I dropped off Mahdiyeh at the recent Backstreet Boys concert in Washington,
DC (February 2, 2001). Afterwards I asked her about the show. She loved
it. "Was it better than the Googoosh concert?" "A LOT better,"
she said. And she's a big Googoosh fan too. But... -- >>>

When all else fails
By Setareh Sabety

The Iranian
My daughter came home today from school and for the third time told
me that a boy in her class was teasing her for being brown and Iranian.
Since I had just the day before talked to her teacher about it I was shocked
to find out that the teachers subsequent actions had bore no fruit. I was
very angry and told my daughter that next time this happened to hit the
boy! >>>

Ten commandments
For dialogue & conflict resolution
By Majid Tehranian
February 15, 2001
The Iranian
What is the magic of dialogue? In contrast to all of the above, dialogue

"t") must be therefore negotiated among contending parties >>>

Women simply don't understand me
By Siamack Baniameri

Like many hot-blooded Persian men, I am a legend in my own mind. I am
better, faster, and stronger. I make more money and know more than anybody
else...
I'm a complex individual and women simply don't understand me. I can't
hold a conversation with the opposite sex for more than ten minutes without
getting slapped on the face or kicked in the nuts >>>

The revolution that went terribly wrong
February 12, 2001

It is hard to describe the joy so many felt on February 11, 1979. The
