عریضه

سلام بیژن خان خوب، امروز سالگرد پریدن تو به سوی ماه کامل است. آمدهام بر فراز صدایت خم شوم و چند شاخه رؤیای خسته و مجروح، روی ترمهی دلتنگیات بگذارم، - بنفش، به رنگ خودت، رنگ نیلوفر خوابهای بودا-. راستی تو آن روزها که امید، هنوز امید بود، چه رنگی بودی؟... حتماً آن بالا، کنار دریای سیاه چشمهای گیس گلابتون، آنقدر بر سرنوشت‌ات چیره شدهای که دیگر به روزهای تیره فکر نمیکنی.>>>

Welcome home

I was back to my home after many years I was filled with excitement. From the looks of the buildings and construction it looked as though there were certainly more people in the city then before. As I approached the gate to the city I noticed something was weird about my surroundings everyone was frozen, they were not able to move they just stood like ice sculptures frozen in time. I drove through the Main boulevards and realized that this phenomenon was apparent across the city. Everyone was a wax sculpture.>>>

Journey to Tehran

Tehran greeted me on January 3rd, 2007 around 5 am at the Tehran International Airport Mehrabad where courteous but thorough officials waved me through immigration to The Islamic Republic of Iran. The legendary hospitality of the Orient was fully confirmed as a committee, dispatched by the Conference that I was to attend, sent at this inconvenient hour three members to greet me with a beautiful flower arrangement. I went to many Conferences in my lifetime but was never made to feel so welcome or special! This is what I call civilization at its best—especially when one realizes that I am the holder of an American passport that at the present time distinguished me as not an ideal guest.>>>

War against people

The risk of a military attack against people in Iran is imminent. The US administration is adamant about an attack against Iran. The US government is trying to gain support of other states and the public opinion in the US for the attack. The French foreign minister has defended military attack against Iran. They claim war is inevitable if Islamic regime is to be prevented from producing nuclear weapons. On the other hand the Islamic regime is flaring up the fire of war. Both sides have escalated their war propaganda. Economic sanctions against Iran too are adding to the prospect of death and devastation.>>>
