Fast food at home

28-Sep-2007 (5 comments)
Fast Food. Get it quick. Delivery in 30 minutes or less. A minute on the lips, a lifetime on the hips. Why do we spend so much money (and time) ordering take-out and eating convenience food? Because we don’t have time. Because we are busy, because we have 3 kids and a husband/wife to feed when we get home. These are all valid reasons, of course. But what if you took the very same 30 minutes that pizza places promise to deliver food to you in and instead make something simple and delicious at home instead? Sure, there is a little effort involved. I believe you have to ‘Give a little, to get a little’, but the food you produce will not only be better for you and your family, but will probably be even better received!>>>

COLUMBIA

Both Bollinger and Ahmadinejad came away with a handsome quid pro quo

27-Sep-2007 (7 comments)
On the surface, it has the trappings of a controversial historical event. Ahmadinejad assents to visit Columbia University, protestors of all stripes camp outside the gates, Lee Bollinger springs a rhetorical ambush on him, Ahmadinejad cries foul, public opinion is inflamed and polarized. Fierce debates ensue: Is Bollinger in the service of Neocon and Israeli interest groups? Was the invitation a stage for Ahmadinejad to legitimize his infamous views? Did Bollinger's critical introduction backfire and allow Ahmadinejad to steal the mantle of advocate of free speech? What happened at Columbia on Monday has spiraled far beyond the well-manicured grounds of the Morningside Heights campus, and like a steroid-fuelled game of Telephone, has totally changed its meaning>>>

The word “diplomatic” is derived from “diplomacy” which is the art of international mediation or negotiation for the purpose of maintaining peaceful relations. Imposing sanctions on a country to enhance diplomatic efforts is as absurd a notion as bombing to preserve peace or engaging in sexual assault to preserve virginity. >>>

The small voices of history

Limitations of new unheard voices

27-Sep-2007 (one comment)
It worries me to see only a certain number of Iranians voicing their experiences, stories and opinions. It seems to me that only a small number of Iranian voices are being heard throughout the world and the concerns of many other Iranians are not being disregarded in different ways. As an Iranian who lives in the United States, I worry that we are getting too distracted by our own voices and experiences of immigration, exile and nostalgia. I worry that many of us forget that Iran still has a population of almost 70 million peopleó 70 million individuals. Not all of these individuals are privileged enough to have a chance for voicing their own stories and opinions.>>>

POINT

Ahmadinejad in America

A simple heaping of humility would have helped him to dispel any notions of being diabolical

27-Sep-2007 (13 comments)
As an Iranian-American who observes Iranian politics with equal parts curiosity and concern, I am at once amazed and astonished by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s most recent display of tactlessness at Columbia University, especially given his oftentimes eloquent if not ebullient nature. Unable to posit straight answers to questions like “Do you seek the destruction of Israel?” and “Are you supporting terrorism in Iraq ?” he appeared ostensibly opposed to directly answer anything controversial. Consequently, and contrary to his somewhat emboldened image at home, he made himself look clumsy, weak and dare I say feeble.>>>
