I don't want you to get the idea that I'm mad at all. I have no reason to be. The reaction to this video is honestly amusing to me.

Poor Marge can't post in this thread without having a seizure, saying stupid things like that my underwear steams for him. The fact is she's been making so many observations about the guy's physical appearance, and talking about "chelo kabab" that if Sigmund Freud were still alive and analyzing the obvious undertones he'd be experiencing sheer, unadulterated rapture.

I can only wonder if she is secretly "warm for his form". If she is, well, it proves that there really is no accounting for taste.

Her Blue Haired Jaundiced Majesty accuses me of over simplifying matters, yet it's clear that she hasn't given a thought to the possibility that she may be over-complicating things by making such a stink about him.

The Pahlavis were told to "go to Hell", and now people are pissed off because they actually packed their bags and left. How can that not be funny?

As far as what other people may say to you, I have every confidence that you can hold your own quite capably. I've seen you go "toe-to toe" with your detractors. Even though I don't agree with your position sometimes, you've shown that you're consistent, and I respect that, which is a heck of a lot more than I can say for the rest of these indecisive "hezb-e-baad" yo-yos.

Happy Norouz.

P.S.: My little "eidi" to my hamvatan is a bit of advice.

Be careful what you wish for, because it just might turn and bite you in the ass later on.

99 cent whopper

First of all Noroozetan hamegi shoma Iraniaan Peerooz.

99 cent whopper, Thank you for taking the time to advise me on what reality is...
I don't know how old you are, but it seems that you too unfortunately didn't get what I wrote either.

Apologizing to Iran's destiny is a profound metaphor which is understandable in Persian literature...It too, takes a profound individual to comprehend it, maybe you should try it!

My final point is that even out of 98% of those Iranians who you believe voted for I.R., still a huge percentage of them were forced to vote YES by force of unfortunate circumstances on the ground at that time! (Perhaps you were not there or simply were not born or were not old enough to see it and understand it!!!)

Look, I.R. interim government after the Islamic Devolution most probably with the help of CIA had very serious evil plans for Iran and Iranians.

All of a sudden, They shocked Iranian's normal life situations by interrupting the food chain and forcing people to obtain coupons to get even basic food! Then people had to get a "Daftarche Coupon" from local Mosque and or Committee in order to go to local grocery stores and just buy their very basic food needs...

On election day, (ask those who voted, YES or NO) when I personally went to the voting boot in my neighborhood (Gisha, Tehran), I was faced by two Rishoos with Mosalsale J.C. or Kalshnikov next to the voting boot in front of me and my vote, I never forget that moment on that day!!! Furthermore, my "Daftarche Coupon" from masjed would have not been STAMPED and consequently I would have not been able to get food for my family and myself, HAD I NOT VOTED YES (in green color sheet) or NO (in red color sheet) in front of those bastard HEZBOLAHIS with their MACHINE GUNS almost pointed toward me to create TERROR!!!!

What do you think my vote ended up being!!!!
How many more millions of other Iranians like myself faced those unfortunate same circumstances on that horrible day and How did they vote?

NOW, DO YOU UNDERSTAND? Why IRANIANS HAVE TO CONFESS AND APOLOGIZE FIRST?
WE HAVE TO CONFESS AND APOLOGIZE FOR BEING SCARED, FOR NOT FIGHTING FOR OUR RIGHTS, FOR LETTING ALL THOSE THUGS TO TAKE OVER AND OCCUPY OUR MOTHERLAND TO THIS DAY.....

IT'S EASIER TO BE A COWARD AND STILL DENY THE FACTS AFTER SO MANY YEARS AND TRY TO JUSTIFY OUR WEAKNESSES BY HAVING ENDLESS EXCUSES... BELIEVE IT OR NOT MILLIONS OF US INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF IRAN HAVE ALREADY TRIED THAT TO THIS DAY AND YOU CAN SEE THE RESULTS....

HOW HARD IS IT TO JUST ADMIT ,APOLOGIZE AND MOVE ON TOWARD THE TRUTH AND POSITIVITY? HOW HARD REALLY?

ONLY MAYBE THEN IRAN AND HER FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL FORGIVE US... That was my point doostaan...

And for those who still deny the facts, I pray for your souls...

Reza Pahlavi

Daily Star
Washington's likely plans to restore the Iranian monarchy are
foolhardy

//groups.yahoo.com/group/JustPeaceUK/message/...

The United States is planning for "regime change" in Iran, and it may
have already picked the new rulers of that country.
The form of government would be a constitutional monarchy, with the
head of state being Reza Pahlavi, son of the former Shah, Mohammad
Reza Pahlavi, who was deposed in the 1978-79 Islamic revolution.
The Bush administration apparently has a handpicked
American "plumber" ready to go in Iran, much like Ahmed Chalabi in
Iraq. This is Sohrab "Rob" Sobhani, an Iranian-American associated
with the neoconservatives in Washington. With Reza Pahlavi as Shah,
the 40-ish Sobhani would presumably be prime minister or president.
His promoter is American Enterprise Institute Freedom Chair Holder
Michael Ledeen, who has written and lectured obsessively about regime
change in Iran. Ledeen was reported by the Washington Post to be one
of four advisers in regular consultation with White House strategist,
Karl Rove. Ledeen and Sobhani recently established the Coalition for
Democracy in Iran (CDI) to promote this regime change.
Reza Pahlavi had been living quietly in Maryland until Sept. 11, when
he began to address the Iranian community via the internet and
satellite television. This prompted the Iranian community to dub him
the "Internet Prince."
Rob Sobhani, who has known Reza Pahlavi since childhood, was actually
born in Kansas. His doctorate, completed in 1987, dealt with Iranian-
Israeli relations from 1948-88. He became a specialist in energy
policy. He has had his finger in many pies in Washington, including
consultation on the construction of an oil and gas pipeline across
Afghanistan. Well-connected politically, he ran twice for the US
Senate from Maryland as a Republican. Although his heritage is
Iranian, he is far from being an expert on Iranian society, politics
or economics. His move to the Washington area put him in close
contact with his old friend, Reza Pahlavi.
Sobhani's interests in regime change are very clear and very
consonant with American desires. They are largely commercial.
Following his graduation from Georgetown, he became head of a Caspian Energy Consulting, a firm dealing with the transport and sale of Caspian oil. He has had his finger in many pies in Washington, including an active role on the construction of an oil and gas pipeline across Afghanistan. On March 5, 2001 in an article written with Pennsylvania State business professor, Fariborz Ghadar, he advocated a number of the policies that have since been carried out by the US, including containing the Taleban and Saddam Hussein. He also notes that supporting a secularization of Iran would lead to
easier transport of Caspian oil through Iranian territory.
Of equal importance, Sobhani also sees secularization of Iran as
beneficial for Israel. This is not surprising, since Israel and Iran
had excellent ties before the 1978-9 Islamic Revolution. The Iranian
Jewish community is the oldest continuous Jewish community in the
world. The community is as prominent in diaspora as in Iran, with
members in powerful positions in the Israeli government and in
American life, particularly in California. Elimination of the
clerical regime in Iran would eliminate support for Hizbullah. It
might even lead to renewed trade between Tehran and Tel Aviv.
Ledeen, Sobhani and Morris Amitay, former director of the principal
Israeli lobbying group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee
(AIPAC) joined forces at the American Enterprise Institute in a
seminar entitled The Future of Iran, in which they called for regime
change. AIPAC has indicated support for the restoration of Reza
Pahlavi to the throne, although they wish to remain in the
background, as reported by Mark Perelman on May 16 in the New York Jewish Daily Forward. Perelman quotes one AIPAC official as stating that "the Jewish groups are telling Reza that they will give him private support and help arrange meetings with US officials," Since Sept. 11, 2001, Sobhani has appeared widely in the media, urging the US government to support an internal revolution in Iran. His appearances can be seen as growing endorsement of his possible role as a future leader in a post-coup Iran, as his image is honed by the media-savvy Bush administration.

Norooz shaadbaash

Thank you Shaazdeh Pahlavi, happy Norooz to you, your family and ALL Iranians...

I wish you all the very best for the new incoming Iranian year, 2568.

Kaveh

Don't get way too excited about couple of CLASSY responses to my comments. First you have to establish if comments of people like them means anything to me.

News for you is, to me anyone who resorts to name calling and stoops that low in a dialogue represent ignorance and lack of any civilized manors.

How do you deal with those people? you let them drown in their stupidity and ignorance. For if one can not accept other for their opinions, are no better than the goons that rule Iran now.

Hopefully, once and for all you get my point. Remember:

The one who gets mad, loses.

Cheers and Happy nowruz

Anony.111

This may come as a huge surprise to you, but Reza Pahlavi's message was NOT directed at YOU.

Please do not take my Iranian citizenship away lol

get real dude

-YT

Classy Concerned Iranian

are these your words Mr/Ms. classy?

[ The first step toward healing and rebuilding our Motherland IRAN is to
admit to our own initial deadly mistake called Islamic Devolution and
apologize for all the death,pain and anguish resulted from it so far.
We must take responsibility for that!!! Unfortunately, so far not only
too many have not confessed nor apologized, but instead they still
continue their ignorant and deadly attacks in every aspect!!!]

[I also agree that No Iranian owes an apology to Reza Pahlavi, but you
totally misunderstood my point!! You are just making up stories in your
head and I'm not going to get into a stupid online argument and name
calling with you either..].

are these your words or not? Who are you proposing nation of Iran to apologize to? To you Shahies? to who? Seems to me that you are talking from both sides of your mouth and can't recall what you have said earlier.

And thanks for showing your [adab] or lack there of, by calling me names. I have a news for you, you are the one who demonstrated your lack of class by stooping that low in a dialogue. I congratulate you.

What a joke

-YT

Battery Or Nuclear fuel?

Kaveh.

No amount of new batteries will work here LOL.

Honeybunch, I would've called you, but..

alas, it seems you're still far more interested in Reza......oh well, I guess I gotta take my broken heart elsewhere.....

Ps: don't waste your precious time on Mullah Jaleho either. He'd only have you working in the kitchen 24/7, hidden away under a chador.

Are you rich? Call me!

Don't take Kaveh's stereotype about Iranians so seriously. It's just a way to shield Reza Pahlavi from criticism. Here's the logic of King Kaveh: IF we're all crappy people, then we should accept Reza for being one too. Hip hip hooray.

Marge honey

You got waaaayyyy too much time on your hand, gorgeous.

This can only mean you badly need a boyfriend and pronto. Give me a call and I'll see what I can do.

Barack answered all Jay's questions rather convincingly!!!

Got your attention LOL
What a heated debate! How interesting that it wound up being about the love of chelokabab or that all iranian man are legends in our minds! who knew!

Concerned iranian

Let us not talk about the need for seeing a doctor , for what you are proposing is far from reality. How could we appologiz to Iran's destiny? Where is she or he? Aside from the 2% that were smart enough not to vote for the IRI, a lot of those within the 98% majority, were simply fooled into believing that the great time are upon us and voted. So, now is not the time to play the blame game and pointing fingers.

Marge.

you hate this fellow's guts and we get it! But it is very rediculous to reduce him to merely a chelokabab loving guy. Granted, He may not have accomplished anything and is deeply involved in creating a career for himself in self-promtion industry, But at least he's got a couple of books out which is more than i can say about so many of us on this site. Not that i am suggesting that as something that gives his claims any more legitimacy than they may deserve, But at least that is something that he has done and we have not. I agree with Ostaad. He does not owe nothing to nobody, even IF (A BIG FRIGGIN' IF) he lays any serious, effective and pragmatic claims to the future leadership or Throne-ship and whatever ship for that matter, Of Iran.

Kaveh.

Tried and tried so hard to not say anything but could not:) I waited until after Barack's interview with Jay. By the way, what did ya think?
I know you are not too big on correctness, particularly the political kind, But... who told us men what?? when?? we are Legends in our own minds? what ? Ya talking ta me? us? Please at least give using the word "majority" a nice little try every now and then. savab dare:)
Are you trying to use this as an excuse to start a new blog on iranian men?

Kaveh is King

king of over simplification. 

This is not about any other Iranian. It's about Rayza AND the only reason I mentioned his terrible pursuits is to explain their connection to this, another stupid pursuit at self advertisement. And if every iranian does it, then it doesn't matter that I say it about this one :) 

Go change your underwear. The steaming undies for this guy......get over him. if he wants to change the way people react to his bullsh*t, then he has to change his stupid interviews and speeches. or go back to college. or show interest in employment.

It's not that I'm dense

It's that the steam is just sooooooo intoxicating.

Pursuits of self-congratulation and adoration? Show me an Iranian who doesn't do that. We Iranian men are legends in our own minds. We know, for we told us so.

He's done something and it sucked? Or does he suck because he's done nothing? You're sounding like a nagging wife!

Speaking of chelo kabob (to Marge)

Marge says: "He knows nothing about Iran except chello kabob."

and I very much doubt if he knows how to make good/tender kabab-kobideh. I confess I don't know the secret to a good kabab-kobideh myself. Happy nowrouz Marge-e azeez.

Kaveh stop being so dense about it

When we say he has done nothing, that is too vague. He has accomplished nothing except pursuits of self-congratulation and adoration. So that means he has done something and it sucked.

That book of him floating around Europe with his chubby wobbly face with a big IRAN slapped next to it is retarded. He knows nothing about Iran except chello kabob. 

Capt-ayhab !!!

Look, Apparently you don't read properly and neither understand very well!!!

I also agree that No Iranian owes an apology to Reza Pahlavi, but you totally misunderstood my point!! You are just making up stories in your head and I'm not going to get into a stupid online argument and name calling with you either...

But next time before showing your class and making a fool of yourself, you must at least try reading,understanding or simply seek help to understand...

I never wrote Iranian people, you or anybody else must apologize to Reza Pahlavi! I wrote those who made an evil Islamic Devolution must apologize to Iran and her destiny! GOT IT? I think, those who can read and understand properly can also be the judge and decide who really needs mental help here, NOT YOU!!! You have already been disqualified by proving your own poor judgment here... ;-)

Furthermore, I never offended you in any way, but you offended me!!! And that is really brave from you doing so on-line! Bravo...

Hold on a sec

Are you saying you WANT him to be a threat to the current regime? Because the feedback I've been getting is that you would rather he crawl into a hole and die, never to be heard from again.

Personally, I don't know if I would want him to be anything more than what he is now. I don't have anything against him, but on his best day he appears to be a million times more fractional than his father ever was on his worst day.

None of the so-called "movements" can boast having any level of cohesiveness or even just plain strength in numbers to pose any sort of threat or challenge to the mollahs stranglehold of the country right now. It's pathetic.

As far as a gift of Norouz to needy students, I think we can agree that the majority of gifts are always sent by people like us rather than public figures.

captain

You say:

"Vaseye man gondeh g---zi mikoneh o public statement mideh biron."

shoma misheh befarmaeed kee hasteed? Reza Pahlavi yek shakhs-e azad hast. Shayad delesh bekhaad keh public statement bedeh biroon. be shoma cheh marbooteh?

This may come as a huge surprise to you, but Reza Pahlavi's message was NOT directed at YOU. If your ego is offended because he has put out a public statement, why don't you go ahead and put one out too...I guess that'll make you happy and will stop you from attacking this poor guy!

my point

your words[If he's a nobody who has done nothing, then how in the hell can he
possibly be worth getting worked up about? You, I, and even the most
diehard Tehrangelesi knows he poses absolutely zero threat to the
current regime.]

That is my exact point. Why hasn't he? why is he NOT a threat to the regime? why why why???

I , by no means am a Shahi, but with all honesty I have to admit that there are shahi people in this very blog who have done more for the cause of freedom in Iran than he can ever imagine doing in his entire life. He is not even a damn [bloggie] for Gods sake. WHY?

Vaseye man gondeh g---zi mikoneh o public statement mideh biron.

And trust me, there is no animosity except he has the audacity to issue public statements for every photo-op opportunity he gets.
Instead of having an entourage of few dozen moftkhor around him, he should use some of THAT money to sent couple of needy students to school as a gift of Nowruz,  just like many of us do.

-YT

Captain

You and Marge are more than welcome to go ahead and criticize him or anyone else as much as you want. You're still missing the point.

In your own words, he's done nothing. I'm not disputing that.

He has never held public office. He was not, is not, and probably will never be a ruling sovereign. He is by your accounts, a complete nobody.

Fine, let's work with that.

If he's a nobody who has done nothing, then how in the hell can he possibly be worth getting worked up about? You, I, and even the most diehard Tehrangelesi knows he poses absolutely zero threat to the current regime. The nobody who has done nothing leaves a new year's greeting. WHOOP DEE DOO! If you can't stand him, why did you click "play" in the first place?

I can't stand American Idol. So I don't watch it. Simple. Rap and hip-hop music and the whole filthy subculture that goes with it makes me sick. So I don't listen to it on the radio, or allow it to be broadcast or played in my home. End of story.

If you don't like something, just turn it off and move on with life. 

Focus on more important issues, like what are we having for lunch.

Why would I or anyone else compare him to any of those others who gave their lives? If I did that I would be doing exactly what I am calling you and Marge out on: making RP out to be a big deal.

Do you know why akhoonds are brought up in response? To highlight the fact that someone who has been unanimously declared a "nobody who has done nothing" is viewed with an exponentially greater level of animosity and hostility than what is directed at those who are actually hurting Iran and Iranians.

And as far as the battery comment, I'm not apologetic in the least, and I refuse to play "politically correct". Women apparently want to be treated as equals. I gave her equal treatment. If it's acceptable for a woman to suggest that my undies became steamed, then a similarly suggestive response is equally appropriate.

Given that Ahmadinejad is

Given that Ahmadinejad is more educated than Reza Pahlavi, I wonder why Reza Pahlavi has wasted all these years?

Dear "capt_ayhab", Dear "Crush",

Reza Pahlavi is not responsible for his Father´s misdoings. It´s not a family or blood affair, family/clan liability is socially backward.

But it´s a matter of trust and sovereignty. When he doesn´t ask for forgiveness, does he approve the past? And is he able to run a country as a leader of 70+ millions?

Kaveh

Kaveh,

You know despite our fundamental disagreements on many issues I do respect you a lot.

But you are way out of line with that [battery]statement. I am disappointed at you. You are smarter than that dude. >:-|

-YT

my last penny

Problem with some of you guys is that anytime anyone criticized his A-holeness you bring up akhunds. I guess he is only fit to be compared to bunch of crazy loonies who according to yourself have raped the country.

He does in fact deserved to be compared to bunch of criminals, perhaps he might show in better light compared to those goons. Otherwise he will fail miserably If compared to real patriotic Iranians.

I stand corrected Master Kaveh. Compared to crazy, criminals, called akhund he shines like a star. Good for his supporter.
Point of advice, do not ever compare him to a real man who gave their lives for the country, such as Mirza kochick Khan, Bagher Khan, Sattar Khan etc etc etc, he will fail miserably.

cheers dude, I will be looking forward for his 13 bedar message as well.That is all he can do anyways, talk talk and more talk. No action for his a-holeness.

-YT

You know what?

You are entirely too bitter to have a meaningful dialogue with.

Just pick up a fresh set of batteries today and have a happy new year, ok?

And again...

Btw.: It´s true, the Monarchy was better than the IR, but this not a competition for better marks. Both were failures (F and F-).

Yes it IS a competition for better marks, as an A+ leader does not exist except for in our dreams. When was the last time that iran had a sustaining A+ leader, or any other nation for that matter? Were the democratically elected GW or TB A+ leaders that we expect iran with monsters like khamenei, rafsanjani, and ahmadinejad on the loose to have an A+ leader and can he survive for a single day if he existed?

You may see shah vs IRI as F vs F-, but for many iranians within, like those young millions of girls who leave their home every morning, not knowing if they will be kidnapped and raped for nothing but for showing few strands of hair, or holding hands with their fiance' (like the young doctor from Hamadan), it is more like A or A- vs. F-.

And I have news for you: IRI has been trying to locate the billions that you/they claim shah stole to no avail. The only sign of what pahlavis "stole" were court papers when they sued their accountant showing that they lost $7.2 million dollars. A pocket change compared to what mullas have been embezzling for 30 years. So at best, your/IRI claim is an accusation with no proof to justify personal negative attitudes.
