Walking through a cemetery in London
Photographs by Jami

The Iranian
These incredibly rich photographs were shot in London's Highgate cemetery
a few months ago. The images of ghostly angels, fallen leaves and lonely
trees are so powerful that they they don't give sadness a chance. They
make you think. They don't glorify death but remind us of the value of
life >>>

* Great disappointment
Kambiz Atabai writes:
Letter to U.S. Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright:
National interest or political expediency overrides any consideration
for propriety and loyalty. However, higher standards are expected from
a super power. For those Iranians who worked hard and served their country
before the 1979 Islamic Revolution, your speech at the American-Iranian
Council came as a great disappointment...
The U.S. government, driven by its own national interest and at the
prodding of the British, decided to assist the Iranian opposition to Premier
Mossadegh who was in clear breach of the Constitution. The role of the
CIA in the uprisings of August 1953 has been greatly exaggerated. Do you
really believe that it is possible with a budget of "one, or perhaps
two, hundred thousand dollars" to have a national uprising and a change
of government? Your assessment of the situation is an expedient rewriting
of history. Many Iranians who played a part in those events find your remarks
objectionable >>>
