WAR

To the interest of the authour who published fake data!!

To the interest of the authour of this post who had no idea about the real casualty of a probable attack against Iran. I guess he can extract correct data from BBC news now and not follow the imaginary data!

Long Live IRAN for Ever.

Interesting link about fake data for starting war against Iran!

It is interesting to hear what Simon Hersh says about the role of Amaneo, US and Israel in convincing other countries to war against Iran:

Syria - Assad's days

Assad’s days are numbered, thanks to a series of actions including international sanctions and condemnations, regional isolation, covert operations (defecting soldiers attacking military and intelligence bases), opposition movement gaining political momentum by being recognized by EU.  At some point direct military action by Western powers will intervene in support of the opposition as Assad’s government will not just walk away as Qaddafi’s government did not go away peacefully. 

What Dr. Mirfetros is recommending will eventually take place in Iran, maybe not tomorrow or six months from now.  But, it will eventually.

Assad will go.   Hammas and Hezbollah (currently financed by the Iranian people’s funds) will become orphans.  Iran will lose  its only regional backer, Syria, and military action will become easier thereafter.

Suggesting smart target selection is not immoral considering what IRI has done to Iran and Iranians during past 33 years. 

The challenge will be for the West to curb and re-align the economic interests of China and Russia in Iran, this is the ultimate challenge.

Regardless of those who disagree with Mr. Mirfetros’ position, the reality he is recommending has already been drawn up and will be implemented in Iran.

For now the focus is on Assad. Mullah’s will be next.

Are you folks actually trying to make sense of Mirfetroos?

Mirfetroos, is beyond our earthly understanding and analysis. You just have to read and appreciate his wisdom without thinking (that's required).
"با افشای طرح ترور سفیر عربستان سعودی و احالهء آن به سازمان ملل متحد، ارائهء گزارش معتدل احمد شهید، گزارشگر ویژهء سازمان ملل متحد دربارهء نقض فاحش و مستمّر حقوق بشر در ایران، گزارش اخیر دبیر کلّ آژانس بین المللی اتمی مبنی بر ماهیّت نظامی فعالیّت های اتمی ایران و... بنظر می رسد که اینک پازل حملهء نظامی به ایران کامل گردیده "
Any reader should know the level of sophistication exhibited by the Doctorate of Honor, in the above paragraph alone as that would make reading further really unecessary.
Key points, in case you guys are too slow to get it:
Because of:
-Assassination plot on a Saudi on U.S soil
-Human rights abuses/violation by Islamic Regime
-Number of people who die in car accidents every year
-The polluted air in many cities in Iran,
U.S/Israel should bomb the fck out of Iran (they are getting killed anyway, Dr. argues, what is a few million more).
The Doctor then fully uses the experience of Iraq and Afghanestan, to show, how another war started by U.S will give Iranian people what they need, and also help U.S. too, with precise economic facts as well as military analysis, not to mention political/social long term short term impact.
Now if that is not strategic thinking, if that is not out of the box approach to problem solving , if that does not show the level of brilliance of the doctor, what else does?

Rashid, I agree with his student.

I totally agree with his student that this guy can not understand the situation and analyse it properly. This is obvious from his statistic figures on dead toll and his analysis and conclusion. I can hear that he just try to convince us that we should agree with war.

Is war the only solution?

I don’t think a war is the only solution to make those criminals less stubborn and less criminals.  They can easily be shaken by an improvement in human rights issues.  We have seen many examples of Iranians who have been shaken, and now they help a movement in abroad.  The question is how/who is willing to fund a change or an improvement in human rights subjects in Iran.

I object that Islamic Republic is among the least liked at abroad.  Perhaps, among those nations that we wish to be loved.  I have several experiences that several nationalities expressed their “like” towards Ahmadinejad and Khameneii including Somali a taxi driver in Minnesota, Russian colleagues.  My response to all was if they were joking.

p.s. I suggest the blog writer to have a natural photo of himself.  The above photo is an activist look photo for his information.  A photo could look like a politician, an artist, an actress and etc. 

"It's not about what we believe. It's more about how we behave and influence." Comments

به کجا ، به چه قیمتی ؟

Doesn't add up

I don't see a sound argument here. The writer is suggesting that he doesn't think that military action against Iran would cause more bloodshed than what we see every year as a result of road accidents. I don't understand the comparison or justification. War would be an ADDITIONAL cause of death and destruction, with wide-ranging political and economic consequences for the entire region.

The brutal theocracy in Iran must go. That is what the majority of Iranians clearly want, in my opinion. And it will be achieved in time, through the regime's own self-destructive policies, and unceasing struggle for freedom and justice by the people themselves. War would postpone that goal for a very long time, perhaps even decades.

At the same time, anti-war activists must realize that if Iran's key installations are bombed one day, it wouldn't be the sole fault of Americans, British or Israelis warmongers. The Islamic Republic is capable of defusing this crisis by a sincere diplomatic effort that would lead to a compromise. But the religious nuts who run the country are not only stubborn, but also provocative. Their nasty, murderous behavior has made the Islamic Republic among the least liked at home and abroad.

عینک خان، چرا

عینک خان، چرا به american university اهانت میکنی‌.  ایشون از american global university دکترا افتخاری گرفته.  با ۲۰ هزار دلار میشه دکترای معمولی‌ از این دانشگاه اینترنتی گرفت ولی‌ ایشون مثینکه پارتیش با پرزیدنت ایرانی‌ این دانشگاه کلفته.  سوال اینه که این وب‌سایت گرامی‌ از این "مقاله" مضحکتر نمی‌تونست رو صفحهٔ اولش چاپ کنه؟

به به از دکتر افتخار میر فطروس

دکتر میرفطروس:"دراین میان، تئوریسین های سابق و لاحق ِ«انقلاب شکوهمند
اسلامی» در «اطاق
های فکر» و با تئوری پردازی ها و تحلیل های ترسناک از «لیبیائی کردن
یاعراقی کردن ایران» ،ضمن تنزّل از «اصلاح طلبی» به «مصلحت
طلبی»، عموماً، در سودای ادامه و استمرار رژیم اسلامی هستند!"
عینک: کاملا صحیح است. (تصور من این است که منظور شما "به حق" و نه "لا حق"
باشد، که البته، نوشته شما مانند دیگر اثرات درخشان شما، به قدری نافذ است
که در محتوی با تغییر "لا" (نه) به  "به" تفاوتی ایجاد نمیکند.   اصلا
اینکه با مشاهده تبلور آزادی و دمکراسی در عراق -- و درجه سعادت مردم ان
کشور که طبق آمار یونسکو حدودا [۱]۱،۴۰۰،۰۰۰۰ پناهنده فقط در ایران دارد که
از قرار معلوم علاقه ای هم به بازگشت به میهن آزاد شده خود ندارند؟! و
تعداد کشته شدگان و معلولین ان هم نامشخص است، و تازه، حکومت آن هم معلوم
نیست پس از نیروهای آمریکایی چه بلایی به سر اقلیت هایی که هنوز فراری نشده
اند خواهد آورد....   واقعا که این تئوریسین های بی شعور که لابد اگر
خواهان بمباران کشورشان نباشند حتما از قماش اصلاح طلب و مصلحت طلب هستند،
که در سودای استمرار رژیم اسلامی هستند کی می خواهند آدم شوند؟   مگر
افغانستان شکوفا شده را نمی بینند؟  مگر نشنیده اند که در لیبی آزاد شده،
صحبت از برقرای قوانین شریعت است؟
دکتر میرفطروس  سپس به آمار مرگ ناشی از آلودگی هوا و تصادفات رانندگی ....
می پردازند  و چنین نتیجه می گیرند که بابا اینها که رفتنی هستند حالا چه
به دلیل آلودگی هوا چه به دلیل بمباران آمریکایی ها و اسراییلی ها؟    که
این خود اوج بینش فرا انسانی ایشان را نشان می دهد.
عینک:  همان گونه که برخی از خوانندگان این مقاله یاد آواری کرده اند،
افرادی که خواهان چنین حملاتی هستند، اکثرا خود در خارج زندگی می کنند که
البته من اطمینان دارم که جناب میرفطروس این حمله هوایی و موشکی را هیچ
گونه ا خود و خانواده دریغ نمی دارد.  به هر صورت، چون نگارنده، از اهل
فامیل و دوست و آشنا بسیار در ایران دارد، که برخی نه به خواسته خود بلکه
به دست روزگار در فاصله چند صد متری پایگاه های نظامی حکومت که در وسط شهر
قرار گرفته  زندگی می کنند، طبعا از خدواند متعال خواهانم که در صورت چنین
حمله ای- خود جناب دکتر و خانواده محترم ایشان هم در نزدیکی یکی از این
اهداف موشک و خمپاره قرار گیرند. 
دکتر میرفطروس با درک سرشار  خود از سرنوشت صدام و شاه و قذافی  که چه
مقاومت کردند و چه فرار را بر قرار ترجیح دادند - در نهایت با ذلت و خواری
از دنیا رفتند، انتظار حمله به سران حکومتی که بسیار از قذافی و صدام هم در
نزد غرب منفور تر شناخته شده اند  را دارد؟   یا مقاومت تا مرگ؟   اینجاست
که تحلیل و پژوهش دقیق دکتر، با برسی کامل نیروی نظامی حکومت اسلامی - چه
از نظر تعداد چه از نظر نیروی تخریبی و چه از نظر قدرت گسترش جنگ توسط
ماهواره های سوریه و حزبالله .... به این نتیجه قطعی می رسد که بلاخره این
تنها راه است،  و بهترین  روش.

اگر تا کنون به تشابهات روشی و تحلیلی دکتری میرفطروس با دکتر دیگری که در
صدر کشور است و مانند دکتر میرفطروس مدرکی معتبر و هوشی تیز و پی نبرده
اید، جا دارد که به جمع هواداران یکی از این دو بپیوندید. نکته جالب در
مورد هر دو دکتر اتخاذ روشی است که در نهایت تنها از طریق یک جنگ تمام عیار
به نتیجه خواهد رسید،  البته نتیجه نهایی آن  کمتر ا ز آن  اهمیت دارد که
ذهن دکترها را به خود مشغول نماید.

The evidence is here

The indisputable evidence that you have presented about the road accidents and the pollution in Iran has convinced me that the Syndicate of Lorry Drivers and the buses of Sherkat Vahed are legitimate military targets.

"Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran"

Is the author referring to the "Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran" tune by senator McCain as the "Hamayate Bidarigh" in his letter to Senator Graham?

I would like to ask you

I would like to ask you similar question. Have you recently lived in Iran? If you could live 6 months and still believe in the same views, I'll accept whatever you say. By the way, no Iranian talks about WAR On Iran! Action against the Islamic regime that is destroying Iran on all aspects, is not acting against Iran!

Bad o Badtar .....

Aghaye Mirfetros,Ba sepas az pajooheshaye shoma, tamam goftar shoma sahih mibashad, Iranian daran rizeh rizeh az beyn miravad ....

What is the choice we have now ?  a mini hiroshima and a mini tchernobyl ?

in my opinion,even a surgical bombing of nuclear plants can cause  a radioactivity desaster !!! generationssss will badly suffer of this silly decision !

and in other hand, nuclear program in hands of crazy mullahs will probabily cause a Tchernobyl with the same consequences on population for decades !

That's why War is not the answer, and dealing with mullahs is not the answer either !! we don't want a Bad o badtar choice anymore !!

BOYCOT IRAN'S REGIME and HELP IRANIANS TO OVERTHROW IT

Just a Question.

Just a Question to whom agree to war on IRAN! Would you ask war on Iran if you were living in IRAN now? Honstly reply to this question to yourself not anyone else.

i think the primary reason

i think the primary reason this poorly written article was featured prominently on i.com was to draw parallel to the heartfelt letter featured earlier by "activists" (//iranian.com/main/2011/nov/mr-obama-help-iranian-people).  now, the pro-regime crowd can put this author and the "activists" in the same bin and make fun of them.  there's a certain lobby group that doesn't like competition and this type of article is ideal fodder for them to make themselves look competent.

the author's cheeky letter to senator graham really cracked me up. after reading his bio on his personal webpage, i even laughed harder.  even with his aggrandizing marketing of himself, he sounds like a failed academician with his highest achievement of an honorary phd from a fake internet university (amrican global university).  kudos to i.com for finding the most ridiculous article against iri.

Only if!

...Syria had oil, it would've been done alreay by now!!!

Arj

You are right and no surgical attack will do anything. Both Israel and USA know it. In 2009 there was an opening to get a Libya thing going. But the mood is not there right now. It does not mean it will never happen.

I think they are focusing on Syria now and not Iran. Before Iran several things need to happen. 

• Libya transition to a stable regime without disintegration.
• Egypt do the same.
• Syrian regime be toppled and follow the other two.

Then people in Iran will take heart. Realize it is possible to topple IRI. Specially if they rise they may count on NATO air cover and support. Ideally the IRI will be toppled by Iranian protesters as was in Libya. NATO would take out the Basiji.

The one major issue is that of separatists which US must disavow. Obama or whoever is president must openly say "USA recognizes international borders and integrity of Iran". That takes away the one card IRI has.

But for now the focus got to be on Syria and its revolution. Plus stabilizing Egypt and Libya. A good result in those three will be a huge boot to opposition in Iran. And a huge setback for IRI and Obama knows it very well.

Let's Learn From "Uncle Ho!"

“The last time the Chinese came, they stayed a thousand years. The French are foreigners. They are weak. Colonialism is dying. The white man is finished in Asia. But if the Chinese stay now, they will never go. As for me, I prefer to sniff French shit for five years than to eat Chinese shit for the rest of my life.”—Hồ Chí Minh, 1946! Iranians are sick and tired of the shi... dictatorship managing their affairs. Infringement of civil rights of Iran's citizenry by the dictatorial regime of the mullahs and their goons has been extended to include the higly regulated Islamic ritual of manually wiping one's ass!

Cost benefit analysis!

People of Syria did not have it nearly as bad as we do (e.g. mandatory hejab/fasting, alcohol ban, public floggings or executions, and Saharia law in general...), yet they took to the streets to defend their democratic rights and so far have sacrificed 3000 lives, and will do more until they get rid of their dictator. Yet, our "activists" wait around to cheer the foreign troops invading our land by providing rationalizations for the probable collateral damges!

Nonetheless, the question one may ask oneself is; will a military attack on Iran automatically solve the problems, or bring IRI down, or at least incapacitate its nuclear capabilities? The answer is; not with any "surgical" aerial attacks (even if done by the U.S. or NATO)! In all likelihood, what it takes to topple IRI militarily, would be a long, hard fought all out war that would dwarf OEF and OIF! Let's not forget that even in Libya, it was the Libyans who fought the street battles on the ground themselves (albeit "by the grace of god and pressure of the market place," as Roger Waters would put it!) rather than waiting around for NATO to fight their war for them!   

To bring down IRR, all options must be on the table including...

targeted military strikes on its command and control and killing machinery.

If the regime supporters choose to form human shields to protect their Rahbar and IRR's operational centers then they would be a legitimate target to go after!

IRR does not speak or understand any language except the language of force. 

The sooner the better!

The same or even worst will

The same or even worst will happen to you if you do these things in Saudi. So why do not you declare war against Saudi? ;)

1) I do not care about Saudi because it is not my nation. Saudi is none of my business. I have no plans to go to Saudi. But I feel for the poor suckers who live there. But it is not my problem.

2) I am not declaring war against anyone. If you read my posts you know I am not for war. My point is that I have no love for IRI. To me it is an occupation regime. It is not Iranian and is not legitimate. It has no more legitimacy to me than a US occupation. 

Long Live Iran

Hope you find it interesting.

the latest product of Iran's 7000 year history

Women have just been banned from going skiing without their husband's presence:

//www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,15520966,00.html?maca=per-rss-per-nachrichten-5894-xml-mrss

Girls under 18 are also banned from skiing resorts from now on. The Police will persecute all who do not adhere to the law from now on.

Congratulations!

I'd rather be with a neocon ANY DAY than an Islamic animal from the women hating cave called the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Do you really think it is wise to take a gun and be off to Evin. What will happen to a person who does that. Is there any chance of victory. I live in the real world not in a fantasy one.

There is nothing offensive about calling a spade what it is. The same goes for a soldier fighting against a tank with 20 times the range of his gun. It is suicidal. There is a difference between bravery and recklessness.

If I did want to break someone out of Evin I probably just bribe the judge. It is a lot more effective and likely to succeed. The idea is to succeed not to be a martyr. At least that is my idea.
