Iran-U.S.
The time is now
A new beginning in Iran-U.S. relations
By Hooshang Amirahmadi
December 22, 2000
The Iranian
Two significant developments have increased Iran's stature in the world,
both of which will directly and positively affect U.S.-Iran relations.
One is the indigenous democratic movement; the other is the emergence of
a proactive Iranian diplomacy. These new developments are rock solid as
they are based on structural changes in the Iranian society and developments
globally. While the ongoing contest over the pace and extent of domestic
reforms is expected to dominate the national agenda in the immediate future,
foreign policy will increasingly assert its significance for the Islamic
Republic. No wonder that President Mohammad Khatami has made "dialogue
among civilizations" and "detente" the cornerstones of his
proactive foreign policy >>>

Not a love story
Merry Christmas, Sandy. Wherever you are

I made up my mind. I was going to do it. The hell with everyone and
everything.
Determined, and completely terrified, I walked inside a phone booth
and started looking at the names and phone numbers written in bold letters.
There were names like "Wild Wendy", "Shelly the She Devil",
"Paula Please", "Kitty Cat", and "Breasty Barbara".
I picked up the phone and dialed the number for "Sandy the Australian
Blond." >>>

Big brown eyes
I wished I could be his mother

The Iranian
One Friday, early in the morning on a cold winter day, I was supposed
to meet one of my friends at a bus station in Gisha. We were going to go
to Darakeh.
I was late, and in a hurry. I paid the taxi driver and ran under the
Gisha overpass towards the bus station. As I was running I saw a little
boy (he might have been about five-years old) coming toward me >>>

The price of change
Can't there be change without violence?
By Najmeh Fakhraie
December 19, 2000
The Iranian
In some Arab tribes when a girl is born, she automatically belongs to
her cousin (pesar amou). Now the problem occurs when the girl's
family moves away to the city for some reason. She goes to school and maybe
even to college, "expands her horizons", meets people she never
could have DREAMED of meeting in the village and maybe even falls in love.
Not good. Because then the cousin finds out and you find two dead bodies
the next day. She's long gone and so is her "true love". Sometimes
she agrees to marry the cousin to save her lover and burns herself on their
wedding night >>>

We were at the tail end of our journey in a hundred-mile-long valley
stretched along Iran-Iraq border. We were not a very good mood. Our driver
, a crossed-eyed man, silent like the valley itself, speaking little Farsi,
preferred driving on the left side of the road, which not only faced oncoming
traffic, but also edged the abyss. Once I asked him if he had learned driving
in England. "No," he grunted, and continued to drive on the left
side.>>>
