Re: Jamshid....terorizing Arezu

Jamshid and et al,
Enough of terorizing each other's character!

Since the real characters are hinding behind fake names, it's ridiculous to name people this and that. How do we know you are not being fed by some IRI enemy? So, since it's not verifiable, stop this nonsense andjust talk about ideas.

I think Iran is cool. I went back to vatan after 23 years and it was awesome - brought back lots of memories. However, it has changes vastly. It is different. For someit's better and for some it's worse. Some wants to rule, some wants be overthrow regime, some don't give a damn to politics, some only care about making money, some weak ones fall into the fang of narcotics.........
All this is the sort of "state of mind" people have. All I say is whoever you are - Do NOT be a slave to the plans of people with special interest. If you do, you loose the moments you can otherwise enjoy - the moments of your life.

Peace;

Aniranies are true gohiranies!

It is wonderful true iranians like Xerxes, Arezu, Javad Agha, Cyrus and all other brave iranians in this website, as it is gloomy and sad to see nasty 'aniranies' like jamshid, k sassanian and all other vatanforoushs nagging and nefarioulsy attacking Iran.
Down with pig aniranies!
PS: Anirani is a persian word from Shahnameh referring to the enemies of IRan. To that I add the fact that these aniranis are true 'gohiranies' as well!

Arezu don't bother

The idiots who sell their country to any American in an eye blink. You want to talk to them. I saw one comment in another article that totally agree with. Vatan forushi keh shaakho dom nadaareh. With these guys who commit treason, really embarrassing to any true patriot, who mistake a regime change (that they are not willing to do shit for, just ask their boss to BOMB my beautiful Iran) to destroying THEIR COUNTRY. Now we have to teach the American about Iran and the Iranians in LA about Iran!!! HELLO!
If it sounds like a traitor, treason, and enemy of Iran then it must be. So to all of you PERSIANS out there, hello Persians. I hope that you PERSIANS get rid of the Mollays so eyeren can become free for you PERSIANS, and oh, I forgot, go googoosh and hip hip hurray to American fighters who will free us. AND since I am a PerSIAN I have to say also that down wid eyrabs. All of you and shalom (Masalan Kouroush susuliyan) belong to one another.
Iran is not you; get it in to your head. You are where you belong, stay and be happy. Iran has a long way to go and doesn't need you traitors who can't understand history and the necessary steps to a true democracy. Boro baba kashketo besaab. bache susula. Persian!! Persian my ass
and Shalom (aka k susulian) Keshvaret jood-khuneh khaili tokhmiye. to ham boo midi. boro kuneto beshur bache rabbi. Ma tu Iran dah taa mese toro ba yeh neshun mikonim.

ESL

Mr. Mullah killer, are you an honorary American? For what kind of an American would use 'throwed' as you did in your vulgar comment:"u should be throwed from the tallest..."?

Don't they offer the NYC cab-drivers any E.S.L. courses in America?!

Re: Get a load of these IRI lovers....

The bastards keep saying that they are the true Iran lovers and we, the opposition to the IRI are the enemies of Iran.

HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO REPEAT THIS? That this technique of "we are true Iranians and they are anti-iranians" works in a remote village of Iran but NOT IN HERE, you imbeciles.

You bastards are the torturers of Iranians, the true enemies of Iranians.. You are loafing off on Iran's wealth and sucking on Iran's blood.

Keep loafing off, very soon az tooye holghemootoon har chi kooft kardid dar miarim.

down with 'aniranians'!

Dear Nadine

thanks for your nice comments and objective observation of life in Iran. This shows your courteous manner and civilized approach.

Don't get stunned by seeing many comments by rude and uncivilized 'aniranies' in this website. They are a bunch of aniranies=enemies of Iran who have put the mask of iranian though they are not, they are nuts!
Thank to Arezu and other real iranians who have shown their support for their country.

There are free events in Tehran that you should watch

the next time you visit. They offer a free t-shirt, also. Stonning, hangings and lashes just bring out the best in a beautiful city.

Who deleted my comment????

Who deleted my comment????

miss sultan's dick sucker

what has your cocksucking conclusion to do with your journey to arabized Iran?
And if you think America is superficial then why dont you move your anal hole to the poor-free land?
People like u should be throwed from the tallest skycrapers of NY. We still got plenty of them, despite your terrorist masters WTC campaing.

Re: Arezu

Arezu asks where are the opposition leaders are sitting, and where are YOU sitting? What about Rafsanjani? Khatami? Khamenei? Hoder? Cyrus? Daryush?

All in air conditioned homes, getting fatter by the days, while the Iranian people are suffering at the hands of those who are feeding you...

You Arezu and your likes, are a parasites who are feeding on the pain and misery of Iranians. You use the prosepect of war, Israel and a bunch of other BS to cling to that Iranian vein, so you suck more blood out of it.

Once this regime falls, parasites like you will have to give all you took back.

Woow Arezu !!

You had me fooled - I thought you are some kind of good hearted liberal - far from it.  You have no heart.  Read your last post once again and see if you can detect ANY signs of the current suffering of Iranians under one of the most brutal regimes ever !!  

Of-course I advocate a regime change - which true child of Iran does not ?   Of-course a regime change will be difficult and bloody - but what is your excuse for promoting status quo ?   I know all about "Bey of Pigs", and how nationalists can be fried in between Changes in US Admins - that is exactly why I wish for the Iranian population to wake up and take charge - because there is no question the mullahs are doomed to fall - only question is at what cost ? 

You indicated your doubts about me - let me now put my 2 cents on you.   Do you by any chance have financial ties with Iran - an interest you feel you may lose in case of a regime change ? 

Travelling to Tehran

I am afraid somebody have been too soon in tehran. because....please acknowledge the following:
Iran to hold charity music festival
Loris Tjeknavorian
Iran is slated to hold the second Mahak Music Festival, to commemorate the 70th birth anniversary of the renowned Loris Tjeknavorian.
The income from the charity festival, which will be held in the Mahak Pediatric Cancer Hospital, will be used to launch the center's bone marrow implant ward.
Soloists from the Austrian Cultural Forum and Armenia's Chamber Orchestra will perform classical music pieces during the 8-day event aimed at supporting children suffering from cancer.
The previous festival held in 2006 was conducted by the world famous Armenian-Iranian composer and conductor Tjeknavorian.
The second Mahak Music Festival will be held from November 29th to December 6th, 2007 in Tehran.

So? who is going to tehran? Greeting

TO: masoudA

Yes, we all know you are an advocate of regime change. As you stated in your article; "Wake up!
For the benefit of all Iranians who have their heads in the sand by masoudA 29-Oct-2007": //iranian.com/main/2007/wake

You are asking the Iranians to rise up and unite to overthrow the IRI. Isn't this exactly what the Americans are parroting?? They want Iranians to rise up against the regime, the same way they asked the Kurds and Shiites in Iraq to rise up against Saddam and then left them to be bombed and gassed by Saddam and did nothing to protect them!!

How simple minded are you, and then of course you may not be!! This is the American dream, to have Iranians overthrow the regime. It doesn't matter what happens to Iranians in the interim!! And of course you are going to say for the sake of "freedom" we must sacrifice. The same b.s. that Bush is feeding the American soldiers as he is sending them off to Iraq, while he and his VP are sitting here in the U.S... Where are you going to be while the Iranians in Iran are to sacrifice for the likes of you - here in the U.S. or some other country? How very patriotic of you, and how much of a lover of the Iranian people are you while they are taken to prison, and potentially killed??

This idea of regime change is exactly why there has been a rise of crack down in Iran against the Iranian people. This is why the innocent that you are speaking about are being thrown into prison? How hypocritical, form one side of your mouth you speak about the brutality of IRI and from another side you incite people to do exactly that which you blame IRI for. Any country, including the U.S., China, Russia, France, and Israel will capture and imprison, and shut down news papers when they believe that there is an attempt to overthrow the regime. This is natural self defense.

Don't worry, the U.S. and Israel, and the MEK, and the monarchists are already doing everything in their power to do exactly what you are advocating; while Ms. Rajavi is sitting somewhere else outside of Iran, Mr. Reza Pahlavi is sitting in Washington D.C., and the U.S. is unleashing terrorists inside of Iran to create upheaval among Iranian ethnic groups, in Kurdistan, Baluchistan, Azerbaijan etc. They are even going beyond this, by imposing sanctions on the country which only hurt the people and not the regime, making their life more economically difficult than it is now!! They are squeezing the Iranian people, just like they did under Saddam’s rule with their atrocious sanctions. Yes, the U.S. says we are not targeting the people but the regime, but we are no fools, they are directly targeting the people in order to force them to rise up. The U.S. doesn’t care about the Iranian people no more than they have cared about the Iraqi people.

Regime change won’t simply take place by people rising up against the government; troops will have to be sent in. That is foreign troops and the coalition of the willing; the U.S. and whatever countries they can fool again to venture into another Middle Eastern country. What do you think those troops are going to do? Blow a kiss to the Iranian people, or are Iranians going to kiss them back as their “liberators”, did the Iraqi’s do the same with the American soldiers? No, they did not. What do they have to show for this democracy and liberty in Iraq; ANARCHY!! And who do you have in mind to replace the IRI. Anyone particular? Any Iranian Chalabis we don’t know about; we can only guess who are the traitors lining up to go back at the cost of the Iranian people living in Iran who have done all the sacrificing while these traitors have been living in foreign countries.

So what the are you actually advocating?? And how do you plan to execute on your strategy? It would be very enlightening if you can discuss your strategy.

Masou A

Oh Yeah, I am glad that they do it for the real human beings rather than your bosses, the western Arababs of yours. So what, you are talking from your ass, where do you get your infor from? From Shahanshah Aryamehr? or Bush and Chaney? By the way, Iran today is a progressive nation, better than any western arbaab of yours could try to dream. Dream on for the day that your arbaabs will rule Iran. We will

To Arezu !!

Before you tag your hamvatans - you may want to consider some facts about the mullahs and their propaganda styles.

Every year - on several occasions (such as 22 Bahman, etc.) the mullahs herd into Iran losers from the moslem world who are willing to travel to Iran for free fare and meals and of-course great receptions and gifts !!  These losers are flown to Iran under the cover of ridiculous seminars - such as: Favorite colors of Emam Hossein !! joke.   Meanwhile, these folks are paraded around Tehran, attend Namaz Jomeh, and Certainly pay their respect to Khomeinis tomb - with many PR related photo-ops, presenting the IRI leaders as one's who have great support in Islam World.   Do you get that ?   That is why I asked our friend Nadine - to no avail - what her seminar was about and what great scientific topics were discussed there.   Get that dear ?

Liberal minded good hearted folks like you are the one's the mullahs try to hide behind - don't amke fools out of yourselves - get out of the way - because the mullahs are in their final days. 

Iran is a beautiful country with great people - but as others pointed out, Iran needs help these days not empty praises.  Best Wishes - to Iran, Iranians, and Iran Lovers. 

Come again to see Shiraz.

Dear Nadine (Nadine jaan);

I am happy that you had an excellent trip to Iran.  Next time, please visit Shiraz, you will love it.  This is one of my favorite cities in Iran. 

Dr. Mohammad Ala is Professor of Business and a Board member of www.iran-heritage.org, www.iranalliance.org, and www.persiangulfonline.org

Thank you Cyrus, Daryush, and others

Dear Cyrus, Daryush, Iranian, Pollniro and others who have the intellect, civility, patriotism, kindness and compassion to see that not everything is bad whether it be under IRI or the Shah or some other regime, thank you!! With individuals like you there is much hope that Iran will move forward and progress despite all of the animosity against this nation even from our own anti-Iranian compatriots.

Iran will always remain our mother land, and its people are always our compatriots, who have made many of us proud of their accomplishments on behalf of our country.

Those who only give negative comments are stuck in quick sand. When one is stuck in a quick sand how can we expect them to be positive and hopeful? The paradox is that many who are stuck in the quick sand are not even living in Iran!!

I am not bothered by the abusive statements these people make. I know exactly what they are doing - to intimidate people with their foul language, and labeling so that no one dares to speak again!! This to them is considered "freedom of speech".

However, they will not be the winners. All they can do is come on this web-site and you can see their postings on most articles on iranian.com - always abusive, always negative, twisting everything one has to say which may not have anything to do with politics to their most interesting subjects - IRI bashing, Muslim bashing, Arab bashing, if you say that the sky in Iran is full of stars; they will say the sky in Iran is ugly and polluted. However, all one has to do is start bashing Iran and they suddenly become your best buddies.

There is nothing to discuss with these individuals.

By the way Pollniro I have to apologize to you, not the other way around. I am here while you are in Iran struggling under difficult conditions. I am shameful that you may think that all Iranian dissidents are like the individuals who are belittling Iran and your efforts. But this is a very tiny fraction of Iranian dissidents believe me!! There are many more Iranians as well as Americans who are fighting to prevent harm to come to Iran and the Iranian people. I only wish we could do more, but we are united with you and just because we are on this side of the Ocean does not mean we have sold our souls, our counsious, our roots to anyone!! One thing which matters to us beyond anything else is the security and safety of IRAN AND THE IRANIAN PEOPLE.

Daryush thank you for the beautiful pictures. I will distribute it to all Iranian lovers and Americans who need to see what Iran or I should say Tehran looks like.

Dear Nadine, Thanks for your

Dear Nadine,
Thanks for your observations and sorry for being attacked for your opinion!
The IRI has created so much "hatred" in Iran that even one word of praise for the country at this moment in time is like an explosion twice over!
The hatred stems from all that has happened in these past 29 years of ......( too many atrocities to enumerate, but all these atrocities are in plain view for all Iranians to see and feel, and has been felt for all these past 29 years...)
So, for anyone to praise the IRI in any form or manner is like mental torture by a person who does not know the truth at all!
It's like having a truly ugly painting in disgusting colors with no form and no substance and the artist being a real jerk and abuser of all sorts, and then someone coming along and parising the artist, his talent and his great work!!
...and certainly the truth cannot be seen at a single glance, with a short stay.
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip and had a good time, I know you meant your article as a compliment to the people and the country.
Thank you for the compliment.
Sorry for the rude comments.
I hope you can return at a time when the people of Iran are happy in their hearts, then we can show you true hospitality and genuine care!
Take care,
Maryam

Thanks for sharing your experience

Thanks for sharing your experience of traveling to Iran with us. I enjoyed reading it and I am GLAD you had a good time.

As you have noticed from the posts, there are many impolite anti-Iranian bunch who we call them Ey-ranians. They demonstrate poor judgment and are bunch of free-loaders who are afraid to reveal their identities because they are coward.
-

Dear Arezu, as someone said … do not get upset. These Olagh people will remain Olagh regardless of how much you or others try to teach them.

Thanks again Nadine. Hope to see you in Iran again, next time please come to Shiraz, Isfahan, and Kerman.

all i can say is: Im glad I

all i can say is: Im glad I dont live in that sick country of yours... and oh yeah, go to hell and say hi to that devil khomeini

As An Iranian

As an Iranian who actually lives in Iran I have to say to those traitors, Khafeh (Khafah), saaket, khamush, betamargin bache fisghiliyaa. IRI will remain as long as we got you "brains" as "opposition". What do you expect? Iraninans give their lives so you come back and do what? So khafah. For those who haven't seen these pics or Tehran for a while check this out:

Jamshid 4 president!

Thank you very much for putting those iri scumbags of the islamic republic of arab nazis (i.r.a.n.) on their place!

Long live Parsia!

the only reason people are

the only reason people are swearing to nadine is beacuse she went to iran and had fun. most of these people who are upset can not come to iran, so they are just jelous. and also every second opinin is
' nadine does not know about turture" some people need turture. like traitor, feminists, and liberals. these poeple are spies for american anyway. what is wrong if few of them die, they deserve it. what is important soem poeple can have fun in iran, you can sit here right until the end of the time.

Arezu

Arezu;
We are stuck with morons like Jam shit.
No use getting yourself angry over the likes of him.
Better just to laugh at them, they are useless when it comes to raising a hand to help themselves.
It really proves what Nadine has said about us.
FATALLY PESIMISTIC.
The Iranians are very ambitious, yet they are realistic and fatalistic in pessimism. There is an element of contradiction in their behavior between today’s aspirations and the legacy of their highly sophisticated and civilized culture.

The Turks are modest at heart and fatalistic yet optimistic.

The Americans are superficial in their ambitions with the proverbial attitude that “the ends justifies the means”.

I enjoyed the review of her visit to Tehran...

I don't know why she had to insult the people of NYC at the end. She holds a US Passport?
Great...she chose to live in a horrible country and not a wonderful country? What does that tell us about her judgment.

Yep; I feel for both and in

Yep; I feel for both and in general for humanity; I live in this great country and worry about the issues around me. I let the people in Iran solve their problem but I'm concerned and sypmathize with their issues as well.
Hope it's clear.

we have only homeless children

dear nadine,
i'm happy you enjoyed your stay in iran.

In iran we don't have homeless adults, but we have homeless children who don't go to school and sell stuff in the street. if you had stayed longer, you might could get to know our unemployed addicted hopeless youth and our angry elderly and our crazy drivers, or you could feel the heat wearing an islamic dress or to be condemned to lashes for the crime of laughter...but you didn't stay long enough so you missed to see Iran.

Lost Identity

LostIdentity, can you please stop "feeling" the pain of the American people, and start "feeling" the pain of the Iranian people?

I am not an American and I care less for their pain, as Americans got 300 million living beings to care and do something about their pain.

Re: Jamshid

Can you feel the agony of women being raped every 20 minutes near you in modern world?
Can you feel the trauma of kids going thru incest?
Can you feel the effect of child-abuse in child's life happening one abuse every hour in democratic countries?

These are BIG numbers of incidents!!!!!!

I do not think any crime against humanity (especially defensless ones) is forgivable - whereever it happens.

Re: pullniro

Pullniroo "from behind a filter proxy in Iran" says: "i cannot feel my shame and rage when i see our compatriots who have live in democratic countries could not tolerate one single opinion..."

Can you feel the pain and torment of those Iranians who are being tortured by "torture specialists" in Iran? What about the cries of those women who are stoned to death? The hanged children?

You claim "they (Iranians abroad) could not tolerate one single opinion..." Have you asked your stupid self why the heck this site is "filtered" in Iran? Perhaps because it is the IRI that cannot "tolerate" any "single" opinion in Iran?
