* I do NOT support whatever
Dear Mr. Mirfendereski, [The
last stand of all things Persian]
Hereby wanted to thank you for your NICE article about the Persian Gulf.
Although I agree with what you have written in that article, I do not find it appropriate
to attributes adjectives as misguised, ... to the PGTF.
I even do not find it appropriate to publish these things in the name of the actions
of these groups. Becuase it may not only disgrace even the good deeds of these people
but also degrades the values of your article down to an oriented one.
I am one of PGTF members; but this does not mean that I DO support whatever its board
believes to be the truth. But for some considerations, among which is to help defend
my Persian heritage [but not by any kind of ways], I cooperate with them. And really
believe that they are working honestly, although PGTF may do such uncosidered things
like what was about the museum or the same cases.
Sorry for my being frank. but know that not all PGTF members are the same and you
cannot find any other such groups that all their members think the same. However
they work together, get happy together, cry together, and get offended together.
Regards,
Ali Moslehi
Comparative Linguist, Ph.D.

* We don't want to act like: "you are either w/ us or against us!"
Bravo to Jamshid! [Erasing
our identity]
I am so glad to see patriotic people like you in this part of the world! I deeply
respect your thoughts and efforts in maintaining the Persian values and heritage!
Your writing is outstanding! I cannot add any more to what you wrote!
I disagree w/ boycotting any countrymen just because they are misguided. As much
as I feel betrayed, but as a Persian I forgive their short comings! We don't want
to act like: "you are either w/ us or against us!" (that's facts of life)!
Tolerate the dissension, but fight for what you believe in and let people who believe
in you follow you!
Please keep the flame burning in your soul! My soul, your soul and almost all the
Iranians souls will always be in Iran! If one can betray his heritage only after
couple of decades living outside his place of heritage he can betray his new found
home in a heart beat!
Look at the jews the most successful people in the world, they never forget their
heritage! (they even are sending the Americans to protect their country of 53 years)!
Our heritage is where our real soul is and we must not betray it! To betray it, is
to betray ourselves! (You know there are a lot of traders!)
Thank you and God bless Iran, Persian gulf and America!
PS: Let me know if I can be of any assistance!

* You sell anybody for a price
Recently an article appeared in your page [Three
blind men] that it had three names in its heading "Saddam, Ben Laden, and
Khomeiny", I did not read the article, but just a glance at its head line told
the whole story.
It is obvious from your motto that "nothing is sacred".
To yellow, coward, traitors that statement makes sense, "we sell anybody
for a price". I am sure your wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters are at some
corner prostituting themselves just as you are (after all nothing is sacred).
I will have no problem with your treachery if only you drop the name "iranian
from your site. Call yourself "MKO" or "NCR" any shit that resembles
you mother fuckers.
Correction "Saddam, Ben Ladden, MKO, Editors of this mother whore fucking site.

* How much did they buy you for?

* Send it to Sundance?
Mr. Safizadeh, [Shahsavan]
I am really impressed by the pictures of your documentary, truly fascinationg. Have
you thought of releasing this film in a future festival like Sundance? This
picture particularily looks like a painting.
It is very odd that these tribes somehow ressmble American Indians ore at least
their lifestyle resembles to theirs.
Their is a Biblical dimension I feel to this migration that seems to continue over
and over generation after generation. Do think of getting this film released, it
surely will have an audience.

* Why the worst one?
Please change the first
photo on Homeyra's
page. She has so many nice pictures on your site and you use her worst picture
as her main one?
I hope you have not done this purposely, so please make the change. She is such
a pretty lady, so why do use her worst photo when you have so many other ones????
Thanks,

* Nothing to do with Bush & Saddam
I would just like to comment on the song that is linked
on this page, called "Baba
Feen": because it states something incorrectly. I, myself am Iranian...
and am a speaker of both Farsi and Arabic.
That page
describes the song as, "Bush & Saddam: In Arabic" and "U.S.-Iraq
conflict". But the entire song has nothing to do with the conflict at all --
therefore, I don't see why it is labeled so.
In fact, the music video for the song is entirely made up with kids. If you're
interested enough to see what I'm talking about, the music video for this song can
be found here: and it clearly shows that it has nothing to do with the conflict
I just thought that your site might like to be informed of this because I just
don't think it's right to label such a fun song with the conflict.
Thank you.

* Haalam beham khord
I couldn't go beyond the second picture of the photo essay of the crash [Search

of showing or even the family members of holding pieces of the bodies of the victimes?
It's just disgusting and savage.

* A great loss: Maral Beheshti
As you may know we have lost a dear and decent compatriot whom we had come to
know through the pages of your website. Maral Beheshti passed away, at a young age,
due to a cancerous condition in the early days of January.
For all those who knew her through her writings, it was a great loss, let alone
those who were close to her. We were informed by Rashid Sardar of her passing shortly
after the recent update of the Letters and therefore it was too late for that edition.
But we have prepared a note of remembrance on that I am forwarding on behalf of
the Forum to which we all subscribed. I would be grateful if you could publish this
in the next update of Letters. No email contact is intended and the collective signature
should suffice.
May I use this opportunity and thank you for providing us this opportunity to meet
such dear people such as Maral.
Parviz
Here is the text of our message:
It was with immense disbelief and sadness that we learned of Maral's passing last
month. She was a passionate patriot and a tireless campaigner for freedom in her
homeland, Iran. She was also a regular Letters writers and made many memorable contributions
in support of the cause in which she believed. We miss you dearly Maral and extend
our profound feelings of sympathy to your loved ones.

* Not an advisor to Pahlavi
The article posted on your website by Dr. Iraj Pakravan "Pahlavi
pulling a Rajavi?" contains two factual mistake which I would like to bring
to your attention:
1. I am not an advisor to Mr. Reza Pahlavi.
2. I have never advocated US military action against Iran.
I thank you for considering this note and would appreciate if you could correct these
mistakes.

* Hates Israelis more than the mullahs
I read Mr. Pakravan's article and mostly agree with his assessment that the opposition
to the IRI is not united and is incompetent [Pahlavi
pulling a Rajavi?].
The ironic thing in all this is that Pakravan's own thinking reveals the reasons
why. It also reveals why the mullahs have survived so far. Instead of concentrating
on the matter at hand, i.e., oppostion to the mullahs and their corrupt regime, he
is worried about a possible future involvement of Israel in Iranian and Middle Eastern
affairs.
He is engulfed by some unproven conspiracy theory that might someday happen, and
not by the clear and present criminal activity committed by the folks who are ruling
Iran. This tells me that Mr. Pakravan hates the Israelis more than the mullahs who
are actually busy destroying his country.
I have to give credit to Pahlavi. At least he is not confused about who the real
enemy is.

* Support any movement to get rid of IRI
I am writing this e-mail to answer the article "Pahlavi
pulling a Rajavi?". Allowing Iran to be subjugated by a foreign power. You
have all kind answers for Iranian opositions that they are trying to free Iran from
these MULLAS.... I would like to ask you what did you do to free IRAN from these
people or what alternative do you have for all Iranians who are struggling in IRAN?
Let me tell what buddy, time is running out. It is been almost 25 years of AKHONDS.
Don't you think that's enough? We need to support any movement at present time to
get rid of these people. After they leave the country then we can sit down with freedom
of speech, press, thought, religion and so on and pick your government or politicians.
But first thing first. USA, ISRAEL, RUSSA, GERMANY or ENGLAND.....We don't care
which. Those are free nations and they believe in freedom. If they can help IRAN
get a new government, I don't see why not. Voting for all these politicians in Iran
is not getting us any where.
Let's learn from the supper powers.

* Revealed: Pahlavi true scoundrel
WOW! What a bombshell!! Like woodward and bernstein breaking the watergate story
for the first time [Pahlavi
pulling a Rajavi?], iraj pahlavan has revealed a major breaking news story here
that i doubt few if any iranian are aware of.
i certainly have NEVER heard of a connection between pahlavi and AIPAC and never
knew of his connection to these fascist iran-hating pro-israel groups. and i'm one
who reads news of iran on a daily basis.
THANK YOU iraj pahlavan for revealing this shocking news. you have revealed reza
pahlavi for the true scoundrel and sell-out that he is. my god, it's hit me like
a brick in the head, because up till now i've been toying with supporting him.
I HOPE REZA PAHLAVI BURNS IN HELL LIKE RAJAVI.
