from Iraq. And even worse, a lot of Iraqis are holding positions of powers in the Islamic Republic today. The best example is the conservative head of the judiciary, Ayatollah Shahroodi. J. Mohammadi ["TOTALLY intolerable"] likes to call Mojahedin traitors, but hezbollahis are worse than the Mojahedin and have betrayed our country a lot more. At least the Mojahedin did not praise Lajevardi, the butcher of Evin. They killed him!! * Shed stones, kilos and pounds I really enjoyed the humor in "So true". Recently lots of fat friends have shed and continue to shed stones, kilos and pounds using the diet mentioned. I have yet to get my act together & try it, having given up one of my last vices (smoking), eating is one of the few pleasures left. There is more to it though, the following book explains how the idea of cutting out carbohydrates orginiated and how to go about it, I am amazed the diet industry has not tried to supress it: Eat Yourself Slim (Adapted for North America) by Michel Montignac, Jean G. Dumesnil, June Rogers (Translator). * Desperate women The Iraj Mirza's poem was not about a "rape" case. It was about an Islamic woman in the early 1900's who wanted to have sex because she was horny, but at the same time she did not want to lose her religious principles. So she satisfied both by holding on to her chador, covering her upper body, but satisfying her sexual needs by her naked bottom. The poem is more like a cultural study that proves Islamic women are as sexually active as Western women, but they do it differently. New feminism these days attempts to call any sexual activity between men and women "rape", because women in the Western world can make money if they call sex "rape". The court system is virtually in the hands of women and old men who need sex from those women. Get a life, you desperate women and start having more sex before you mess up the whole world up. You've already ruined the lives of children and made them losers by divorcing left and right. How much more destruction do you want to do to the fabric of human society?
