IRAN IS A SUPER POWER

Censorship and Freedom of Speech

JJ and other admin,
Freedom of speech/expression is an absolute right in this society.

In your site you pretend to be an advocate of it by saying nothing is scared (what a joke!). Practically you are much worse than Mullahs. They don’t know anything better, you know and with your censorship with no real reason, downgrading yourself to the same level as mullahs!

This is my opinion that 'Ying Yang Paintings' in main page of Iranian.com is a trashy painting, and you don’t have any tolerance to hear it.

Go head again and delete my comment again as you did for past 13 hours.

Now is not the painting anymore it is your action and censorship that portrait you to the same low level as Mullahs.

Daryush I agree ....

The best thing we can do is to do no harm....

People living out side Iran can help Iran by doing the following

1- Educate yourself about Iran

2- Educate people around you

3- Let people in Iran decide and help to inform them about the west i.e USA and Israel.

Please read the following articale

Life is sweet!

we have to look to what brings us together as Iranians ... not to what divides us...

GOD BLESS IRAN...

Aftabeh

No Aftabeh is now made in China

XerXes

I guess not all of us got the Programmer Craig memo!

Yes! Tell us about the memo! And while you are at it, explain who the "us" is who got it? :P

I hardly think it's worth critcizing this post. It speaks for itself. It is interesting to see who shows up here endorsing it, though, isn't it?

Iran's power is in producing 1,000,000 Afatbeh per year...

Plastic ones are lighter than the copper ones. I used to go to our neighborhood's Masjed and shash in the Aftabeh.

PaberahneMostazaaf

Dear PaberahneMostazaaf, i have lived in US long ago. Now I move from India to UAE but live in Iran. At the moment I am in Germany

Hmmm

I agree with some of your comments. Look up the definition of (Imperialism)namely America. "Most commonly it is understood in relation to Empire building, as the forceful extension of a nation's authority by territorial conquest establishing economic and political domination of other nations. In its second meaning the term describes the imperialistic attitude of superiority, subordination and dominion over foreign peoples." The key points being FORCEFULL, ECONOMIC, POLITICAL DOMINATION or other nations, as long as it is in the Imperialist nations interest its justified. HMMM. SOUND LIKE a nation you might know?? I think Mullahs and IRI are garbage and are destroying the nation however, what they have done would seem like Parkeh Shahr compared to what Amrica would do. Keshvaremoon reedeh either way. Id rather it be Irans doing it though.

whats that!?

xerxer
tell us about the memo!

to Anonymous..., if independence means IRI that's good. he is saying that's not the case? did you read the article or just obey the other commenter like a sheep?

you guys sound the same

I bet most of these anonymous are the same people. They certainly sound the same. I guess not all of us got the Programmer Craig memo!

Wow...

April fool has arrived early this year. Wake up and smell the roses, then take a little rest in Evin Prison, and if they ever set up free with or without a limb, then look for a job, and if you can't find one, don't worry, you can always sell your body, legally thru sigheh if you are a young girl, or illegally in any Houziyeh otherwise, to earn a minimum living. And if you are tired and depressed, still do not worry, there are plenty of cheap opium on the market to send you thru roof and maybe into the sky. And if you lose your life, still no worry, as you will be welcomed by 72 virgins in after-life as long as you are with IRI.

Twilight Zone....what a

Twilight Zone....what a moron

how inteligent do you think we are or how manipulative are you!

"Iran is an option for many desprate people who are fed up with the western dominance. They are insulted with the west and see Iran as a minute hope in the darkness of their western regimes."

ya right, the same PABERAHNEHA va Mostazaafha to whom you think you are an action figure cant wait to get out of your claws!
where do you live daryush, how come people like you dont take refuge back in iran??????? Hmmm

Seriously?

Hmmm.... I had thought this was satire when I started reading it. I'm sorry to see it was apparrently menat to be serious. What a world we live in.

You must be 12 years old or something

Your posts are so ridiculous! You sound like you are locked in a room watching IRI channel 1. Your IRI evolutionary stage has taken too long! I remember in 1980 people were saying IRI would last 3 years, and now it has been almost 30. Where do you get these ideas that the west is interested in Iran? Maybe Bush is interested, but thats because he is a war maniac. But other countries are not particularly paying much attention to Iran. They pay attention to human abuses in China but little to Iran. You probably live in Iran! The only reason western countries should be interested in Iran is in prosecuting the assasins of the IRI for the crimes they have committed. Personally, I wish they paid more attention to Iran, including passing arrest warrants for any member of the IRI of the past 30 years.

You are falling for propeganda

This is actually a lie propagated by war mongers in the west. In my trip to Iran I did not see a single jet plane, no troop carriers ( khar keshi), their atomic bomb (when they get it) will be less than the bomb in hirochima (60 years ago). The video of their first spaceship was comical. Now they do have influence in Hezbullah, and the Iranian people fight to the end, but they certainly are not a super power. Despite all the propaganda they are a tolerant and peaceful people and only soosools would think other wise.

Dear jesus

I agree with you. I am all for the backwardness and religious regime to leave our lives for good. If you recall during the Iran-Iraq war we were fighting the regime and the Iraqis. We have been forced to fight different fronts in our recent history. The west knows that the chances for us to win both battles are slim, so they always force a foreign enemy along with internal struggle.

I think we should know who it is that we are dealing with and know our true capabilities, the ones that the west is so afraid of. Then the rest might fall in to place. We need to take steps rahter then trying to jump. We should never be ghafel-geer

I agree

I agree with most of what you say. In my past articles I have tried to make the same points also. We are evolving, not as a regime of IRI, as a society.

Daryush

I have been reading your posts, and I understand completely that you are in one of those camps that looks at IR as an evolultionary stage, and in long term. Again, none of us have the monopoly, or the absolute solution to Iran's problems. This is not a "exact" science problem. Iran's problems are sociological, historical, and philosophical, and there is no black and white solution.
You make a lot of sense, and there are many in your camp that express the same view. I tend to agree with much of what you have said.
However, this does not mean we should not oppose the regime, or give it free pass. This does not mean we should not highlight its egregious human rights record. Many Iranian youth are being hanged, and "political evolution" will not help them. Imagine your brother being executed, and I come an tell you how this regime that is doing it will probably be good for Iran in 60 years. Do you care?

This regime is a criminal regime, and must be wiped off the map of humanity. It should also know that we will continue that work till that is accomplished. Meanwhile, we can discuss its philosophical, and political implications, and how it will shape the future. This government needs to stop executing Iranians right away. That is the only way as an Iranian I will be able to work with it as a "evolutionary" step.

Islamist and their fantasies

Rather than parroting, crudely at that, the Islamist Republic’s line, the bashful Islamists would do well to try to justify their ruler’s loss of the historical Iranian influence in the region.  In the north the loss of Caspian Sea interest, in the west the “renegotiation” of the Algiers Treaty and in the south the flyspeck of newly created sheikdoms’ territorial claims.

Mr. poor dayush

If Iran was not powerful, the west would not bother so much with it. Iran is a mother country to the region. Iran has cultural connection and philosophical advances that match the regional needs. Iran is an option for many desprate people who are fed up with the western dominance. They are insulted with the west and see Iran as a minute hope in the darkness of their western regimes.

This is not a pro IRI message.

The fact that Iran even with this IRI is socially more advance than the rest of the region is undisputable. Since 1906 Iranians have been more involved to solve their dillima than the rest of the region.
The recent repot has shown that Turkish people are more religious and attend mosques than Iranians. They are more religious and feel that their system does not answer their needs. While Turkey will continue her struggle with religion for decades to come, Iran will be all done with it, just like the west is done now!

The west is fully aware that Iran is solving her religious issues the same way that they have. They know the outcome because they have taken the same route before. The much prefer Iranians have a secular pro western givernment. That would be prefarable for many Iranians also, but it's only a short term answer. We are resolving Iranian/middle eastern issues once and for all. We had to have IRI in order to move forward. The west wants this to fails so we won't advance on our own. They want us to copy and always go back to them to solve our regional problems.

Once we don't go to them and be like them in the way that we would go to one another to solve our own problems, the west is out of the region for good. They know that and CAN NOT and to them, WILL NOT allow it to happen. We have to wise up and continue our own path...

Does that answer your question?

Must be done in parallel

I’m all for a powerful Iran and all against the IRI. But these two tasks (i.e. (1) making Iran the most powerful nation in the Mideast and later the world and (2) eliminating or changing IRI) should be done in parallel not sequentially. What the West is trying to push down our throat is that you must first eliminate IRI and then improve your country. The reason for that is that the West doesn’t give a rat’s ass about Iran.

Dear Daryush: Can you define

Dear Daryush: Can you define "powerful"? What criteria are using to measure this "Powerfulness"?
