Washington Cannot Stop Russian Nuclear Deals With Tehran
By Brenda Shaffer
International Herald Tribune
December 28, 2000
CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts Throughout the past decade, Russian-Iranian
cooperation in the nuclear sphere has puzzled Washington.
Moscow is constantly discovering Iranian attempts to illicitly attain
technology related to weapons of mass destruction, yet does little to stop
these efforts, and officially cooperates with Iran on civil nuclear projects,
which provide Iran with knowledge to advance its military programs >>>

* G.W. Bush, aka Imam Zaman
Ramin Tabib writes:
It was such a delight to read Dr. Ameli's attack against Clinton and
Gore ["Misled
by..."]. I foresee a great ambassadorship for the Doctor.
Too bad Clinton and Gore were not in power back in the 70s and 80s otherwise
the good doctor would have blamed Watergate, Iranian revolution and the
Iran-Contra Affair on the Clinton presidency.
Why doesn't Dr. Ameli come out and say it straight: George W. is the
12th Imam.
* Broken record for Republicans
Aref Eghbalian writes:
Dr. Ameli where in the hell did you get all your info ["Misled
by..."]? You must be Rush Limbaugh's number one fan.
You claim to be non-partisan. Holy shit! I wonder what you might have
said if you were partisan. The sad thing about your comments is that almost
all of them are false. You sound like a broken record for the Republican
Party.
Your response would carry a lot more weight if it was not full of subjective
and wrong information.
If you know how to really check information, you will realize that even
if you did not count the votes in Chicago, Mr. Nixon would've lost the
1962 election, but then again you don't know how, do you?
* Welcome Daryl
Kavir writes:
I read some of the comments about the photo of Ms. Ovissi and her husband
["Drawing
the line"]. As usual we are very hot tempered people and go to
extremes. While an interracial marriage should not attract this much attention,
it is clear that we are still far from there.
First of all let's welcome Daryl to our community. I am sure he will
find people that are capable of opening their mind and I am sure once he
gets to know the Iranians in person he will see that in spite of obvious
prejudice most will be able to overcome their prejudices >>>

That primrose gazed at me with her languishing eyes
Till I was amazed to see her tears flow.
The paint would run dark rivers down her cheeks
If those dark eyes were merely painted so.
