Siavvash: Hass is not

Siavvash: Hass is not Iranian. He is a infantile rebel against Imperilisam and zionist. He couldn't care less if the entire country of Iran was destroyed if it meant liberation of palestine or defeating the Great Satan. 

"It is the chain of communicat­ion, not the means of production­, that determines a social process."

The sad thing happens to be that many nations helped Iraq with chemicals. Here is a link:

Hass's question

"who was arming Saddam with chemical weapons used to kill over 60,000 Iranians," Hass

It was Soviet Union who armed Saddam Hossaine with Mig13 which was exclusively manufactured in Russia and throwing bombs on Iran cities. Al-Baath party was a socialist party and had a close ties with communist brother party of Soviet Union during 70's. Saddam was prominent polical figure in Al-Baath party who was succesor of Hasan Al Backer. Saddam was making frequently trips to Moscow during 70's. He purchased many arms from USSR. In one of Saddam Maneuver on streets of Baghdad which was reflected on Kayhan newspaper in 1976 it was showing the aircrafts and other military equipments he purchased from Moscow. It was printed on the first page of our daily newspaper "Kayhan". It is common knowledge that Mig was dropping bombs on our people when the war broke out in sept. 1980. I am surprise Hass doesn't know this historical fact.  Immediately our brave Iranian homafars reacted to invasion. They were defending our country with U.S made weapons because shah purchased so many arms from U.S during late 60's and early 70's. He also sent our youths to U.S to be trained about operating those weapons and U.S aircrafts. Saddam miscalculated that our brave homafars were trained in U.S and they were able to defend our country against lizard eater Arabs. In a few weeks he realized what a big mistake he did, so he purposed the "Peace", but Mullahs wanted to take over the Iraq and expand their Islamic empire throughout middle east. Iran state control T.V by mullahs were showing to reach Al-ghodes is from Iraq. Therefore encourage the teenagers to go over the mine field and get killed in order to conquar Iraq and then Ghods. Mullahs didn't want the peace. Saudi made a purposal to mullahs to end the war and Saudi Authourities agreed to payback all the cost of war to Iran, but mullahs had big ambition in their mind and didn't want to end the war. They wanted to export their Islamic revolution. That was the time Ramsfiled had a meeting with Saddam to prevent Mullah's ambitiion to take over Iraq. That was our shah's smart vision who was able to see the future and purchased all those weapons and aircrafts from U.S and sent our youths to learn how to operate those aircraft in America. God bless his soul.

Payandeh Iran 

Anonymous Observer,

Payback is indeed a bitch - but lets remember who was arming Saddam with chemical weapons used to kill over 60,000 Iranians, amongst a tall list of other things. It was your beloved US, same one you're so busy kissing up to.

Thanks for the info..

..I'm going to watch the inteview now, thanks. Have you written to this Nima? Surely you want him to put the pen down and play instead at this point?

Indeed. These puppets of stinky mullahs can not do anything about it. Yep. Soon they will get overthrown to the dumpster of history where they belong to.

That's right Hass

The United States does not have a program against Saudi Arabia, but it has one against the IR.  It also has plans to come in and kick akhoonds' behinds out of Iran and to put an end to their miserable existence.  And there is absolutely nothing that you or any other West residing two bit IR supporting malijak can do about it.  I guess the only thing left for you to do is to bang your head against the wall, post links or invade an embassy, or do all three.  

PS- if you're too stupid to realize it--or if you have blinders on--Saudi Arabia hasn't been burning American flags, invading U.S. embassies, taking Americans hostage, chanting "death to America," blowing up U.S. Marine bases, etc. for the past 32 years.  The IR has.  Payback is a bitch, and the IR will be paid back properly, trust me! 

Bahmani is a funny Joker

So Bahmani thinks the reason why there is no VOA-approved equivalent of Parazit for Saudi Arabia is  becayse the Saudi Arabians are just too happy with the regime

Please read my reply.

Mr. Bahmani; Please look again at my reply.  I was one of 99.9%.

I agree about our millionaire community to fund programs such as Parazit.  I said this in my early reply also.  What was gained by going around the earth few times?!

USA court system has illegally given Iranian money in hundreds of millions of dollars to people who our people had nothing to do with them…. Not appearing in US courts caused Iranian hard earned money to disappear. 

Reply to Dr. Ala: Iran had a choice to be honorable

The single most damaging act to Iran's national and international reputation has been the hostage taking.

Iran could have sent the Americans home and sued for the Shah and his assets in the world court like a civilized country.

And, before you say that this would have been tied up for years and stalled and so on and start to justify the hostage taking to shorten the process, be careful because that logic cuts both ways. Meaning that just as it may have made sense not to follow world court law by Iran, so it was reasonable to assume the US would NEVER adhere to ANY agreement it was forced to sign by lowly scum hostage takers smiling smugly during the negotiations with the Algerians.

Failure to recognize the ugliest act by Iran is where we are in this debate. I f you think it is EVER OK for Iranians to act in an ugly way, regardless of what ugliness is done to them, that is where you and I disagree.

To quote Gandhi, "An eye for an eye makes the world go blind."

We can be Iranian and still be honorable. But when we choose to be dishonorable, even in the face of great injustice, we lose much more than our dignity. We lose our entire soul as a people.

One could say that the failure of Iranians to stand up for their rights, and to fight for their dignity against this oppressive government is a result of this deep wound to our national psyche. Since the Iranian people have been taught that they are nothing more than opportunists waiting for that chance to take advantage and get away with the ultimate perfect screw job.

I may be deluded, but I cannot accept that Iranians are ever justified to take hostages. No amount of any Shah's wealth is worth that.

Reply to: HASS: deny MOST Saudis don't protest?

Since you think it's funny but didn't prove your comment, I'll say it again clearer. Compared to the trademark "Arab Spring" protests we have become used to vis a vis, Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, (and yes Bahrain) where hundreds of thousands and in Iran's 2009 case too, poured into the streets, SA is relatively calm.

My whole point is that this calm is why you don't see a PARAZIT equivalent for SA.

If things change as you have outlined they may well be simmering to a boil, but until they do, and when tat happens and a PARAZIT for SA appears, it only proves my point and justification for why it is OK for PARAZIT to be backed by the VOA.

The alternative though is probably as you and many other Iranians I have come to recognize, want it. You seem to prefer to cock-block PARAZIT, but still want to have the criticisms against the government, just not from VOA.

Which is naive and an easy cop out. It is naive because without the support of the VOA, a show like PARAZIT is impossible. A cop out because by cock-blocking the show, you can conveniently excuse and feign your inability to formally and loudly object to the failures and flaws of the Iranian government.

At some point, Iranians are going to have to accept that getting what you want and deserve in life is difficult and you cannot escape the hard work required to object or oppose evil, and oppression.

The saddest of all is that with all of this talent for objection that we have among us all, the millionaires among us, think that their flights into outer space are inspiring us to greatness, when in fact for just the space-fare spent would have sponsored many shows like PARAZIT, and more.

Thanks for the comment. But your suggestion that there is any such significant "Saudi Arabian Opposition" is an utter oxymoron at this time in history, and an invalid comparison to Iran's need for a critical satirical political commentary comedy TV show.

BAHMAN: "most of the Saudi

BAHMAN: "most of the Saudi people are therefore currently OK with their government as is"

LOLLLLLL!!!!!! 

You're such a funny joker in making excuses for the VOA/Parazit propaganda agency.

//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Saudi_Arabian_pr...

PS: I bet you think most Bahrainis are happy with their government too? 

"just war" doctorine

When one gets emotional, objectivity is lost.  99.9% of Iranians had nothing to do with hostage crisis and wanted to end it as soon as possible.  As a person who suffered from it while studying in the USA, I can contend that both sides benefited from the ordeal. 

There are plenty of materials to read on international law and it goes like this… if an agreement is conducted in “good faith” ...and both sides have lawyers... it is fully enforceable.

There is also a doctrine called “just war,” which boils down to which side violated international law first… it can be argued that Iran’s action was retaliation.  The UK and USA violated international laws against Iran in several occasions before Alger Accord.  Therefore the treaty is defensible and can be enforced.

LOL about Saudi people are happy... //www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOOrmc5mOho

Interesting

The first time I've been able to understand what Parazits are saying, thx to English translation. 

Al Jazeera is good in it's own ways. When one knows the agenda behind, one appreciates the news behind.

Great Analysis Bahmani!

Thanks!

Where are NIAC and CASMI??

PARAZIT for Israel? or Saudi Arabia?

The reason there is no PARAZIT for Israel is that Israelis are free to criticize their government. And do. There is no need for the VOA to sponsor such a program. The VOA would not have an audience for it.

The reason there is no PARAZIT for Saudi Arabia is that to a large extent, apparently, based on the complete lack if Arab Spring -style demonstrations and any opposition movement to speak of, most of the Saudi people are therefore currently OK with their government as is. Since that is the case, there is no large audience for a Saudi Arabian PARAZIT either.

If there were Israeli Arbabis and Hosseinis, with millions of followers, there would be a PARAZIT for Israel.

If there were Saudi Arbabis and Hosseinis, with millions of followers, there would be a PARAZIT for Saudi Arabia.

Your argument though, has nothing to do with the FACT that there are millions of followers and in fact millions of Arbabis and Hosseinis, and this is why there is a PARAZIT for Iran. Because PARAZIT Broadcast by Iranians would be stifled and (literally) choked anywhere else, is why the VOA broadcasts it.

Someone has to. If no one can, or is too afraid to, then it is great, comforting and logical that the VOA will.

You can harp all you want about motives, tactics, sneaky plans and ulteriors, but in the end, if Iran was a democracy and free, and focused on it's own affairs, bettering it's own people, economy, and standing in the world, and spreading that, instead of obsolete worker class theatrically hypnotic Arabic Poetry, I doubt we would be having this paranoid schizophrenic one-sided discussion about the motives of the US.

RE: Algiers Accord

While it is true that the US signed the Algiers Accord, the honoring of such a document in the face of the greater higher dishonorable conditions of holding 52 hostages to secure such an agreement is justified. Morally, and especially Islamically.

Islam allows you to lie and cheat if necessary to get your way, if your way is right. In the AA, the US was in fact acting more like good moslems than Iran was.

To hold 52 Americans hostage and then trade them insultingly like chattel for mere money, (Iranian assets that were frozen in response to the hostage taking, and then asking for the Shah's money as well.) is the height of low, cowardly, and dishonorable behavior that is neither Iranian, nor human.

The greater label that has befallen Iran and smeared Iranians, as sneaky, back stabbing, conniving thieves and cowards that only throw barbs always from the safety of a haven and are afraid to stand and fight in the open and let their principles shield them from injustice, is the greater cost of this act of taking 52 hostages.

In the face of this kind of cowardice, the US was in my opinion justified in signing the agreement to free the hostages, and once freed, proceed to immediately violate the terms of such an agreement signed under these cowardly conditions.

To expect the US to play fair as a result of Iran not playing fair, is the height of hypocrisy and exemplified in the past 32 years of similar continued ridiculous and highly arrogant behaviors that has all but eliminated the true concept of what it means to be an Iranian, from the vast cooling to a frozen state soul of our country.

To defend Iran now, after all of the destructive acts we cannot begin to number, is the height of ignorance and a perfect example of the what the goals of this government is, and has been from the beginning. Which is to re-set the social order and concept of norms and national pride, from being an honored active member of the world civilization, culture and humanity, to being a timid, fearful, obedient hated slave to what is merely the latest in a long line and series of pagan idol worshipry, and witchcraft, modified and adjusted to look like a cool Elvis version of "Modern Islam".

There is a reason why Mollahs look like warlocks. We had all better start recognizing this, and object collectively before it is too late and we are all washed into this variation of a obvious islamic-marxist ploy that is being placed into position. with fast hardening cement.

If this happens, even if God exists, he can't help us.

Aljazeera is funded by whom ?!

If saying reality about what is hapenning in Iran is Propaganda, I'm fine with Propaganda.

I would ask Stream guy who paid his check and what is relationship between his Boss's country and Iran ? Is his questions come from Sheikh ?

The 1955 Treaty of Amity and the Alger Accord

VOA violates the Alger Accord that the USA signed.

Several members compared VOA with PressTV.  I do not watch PressTV nor follow VOA.  However, one easily can observe that their functions are totally different.

The US signed the Alger Accord.  But it has violated the agreement from day one.  In 1980, under the Carter administration, the United States began clandestine radio broadcasts into Iran from Egypt, at a cost of some $20-30,000 per month. The broadcasts called for Khomeini's overthrow and urged support for Bakhtiar. This continued.  Starting in 1982 the CIA provided $100,000 a month to a group in Paris called the Front for the Liberation of Iran. The US also provided support to two Iranian paramilitary groups based in Turkey, one of them headed by General Bahram Aryana, the Shah's army chief with close ties to Bakhtiar while also transmitting messages from the Shah's son indicating "he would return" (Stephen Shalom citing Leslie H. Gelb, "US Said to Aid Iranian Exiles in Combat and Political Units," New York Times, 7 Mar. 1982, pp. A1, A12; and Tower Commission, p. 398; Farhang, "Iran-Israel Connection," p. 95.). 

What is more important is that a more powerful Agreement exists between the two countries:  The 1955 Treaty of Amity.   I suggest you look it up. 

Morons

Only a moron would think that VOA is not propaganda, intended to overthrow the IRI. Do you think that it is accidental that there is no equivalent of "Parazit" for Saudi Arabia or Israel? Do you think it is accidental that the US Congress, when allocating funds for VOA, regularly discusses its effect on overthrowing the IRI?

hirre

that somebody is called Imam Zaman.

People are crazy

Either way we look at this, people of the third world will never buy this. They have been brought up with the mentality that you cannot do anything by yourself and behind everything is a master with a hidden agenda, this is especially true in Iran because everybody is waiting for someone to change everything in the country...
