pardon moi.....

souri khanoom I was not mockig you, please,I was trying to say  it seems like ONLY french and canadian are the smartest.

I love the level of courage and inteligent our young generation have in Iran,As to some how try to pave the road to free and democratic Iran all and all EMPTY HANDED.Maziar

Bring It On, Nazanin...Bring Your Friends Too!

I told you go to bed; and start dreaming. On one condition, however, I will be more than willing to start a logical debate with you ( your author); which is sending and receiving texts in Persian. I am sure you, as a true Iranian, have no problem with it.

Poor Pathetic Reza :-)

Look at his green hand band, :-) Is he now shouting "zendeh bad Mir Hossein Mousavi too?"

-or, is he still dreaming to use the blood of some Iranians like Sohrab who were shouting "Mir Hossein," to first "topple" the regime by those,  and then hope that Iranians by some magic and  cheer-leadership of DK  would gather in a cafe like Iranian.com and vote him back to power?!

As he goes around begging everyone from AIPAC to US congress and CIA to help installing him like his papa, Iran not only got out of being a lackey that it used to be under his father, gained soverignty over its gas and oil fields, now it is becoming one of the few nuclear capable countries in the world.

Thansk to brave and smart leaders like Ahmadinejad that this clown is making fun of, Iran not only changed the power politics in the Middle East, but is now becoming a de facto nuclear power, and US as expected HAS TO deal with Iran under the leadership of Ahmadinejad.

PERS:

otherwise you would have been like some Afghani woman riding in the back of your husband’s camel in the desert night (today) in this 21st century…

I have to agree with that sentiment. There would be no Azar Nafisi, Shirin Neshat, Forough Farokkhzad, Simin Behbahni, even Jaleho....lol

Ants & Bees...

Makes me wonder as to see to how some people / humans lower themselves to the level of some small insects such as Ants & Bees in order to have a queen / king.

Monarchy is dead (any forms or shapes), snap out of it, it is 21 century not middle ages, you are not Ants or Bees to need a king or queen unless you got a brain that size... 

The only viable way is a Republic of Iran, powered / governed by people...

Do U Know What We R Going Threw In Iran?

dear فغان 

do you know what we are going threw in Iran?  No job, no future, friends jailed, peoples raped, like inside a jail in your own house. But we dont care we need freedom.

I dont care about who has what money or nothing , and how do you know.  You are like the tvs from  govt here that always does propoganda. 

We will support people that stand up for us and it seems like mr. pahlavi is doing  that. 

And I am not an old fart wheelchair persons.  I am in my 20 a part of green movement of Iran.  I have been in the streets.  I dont think you are in touch with young people inside Iran.

Thank you.

Abolzar:

Thanks for letting know your opinion. Oh sorry, I meant : the opinion of the people of Iran!

This is a good software I suggest to you for writing in Farsi with an English keyboard (although being in Iran, you should not have any problem to find a Farsi keyboard)

Please have a look at it. It can help you to write in Farsi and make your writing easier to read for others :

PER66 says: "… all I’m trying to say is you should kiss the hand that brought Iran out of the dark ages and modernized it, , be it this person was a monarchist,....."

Pers66, your comment was not addressed to me, but here is my 2 cents if you don't mind:

Absolute majority of Iranians (of my generation at least) give credit to Shah and Reza Shah for their contributions ...., at the same time they criticize them for their mistakes. In the case of Shah, his own mistakes including his trusting of corrupt aristocrats around him contributed to his demise more than anything else (Watch Ardeshir Zahedi's interview)!

BTW, Pers66, ....., this magase hagheer has no problem kissing the hands of Ann Coulter of our hmvatan monarchists (she is cuter than Ann even). 

Dear Nazanin cc. Uncle Benross

Thanks for your appearance on this boring site. It has certainly brought a breeze of fresh air here; a young lady, fictional or real, as you are should be willing to get to the crux of the social and political matters.

You have to feel free to ask questions and, demand honest and straightforward answers. 

Now that your presence has excited some of Reza & Ashraf Pahlavi's old fart wheelchair-bound agents, let's ask them one simple, legitimate Question; which is: " what is the amount and the source of the wealth of the Pahlavis' ".

Now dear, go to bed and hug your teddy bear; sweet dreams; sweetie.

All we want is a chance to vote

Why you guys that live outside Iran want to decided our type of government?

Dont you not have enough respect for us dying inside Iran to vote for our type of government.  A choice between republic and consitustional monarchy?? 

You guys that live in these democracies are less democratic than us in the streets of Iran.

You guys should be saying we want our country to have the ability to vote for its type of government then its leader.

If you dont agree with that you are not helping Iran. I dont know what I would vote for yet but those against a monarchy should give those for a monarchy a vote.  Majority rule.  

Show unity outside Iran. 

Go ALI P. 

This comment thread is interesting,

The comments on this thread are interesting.  I don't care for language of commnetators like PERS66 to Souri about Iranian women being like Afghan's women if not for Pahlavis.  That was a  very rude comment but I like how pro monarchy people argue that we can have secular democarcy under monarchy.  More than that I like response of the other group on this thread who say why do we even need monarchy?  Just for them to sit around? 

PERS66

Don't worry, I always put on my prescription glasses, I can't read without :)

I don't care if you are a Monarchist or else, I replied to your statement.
If you are born in US (a free land) then I understand why you don't see any difference between having a parliamentary Monarchy and a secular republic. Actually you have never been through what we have seen in our country, then I must say talk is cheap to you.

Still you are smart enough to distinguish that we are living now in the 21th century (Thanks God) and I must teach you something:

In the 21st century, nobody kiss nobody's hand anymore.

PS: I totally agree with you on the modernization of Iran by the two Pahlavis.........but don't think I owe them anything for that. Sorry

Souri

Perhaps you should put on your prescription glasses (eynak) and read my post one more time

I am not a monarchist and don’t have dreams about out it, I was born FREE a US citizen… all I’m trying to say is you should kiss the hand that brought Iran out of the dark ages and modernized it, be it this person was a monarchist, communist, democrat …, otherwise you would have been like some Afghani woman riding in the back of your husband’s camel in the desert night (today) in this 21st century…

Democracy means having the capacity to respect  ALL views Hajji Khanoom !

What is Wrong with some of YOU?

Can't you see the message here ?  RP is saying let's all put away our political preferences and focus on the task at hand - to get rid of the evil republic.    The Green movement blongs to all Iranians of all groups - has nothing to do with Moussavi any more.   And even when people supported Moussavi - it was not support of the man himself it was opposition to Ahmadinejad, Khamenei, and their system.   The Green movement means a movement against the Islamic Republic - and if you hear some mir-Hossein shouts - that is part of the strategy to keep those in jails safe.   Please give Iranians more credit than wanting the IRI with Moussavi or anyone as president.   They already tried that route with Bani Sadr, and Khatami.

'please be resepectful of our compatriats who would like a monarchy.'

I have attended more gatherings and protests than I care to keep count of. Our 'compatriots who would like a monarchy' are by far the most foul mouthed, disrespectful bunch toward anyone whose politics they don't agree with.

'like UK, Spain, Japan, Netherlands ect.'  

Thanks but no thanks. We don't need another moft khor. 

'iranians are not politically mature enough to understand what a
parlimentary monarchy is.'

I'm curios. What exactly makes you qualified to assess an entire nation's political maturity and decide what's good for them? 

exactly Fateh!

Fateh says: "Before democracy though, people of Iran need to be educated."

To that end I have already recommended that his excellency the "freelance journalist" AristoClown whose dedication to monarchism, "high" culture, and profanity is unquestionable,  be put in charge of ministry of guidance (vezArate ershAd) as soon as the "courageous" and imbecile monarchist forces "capture" the power. 

Maziar

What you mean? Are you trying to mock me? I never said the Iranian are not politically mature! This is your pal who said that.

............

they will mature if first they go to france and then montreal..............Maziar

Ali Jan,

I agree with you 100%

Before democracy though, people of Iran need to be educated.

If you ask why, just look at the blogs/responses by people who are supposedly those who have been around democracies; have we learned a damn thing?  No if you ask me.

Iran will eventually get there   But not tomorrow or next year

Real princess / princes ...

I think Reza Pahlavi is intelligent enough to know that  there is no place for monarchy and him as a king wanna be candidate in Iran.  But unfortunately bunch of left overs from his father's era have been trying to massage him into become one.

The monarchy died 30 years ago and was buried by Iranian people then. The left over monarchist are still in deep sleep or better yet to say in deep coma with no chance of recovery.

Time has changed the new generation in Iran do not identify themselves with either Akhond / Islam or Shah / Monarchy.

The young Iranian girls and boys, in the streets of Iran, are our real princess and princes not Reza Pahlavi.

Excuse me?

seannewyork,

You said:

"Iranians are not politically mature enough to understand what a parliamentary monarchy is"

And you are the one who ask me to be respectful to the people?

Believe me Iranian, specially those who live in Iran are more politically mature than me and specially you!

BTW: A Parliamentary Monarchism?? What for? Who gonna be the King? Reza Pahlavi?

Why do we need to afford high expenses to have a king who do nothing, but sit his ass in a castle and spend the country's wealth?

Then you do agree with what I just said that the Monarchist wants only to have a king, no matter what, no matter who, no matter how!
they just want to be around the king and have their part of cake! Isn't it?

Ali Jan

I'm with you 100%.

A secular democracy is the path to Iranian glory....

Believers in Democracy in Iran, (Ali P.'s people) Unite!

I want a secular democracy in Iran.

My people, are those who believe in a secular democracy.

I think it could happen under a constitutional monarchy, or a republic.

I really find the form of the government irrelavant.

If you can guarantee my rights to be protected, whether I am in the minority or majority, whether I am an atheist or Shiite muslim, whether I am heterosexual or homosexual, whether I am rich or poor, whether I am a socialist or an absolute monarchist, whether I rooting for Mousavi, Karrubi, Khatami, Rajavi, or Reza Pahlavi, then, you have my vote.

You can advocate your position, but at the end of the day, would you surrender to the vote of the people, whether you agree with it or not?

If you do, I salute you.

Souri

please be resepectful of our compatriats who would like a monarchy.  i dont think anyone is talking about a monarchy of the past.

like UK, Spain, Japan, Netherlands ect.  A parlimentary monarchy not hokoumat yek nafar.  there is a big difference dont confuse the issue for people

 iranians are not politically mature enough to understand what a parlimentary monarchy is. they think its the propganda that one person runs the place like the shah or velayateh fagih.  I dont think anyone is proposing this so we should be respectful of those people.

thanks mr. pahlavi for getting this dialouge going 

PERS66

You talk about democracy, then you talk about Shah! Democracy is "hokoumat mardom" while Moarchy is "hokoumat yek nafar"

I have nothing against RP being in a list of candidates for presidency, if the people of Iran vote for him.

But forget about the Monarchism and forget about the King and company!

When a system is revolved and replaced by a newer system (like Republic take the place of Monarchism) then the old system can never back. This is a rule scientifically approved.

So, finish with the old dreams. They can never come true :0)

there you have it Kadivar!

... thanks patly to my comments, this article is now among the most discussed, ....., and more importantly your camp is getting some support signals form Iran!  What more could you have asked for?

Pack and and get ready to occupy the position for minister of guidance, information, and profanity (vazire ershAd) under his majesty!

He Has A Green Wristband On!

I am utterly appalled by those fellows who claim to be anti monarchist or, at least having some serious issues with it; and then continue their remarks by admiring RP after watching him on this single video. 

We all have had, depending on our age, 30 years to make up our minds. Should some of us start to change side; just because he has decided to sound like a "nationalist"? We know that he is not. He is only desperate to seize this golden moment of historical opportunity. The problem of his credentials will be haunting him forever; and he is not helping solve it. His political platform has never been pronounced either.

He is his own worst enemy. Why should I care?
