WISH LIST

Unite Under Ten Demands

A call to unity

06-Jan-2010 (74 comments)
So what is to be done? How do we move forward to help bring about democracy, which everyone seems to want, in Iran. We have to come up with a set of demands that are broad enough to include all the disgruntled factions who want to help the popular yet still largely middle class struggle in Iran. We have to unite or we will not be strong enough against a regime which all agree will not hesitate to have a blood bath to save itself. The ten demands of the five intellectuals should be embraced because they provide the democratic framework within which we can debate the future of our beloved Iran>>>

My personal green movement!

How many of us will return to Iran to be a part of these historic times?

I got an email from a fella Twitter/Facebook warrior the other day, announcing that he had posted his “personal anti IRI demonstration” video on YouTube. Turns out that he and a few of his cyber vigilante friends held demonstrations in the basement of his house in Los Angles which included shouting anti IRI slogans and dancing to a pro green movement rap music followed by burning Khamanie’s posters (faces were blurred for fear of reprisal). As I was watching this so-called private demonstration, I wondered how my fellow Iranians inside Iran feel about this>>>

در تظاهرات حکومتی روز 9 دی، شعارهای دستوری حاکمان عمدتا حول اعدام دور می‌زد. از آن پس نیز همه عوامل رژیم، از کیهان شریعتمداری و تارنماهای وابسته به حاکمیت گرفته تا امامان جمعه و نمایندگان ولی فقیه و تا وزیران کشور و اطلاعات و فرماندهان انتظامی و سپاه و رییس قوه قضاییه و دادستانها و نمایندگان مجلس جمهوری اسلامی ایران پیوسته از شدت عمل و قتل و اعدام سریع زندانیان و اسیران و مخالفان حاکمیت سخن می‌گویند. یک آیت الله (حائری شیرازی) با هیجان و تأیید، اعدام‌های سریع نوجوانان در سال ۱۳۶۰ به دست موسوی تبریزی را به یاد بینندگان تلویزیون ایران می‌آورد >>>

Transition to democracy

Keeping the Green Movement alive

06-Jan-2010 (one comment)
The Islamic Republic is in dire straits, and deservedly so. Years of economic mismanagement (exacerbated by three rounds of UN-imposed sanctions), political repression, rampant corruption, and international adventurism seem to have taken their toll on the regime. A good indication of the regime’s increasing vulnerability to external pressure was the inability of the hardliners to prevent, just a few days ago, massive opposition protests from taking place on the streets of Tehran and other major Iranian cities during the Ashura ceremonies>>>
