Insanity, not logic

If Iran dares mount a nuclear attack against Israel, Iran will be committing public, painful, mass suicide. Israel will respond, and the world will not be silent. Jerusalem knows that and, more importantly, so does Tehran. But in Tehran, so we are told from morning to evening, the "crazy" leadership could shuffle the deck. And so Israel is threatening to bomb Tehran before it is too late, making one suspect that it is actually here, in Israel, that lunacy prevails>>>

Israeli Roulette

Should the latest episode of Israeli calls for bombing Iran be taken seriously, or is it – like the many cases prior to it – yet another (politically motivated) false alarm? Like clockwork, Israeli alarm bells have gone off in the past fifteen years with predictable regularity. Bellicose statements by Israeli officials have been followed by alarmist analyses describing military measures as both necessary and inevitable. And then, without any explanation, the bellicosity recedes and Iran and Israel return to their more normal levels of animosity>>>

A Mad Mad World

I don’t know if I should cry or laugh these days. I have cried quite a lot since losing a dear friend so now I want to laugh a bit. Like many Iranians I am also on Facebook. Frankly, there are times when I want to get out for good. It is a waste of time if you think about it. Though at times, it is nice to be in touch with some people otherwise you won’t be communicating with. But the world of cyberspace is clearly a crazy world>>>

اتحاد، مبارزه، پیروزی

ترم اول سال اول دانشکده، حال و هوای جالبی‌ داشت. سالها از جلوی دروازه پر ابهت، نرده‌های سبز و سکو‌های بتنی‌ دانشگاه تهران رد شده بودم؛ و حالا آرزوی راه یافتن به آن تحقق می‌‌یافت. آن زمان رسم بود که حتما یه کیف سیاه سامسونیت می‌‌خریدی، با خودنویس "لامی" و خط کش محاسبه. افسوس که تلاش و ذوق و شوق برای رسیدن به آن مدینه فاضله، از خودش بسیار دلپذیر تر از آب در آمد>>>
