The Iranian
My mother has a degree from Tehran University. She worked for many years
before following her two children to the U.S. She lives by herself, travels
a lot with her friends, and has taken care of my son for the last eight
years. She also drives the car faster than I do. But she cannot use a mouse

The Iranian
Gholam-Reza Mohajeri-Nejad was giving a talk at a Washington, D.C.,
gathering about Iran's student movement. He spoke about the period leading
to the July 1999 uprising, when zealots stormed the dormitories at Tehran
University. At least one student was killed and hundreds were injured.
Mohajeri-Nejad, 29, was a witness to the uprising. Now he is in the United
States to share his observations >>>

By Guy Dinmore
Financial Times
March 6, 2001
With elections in Iran just three months away, Mohammad Khatami, the
pro-reform president, faces a bleak choice: to go for a second term and
risk four more years of setbacks, or quit politics and hand over the reins
to his hardline opponents >>>

Engage secular Iran

March 5, 2001
WASHINGTON As the "rent-a-crowds" of the clerical regime in
Tehran wind down the celebrations of the 22nd anniversary of the Islamic
Republic by chanting their customary "Death to America," US policymakers
are grappling with a continuing problem: how to deal with Iran >>> FULL

* Official Noruz recognition
Hamid Bahadori writes:
The City Council of the City of Mission Viejo, California, will adopt
a proclamation in their meeting of Monday 3/19/01 to recognize "March
20th" as the "Nowrooz - Iranian Year." I urge all the Iranians
who hear this news to show up in the Mission Viejo City Council meeting
on Monday 3/19/01 at 6:00pm to express their support and appreciation >>>

* How? When? Where?
Setareh Sabety writes:
It is so sweet that poor little Reza Pahlavi has a friend who loves him
so! Meanwhile the rest of us have to worry about paying the bills. I resent
anybody trying to tell me that Reza Pahlavi has sacrificed his youth for
pursuing democracy in Iran. How? When? Where? Or do we count the worrying
that we all do for Iran as sacrifice? >>>

* Rezadoust
Aref Erfani writes:
Once again the voice of emotional and "god-he-is-such-a-nice-guy
only-if-you-get-to-meet-him" oversimplicity has come thru in the form
of an article by Mr. or Ms. Mihandoust ["My
friend"]. While Mr. Pahlavi may not wear Rolex watches or prefer
the smallest room in the condo, Mihandoust completely misses the point.
This is not a personal "thing" with Mr. Pahlavi. His tastes,
personal choices and humility, if truly so, while quite admirable, are
not why people have an issue with him as a political figure >>>

* Vatanforoush
Korosh writes: I
read the article ["Citizen
Pahlavi"] and I tell if you are Iranian, you are nothing but vatanforosh.
If you are an Iranian, mention three things the Shah did wrong. If you
want to point out that he killed too many communists or fucking religious
people, obviously he did not kill enough >>>

* Not funny
Behrooz Jalayer writes:
I read Karim Azari's not-so-funny piece about the chelokababi ["Shah
Hassan..."]. What was his point? That the server didn't understand
his comments because of his broken English? Or is he telling us about the
lack of political energy late at night at a chelokababi? Or are you trying
to redicule Reza Pahlavi? Or are you just trying not to be funny?

Poem
Translation of today's poem by Zara
Houshmand:
I want a trouble-maker for a lover,
Blood spiller, blood drinker, a heart of flame,
Who quarrels with the sky and fights with fate,
Who burns like fire on the rushing sea.
