POLICY

Back in the Bush

Time for Obama to call his opponents' bluff on Iran

08-Nov-2010 (16 comments)
With Republicans now sharing the burden of governing in the next Congress, President Barack Obama has an opportunity to define the terms of the Iran debate instead of spending two more years capitulating to a Democratic Congress worried about appearing weak or out of sync with hardliners on the Iran issue. For a president who ran on the promise of fighting the "smallness" of Washington's political discourse that is unequipped for the immensity of the challenges America faces, few issues suffer more from that "smallness" than the Iran debate>>>

Anyone who has ever lived in a dictatorship knows what happens if you question the leader. If you question the leader of a dictatorship, whether it is by taking some action or simply having a thought that contradicts the leader’s doctrine, and if they capture you, you will face treatment that is unimaginable. If you question the leader of a dictatorship, you will be imprisoned. If you question the leader of a dictatorship, you will become a political prisoner. As a political prisoner, you will likely face day after day of interrogation and torture>>>

Iranian Regime threatens world with woman’s Death

08-Nov-2010 (one comment)
Throughout the ordeal of human rights activists to clarify Ashtiani’s sentence and attempt to save her life, the Iranian regime authorities have retaliated with denying the facts (E.g. the denial of the stoning sentence for Ashtiani by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other regime authorities). Additionally, the illegal statements made against Ashtiani, the mishandling of her file [E.g. extracting false confessions from Ashtiani and denying lawyers from viewing her file and visiting her], and the arrest of two German journalists, her son and lawyer are urgent reasons why her case requires the full attention of human rights lawyers and activists>>>

POETRY

«هیچ چیز شبیه خودش نیست»

نگاهی به مجموعه شعر «گِل» لیلا فرجامی

08-Nov-2010
شعر لیلا تصویر انسانی است که در باد زاده میشود و پیش میراند- خاموش، سرگردان، در آتش؛ ولی نمیخواهد از باد برهد، میخواهد بر پراکندگی آن چیره شود و آن نیروی عظیم را در واژه بریزد و واژه را آغاز دیگربارۀ زندگانی کند، مسیری که میداند هر بار به گونه ای تکرارخواهد شد - نوشیدن آب گرم از رودخانه هایی که در آتش میسوزند>>>
