Sandra Nunez writes: I have always been hesitant about putting my feelings in public.Kind of ironic,considering that I am a writer and I love to share my feelings with the entire world!! . But after reading so many love stories in this page, I decided I would give it a try and share,because it’s by sharing that I find joy. I made a promise to myself after reading Khaled Hoseeini’s novel,“A Thousand Splendid Suns”, that I would always follow my heart no matter how hard things on the way may turn, that I would never surrender and do what others want me to do,in other words,I promised myself to be a rebel-forever!

FRIENDS
I like to write. I dream of writing wonderful, amazing fiction, but then reality happens, and it’s more amazing and powerful than fiction. Maybe “truth” as it is simply cannot be overshadowed by “truth” as I imagine it should be. Today I read this story about a young Iranian man. His name is Sina. He is 18 years old, and he was going to be hanged. When he was much younger, he killed a drug dealer, and by Iranian law, he had two options: He could wait to be executed on his 18th birthday or he could extract the forgiveness of the victim’s family and pay them the blood money. The amount was not specified in the story I read, but in Iran, each life has an exact price. Those who are rich enough or have the right connections, might consider justice an attainable ambition.

اگر یک دفعه دیدید نبوی به آمستردام اسبابکشی کرد و در اتاق مهدی جامی نشست، تعجب نکنید
موقعی که داشتم برای تغییر اساسی ساختار و اینترفیس وبسایت رادیو زمانه
فکر و طراحی میکردم، یکی از بزرگترین تاکیدهای مهدی جامی این بود که
طراحی تازه هیچ شباهتی با «روز» نداشته باشد. خیلی روی «روز» حساس بود و
هیچ دلش نمیخواست «زمانه» هیچ ارتباطی با آنها داشته باشد. برای همین هم یک بار سید نبوی پیغام داده بود که حاضر است مجانی برای
زمانه طنز بنویسد تا مردم مجبور نباشد جوکهای بقول او بیمزه و لوس نیک
آهنگ کوثر را در زمانه تحمل کنند. ولی مهدی جامی بخاطر همان فلسفهاش در
جدا نگهداشتن روز از زمانه شدیدا مخالفت کرد. گذشت تا یکی دو ماه پیش که یکدفعه در کمال تعجب سروکلهی سید نبوی در زمانه پیداش شد

Takyeh, in Persian/Arabic may mean a mosque-like place where the mourners gather around to beat themselves during the Imam Hossain’s Aashura anniversary!? As you may know Imam Hossain activities is a very lucrative business in Iran these days. Do you own any of these takyeh places in Iran and if so do you receive proceeds based on what the mullahs make on these places?

CONSPIRACY
We should start looking at ways that we as individuals can take responsibility for our own actions
Honestly, I kind of agree with most but not all conspiracy theories. If we look at recent Persian history, there is now documented evidence that foreigners, especially the British, did in fact meddle badly in our affairs. They overthrew governments, toppled dynasties, and had prime ministers and other high officials assassinated or replaced. In fact, I wish George W. Bush, being a strong ally of British, would have learned a few things from them when it comes to dealing with the Middle East. Incidentally, did you notice that for the first 3 years of the war in Iraq, southern Iraq which, was under the control of British troops, was the quietest area? Accident? I think not.

NEW GENERATION
رادیو زمانه – ببین دات تی وی – ایرانیان دات کام
چند سالیست که در هر گوشه و کنار وقتی پای صحبت با ایرانیان را باز میکنم و در مورد مسایل مربوط به کشورم و
یا بهتر بگم هموطنانم در داخل و جامعه ایرانی در خارج از کشور بحث و گفتگو
اغاز میشه همیشه در یک نقطه ای از این گفتگوها همه چیز به نسل جدید یا
جوان یا بهتر بگم نسل مدرن و پیشرفته ایرانی ختم میشه. در حقیقت همه کم و کاستی نسل قبل از نسل جدید یکدفعه سپرده میشه به نسل امروز ایران حتی در خیلی از موارد معرف
ایران مدرن یا ایرانیان مدرن نیز به دوش این نسل قرار میگیرد و همچنین
قرار این نسل آبروی از دست رفته ما ایرانیان را در همه عرصه ها به ما برگرداند.

Making the Middle East a WMD Free Zone won't ease Iran's appetite for nuclear technology.
According to Joseph Cirincione, director for non-proliferation at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, most weapons programs in the Middle East began in direct response to Israel’s decision to go nuclear in the 1950s and 1960s.
Despite this analysis, I think the calls for a Free Zone in the Middle
East as a way for curbing Iran’s appetite for nuclear technology is
faulty. Iran is not responding to any Israeli threat, but to a US threat.
Israel will never threaten Iran’s territory like it does to other
bordering Arab states.
