REVOLUTION

True Iranians

I see many newcomers to this site and many old timers leaving this site. To those newcomers I say, before you make a judgment read the past articles written by the writer.
The fact is, just as bush misused the words democracy, freedom, terrorist and etc to destroy countries and kill millions. Fred, Zion and others use the wrong doings of IRI to bring war and destruction on Iran and Iranians. we all want a better Iran for Iranians, but they want a better Iran for Israel and U.S.A. If this Iran with all her faults was a friend of Israel and the west, it wouldn't have mattered what IRI does in Iran.
What if IRI was replaced with a 100% democratic government and still be against the inhumane actions of Israel,USA and England? Do you think Fred and his kind would be satisfied? I bet not. Because their goal is one world order ruled by Zionists and slavery for the rest. You see how they are suffocating the democratic majority in Palestine and what they have done in the rest of the world. That is what you get once they are in control. We are against injustice, wanted to be Israel, U.S.A , IRI or whoever else!!!

Thank you Dariush. I

Thank you Dariush. I appreciate your kind words. They mean a lot. People such as yourself should maintain a presence here so that the discussion isn't monopolized and drowned out by those who prostitute themselves and their country to foreign powers.

Dear Sadegh

I hope you are doing very well.
I haven't been checking this site for months. Since I have been very busy and the site was turning to a porn site.
we are all familiar with your writings. I have found you to be an Iranian nationalist not an IRI or west supporter. On the other hand, we are also familiar with Zionists like Fred who claim to be Iranian, but the only wish they have for Iran is to bomb her. So don't let them get to you. I love reading your articles. I wish you well. Eradatmand, Dariush

Momentum

Could be sooner, within the next two decades as the global economy picks up again, this time the U.S. will have nothing to do with it, people will become sick and tired of the lack of economic progress, and blaming it on some outside influence will not be convincing, they are right to be suspicious of globalization, and I believe Khamenei is a true patriot, however after him people will no longer require a symbol of the horrible Khomeini-Saddam-U.S. Puppet War Game Contra genocide of innocent people for profit...the only reason people prefer the mullahs is the memory of that war and the people who dragged us into that horror show.

To: Who funded Khomeini?

They will be replaced by 2030.

How do you know it won't be earlier?

You're right, and I was

You're right, and I was wrong. Fred just really repulses me. No excuse. I should conduct myself better.

Ba Arezu-ye Movafaghiat, Sadegh

Why the IRI will not last...

Because they were too focused on Islamicizing the country, which isn't necessarily bad, it just shows an inability to formulate coherent long-term strategies...they have tried equating their interpretation of a major world religion as the only acceptable path, ironically Khomeini was funded by the Illuminati, the very group they claim to be fighting, yes, the U.S. has satanic groups leading the country, but they were also the ones who gave us these incompetent, corrupt, misguided leaders...God bless the Iranian people, they have been manipulated by the worst kinds of evil 'magi'cians known to history. They will be replaced by 2030.

What is the matter Mr. Sadegh?

You can't take the heat so you call other hamvatans traitors and Khaen?

What kind of intellectual are you Mr. Sadegh?

Is this what you have to resort to when someone clearly gets on your nerves?

"Now run back to your masters you god damn vatan foroush stooge!?

The only "Khaen" " god damn vatan foroush" people I now are the ones making excuses for this dirty IRI regime? These are the people who try to rationalize the evil that is the IRI by blaming estesmari, zionism, imperialism, capitalism, orientalism and the rest of the garbage which you are fully aware off but do not want to admit to.

Look within

The very second the Islamists/Anti-Semites and their likeminded lefty allies open their eyes and unequivocally “repudiate” the Islamist republic, including all its murderous officials, your “kindly Khatami” included- is the moment that they would realize war is most wished and facilitated by themselves.

People who have their noses in everyone else’s business except helping to emancipate their own people, the ones with rivers of tears for only those that the Islmaist republic points them to, are all culpable in the crimes of the Islamist republic.

The longer this beast is kept alive by the triumvirate of nastiest ideologues, the stronger the possibility of cataclysmic military attack.  No confused one, if you want to see a warmonger, look within.  

Fred learn how to spell and

Fred learn how to spell and write a sentence. Thanks. And I still haven't heard a repudiation of an attack on Iran.

Dear all, please note that Fred is a self-loathing imbecile who is totally indifferent to the death and destruction of our compatriots!!! Is that not the very definition of "khaen"?! You make me sick...

Creativity

Again, the Islamists/Anti-Semites and their likeminded lefty allies are the least qualified in the world to scold anyone for any behavior.  And that little overused nugget about wanting to bring war ain't cutting it anymore; a little creativity is long overdue.

I am referring to the picture accompanying Ismail Noriala's article on the first page of Iranian.com right now.

The title of the article is REVOLUTION (Khorooge bi hazineh as bon bast) The article is in Farsi. I am just referring you to the picture and not to the content of the article.

It's actually a picture of

It's actually a picture of Nader Shah genius, who is actually notorious for his anti-clerical and anti-Shi'ite leanings; please read a little history before making your silly observations!

As for Fred, what can I say? You read it...shows where you are in the pecking order buddy, and the kind of individual you are to punish candor with a kick in the teeth. You're also a liar - I have refrained from criticizing the Islamic Republic, or defended Mugabe, Castro and many others on your list. You are a liar and a coward. Though I have defended Chavez, with good reason, funny how you couldn't come up with a single counter-argument, just a stupid rant of trite banalities - you're just a self-loathing vatanforoush! Why else would you call yourself Fred?!! A complete disgrace...

Finally, as an Iranian who lives predominantly inside Iran, and who doesn't spend his time selling his behind and prostituting himself to foreigners (foremost the US and Israel in your case) for a spare buck (or even worse, for free), then I can only say that yes, my loyalty is first and foremost to my COUNTRY not imperialist scum.

YOU want to see the Iranian people bombed and incinerated in phosphorous and hails of gun fire - and you have repeatedly refused to repudiate an attack on "your" country, though I in fact doubt you have any link to Iran whatsoever. You're a joke who makes pathetic little comments all day long and around the clock on Iranian.com. Grow some balls and have the courage of your convictions and stop being such a coward. Pathetic...

Sadegh jon: I don't know why

Sadegh jon: I don't know why you're so angry. I'm sure nothing Fred or I have said or will say is worth getting so worked up about.

Life is too short my friend.

Sadegh

Please take a look at the picture for the fourth or fifth article on this blog. It is a picture of a row of Iranian clergy. Kameneii is flanked to the right by Rafsanjani and to the left by Khatami. What does that tell you?

I also want a peaceful and reasonable way out of this cunnundrum but I do not want to be blind sided by clever tactics that have not born fruit in the past.

Halley's Comet

Lets take a looksy,

“On another note it's very easy to be critical of the situation in Iran, as it's generally very easy to be critical period. It's much harder to look for the occasional ray of hope or potentially positive development. Only that way will we find a way out of many of the impasses Iran presently faces, NOT by obnoxious rants and banal and impressionistic pseudo-insights. I'm not claiming to provide any of that in this rather silly article I have written here. It's a more general point and one that individuals motivated by their own petty malices and hatreds will never understand.”

It take an extraordinary nerve for someone who habitually cuts and pastes clichés critical of the U.S. and its allies, and can’t sing enough praises of the murderers and charlatans like Chavez, Mugabe, Castro, Khatami and alike to make such statement. For every dozens upon dozens of damning denunciation of the West, he has not written one against the Islamists and their crimes. And on those Halley’s Comet rare occasions that he cobbles something together about the Islamist republic “It’s much harder to look for the occasional ray of hope or potentially positive development.” Which translates into phony irrelevant fluff which he himself admits is nothing but “rather silly article I have written here.”

Obviously you haven't read

Obviously you haven't read much of Fred, or are equally extremist and hateful.

I don't have anything against Fred, I was merely emphasizing the garbled ad hominems and insults one couldn't possibly mix up with a cogent argument, but I guess you couldn't care less since you already have an agenda and he just provides grist to your mill.

sadegh: I can assure you I'm not Fred. Your anomisity toward Fred is unbecoming.

The work is scholarly with the exception of couple of them from Iran. So far, it is the most unbiased report I have have ever read. You should follow their example...

Thanks Anonymous Observer.

Thanks Anonymous Observer. Very much appreciated. I don't think one needs to necessarily agree with others in order to conduct a debate on the basis of mutual respect. I've had numerous discussions with you on this forum and I know you are a practioner of such an ethic unlike many others here, and for that you're to be commended.

Sickofiri, I've already read the report, I was actually sent it by a number of people featured. I know half the academics on it. I don't think it vindicates much if anything extremists like Fred claim. Some essays, such as that by Alamdari are very critical, but well argued. Not the bilious nonsense spewed by Fred and his numerous other multiple personalities of which you may well be one. The essays by Zibakalam and a few others are a little weaker. Farhi, Axeworthy, Katouzian, Ansari, Keshavarzian (excellent),Saeidi,  Kurzman, Tajbakhsh, Ramazani, Bahiriyeh (very good), Ehteshami and Barzegar are all worth reading. Though the compilation only provides a brief snapshot of various developments in Iran over the last 30 years they've done a great job, and the work of such academics couldn't be further from the nonsense which often passes for the comment section here on Iranian.com.

As always, enjoyed reading your piece.  Although I have to agree with some of the comments below in that I do not see much hope in the reform movement.  While I am short on time and can't elaborate now, I personally think that the IRI has put in a very effective system of "checks and balances" to resist any substantial change.  

Keep on writing though, my friend.  I like your writing style, even if I sometimes disagree with the content!

Fred and his many personalities,

Thanks for the input, and I have to say you certainly have got me when you allege a "platitude-ridden write up"! But then again I did write it in about half an hour and you still read it, so...From your ever reliable "Islamist-lefty ally"!

Excellent observation. The whole "reformist vs. harliner" thing is a dog and pony show that is intended for both domestic and foreign consupmtion. Eight years of the Khatami experience showed us that there is really no substance behind it. It's actually IRI's version of the carrot and stick approach. If you submit and don't raise your voice, they'll take the stick away and give you a very small carrot (which they will take away at some later point).

I wouldn't hold my breath for any substantial change in IRI for decades to come.

Reformist views

Your reformist views on Iran and your attempt to give legitimacy to the the illegitimate and vatan foroosh Khatami and his corrupt reformist entourage is futile.

Sadegh, your views are passe, clishe, old and of the past. The winds of time tossed your ideology and views in the garbage dumpster of Iranian history and politics long ago.

Mehrban: Excellent

Mehrban: Excellent observation. In fact, reformers are from the same tyrannical factory but a milder version of the same slsa...lol

They are equally deadly but reformers taste less nasty than other versions.
