We should build a powerful country for our children

I was teaching at the university and I loved my job a lot. Over twenty five years I was teaching and I was happy that I trained a lot of famous people, who are in the high position in other countries and in Iran >>>

Stuck in Bush

Barack Obama has not drawn the right conclusion from his predecessor's failed Iran policy. A paradigm of sticks-and-carrots simply is not going to work in the case of the Islamic Republic. Here, a lesson is readily available, if only the Obama White House were willing to consider Iran's recent history. It is unrealistic to expect that a regime which fought Saddam Hussein's Iraq (then backed by the United States) to a standstill in a bloody eight-year war in the 1980s, unaided by any foreign power, and has for 30 years withstood the consequences of U.S.-imposed economic sanctions will be alarmed by Washington's fresh threats of "crippling sanctions.">>>

کدام «راه راست»؟

پيدايش هر مذهبی (در داخل دين ها) نشان از پيدايش نيايشگاه (بعنوان سازمان مرکزی) و دينکاران (بعنوان کارکنان آن سازمان) دارد و اين مجموعه خود را حاملان و نگاهبانان «راه درست» می دانند، و تا آنجا که زورشان برسد ديگران را وادار می کنند که فراروايت ايشان از «راه راست» را بپذيرند و هرکس هم که نپذيرد «کافر» محسوب می شود و آنکه از روايت سرپيچی کند «مرتد» و، در همه حال، مستوجب عقوبت مرگ. هم اکنون در زندان های ايران کسانی به انتظار مرگ نشسته اند که گناه شان خروج از اسلام و پيوستن به دين مسيحی است!>>>

Safe Haven

The Glass House (Fictionville, 2009) is an amazing movie reveals what goes on at Omid-e-Mehr center in Tehran, Iran. Founded by Marjaneh Halati, Omid-e-Mehr, or “Hope for Kindness”, is a non-profit organization helping disadvantaged young women of Iran to get back on their feet and learn the right skills to independently function in the society. As painful as it may sound, this movie was not about the pain these young women go through, although the story evolves around their problems and challenges>>>

The Manchurian Candidate

A young man with little known accomplishment or track record other than voting no to Iraq war as a jr. senator of Illinois, becomes U.S. president ‘against all odds’. He was supported by the richest in the U.S. and around the world, morally and financially. Was a superstar long before getting elected and a megastar afterwards. He is smart and talented for sure with immense self confidence, 'charisma', and the world's largest known fan club to booth. He inherited a cluster from the little Bush for sure but has spent several trillions of tax dollars and overwhelmingly to key players of Wall Street and Corporate world in an effort 'to revive the U.S economy'>>>

گروگانگیری در ایندولند

سالها قبل، پدرو خیلی از سرودهای انقلابی را با حرارت می خواند و باعث جلب جوانان روستائی به ارتش چریکی تازه تاسیس ما می شد که با دولت مرکزی می جنگیدیم و قصد داشتیم حکومت طرفدار آمریکا را سرنگون و ایندولند رابه بهشتی در آمریکای لاتین و حوزه دریای کارائیب تبدیل کنیم. ما می خواستیم ملت ما "مثل" مردم شوروی در رفاه و آزادی باشند (آن موقع نمی دانستیم که آنها چقدر بدبخت و فلک زده اند). حالا اوضاع کلی فرق کرده است. پدرو دچار فراموشی شده و تا یک سطر از سرودی را می خواند دیگر بقیه را از یاد می برد. وقتی مرادر حال تفکر می بیند، زود می فهمد که نگران آینده انقلاب ایندولند هستم>>>
