President Obama,
Your Norooz message to Islamic republic leaders is loud and clear. Unfortunately it might not be as effective as you like it to be. You should have been informed that the leaders of the Islamic republic care less about Norooz, and Norooz greetings.
In fact, you should have been informed that the Islamic regime has stated that Norooz must be replaced by an Islamic holiday. The only reason this agenda is not fulfilled is because of the great resistance of the Iranian people.
Mr. President let me ask you,
If the Islamic republic leaders would understand the meaning of Saadi's "The children of Adam are limbs to each other, having been created of one essence." would there be any executions, hanging and stoning in Iran?
Hear it from Saadi as he in the very same poem correctly stated the nature of the regime,
“When by hard fortune one limb is oppressed,
the other limbs cannot remain at rest.
If thou feel not for others' misery,
a son of adam is no name for thee.”
Mr. President
Leaders in the Islamic republic denounce everything that has to do with Iranian origin, as the name suggest it is an Islamic regime which identify itself with the Islamic ideals.
I have full understanding that you do not pursue the happiness of the Iranian people nor do you care about human right violations under this barbaric regime. Your job is to secure American interest and how much you are willing to appease a terrorist regime is for you to decide. When looking to establish a connection with the regime you should use the Islamic path by quoting from Quran during an Islamic holiday.
Mr. President
I would like to suggest that you read the Norooz greeting of President Shimon Peres to the Iranian people. Such message brings us hope in dark times like this and reassures that our struggle is not left unnoticed. As history is our witness Iranians will topple this regime to establish a secular democracy.
Mr. President
At last I like to point out that the people of Iran are called just that. There is no such thing as people of Islamic republic of Iran. The people of Iran will fight for democracy and freedom regardless of your policies. We don’t expect much from you and your administration but we hope that you acquire some basic information about Iran regardless of the agenda you are about to pursue. A good start would be to recognize the fact that Iranian people and the Islamic republic are two different entities.
Respectfully,
Mani Aryamand

by Kaveh Nouraee on Thu Mar 26, 2009 12:09 PM PDTBefore boasting about how you vote, you might want to consider remedial spelling. Start with my last name. It is spelled NOURAEE. Don't try and change the spelling, don't try and phoneticize it. Either spell my last name properly or don't address or refer to me, period. Although I prefer the latter, I also know that people like you have a congentital disablilty that prevents them from shutting up.
Is that something you can comprehend on your own, or do you need to check with someone first to see if it's OK?
Keep slathering your lips with Chap Stick in preparation for planting a big wet one on Carter's wrinkled glutes.
Jimmy Carter left office with an approval rating of 34%, and you laud him as a "great human being".
You trash Republicans as war-mongers, Zionists, and Israeli ass kissers, yet George W. Bush left office with the SAME APPROVAL RATING OF 34%.
Not only are you an ignoramus with spelling problems (what's an umberlla?), statistically speaking, it appears that your opinions suck as well.
1. Obama, Yes Yes, Republicans, No No
by ObamaVoter (not verified) on Thu Mar 26, 2009 11:20 AM PDT2. Carter is a great human being who never kissed Israeli asses. He is the one who has been exposing the crimes of racist, landgrabbing Zionists in Palestine.
3. That's why characters like this Zionist guy named Kaveh Nouraie are mad at him. This Zionist guy's sympathy is always for the Zionists and Israel. He opens his umberlla when it rains in Tel Aviv. He is a male re-incarnation of Zion the Efiteh.

by Kaveh Nouraee on Thu Mar 26, 2009 10:20 AM PDTObama's message was greeted with a big "f-you" by Khamenei. But that clearly went over your head.
Of course no one cares if the IRI is legitimate. Why the hell do you think they have operated with such impunity for the past 30 years?
"Recognized by many countries and international organizations?"
Wow, what an endorsement. Shall we all start fawning? (Never mind. You already seem to be fawning over those bastards.)
Shall I mention that a certain other country west of Iran has been recognized as legitimate by other nations and international organizations as well, or will reminding you only serve to piss you off?
And as for your last paragraph, you have only managed to prove that either you suffer from memory loss or that you really have no idea what the hell you are talking about.
In the 30 years that your precious "velayat -e-f**ked up" has been in business. a Republican has been in the White House for 20 of them. That's 2/3 of the regime's lifetime.
Not once has a Republican president ordered troops into Iran or ordered military action against Iran.
The last (and only) time U.S. troops entered Iran prepared to engage Iranian troops was, let's see....when was that, hmmm... 1980, I believe,..... OH YEAH when JIMMY CARTER WAS PRESIDENT.
You remember him, don't you? Teeth like a horse, farmed peanuts, a miserable and pathetic failure of a president, oh, and I almost forgot, a DEMOCRAT.

Now, the reporter draws hope from a criminal like Shimon Peres who has been part of Israel establishment ever since its founding, and has played a leading role in the start of Israel settlements in the occupied territories and all the associated crimes that have gone with it, such as stealing Palestinians' lands and water resources, destroying Palestinians' farms, and cultural, religious, and historical heritage, making the West Bank a collection of gettos, akin to what the apartheid regime in South Africa did to the black people (which even Ehud Olmert warned against), etc., etc., etc., all against all international laws, and all started by the Labor Government in 1970, of which Peres was a leading figure, until he joined Kadima.

by Daryush on Thu Mar 26, 2009 06:58 AM PDTYou can't speak for the great nation of Iran. You are more in line with people that are from a foreign country than us Iranians. You are what is called an Eyeranian. I bet you don't even speak the language properly. I bet that you don't even know the map of Iran.
Don't talk from us, we have many problems in Iran, but none are the ones that you have mentioned.
So many idiots in the land of free, how the hell that country is still number one in economy (well may be not anymore) it's puzzling me.
Obama, you want to be successful in ME? Remember only one major point, Iranians deserve the highest respect and the Islamic Republic of Iran is not your dummy to punch around. The mistake that the previous governments had made. Our government is perhaps much smarter than your own, so come in with a clear mind that you got to give to gain an ally.

Why do you think anyone at this juncture cares of whether the IRI government is lgit on not?!!! Is the current government of Iran recognized by many countries and international organizations? Let me give you a hint, the answer is yes. Therefore "legitimacy" does not play a role. Baste baba een ghadr joosh nazan, shiret khoshsk misheh.
I can't help it that you consider liberalism and "loving" Obama with distain, but at least with Obama, I'm sure there won't a war between Iran and the US. Do you have a problem with that?!!!

Well, let's see; since the EU would follow the American lead on Iran,that would be out of the question, out are China and Russia for obvious reasons.
Somehow I can't see the beer loving and free internet surfing Americo-Iranians to choose Saudi Arabia as their new base to start a new revolution.

After 30 years a president eloquently addresses both the people of Iran and its leaders to mark the commencement of Norooz and someone with nothing but some irrelevant comment decides to spoil it. Please next time you want to make a point don’t use the Zionist government as an example for Saadi’s remarkable poem for peace; President Perez’ message is a great message not mentioning the recent death toll of 1417 Palestinians killed from December 27, 2008 (2008-12-27) – January 18, 2009, of which the UN estimates 309 were children. Now President Perez “We are certain and hopeful that the darkness and the evil will disappear from the world for the good of all of humanity.[unless of course they’re Palestinian children] ” Until then let’s forget about the misery of the children of “Adam” and concentrate on the insignificant differences which makes President Obama’s address atrocious to people like you.

Good Start?
by Kaveh Nouraee on Wed Mar 25, 2009 11:27 AM PDTGood Start is what Carnation Foods calls their brand of infant formula.
The president's message? It looked like some cheesy video at a dating service. What he was really saying was:
"Hi, I'm Barack. My middle name is Hossein, so you can trust me. I'm a Leo. I like the Chicago Bulls, long walks on the beaches of Hawaii, TelePrompTers, and Taxes. If we click and can re-start our relationship, I can guarantee that I'll forget about every nasty thing you have said and done for the past 30 years. I learned a little Farsi, so when we get really romantic, I'll be sure to whisper sweet Persian nothings in your ear, with an emphasis on the nothing. Give me a call. Remember, my last name is Obama, but when we hook up, you'll be saying 'oh baby' ".
And before you sycophants of Obama start piling on with your "he is the best thing to happen to this country since organic pork" BS, just remember that by referring to the "Islamic Republic" in a message that was meant for the Iranian people, he legitimized a government that operates on the basis of corruption, the inciting of fear, the oppression of basic freedoms applicable to the 21st century, and the persecution of those who do not agree with them to the nth degree.
You can't go around calling yourself liberals who love Obama and at the same time, aplologize for, condone, or accept the words, actions or just the mere presence of the IR.

by Landanneshin (not verified) on Wed Mar 25, 2009 07:18 AM PDTWas the author aware that his letter is addressed to a person who's father was a Moslem? and not from Arabia but from Africa,and like Iran,a land with it's own non-Islamic traditions?
Also, is the author aware that Sheikh Sa'adi was not the ruler of Iran but a great poet and thinker who during his lifetime the most barbaric practices by the rulers against the people was common place, but he did not condemn Islam for it in his works?
You have all the rights in the world to be critical of Islam,or the Islamic Republic, but on the meaning of the Norouz message, please don't quote from a person who has spent all his adult life trying to legitimise the occupation of other peoples land and property and usurping them at all cost. (please read the testimonies of the Israeli military on the orders given to them by their commanders in Gaza) I'd love to hear Mr Peres reciting from Sa'adi on human dignity!
Mr.Obama was just trying to be symbolically nice, please don't spoil it for him. and as some other contributors have already mentioned, the United States has no clean bill on human dignity and had bed fellows such as General Pinochet,Noriega,General Kaoki,just to name a few.
If America has decided to end her long standing Iran bashing now, be certain that it's in her interest to do so and not because the Iranian leaders don't understand Sa'adi or don't like Norouz.
