We fell behind

How Mulla Sdara missed Copernicus

18-Oct-2007 (11 comments)
We live at a critical juncture of Iran's history and as a nation we are facing critical challenges in foreign and domestic politics. Naturally there is not much room for philosophical contemplation at this time. Nonetheless I decided to take a critical view of one of the great Persian philosophers in order to provide a historical perspective for us as a nation so we can evaluate our strengths and weaknesses and don't become a victim of a naive pride.>>>

Participatory media is all about extending "power to the people", let me see if I can leverage this medium to get some information that is important to me to the attention of Pierre Omidyar, founder and chairman of eBay, and likewise see if I can get a compelling response from him.

The lone song

It was hot in the desert
a heat as sharp as the steel
of my financial defeat.

In the deep end of the bar
with sweats of alcohol
sticking my shirt to the seat >>>

LIFE

The Bird

Stubborn little bird it was!

17-Oct-2007 (one comment)
The little bird was perched up on the exposed rafter in the garage. A tiny bird it was; perhaps smaller than even a sparrow, with dark grey feathers. At first, we thought it was injured; a broken wing or something. But it would fly from beam to beam if anybody approached it. It would flap its wings and make a chirp, barely audible. Maybe it is abandoned by its mother. Maybe it left the pack for some adventure, a curiosity, perhaps, and got lost.>>>

MONARCHY

Meet your Beloved King

As long as I am the king of Iran, I never let anyone oppress any others

17-Oct-2007 (33 comments)
I am accepting the role of monarch, and just like Cyrus THE GREAT who wrote his Charter of Human Rights for his blessed subjects, I have prepared my own. I am presenting this Charter of Human Rights to you, so you can elect me as your tyrant... no, shit (that wasn't for you)... beloved king: 1) I announce that I will respect the traditions, customs and religions of the nations of my empire and never let any of my governors and subordinates look down on or insult them until I am alive (I will only let the security service, or personal militia, do all that while pretending to know nothing).>>>

The fall of Khatami

Iranian people have moved on

17-Oct-2007 (17 comments)
Although, Khatami delivered well on executing the laws but his evil twin in the parliament cost him his defacement. One thing that people weren’t aware of was that Khatami couldn’t convey everything single-handedly by himself. He needed the parliament to back him up on correcting small and minor laws that could bring some quick results through reforming trade laws, the tax laws, small but incremental women’s right, stopping the Reza Khatami, Navabi, Abdi, and Mirdamadi’s gang for harassing conservatives, and focusing on how to work with the conservatives rather than trying to uproot them. >>>
