Separation
The mirror and the book
Till we meet again, till we part again
By Hossein Samiei
January 26, 2001
The Iranian
I hear the ever-questioning, the unyielding voice from that distant
corner of mind. But time is short. I bring my head down and feel the Book's
velvet cover with my lips and smell its old age. I walk under the tray
to the other side, turn around gently, and look into the mirror again.
I kiss the Book and let my forehead touch it fleetingly, before I pick
up my suitcase and walk outside >>>

Identity
Holiday confusion
I think I will stick to birthdays and Earth days
By Iran Javid Fulton
January 26, 2001
The Iranian
My relatives used to give me the guilt trip if I didn't call them on
Noruz and say "Eid-e shomaa mobaarak" but they have pretty much
accepted that it's not going to happen. It's hard to get into Noruz when
no one else around you is into it! >>>

The Iranian
I received and email from a close friend, Nooshin. She had met this
really cute girl and thought that I should give her a call. At first I
laughed.
"Come on, who are you kidding? You want me to call up a girl I've
never met?" I wrote. "I can barely talk to the girl who sits
next to me in my speech class." I pressed send and laughed some more
and went on to the next email. >>>

Editorial
Citizen Pahlavi
Holding on to the monarchy will not do him any good
January 25, 2001
The Iranian
Reza Pahlavi has many things going for him. Thanks to the religious
fanaticism of the clerical establishment, there's an undeniable sense of
nostalgia towards his late father, Mohammad Reza Shah.
The people who voted overwhelmingly for reform in recent elections,
have become deeply disillusioned, as all avenues for peaceful progress
appear to be blocked. Whatever hope there was of seeing the Islamic Republic
gradually transform into a democracy has evaporated to a large extent.
But the good news for Reza Pahlavi ends just about there >>>

Food
Bad service
Customers not respected at Iranian restaurants
By Mahmood Kanani
January 24, 2001
The Iranian
I don't like to nag. The food industry is very competitive and I don't
want Iranian restaurants to go out of business. Where else can I find chelo
kabab soltani with somagh? But I also want to enjoy the dinning experience
too. I doubt a non-Iranian will ever return after experiencing what I've
been through. But the managers know we are hooked, like junkies >>>

Something missing
Paintings by Laleh Mizani
January22, 2001
The Iranian
The passion play in Laleh Mizani's paintings (many of them) is tortured.
There's plenty of love (lust?) but something's either missing or there's
an element of sadness -- things that people who are in touch with their
senses -- and the real world -- can perfectly understand >>>

Failed policy?
A book chronciles U.S. sancxtions against Iran
By Bruce Zagaris
January22, 2001
The Iranian
Hossein Alikhani's Sanctioning Iran: Anatomy of a Failed Policy
(2000, I.B. Tauris Publishers) masterfully weaves a colorful discussion
of the start and evolution of U.S. sanctions against Iran. The success
of the book is the way it blends the various components of U.S. sanctions
policy towards Iran: history, diplomacy, economic policy, military policy,
the technical evolution of the laws and administrative sanctions and the
way in which U.S. agencies have enforced their unique sanctions against
Iran >>>
