کدام مخاطب در جبههء ملی؟

* فايل صوتی

سال ها است که با نام هائی همچون اديب برومند، هرميداس باوند، کورش زعيم، نعمت آزرم، حسن لباسچی، خسرو قديری، ناصر کاخساز، و فرزاد بستجانی آشنائی دارم؛ برخی شان را از نزديک ديده ام، با برخی از آنها محشور بوده ام، و برخی را از طريق آثار و نوشته هاشان می شناسم. و، پس، يعنی، اکنون بايد همهء اينها را جزو فريب خوردگانی بدانم که، نادانسته، به «راه مصدق» پشت و خيانت کرده اند؟

Drumbeats of war... again!

On September 22nd, 1980 when Saddam's air force bombed all major airports in Iran, including Mehrabad International Airport, I went to the roof of our home in southern Tehran and watched the black smokes rising to the sky, with shock and despair. I never forget the sad and helpless feeling of that moment; my beloved country where I was born and raised was under attack! Suddenly, I remembered all the invasions that Iran (or Persia) had suffered throughout the history and I had learned about in school; the destructions, devastations and bloodshed that would follow.>>>

Iran's al-Qaida dilemma

Political assassinations are a rarity in the Islamic Republic, but Hojjatoleslam Hesham Seimori's murder is further disturbing for Teheran given its potential to provoke sectarianism in the oil-rich province of Khuzestan that is pivotal to the Iranian economy. Since 2005, Khuzestan has experienced a number of bombings of oil infrastructure and government offices, and the political atmosphere has not been this tense since the end of the Iran-Iraq War in 1988. Teheran has accused former Iraqi Ba'athists and Western intelligence agencies as instigating violence here, but never al-Qaida. >>>

The hydra

Legend has it that the Hydra with the body of a serpent and numerous heads, could never be harmed by any weapon, and if any of the other heads were severed another would grow in its place.  Attacking cattle and local villagers, it devoured them with its numerous heads, totally terrorizing the vicinity for many years.  According to legend, Heracles defeated the Hydra.

The eye of the tiger

This year's Cannes International Film Festival mesmerized viewers with a simple black & white animated French produced film by Iranian born Marjane Satrapi entitled Persepolis. Amidst an international selection of heavy weight feature films by such greats as Quentin Tarantino, Wong Kar Wai or Gus Van Sant, an outspoken cosmopolitan duo (Iranian Marjane Satrapi and French Vincent Paronnaud) of first time directors seduced not only the Cannes Jury but also the audience with their astonishing movie, the theme of which, resonated not only with our Post Sept 11th troubled times, but was also a historical reminder of a nation's struggle to survive.>>>

Middle Eastern Super Power

One thing that no one can deny is the powerful international position of Iranian foreign policy makers that has made Iran an “Island of stability” in a very unstable region. While one cannot deny the role of the United States in making Iran a powerhouse in the region, yet the Iranian government has not sat quietly either. Many arguments can rise for the real reason behind the Islamic Republic actions in the world stage and the truth behind the Iranian policy makers to do what they are doing.>>>

We fell behind

We live at a critical juncture of Iran's history and as a nation we are facing critical challenges in foreign and domestic politics. Naturally there is not much room for philosophical contemplation at this time. Nonetheless I decided to take a critical view of one of the great Persian philosophers in order to provide a historical perspective for us as a nation so we can evaluate our strengths and weaknesses and don't become a victim of a naive pride.>>>

The lone song

It was hot in the desert
a heat as sharp as the steel
of my financial defeat.

In the deep end of the bar
with sweats of alcohol
sticking my shirt to the seat >>>

The Bird

The little bird was perched up on the exposed rafter in the garage. A tiny bird it was; perhaps smaller than even a sparrow, with dark grey feathers. At first, we thought it was injured; a broken wing or something. But it would fly from beam to beam if anybody approached it. It would flap its wings and make a chirp, barely audible. Maybe it is abandoned by its mother. Maybe it left the pack for some adventure, a curiosity, perhaps, and got lost.>>>

Meet your Beloved King

I am accepting the role of monarch, and just like Cyrus THE GREAT who wrote his Charter of Human Rights for his blessed subjects, I have prepared my own. I am presenting this Charter of Human Rights to you, so you can elect me as your tyrant... no, shit (that wasn't for you)... beloved king: 1) I announce that I will respect the traditions, customs and religions of the nations of my empire and never let any of my governors and subordinates look down on or insult them until I am alive (I will only let the security service, or personal militia, do all that while pretending to know nothing).>>>
