Recollecting a dream
By Esmail Nooriala
December 1, 2000
The Iranian
I had a dream
When the Halloween was splashed out
Over the colony of my quicksilver agonies.
I found myself turning into a children's song -
Repetitious but always new
Mundane but forever etched
Into a forgetful glorious memory.

Queasy feeling
Enjoy Shirin Neshat's thrilling art. But...
By Roya Hakakian
November 30, 2000
The Iranian
Let us all rejoice in the fact that once produced, the work of art no
longer belongs to its maker. Let us particularly rejoice in the fact that
as viewers, we can revel in Shirin Neshat's art without requiring her own
instructions. For to be guided by this artist through her work is to be
derailed from the thrilling and universal experience of it >>>

Objection!
Iran should defend itself in U.S. courts
By Babak Movahedi
November 29, 2000
The Iranian
Although foreign countries are usually protected from lawsuits by U.S.
parties under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, countries such as Iran
that are deemed by the U.S. Department of State to be state sponsors of
terrorism are excepted from such immunity. As a result, there have been
a number of cases filed and judgments entered against the government of
Iran. In each case, Iran chose not to enter an appearance in court >>>

Negotiating with the devil
They sounded like they were trading camels
By Siamack Baniameri
November 28, 2000
The Iranian
Reza is a shrewd Iranian businessman who prides himself of being the
biggest charlatan in North America. He is a type that paints a Yugo and
sells it as a Cadillac. He cheats, lies, deceives, and manipulates with
ease and sleeps like a baby at night. Reza, the only son of a multi millionaire
bazaari from Mashhad, should be the poster child for Planned Parenthood.
They should hang a picture of him on the wall with these words, "Here
is another reason for birth control." >>>

Making a hero
Heroes are neither self-selected nor eternal
By Ali Akbar Mahdi
November 27, 2000
The Iranian
The trials of Akbar Ganji and Ebrahim Nabavi in the Islamic Republic
of Iran have caused many Iranians to reflect on the political and personal
characters of these two political prisoners.
Heroes are neither self-selected nor eternal. Extraordinary behavior
or posturing may bring someone quick recognition as a hero. However, such
an honor may be taken away as quickly as it was granted. Being a hero is
an ephemeral reality. It is a quality defined by and residing in the minds
of others, rather than by and with the hero himself/herself >>>
