One of America’s greatest presidents, Franklin D. Roosevelt, recruited a group of advisers from the prestigious Columbia University – they were known as ‘Brain Trust’. In their first one hundred days in office, the Brains Trust helped Roosevelt enact fifteen major laws beneficial to the country. Regrettably, today, Columbia under the leadership of a petty role-model, Lee Bollinger, is losing its prestige and has become a place of hate and discrimination. A noose was found in a lecture room of a black female professor.
America’s intolerable past is re-awakened at this prestigious university because Bollinger demonstrated to the world that under his leadership, Columbia is not a place of learning, truth-seeking and exchange of ideas, but rather where the powerful are permitted to dominate not as a result of their intellectual capabilities, but due to the interest groups that give voice to their authority.
The United States is going through a critical juncture. It is the leadership in the White House that sets the mood for the tragic incident at ‘Jenna 6’ and the audacious people such as Bollinger to surface in the manner in which they did. Throughout America there is a reappearance of nooses because hate-filled ‘God-fearing’ leaders have publicly announced by way of example that attacking those we feel are weaker, disdainful, or inferior, is the acceptable solution. Mr. Bush’s genocide in Iraq, his neglect of the victims of Hurricane Katrina, and Bollinger’s disgraceful treatment of Iran’s president, Mr. Ahmadinejad, the next nation that is the target of Mr. Bush’s genocidal attack are such examples.
So once again, the ugly monster of bigotry that had been dormant is stirred in this country. During the Cold War years, as America was competing with the Soviet Union to win over the ‘hearts and minds’ of the free world, it faced the same monster – The Jim Crow Laws and segregation. How could it brag of democracy, human rights and the American Dream when blacks had no rights? It set out to correct its tarnished image through diplomacy. One has to wonder what will be done in today’s world where the truth is not so easily buried.
While Mr. Bush wages war against ‘evil’ he is inspiring malice at home. Bollinger’s ‘petty’ performance has brought wickedness to Columbia. Thankfully, the students of Columbia are resisting the evil temptation. Surely one must wonder why it is that there is not the same unity to resist the hatred they are brewing towards Islam. Does a Moslem have to have his/her head in a noose before we take action - Is the red, white and blue not solid enough to cover religion?

Short views
by Jahanshah Rashidian on Sat Oct 13, 2007 09:44 AM PDTDear Mr Bahai,
Unfortunately, you went too far by generalising my short comment tackling one single point. I do not refute what you or any patriotic and democrat mentions. Supposedly, the IRI is not the only evil, it dose not solve our problems; there are a number of unfair things that we can add if we were engaged in a general debate. But, I wrote a limited comment only about the IRI’s people abroad. I am sure that about it I am right. Regarding other issues you mentioned, you just past an emotional judgement over me. I oppose to every entity or idea which is injustice, undemocratic, racist, and chauvinist. I hope after the fall of IRI, we have to be pragmatically work out a democratic constitution for our new generation. Moral and politics must render in our democratic country an ethic entity.Now, what else we can do except firstly root out the seeds of ills all together? Should we denounce this moral task or forget the whole thing for the sake of the IRI and its different followers?If we are aware, conscious, but victim of IRI’s atrocity, let’s speak up our it without unnecessary polemics; let’s be more democratic than our heritage of traditions and religiously conditioned behaviour.As I have always mentioned, I am for unconditional democracy without any added title, therefore I believe in political pluralism, even if our society can in the beginning hardly digest it. What concerns the future; I am an Iranian-German simple citizen with no political ambition at all. All I do as a freelance writer, I try to develop the truth about the lack of democracy, Human Rights, and secularism in the world.What I prefer to be tackled by a democratic movement is the following. The IRI must be internationally isolated. In another word, all diplomatic, cultural, and sport contacts with it must be banned. All foreign accounts of IRI’s seniors and their related institutions abroad must be frozen. Their mafia activities in the Persian Gulf and around Iran must be internationally under controlled. International mandates must be issued against IRI’s officials for their crimes against humanity.So, there are many other ways that can be proposed on IRI’s officials, but neither military nor economic sanctions must be accepted. The UN and the Council of Europe should be demanded to approve resolutions putting the IRI and the political Islam on an equal status of fascist, racist, and criminal organisation. Such resolutions are not either beyond the legal competency of these organisations nor the judicial facts. This is an active contribution to elaborating a charter of principles for an IRI’s isolation.
In the meanwhile, such an Iranian democratic movement would try to oppose any military and blind economic sanctions on Iran.

by bahai007 (not verified) on Sat Oct 13, 2007 08:46 AM PDTMr. Rashidian
You would say you represent a typical "opposition" to the IRI government today. Correct? Suppose a change in regime occurs and you and the likes of you take power in Iran. Is this how you are planning to treat those who may oppose your views, and you diagree with their view? If yes, shame on you. If no, why are you calling people names and doing what amounts to "Shaboon Bimokh" techniques to stifle the opposing views? Don't you think your techniques are more like what SAVAK did under the Shah and we all know the rest of the story? Isn't that method what the civilized world dispises? If you were not an educated person ( which I assume you are educated), you may have an excuse, but why you Mr. Rashidian? People can have opposing views and that is perfectly fine. That is what makes the world beautiful and interesting and make it work the best. Look at US today. With the similar stifling of opposition, that once great nation is falling apart!. No wonder Akhonds are firmly in place today in Iran. They see you and the likes of you as their "oppositions", and they say "no chance". I as a petriotic Iranian, who loves and respects every Iranian to his death say "no chance" to you and the likes of you as well.

Who are Pro-IRI?
by Jahanshah Rashidian on Sat Oct 13, 2007 07:14 AM PDTThe IRI spends a high budget for its networks abroad. Plus, it has set up a system of money laundering to finace to hampering the activities and unity of Iranian opposition abroad.
The IRI not only has Islamic centres like Alavi foudations, Taweeds, Mosques… run by bearded / veiled Islmists, but also organises and hires agents, jihadi murderers, lobbyist groups, media networks, and sold intellectuals abroad who tactically should not seem bearded / veiled Islamists—some may look like as extravgent as our coquettish Soraya. These people should achieve the tasks that the first group cannot or should not fulfill, therefore are likely camouflaged.
A typical pro-IRI- group in the West is CASMII to which Soraya and a clique of traitors belong--they are active on this site (Iranin.com).
This IRI’s lobbyist group now abuses the conflict between the West and the IRI to defend the IRI.
For them, the IRI is the safeguard of Iran and represents Iranian people against the “warmongering West”. They unconditionally supports the IRI and regards the Mullahs’ regime the most democratic and popular regime in the Middle East—see Mr. Ommani’s articles on this site.
Their anti-American phobia is politically their only common platform with the Mullahs, regardless of all IRI’s crimes against humanity.
To this group belong the followin categories:
-A number of old Stalinists, Marxist-Leninists who never bothered about human issues or individual democracy.
-Some ex-collaborators of the regime in the first decade of repression with link or sympathy for Tudeh-Party and Fedayeen-Majority.
-Ex-Islamists, Muslims, traditionalists who turned the back on the IRI for any reasons and now can be bought or recruited again.
-Disappointed and unsuccessful Iranian intellectuals, tramps and vagabonds abroad who have nothing to lose except their dignity…
They all flirt for different motives with the IRI or their outsider factions.

During the torture, did they hit you in the head with a bat or with the dick of a big soldier? If it was the latter, did the soldier gave you a "roodeh shoor" afterwards? If you are not familair with that term "roodeh Shoor" it means the soldier touched your bottom with a bar of soap or bar of butter (any type, even margerine would work) and then you know what he would do to your bottom with his dick? Did he do that too? You poor thing. That is what CIA taught SAVAK during Shahansh Aryachees and it used to be done by SAVAK agents to iranian prisonors under the HIM Shahanshah Aryagooz.

Hypocrisy is nothing new for AmeriKKKa
by stop-Bush (not verified) on Sat Oct 13, 2007 02:20 AM PDTwhat you mention isn't even half the story a teeny tiny fraction in fact. During the 60's FBI violated many people's civil rights. Not only that but FBI actually shot people who were opposed to the war in Vietnam, planted agents who got the groups to do stupid things or sell drugs to them so they could be arrested. American soldiers (especially blacks) experimented upon with new biological weapons. FBI killed many black leaders and tried to blackmail Martin Luther King to kill himself. Of course many believed that they succeeded.
CIA developed new super-addictive drugs and sold it to poor inner city school kids financing horrible brutalities in Latin America. Your own SAVAK was trained by the best and bloodiest with brutal track records in Colombia, El Salvador, Chile and Africa. It's no joke. The highly developed scientifically produced methods of torture, violent repression and media manipulation were exported to all US puppet regimes.
If you are interested in a tiny fraction of what went on (and still goes on) in this country read this book called "It DID happen here" by Bud Schultz
//www.ucpress.edu/books/pages/2462.html
Case after case it shows the government brutal attack on free speech and free assembly. It makes this country just like soviet union or communist China. And all this was without the official PATRIOT or wiretapping rights that US Government now has. You can be sure it is still happening.
Just ask the "guest" at Gitmo, 90% of whom have done absolutely nothing. Poor souls have been driven insane by years of psychological and physical torture.
This is America and you have to have the courage to point out reality. Never trust the US government. Never trust any government.

Re: Colonel H
by jamshid on Sat Oct 13, 2007 12:40 AM PDTIt is strange that Soraya who has had the opportunity of knowing Mr. Shafaa turned out to become such an imbecile herself. I have great respect for Mr. Shafa. Have you read his book called "jeaayaat va mokaafaat"? It's truely a great read.
Soraya reminds me of the bankrupt intellectuals who deceived idiots like me to go to the streets and chant slogans against the shah and get beaten up by soldiers while these bastards were selling the country to Khomeini. I SWEAR IF I ONLY KNEW THE TRUTH BACK THEN... I am mad as hell specifically at Soraya's type because her type lied indiscriminately about the Pahlavis and took advantage of the naive youth of those times.
The funny thing is that Khomeini made them all pay! Of course this Soraya seems to be one of those who was eating from the "shah's toobreh" and now from the "IRI's akhor".
There is a word in Farsi... That word is veghaahat... There is a better one too... and that one is ghebaahat... Both words describe this lajan who call herself educated.
My Dear Jamshid,
by Colonel Hemayat (not verified) on Sat Oct 13, 2007 12:11 AM PDTyes, Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich!!! is the step daughter of Shafa, her real father was a corrupted royal army officer who got kicked out of the army and her mama remarried with Shafa, that is why she is so full of hate towards pro-Pahlavis. She also has had a bad nose job and a pair of cheek implants!!
Some one claimed she is a journalist, what her credentials? She has studied in Iran, Uk, France, US, and Australia, and yet she only has one bachelors degree!!!!!! Wow the brain on her!!! Or maybe it means she took summer courses in junior high schools in the above mentioned countries!!!To my opinion , we are at war, true Iranians against the theocratic government in Iran. GW.Bush and his buddies have taken our side, FOR WHATEVER reasons they may have. We have to take advantage of alliance to the maximum. It is that simple, enemy of enemy is my friend, any move, word, action against IRI has my full support, anyone who throws shit at IRI people has my support, I would kiss their hand.I don’t fucking care what GW Bush has done to the US, Americans can deal with him their own way , I have only one objective and that is to free Iran, so short of bombing Iran, I am ok with all the options. Any Iranians who criticizes the US current policy towards IRI is a dumbass and / or a traitor.
Jesus motherfucking Christ, IRI, will be giving up huge parts of the Caspian Sea to Russians next week to get more protections from Russia, that is our sea, our land and they are giving it away, and then we have a Iranian cunt who feels sorry for Ahmadinejad!!
As I said before , it has become fashionable , and trendy, a sign of mental intellect, and a way to make a name for oneself, to be anti-Bush. And Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich falls into this category.And FOAD! Eat shit and die, Pahlavi is alive, H.IM. is deeply worshipped by his people, one day , we will bring his remains to his land and build the greatest monument for H.I.M and his son, Pahlavi III will have a part in Iran’s future whether you like or NOT.And Sara, NO, I don’t talk this way @ home? Got no malice towards my mother, my sister, my wife and daughter, only towards the enemies of IRAN.

by Kaveh Nouraee on Fri Oct 12, 2007 10:32 PM PDTTonya,
You are absolutely correct when you say that neither Americans and Iranians are are should be proud of every moment in our respective histories. You are also correct that there is a tremendous amount of hatred in many posts that you find here, mine among them. Perhaps if you knew from where it stems.
We Iranians have been blessed with so much, yet apprecate very little if any of what we have. All of our natural resources are being exhausted or otherwise taken for granted. The revenue generated by the petroleum industry alone is enough to reinvigorate the economy five times over, yet it is being embezzled right out from under everyone, ensuring that the future of Iran will be darker than her present.
Iranians have a highly educated diaspora as you may know. So many Iranians who live very well. I'm not referring to those who were employed by the monarchy and left with funds obtained under questionable circumstances, but rather the ones who came to the U.S., Canada and Europe. They take full advantage of the economic and academic opportunities these free societies provide, while criticizing the very country that are hosting them and giving them these opportunties in the first place. There was a post from Curtis mentioning living in the US and being able to criticize it as a protection afforded by the constitution, which I absolutely agree that it is. However, defecating in the same place where you eat is not.
We proudly show off our PhDs. MBAs and BMWs. Unfortunately, some people have taken those things for granted. NONE of those things were obtained in Iran. They were obtained either in the US, Canada or Europe. We are here, away from our homeland, our culture, our traditions, our families. We have opportunities here that we will probably NEVER have in Iran. The opportunity has been lost, if it was ever there in the first place. We cannot live in Iran the way we do here. We may be US citizens or permanent residents, but we have to remember that we are still guests here, and sometimes unwelcome ones at that.
Some of these people who have their resumes at the bottom of their posts have multiple degrees, but not one ounce of class.

I think you described us iranians well. In my opinion, the reason may be that over the 36 or so years under the shah, since people were not free to participate in the political process and therefore treated as nothings, they do not know ho to do that when they are free, and many do not understand social responsibility, the way freedom is to be excersized, etc. This article is a good case in point; it provides a point of view that many may share and many others may disagree with. As you can tell, we iranians don't even know how to react to something we may disagree with. Those who are against the views of the author, are treating the author as a worthless piece of ... and some of those who agree with her, are reacting harshly to those as well. This is the gift of shaboon bimokh and the CIA coup det in 1953 to Iranians; sad as it may sound.

But when talk turns to Iran or politics, they become like druggees, insisting on things that aren't there and shoving their opinion down the throat of anyone in their path. They want people to believe patently rediculous things without any proof. Actually the proof is supposed to be that they are Iranian and you are not, so therefore they know better.

by Kaveh Nouraee on Fri Oct 12, 2007 04:46 PM PDTAll kidding aside, your posts, as disagreeable as they are to some (read: many) are usually clearer in both content and context. Your spelling and grammar are sub-par today.
Again, in all seriousness, do you honestly expect any regime change to come about through any peaceful process? The Pahlavi monarchy is more than 28 years in the past, yet you are still applying for the position of judge, jury and executioner (Kholkholi's old job, may he rot in Hell, that miserable, giggling, Arab-loving mutant). The murderous IRI is the issue at hand. This woman is proclaiming her love and support for this outlaw regime with her posts. Additionally, while I certainly will not argue with the fact that U.S. policy leaves a great deal to be desired, acting like a teenage groupie of Ahmadinejad, and treating him with respect while living in the very country that she loathes is hypocrisy in the extreme.
