The arrest of American journalist Roxana Saberi exposes Iran's Achilles heel, a weakness so fatal that it might one day lead to the downfall of the Islamic Republic. Saberi, who has worked as a freelance journalist in Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East for the last six years, has been accused of spying for the United States, a charge that can carry the death penalty if she is convicted. But Saberi's profile hardly fits that of a typical espionage agent. A former beauty queen who held the Miss North Dakota title and was a top-10 finalist in the Miss America pageant, Saberi double majored in French and communication at a small-town college in Minnesota.

Osaad, me and the Mullahs
by Mehdi Mazloom on Sun Apr 12, 2009 10:48 AM PDTAre you kidding?. If you take the Maulllahs (particulary Janati) from me, I will be crying all day. They are a source of good and healthy entertainment.
In regards to FM, there are many Israelis themselves who also raised their eyebrows when he was nominated to FM.
My good man, when it come to "democracy", you would WISH Iran would have the same type of democracy, where no leader is above the law, anyone and every one can run for office, w/o being pre-qualified for his loyalty to the regime. Has Iran been as democratic, today we would not have problem of subversion, and support of terror groups, as we have them today.
Mazloom, do yourself a favor
by Ostaad on Sun Apr 12, 2009 09:54 AM PDTLeave the "akhoondah" to the Iranians and try to do some hol dadan with the ultra right wing, extremist gang of yabu and his racist pig FM. The fact that a "democratic" nation elects such scum in a "free and open" election is a disgrace to all decent Jews.

They need a little push over the cliff, to make sure they are gone and gone for good.
History always repeats itself. No (political, idiological, or relgious) fundemetalist regime had lasted mopre then few decads in power. This regime in Tehran is no different.
Kaveh, as we say in Farsi,

Ajaleh kaareh sheitaan ast. Haste is devil's work.

Just the slow pace with which it happens.
