Sargord

Mr sargord says "What is happening in Iran (poverty, inflation, etc) is not confined there, it is a global phenomenon with local and national characteristics"

Very true Mr. Sargord, but systematic rape , torture , stonings, Financing and sponsoring international Islamic terrorism is confined and blamed to the terrorist theocratic entity that is called the "Islamic republic in Iran".  Nobody trusts a regime that rapes it's own citizens with the same religion, let alone trusting them to have nukes. Do you blame the world and the Iranians(except you) not to trust them?

 And one more thing, you are comparing the student's demonstrations in Iran to student's demonstrations in America? What does gooz have to do with shaghigheh? In America students are demonstratiing against a rise on tution. In Iran on the other hand students demonstrate because they hate the terrorist regime in Iran. You may argue that they also bring up the issue re tuition in Iran but the fact is that those smart students use every opportunity to demonstrate against the terrorist regime. Remember last years demonstrations after the election? Do you think most of those people demonstrated because they liked Mousavi? No, they just used the opportunity to demonstrate against terror and the Islamic republic.

Dear Hamvatans

Think of it this way - if not for people like Sargord here - us Iranians would never find a way to unite.......

I have no idea how to describe the courage of these students - all I know is that the Green is alive and well and at the end of the day it will win - the paradise shall rise again.   There is just something about our culture that always comes on top........don't forget - the war of idealogy is far more important than any physical war. 

Dear Admin

After my earlier comment was "edited" [what's the other word I'm looking for? ;o)] I removed it but please refer to the dictionary link below for the meaning of Shi'ite, it means Shia Moslem. So what is wrong with telling Sargord our self proclimed west coast Basiji that he is indeed full of Shi'ite?! Thanks.

Yes, the IRI is a part of

Yes, the IRI is a part of the global system, and no, the blame can not be pro rated.  The whole lot of them are equally guilty as they are exploiting the blood, sweat and tears of human beings.

This kind of logic sounds like something Farokh Negahdar would say. 

The focus is on Rooze Daneshjoo

Payam

You may have a point. Still, it doesn't look like UoT will be going the way of Cal any time soon.

Sargord

Though I agree with your standpoin on free education, I would have to point out that Iran is also starting to privatize social programs and cutting state subsidies on commodities for the poor. Despite all of Ahmadinejad's rhetoric against capitalism and neoliberalism, his administration has been spearheading the process of privatization and capitalist development. Even Khamenei has stated that privatization of state assets is a priority. Soon they will get to education. Your reference to Reagan is actually correct. It is exactly what Reagan and Thatcher learned from Nixon, Kissinger, and the Chicago Boys and their experimentations in Chile (1973) and the rest of Latin America, that the IRI is utilizing inside Iran. Now, it is important not to shift all the blame on to the IRI since capitalism is a global economic system and that states are simply part of this larger whole. What is happening in Iran (poverty, inflation, etc) is not confined there, it is a global phenomenon with local and national characteristics.

Why even open a

Why even open a conversation with the paid IRI propagandists like Sargord . People like him get paid to spread IRI propaganda, no matter how much he denies it! What else is he going to say?

Oh I am  getting paid by IRI to bring the Iranian people's moral down???

obviously he will never say that as long as he is getting paid by the regime. Once the money stops he will be the first person trying to hunt down the IRI leaders. 

 Just Permanently IGNORE the IRI agents.  What thay say is nothing but a joke. Like the IRI leaders what ever they say just believe the 180 degrees opppsite of it.

That's it? The protests at

That's it?

The protests at UC Berkeley two weeks ago over tuition hikes were MUCH bigger. And there were a number of arrests.

Personally, I think higher education to those that qualify to public universities should be free in the US as they are in the Islamic Republic Of Iran. Then California Governor Reagan was the first to raise tuition costs back in the 1960s. Now it's tens of thousands of dollars per semester.

These are the things Iran brings up and is praised for when human rights are discussed at the UN. 

اتحاد - مبارزه - پیروزی

This is not huge, but is very significant, at the time when the fascist regime is threatening to jail, torture and kill.

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

Brave Iranian student far from silenced on 16th Azar 2010!

منابع خبری نزدیک به مخالفان دولت ایران، امروز ۱۶ آذر (۷ دسامبر) تصاویر و گزارش هایی را از گردهم آیی های اعتراضی دانشجویان در دانشگاه های تهران، امیرکبیر، علم و صنعت در تهران، دانشگاه آزاد قزوین، دانشگاه تبریز، دانشگاه بوعلی همدان و دانشگاه گیلان در رشت منتشر کرده اند.

حضور نیروهای پلیس در خیابان های اطراف دانشگاه های بزرگ تهران "گسترده" توصیف شده است و نصب پرده های برزنتی روی نرده های دانشگاه تهران، مانع از دیده شدن محوطه این دانشگاه است.

تصاویری از دانشگاه بوعلی همدان در اینترنت منتشر شده است که نشان می دهد دانشجویان مخالف دولت، تصاویر کشته شدگان وقایع سال گذشته ایران و نمادهای جنبش اعتراضی موسوم به جنبش سبز را روی صفحه کامپیوترهای این دانشگاه قرار داده اند.

در همین حال از قزوین گزارش می رسد که گروهی از دانشجویان دانشگاه آزاد قزوین در محوطه این دانشگاه تجمع کردند و به خواندن سرود و سر دادن شعار پرداختند. 

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

Courageous, but watch out!

I hope that this movement is not high jacked by hamvataan thugs the same way as in 1978-9. I was 12-13, but remember very well how people blindly trusted every man wearing beard and turban! Not every green has GREEN intentions, specially after gaining POWER:( Lion hearts, none the less :)

I am so glad to see "Free Majid" from the last video: Greens hack Hamedan University computers! People both outside and inside Iran won't forget him and other political prisoners!

Thank you for posting!

completely off the deep end

For intellectuals like Fair and others to argue, or have a dicourse with a maniac like Tahgord is a complete waste of time. He is a hezbollahi troll that roams these sites, and expresses absolute nonsense.
For someone to compare Berkeley to Tehran in any shape or form, he must be totally insane, and put into a mental hospital. This guy is absolutely delusional, and lives in a parallel reality.

Beam me up antari, beam me up!

SARGORD PISS OFF

THESE ARE LIONS OF IRAN.

AND YOU KEEP PANICING AGAIN. SINCE YOU ARE NOT IRANIAN AND YOU CALL YOURSELF AMERICAN, WHAT CAN YOU UNDERSTAND ANYWAY FROM OUR PEOPLE, YOU ARE NOTHING BUT THUG AND IF YOU LIKE SO MUCH THESE MORONS WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN US. YOU ARE NOTHING BUT CYBER THUG. KNOW THAT WE ARE GOING TO REMOVE YOUR BELOVED SATANIC REGIME SOONER THAN YOU COULD IMAGINE.  

Fair Jan,

Chakeram!

Hajminator Jan

Thank you as always for your wise words.  One fragment of a cut fingernail of yours is worth more than a million anti Iran parasites the like of whom we see frequent this site and shamelessly put down the most heroic and impressive Iranians, Iranians who have left the world in awe.  While they gladly ride their motorcycles in the great Satan of course:)

Sargeant Garcia, Colonel Sanders,

or whatever your name is- you are the one who are clueless about the US before 79, or whenever.  Did Nixon ever declare war on the American people?  Did even one protestor ever get charged with the crime of "war with God", let alone get executed for it?  Did the US have an Ansare Hezbollah with license to kill, disappear, and rape American students at will?  Is this what "happenned regularly at UC Berkeley"?  Like I said, KHAR KHODETI.

Fact is, you don't even have a country, let alone a place to cut and run from .  If you had the slightest clue of what you were talking about, you would know that Iranian Americans have huge accomplishments in the US and other countries, and NO thanks to the pedophile rapist mullahs you kiss up to.  But of course, you don't, you call such a shining representative of Iran in the world SHIT.  As such, you are clueless, lacking any identity whatsoever, and subsequently fail miserably (as usual) in even attempting to argue a reasonable parallel between the current murder and rape by the Iranian regime with the US or any other system you would like to change the subject to.

Please send my sympathies to your mother and father for raising someone who understands so little about the countries his parents are from.  It must be very painful for them.

'Khomeini shit out the worst people from Iran'

So your dad! and you as a result: a cyber-IRI-thug afraiding real americans and who is unable to speak farsi! haha!

I came out of Iran after that my bro. gave his life for our country. I had a choice and chose to gooz in your beloved mullah's heads.

There is a world of difference between being anti-war

... and pro-satanic mullahs with their gun machines and dogs killing innocent people.

Here on IC, except few morons everyone is anti-war.

But you in some sense, as you are not against the killing of people by Basijis thugs, you are not anti-war.

p.s. I'm happy that you know at least a persian word, gooz, as it's what describes the best Khamenei the leader.

Haj

That only shows how desperate you are. 

You know, people such as yourselves sometimes make me think Khomeini shit out the worst people from Iran, with many of them landing here in my country. I wish that weren't so. 

Hey, I pointed out the word

Hey, I pointed out the word "gooz" to another IC member that didn't get somebody else's joke here a couple days ago. lol

I'm not a terrorist. I'm antiwar and I advocate US rapprochement toward the Islamic Republic of Iran. That's it, in a nutshell.

But then, that's what any well adjusted person would advocate. Catch my drift? 

Fair Jan,

In their hallucination, cyber-IRI-terrorists even contradict themselves. By parallelism, their saying ... Nixon is a dictator ... means that they also admit that ... Khamenei is a dictator ! Ha ha! Isn't it hilarious?
poor low level IQ cyber-rowers!

Sargord, yeah we are all expatriates here

But, what kind of thing are you?

A) Your mom is american, but you have a terrorist shape in a way that you scare real americans <- they don't want to have a seat near you!

B) Your dad was iranian, and you cannot say a damn farsi word.

I prefer to be banished by mullahs from my country, knowing that I'll go back home (my free land) one near day. But you, can you tell us the same?

Fair

It happened regularly at UC Berkeley during the 60s and 70s. Fixed bayonets, batons, shields, tear gas, the works.

Same slogans, too: revolution, down with pigs (police), Nixon is a dictator, etc..

It's really too bad you "naturalized" folks have no clue of how things were here in the US before '79 or whenever you did the "cut and run" from your home country. It would provide you with a sense of perspective you are so desperately without. 

"less than fifty" bright, strong, brave lions of Iran...

putting their lives on the line, Representing the will of  millions of workers, peasent, teachers, scientists, men and women of Iran, determined to send this fascist islamist dictatorship where they sent it's pre decessor 32 years ago, the trash can of history!

Just watching this video makes me proud of being an Iranian and fills my heart with hope and  love for Iran and it's people and contempt for the enemies of Iran who bark incesently for the islamist regime on this site for the sake of few dollars a sentence.
