OPEN LETTER

What Has Iran Heritage Got to Say Regarding these Programs ?

Your Job is to Defend Culture and Educate Iranians right ?

What have you got to say regarding Iranian TV's Following Programs ?

YOU CALL THIS A DIALOGUE OF CIVILIZATIONS ? OR DIALOGUE OF CULTURES ? 

SHAME ON YOUR SILENCE !

Some of you folks really

Some of you folks really disgust me.

You are so blinded by your hatred for the IRI, that you willingly want to sacrifice your 'beloved' Iranianship in order to shed light on the wrongs committed by IRI.

Grow up intellectual turkeys. IRI is OUR problem. It is for IRANIANs to deal with, and change it from within. Not to get help from outsiders to bring about change of government.

Independent and strong Iran should be the goal for ALL of us. This article speaks to that aspiration, and I thank the submitters for posting it.

Interesting Request...

As an American Citizen with Iranian Friends I would suggest that this board focus on religious freedom for ALL IRANIAN citizens....

Within the USA we do have a tradition of a Constitution that was ratified 230+ years ago... and If I recall history Iran was still a feudal society with a King[shah]....

Now the USA is not perfect and from time to time we elect leaders who are not even worthy to raise animals yet run an entire country but that is the limitations of living in a Democraticly Elected Republic....

I suggest that Iran have another revolution to get rid of the tyrants of their own government before they dictate to others how to micro-manage others...

I still haven't got an answer to this question:

When was the last time "Iran Heritage Organization", "Alliance Organization" and "Persian Gulf Organization" wrote an open letter to the Islamic Republic President or the "Spiritual Leader of the Revolution" and demand that THEY too change their policies for the betterment of the Iranian people and better relations with the West, US etc?

Anyone?

Adab Az Keh Amoukhtee Az Bee Adaban ...

YOU WANT RESPECT BUT DELIVER NONE ! 

Despite that Our government Took Americans Hostages We Still Demand apologies.

Recently American actors and artists went to Iran in a sign of friendship and to reestablish Friendly Relations and cultural ties with our Artists and actors they admire and all Iran's Cultural Minister and leadership finds to say is Demand Excuses for 300 and the Wrestler.

How About making excuses for censoring Niki Karimi's film One Night instead ? Or allowing Marjan Satrapi's Persepolis to be Screened everywhere in the Iranian cinemas and not for a selected few and in censored version ?

WOW What a Great Diplomatic effort as if there were not more important issues to talk about than that ? What about Anthony Quinn's Caravans or Merian C. Coopers Grass which are Emblematic of Iranian and American Friendly ties in Cinema !

Masgareh !

AND tthe world cannot tolerate this ...

Good Letter, But I Am Pessimistic.

I think this is a good and well-intentioned effort that should be supported. That said, I share Abarmard's skepticism about Obama’s administration. I would also recommend my pessimistic op-ed on this site at //iranian.com/main/2009/feb/dangers-ahead in order to interject a dose of reality.

So much for the "mutual respect"

Javad: I think the majority of Iranians agree with you, except the traitors and kissers.
Ron Paul would have been much better for this position than the Zionist Clinton. As Obama said, Iranians will Judge him based on his actions. What Clinton has accused Iran of, is exactly what U.S. ,Israel and British have been doing in the world. She is just trying to take the upper hand. She doesn't seem to be there for peace, rather to create division among Iran and Arabs. History and experience has showed, you can not take these people on their word. That is how they have earned the title "Shaytoneh Bozorh". Just as Israel earned the title "Cancer" recently. They truly deserve them.

You're right MRX1

All those "bikar" people seem to be right here on Iranian.com leaving negative comments on this excellent letter to B.R.

Do you

suppose B.O even bothers reading these kind of letters? he probably gets tons of letters ever day from some organization some where asking for some thing.....adam bikar to in mamlekat ziadeh.....

Thank you for your efforts on behalf of my mother land

As an Iranian American living in this country, my obligation is to ensure that my country lives up to its legal obligations of not interfering in the affairs of my mother land. Its continuous intervention in contravention of international law has placed the Iranian people in further danger of illegal sanctions as well as an attempt to squeeze Iran through arm-twisting to forego its inalienable rights. Its double standards and hypocrisy are as astonishing as before.

When I voted for President Obama I voted on the basis of his promises that he would not follow the same policies as the previous Bush Administration. I voted for a president who believed in respect for internatioanl law and a change in U.S. gun boat diplomacy. Unfortunately, much to my dismay I once again feel that neither our president nor his administration are living up to their promises to the American people. Once again, those of us who expected true change and a promise of a better America feel that we have been fooled by campaign promises simply to get Mr. Obama elected. We were given much lip-service about using dialogue, language of respect and diplomacy to resovle our issues with countries, but the fact is there is absolutely no difference between the policies of the Bush Administration and that of Mr. Obama.

I sincerely hope that your letter will not fall on deaf ears. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Dear Lucky Iranians

When did Iranians officially elect anyone for you to now be questioning a group that acutually cares about a positive cause...

Is that what you declare to be a lucky Iranian? To sit there and be a pessimist about everything and anything any Iranian does, and just make LOL comments to them?

I ask you...What have you done for your country lately? oh and by your country I don't mean the one you live in if outside of Iran and the one you have given up on if inside of Iran... I mean IRAN that can be..

So I suggest, unless you have something positive to contribute, at least don't get in the way of those that do...

Best regards

As an American Iranian, I do

As an American Iranian, I do not care how your organizations are funded and who runs them. I live in the U.S. and expect your organizations instead of writing letters to fight and change the government in Iran.

I learned what freedom is by living in the U.S., so do not expect me to provide any help, do it yourself.

What a timely

and civilised intervention.

I agree completely- (Even with no scholastic achievements I am not gonna  get bogged down on scholars v non scholars as the letter is completely to the point).

Also like the cartoon- nice one. 

Sadly

Obama admin and advisors seem to be selected as the "usual" gang rahter than "change" we could believe in. Hopefully he will try harder to correct the situation. 

This letter rightly mention the concerns of the Iranian position. Thank you. 

Thanks

Thanks for your efforts.

People such as Fred expect others put their neck on the line. Your organizations have taken the initial steps. Thank you.

Sorry folks!

Whatever the effects of writing such open letters, it is encouraging to see some Iran born Americans are fast shedding their belief of that ill judged, foolish,rhetorical and dangerous propaganda by the former US Administration against Iran.

I'm sure the authors of the said letter are well aware that the new US president is no angel. The United States, like any other country, has interests to keep and defend,and conterary to what one of the previous contributors calls "freedom fighting American forces" they don't send their forces to another country to 'protect freedom and democracy'!Had that been the case, Saudi Arabia,Jordan,Egypt and half of Africa and south America would have been invaded years ago instead of being called by washington as 'close allies' It's all about interests.

All that remains is for each country to choose how to protect their interest against the dsigns of the bigger ones; some by becoming a client state to a more powerful one and others by sending a 'Bilakh' sign to the all mighty and powerful. The outcome of neither policy,of course,is certain.

I suspect the best chance for the 'Bilakh' sending countries now is not because a certain Mr.Obama has moved into the white House, no, it's rather because the near collaps of the economies of two foremost interventionist countries, e.g. USA and Britain, plus the fact that bitter and expensive outcome of invading Iraq has left them impotent for sometime to come.

To borrow from the beautiful Persian proverb: "fe'lan tonbuneto bala negahdar, savari pishkeshet"

Respecfully to this so called "Baord of Drirectors"

You state that: "...Mr. President, the Iranian people cannot tolerate any more of such ill-driven policies of the past...".

All very well and good, but why is that you, the Honourable Board of Directors, do not seem equally bothered, or bothered at all for that matter, about the Iranian people having to tolerate and indeed suffer under the policies of the Islamic Republic?

Why is it that these days almost every article on iranian.com from these organizations, that are supposedly acting in the best interests of Iran about the US and how it should change course towards Iran, and not a word about the real problems faced on a daily basis by ordinary Iranians, namely the repressive, incompetent and intolerant regime that rules over them?

You are still banging on about what CIA in 1953, yet nothing about what the Mullahs are doing to the Iranian people in 2009 i.e. NOW!

When was the last time "Iran Heritage Organization", "Alliance Organization" and "Persian Gulf Organization" wrote an open letter to the Islamic Republic president or the "Spiritual Leader of the Revolution" and demand that THEY change their policies for the betterment of the Iranian people?

It’s all America this and America that, and not a peep about the Islamic Republic? WHY?

not sure i agree

that negotiations with a terrorist regime, has any benefit for Iran, the US or the world for that matter.  Pressure must be exerted on this regime, unless two things happen; 1) the iraninans themseleves overthrow this regime, or the freedom fighting American forces remove it by force.  there is no negotiation, dialogue, discussions, diplomacy that will work with this Arab hoard.  they will cling to power even if they have to kill 69 million of the population. 

none scholars keep off

[that we the undersigned scholars would take the opportunity a few key suggestions that we believe when implemented in our rapprochement should mutually benefit both nations:]

Nice going Mr's Scholars. None scholars keep off.

Iran in place of Islamist republic

You say: “Iran has enormous economical challenges, but also the country has enormous external problems with Al Qaeda and many other terrorist organizations attacking it on a daily basis.”

So as a member of the Board of directors of number of internet based organizations that does give awards to CASMII lobbyist for their outstanding articles you are claiming that Al Qaeda is attacking Iran on continuous basis?

Where and when was Al Qaeda's last attack which has been confirmed by independent observers? And what about the Islamist republic’s hosting Ben-ladan’s son for number of years? What about the Islamist republic’s bankrolling and arming terrorist groups around the globe? What about Al-Khobar mass murder where the  execute order originated from the Islamist republic? And why the insistence on using Iran where the aim is the Islamist republic?

Lucky Iranians

Seems like 70 million Iranian people have a lot of self-declared representatives outside Iran to demand this or that on their behalf.

When did they elect all these representatives?
