U.S. federal court threatens Iranian-American heritage
by Arash Hadjialiloo
Tempers between the United States and Iran have flared over Iran’s nuclear program and its alleged intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many have wondered if the two countries would ever find common ground. However, several controversial rulings in the United States federal court have resulted in just that: the United States’ Justice and State Departments have momentarily put aside their differences with Iran in order to protect several thousand Iranian cultural artifacts. The current situation that has Iran and the United States temporarily burying the hatchet is a delicate and controversial issue

STORY
[The writer is 10-years old]
by Jina Falahati
Long, long ago, before time began, before you or I were in the world yet, before your parent’s, parent’s parents were born, in the deep forest Foofoo, in the heart of New Zealand, there was quarrel between the lion, the zebra, the kangaroo, the elephant, and all the other animals in the deep forest Foofoo. It was all about the sun, they didn’t have on. Mind you, they didn’t even know what it was, until the lion declared: “Why can’t I see my beautiful feathers, it’s no good having no light.”

AIRPORT
کاری که آمریکا و انگلیس و اسراییل و فرانسه دارند با کشور من و شما امروز میکنند.
قرار است سوار هواپیما شوید. در نتیجه باید از قسمت بازدید بدنی امنیتی و دستگاههای بمبیاب و فلزیاب فرودگاه رد شوید. همهچیزتان را درمیآورید و در دستگاه اشعه ایکس میگذارید و از زیر دروازهی آهنی فلزیاب رد میشوید. موفقیت آمیز است و چراغ سبز به شما میدهد. ولی یک مامور لباسشخصی از دور یک دفعه میآید و نمیگذارد ماموران عادی امنیت فرودگاه به شما اجازه بدهند بروید به طرف گیتتان. میگوید که این کافی نیست و شما باید ثابت کنید که اسلحه با خودتان ندارید. میگویید: بابا، دستگاه خودتان چک کرد و گفت من هیچ فلزی با خودم ندارم. تو دیگر چه میگویی؟ او اصرار دارد که شما باید لخت شوید و تنها با شورت دوباره از زیر دروازهی فلزیاب رد شوید.

VIEW
A silent majority exists in Iran and beneath that silence lies a deep hatred for this regime
Voting for the Majlis was a pointless exercise and by participating one has cast a vote for this farce, this hoax, this kolah bardaari. The act of voting means that one's vote could contribute to change. The fact that whichever way Iranians vote will have no effect on the situation in Iran means there is no point in voting. There is no such thing as democracy in Iran as the form of political Islam practiced in Iran is inherently a totalitarian belief structure created to control a society through superstition, violence, and brainwashing

WORDS
اگر از جمعیت ایرن جاهلان، جلادان و جاسوسان را کم کنید چندتا جنازه باقی خواهد ماند؟.
جهنم : محلی در آن دنیا خیلی گرم که آدم را شکنجه میدهند و بر گفته ادیان همه آدمهای گناهکار به آنجا میروند. مشکل این است که در این دنیا هم همچنین محلها وجود دارد ولی برای آدمهای
بیگناه و اگر برگفته ادیان هر کس که میرقصد و آواز میخواند گناهکار است و
به جهنم میروند . من ترجیح میدهم برم آنجا که همه آدمهای با حال هستند. جمهوری: حکومتی که در آن همه مردم حق و حقوق برابری دارند. معمولآ بهترین
رژیم است ولی اگر به آن یک صفت اضافه کنند مثل جمهوری اسلامی منظور این
است که همه با هم برابرند ولی مسلمانان برابر ترند و اینجاست که خراب
میشود.
