Nice comments

Not everybody disagrees with what I write, but the majority do, and that's democracy, right? One folk said that India isn't doing well. Do you know India having oil? Compare India, that doesn't have oil, to Afghanistan, which doesn't have oil either, not to Iran, which does have oil, gas etc! India is doing faaaaaaaaaaaaar better than Afghanistan. That is a correct comparison. If Iran didn't have oil it could have been similar to Afghanistan, though Afghanistan has had a worse fate by all the long-standing wars. I am starting to get used being called an Israeli, though I have written some times against the Israeli state. That is funny, right?!

get the hell outa here!

don't nice Christian Armenian victims do the same thing when they proudly kill Turkish diplomats? were you idiots not gleaming with pride when your Russian puppet government turned the soviet killing machine on innocent Azerbaijani civilians? a country that didn't even have a standing army to defend itself.

did you forget about ASALA?

you might be able to fool the brain dead Iranians in LA, but your bull crap is not getting by most of us.

there are crazy morons on both sides and your ignorance puts you in the same category.

Greater Armenia? what are you gonna do? ethnically cleanse 90 million turks, Kurds, Jews, Talysh and Arabs from their lands?

You better learn to get along with your neighbors, because 90 million people could easily gobble up the 3 million Armenians left in Armenia. Its unfortunate that Armenia has been turned into a satellite Russian state in the Caucasus. Its obvious that Moscow still has total control over Yerevan's economy, military and other institutions.

Russian hegemony in the Caucasus, Caspian and Central Asia is over and the Karabagh war was incited to keep Armenia and Azerbaijan from reaping the economic benefits of Caspian/Khazzar sea resources. Originally, the Baku-Tiblisi-Ceyhan pipline would have gone through Karabagh. Thanks to the war, Armenia was excluded from reaping millions annually in oil revenues, which has kept it economically desperate, under Moscow's thumb and heavily dependent on foreign aid and black market goods. Russia's last ditch attempt at keeping all the Caspian/Khazzar resources for its selfish new Czars has failed miserably.

nationalists like you are emotional bitches, unable to think outside of the little ethnic box you've created for yourself. Try selling your box to someone else.

YOUTUBE VIDEO CLEARLY PROVES THAT TURKEY IS DANGEROUS AND HATE-FILLED STATE

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A highly popular online Turkish video, posted on the
video sharing service YouTube last week, praising the assassination
of Turkish Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, illustrates the type
of dangerous and hate-filled environment that Patriarch Mutafyan
will return to after his orchestrated visit to the United States,
the Armenian National Committee of America said. The video, which was
originally taken down from YouTube but which has resurfaced in a number
of different forms and has been viewed by hundreds of thousands in
Turkey, depicts images of the Dink's killing with a lyric refrain, "If
a person betrays the country, he is finished off." It goes on to show
"patriotic" photos of confessed assassin Ogan Samast glorified in front
of the Turkish flag. Video lyrics also include the chilling warning:
"The only good Armenian or Kurd is a dead Armenian or Kurd." Similar
video of Turkish police proudly posing with Samast shortly following
his January incarceration for the murder was leaked to Turkish press
and made headlines worldwide.

Turkish Armenian newspaper editor Hrant Dink was gunned down in broad
daylight on January 19th in front of his Istanbul Agos newspaper
office. Dink had been prosecuted multiple times under Turkey's
repressive "Article 301" laws, which criminalize reference to the
Armenian Genocide for "insulting Turkishness." Since his murder,
Turkey's writers and historians, including Nobel Laureate Orhan Pamuk,
Taner Akcam and Elif Shafak who have spoken honestly about this crime
against humanity, have been the target of death threats.

ben the f...ing israeli agent

Just shut up you zionist ass hole! i know israel is all over iranian web sites! You f...ing MOSAD pretending you are an azari trying to destroy us from within! Dream on you ass! you should be banned from this site! this is for iranians not the damn israeli or israeli NOCHEHs! Dream on since we'll fight till the last drop of our blood for iran, no matter where we live! You drop a bomb or encourage others to do, you will be fucked so badly that you wont live to see it!

What a record!

17 comments at the time of the writing of this one and not a single agreement, complement or positive response etc. Every single one is a disagreement. This must be a record Ben. Keep up the good work!

No wonder you claim you don't get paid by IR or Israel or the US. I believe you. Who in their right mind would ever pay for such crap.

You Are Not Iranian

As we Iranians say Ben (hur) baalaa beri paayeen biyaay eeruni nisti to. You are not Iranian no matter how many times you publish your crab in the Iranian.com. I believe that you are Zionist since you talk like them and I can smell your damn Israeli Olive color shit from far. Let me tell you something, Unlike the region that you are used to, we Iranians have been in the middle east for a long time and if we didn't free you then you would be vanished by now. So write as much as you want and nag about (IRAN) as much as you cab, but Israel can not do a damn thing and will be gone soon before you are as old as me. So stay here in the US dude. I have a better idea. why not give the northern Israel to Iran since they are all discriminated and need to be liberated. and Hizbullah will take care of the rest

Mr. Medadi where should I start

I am not sure how to answer you. Man, where to start? You have a point about discrimination in Iran but rest of your ideas are just not well thought of. I just don't have the patience to sit here write to you to teach you the thought process...But I wish I could, you do need help.

Western influence and

Western influence and colonization are based on hegemony. The West thinks its superior to the rest of the world. Maybe they are right in terms of wealth and world domination but I personally would not trade in my Iranian heritage for that of any other country. Colonization is just an excuse to steal the resources of a country. I think Ben needs to look at it from the other perspective; its not that colonization helped the colonies like India, but that it really helped imperial powers like the UK to boost their economies on the backs of Indians etc. Every country has its problems, hell schools in the US were only desegregated 30-40 years ago. Give me a break with this crap that the West is so much better in every way. It just has all the wealth and is going after more as we speak.

Mr. Ben Medadi's Loyalties Are With Israel

Dear Dually Loyal Ben,
Stop pretending you are an Iranian. The little games that the gentleman's forefathers played with the help of Russian Empire and British Crown in order to destabilize Iran under the reign of Ghajar and Pahlavi have post-hoc been exposed.
In the age of Internet, Alas for you and your Israeli friends, this time around your little treachery is pre-emptively combated.
Your sword will be broken as it was in the 19 Century Europe. Keep up the hate mongering and the war profiteering. Continue the lust for other peoples' children’s blood. As day follows night, as Joseph crawled out of the well and became the prince of Egypt, as Moses smashed the Golden Calf and led his people to light, as the Second Temple was raised to the ground after the rejection of Jesus, Palestine, Iraq as well as the United States will be liberated from the Neo-Conservascist grip.

"They all act on your behind"

I figured out Ben's problem... 8 or 9 paragraphs down, he complains that "They [Iranis] all act on your behind". Maybe his behind has been 'acted upon' one too many times...

Ok, that was immature, but I couldn't resist. And anyway, this nonsensical writing doesn't deserve any real responses. It does enough damage to itself, without anybody having to point out all the fallacies.

Classic case of 'stirring the pot' and trying to create drama and/or division.

Disagree

Eventhough I disagree with the article that Western values is far more superior than Iranian values, to some extent I think some of the context in the article is true.like It is true that the more underdeveloped area in Iran is mostley where the minority lives and this cause division within the society, and might even go even further within some groups (Separatism). Am neither Pahlavi fan or Islamic fascist fan. A FEDERAL IRAN will solve everything in future ;)

I still won't trade iran for a dozen indias...

Wow! And how good is your india today? I suggest that you make a visit to both iran and india, then say which you prefer. Make sure that you see the extent of poverty and their roots (in both countries). Ask the 1 billion indians who live on essentially nothing what colonization meant to them.

I guess if you can't publish

I guess if you can't publish your diatribes and hyperboles anywhere else, there is always this website. Iranian.com has become the epitome of intellectual bankruptcy with clowns like this guy getting published left, right and center.

On the other hand, he may not be your garden variety failed journalist/analyst wanna be. He may indeed by a Hasbara Cyberwarrior on Israeli payroll trying to make Iran and all things Iranian look bad. Not that this would stop Iranian.com from publishing him.

A problem with the comment system

It is possible to make multiple accounts pretending to be several people and comment several times with different usernames. This is a technical problem that needs to be resolved.

that's ok

for him to say all that, and people who disagree with him will respond. It is happening all across the web. It is all good for dialogue. One cannot take anything for granted anymore, especially Nationalism. Nothing is sacred here.

This person by the used name

This person by the used name of Ben Madadi is trying to create racist and ethnic hatred and divisions Iranians (right in line with those who hate Iranians and Iran, or those who want to weaken Iran's social fabric). He doesn't care for Iranians at all, he's just trying to spread propoganda of hate and division among Iranians. And he's given the room on the front page of Iranian .com to write all his racist b.s. on a regular basis.

What makes you Iranian? Here is the answer

Your article reminds me of a teacher my dad paid to come over at my boarding school every Wednesday, and teach me Persian, so that I would not forget my mother tongue.


I once asked him, "what is it that attracts you to Iran", and he told me that it had the best poetry in the world", but he was also interested in Cuneiform. I asked him why he trotted all the way from the other side of UK to come and sit with such a lazy brat who was more interested in Top of the Pops. He told me that, no matter what he had done, (he was a Professor and taught Cuneiform for 40 odd years) that he loved my accent and feeling towards my own culture.


So folks it is that feeling that one has towards ones culture that makes you what you are. Sure I felt the same when my teacher spoke of his culture. But when he spoke of the ancient digs he did, and the richness of ancient Iran, I felt that it really meant something to the world, even if it did not mean anything to your average Iranian.


Iranologists are people who love and study Iran. Iran has so much history and culture that make up the roots of human civilization, that there are wold bodies and institutions created to dwell into it, even if we Iranians don't.


Being an Iranian means you like certain things that do not exist elsewhere. It could be the fact that you like to identify with the unique feelings of eating "Ghormehsabzi", or the feelings you get when you read, "Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds".


These feelings are deep inside you, and they cannot be taken away by foreigners, no matter how much they plot against you. You know that your sense of morality is what "The West" stole from Iran. So we do not need to be like them. In fact it is them that need to be more like us.

Ethnocentrist Rant

Ben,

As I have pointed out to you before, you are an ethnocentrist who sees the world through a racist paradigm. This time you have gone off the deep end! While I strongly believe in a free exchange of ideas within the Iranian community, I think that there is really no room for people like you in 21st century Iran. I have a suggestion, though; perhaps instead of writing this gibberish, you can invest your time in inventing a time machine and then transport yourself to 1933 Germany, where you can join the NAZI party. There, you can discuss the great Azeri culture. I am sure that you will find a sympathetic ear there that will be interested in your racist rant. It will also have the added benefit to us of not having to see your ridiculous nonsense on the pages of Iranian.com.

Ben's views

I have no idea why this Ben person keeps writing his views here and we have to read and get mad at him.
Obviously he has no clue, education, or common sense about the current World affairs.
I think it is pretty sad when you don't recognize your capabilities and keep sharing your garbage/trash/rubbish ideas with the entire community.
Wishing you best of luck in your dark life.
Farokh

Round Table

Ben,
You have raised a large number of very interesting issues simultaneously. This demands a round-table, or even better, a seminar like full day discussion and panel interviews, accompanied with coffee and lunch breaks :)
It is very difficult to debate these issues, even in the absense of anger, here.
And Ah,
recently, I heard that one of my friend's father, who has served Pahlavis at high ranks and now lives in Georgia, puts on his full military uniform every morning, and salutes in front of a picture from Shah!! I hope he does not read your article.

Your article is full of

Your article is full of assumptions and misinformation. if u believe that western values are superior than you r a racist dick head.

"One of the root causes of Iranian backwardness is actually the simple belief of belonging to a superior race (Aryan race)" MARTIKE OLAGH you are saying the same thing about western culture by saying it is superior to Iranian culture. Sure, you don't refer to race but essentially it's the same racist crap.

Until we learn to love ourselves, THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY, we can't have constructive criticism and we won't move forward. And stop comparing cultures.

Not based on reality

Madadi, why don't you just say Mexico is better because it was colonized by Spain and France. Honestly, I do not think so. Many of the Indogenous tribes were wiped out of the face of the earth and many languages were lost.

I do not believe that the solution is the Americans colonizing Iran. I do agree with you, in that Islam is not the problem with Iran. It is the goverment that is the problem which is using religion to justify there decisions. The focus on the real issues is not being addressed because they are too busy focusing on things that should be left to religion.
