ALBORZ

 کوه نخست

تمامی کوهها از خاک برخاستند – به جز البرز—و منشاَ شادمانی انسان گشتند.

21-Mar-2008 (2 comments)
درسفری اخیر به تهران خود را برای اولین بار شیفته البرز یافتم. گویا یک آشنازدایی رخ داده بود که مرا دلباخته کوهستانی میکرد که سالیان سال با بی تفاوتی نظاره گرش بودم و این در حالی که هر روزم را با نگاهی به البرز آغار کرده بودم. باید سالها میگذشتند تا دور از وطن و در شهری عاری از کوه، به ارزش صلابت و استفامت البرزپی میبردم، چراکه علی رغم آنچه در طی قرون و اعصار بر ما رفته است، علی رغم اهانتهایی که به میراث فرهنگیمان منجمله تخت جمشید و پاسارگاد روا داشته اند، این کوه ها را نتوانسته اند از ما بگیرند. هزاران نگهبان هم که به البرز روانه شده اند تا از درهم آمیختن دو جنس جلوگیری به عمل آورند، کوه ها همجنان با استحکام ایستاده و پذیرای عاشقان عشق و دوستداران طبیعت بوده اند.>>>

Results of US invasion of Iraq

21-Mar-2008 (39 comments)
Iraq was occupied by the US-led troops from March 20 to May 1, 2003. Five years have passed since the Bush administration launched the war on terror beginning with the campaign entitled "Operation Iraqi Freedom" to topple the Saddam regime in Iraq. Yet the panoramic picture of Iraq continues to remain in a sombre situation. The US was yet to reach its target to “disarm” Saddam Hussein’s regime of weapons of mass destruction in the fight against “terrorism”, but nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons were never found in Iraq after the military occupation>>>

In English, there is only one standard way of saying Happy New Year. In French, Bonne Annee, etc. Should Farsi-speaking Iranians use one standard spelling?
