Something better to do

Is Ghorme Sabzi more important than bombing of Iran?

18-Nov-2007 (22 comments)
For those of you who don't know what Ghorme Sabzi is, it's a popular Iranian stew made of beans, chopped vegetables, dried lime and minced meat cooked in a certain order, mixed together and cooked again to be served with white rice. You may ask what does this stew have to do with bombing Iran other that the fact that eating too much of it feels like being bombed from the inside? A few years ago a friend in England sent me an email expressing his concern about the possibility of a preemptive American attack against Iran and thought this would be a disaster for both countries>>>

People here sometimes ask me how I came to things Iranian, and this is a difficult question to respond to. Because one never comes to things like this; these things always come to one. And if I explained how Iran came to me, those who had to ask me would never believe me, and those who would believe me never ever ask. Nonetheless, I shall single out two "events". The first one was September, 11, 2001, when I like many of my "hamvatans", looking deeply into the flames, began to ponder the "Muslim world." But my research led me inexorably to Iran, as though it were a road I'd trodden often long before>>>

Humans have zeal
We are creatures
Who venerate
This is true even
For those who
Don’t know
What is worthy?
And find substitutes
In kings, ayatollahs >>>

منطق درهمريختهء جدائی طلبی

18-Nov-2007 (22 comments)
بنظر من، اصرار مدام بر وجود «ملت های مختلف» در برابر «ملت فارس» و، در همان حال، زير فرش کردن مفهومی به نام «ملت ايران»، نشانگر اين واقعيت است که جدائی طلبان اتفاقاً مشکلی واقعی با آنچه که «ملت فارس» می خوانند ندارند و مشکل اصلی آنها با وجود گسترده و فراگيری به نام «ملت ايران» است.>>>

Meet the resistance

Divide and conquer! The West has perfected this strategy.

18-Nov-2007 (65 comments)
The idea that US and UK would like to see Iraq break apart has valid historical precedence. In fact, this has been their standard strategy around the world and especially in the Middle East. All one has to do is to perform a simple experiment. Find maps of Middle Eastern natural resources and ethnic population distribution from the WWI era, and then superimpose them on top of a map of the current boundaries. When the era of independence came, the Western colonial powers did their best to divide up the resources as much as possible amongst nations with weak governments, which will always have to depend on external support for their existence.>>>

POETRY

Number theory and lovers

Lose heart to only one

18-Nov-2007 (3 comments)

Take the number of your lovers,
Multiplied by the promises you
Made or were made to you
Establish the expanse of your
Heart's vulnerability.

Take the number of days
You have cried alone;
Confirm, in its aftermath,
Your soul's exponential growth.
