SASANIAN

Portrait of an Empire

Responding to a dire need of much more in depth study of Sasanian Iran and its history

25-Sep-2008 (6 comments)
Now historians have made attempts at reclaiming the history of ancient Iran and making it a matter for those well exercised in the historical approach to ancient times. I myself have very much tried to engage in the study of ancient Iranian history in dialogue with the historians of Rome, India, Asia and Caucasus, as well as those working on the economic, cultural and social history of the world or those interested in the roots and precedents of Islamic history and late antiquity. It is only in this way that ancient Iranian history can be released from philology and archaeology, and at the same time take advantage of the sources of knowledge brought about by these fields>>>

Dealing with Iran's not-so-irrational leadership

24-Sep-2008 (16 comments)
Western reporting on Iran's nuclear program is based on the underlying assumption that the Iranians are irrational in their policy-making, therefore Iran is a nation with whom diplomacy is a waste of time. A nuclear Iran has been framed by the Israeli hawks as an "existential threat," the framing adopted by the American media as well: Iran is a suicide-bombing nation. If allowed to build a nuclear bomb, they will strap it on and destroy Israel even if it means the destruction of their own country and its 70 million inhabitants. The logical way to deal with such irrational self-destructive characters is to preempt them by destroying them. This logic looms behind Western news about Iran and remains a possible rationale for a military attack on the country. >>>

John McCain? WHY?

The word is being used and abused without too many of us even realizing what it means

24-Sep-2008 (23 comments)
Why is McCain a hero? He enlisted to the Navy voluntarily mainly because his father and his grand father were both Navy boys. He knew joining the Navy means possible fighting in a time of war, which America, thank you very much, is almost always involved in some corner of the world. He knew going to Vietnam runs a risk of getting shot down, in fact he got shot down a few times before he got captured. He knew there is a chance to get hurt, captured, or even killed. He went to fly planes and rain bullets and bombs on everything that moved in North Vietnam thousands of miles away from his home, when his country was in no danger and no one had attacked it>>>

ARASH & KAMYAR

پسران همه ملت ایران

بجای تشویق و قدررانی در مبارزه با ایدز، آنان را در زندان محبوس میکنند

24-Sep-2008 (4 comments)
بیاد میاورم آرش و کامیار را زمانیکه آنان هنوز به مدرسه نرفته بودند. در حیاط خانه بازی می کردند، صدای خنده آرش و چهره پرسشگر کامیاررا هنوز بیاد دارم . آنان راپس ازسالها وقتی در لندن دیدم هنوز هم همان صفا و صمیمیت را درچهره هایشان میدیدم. انسانهایی فداکارو مسئول، دلم میخواست هر کاری از دستم بر می آید برایشان انجام دهم. عاشق شغل و کارهای تحقیقی خود بودند، برای آنیده شان برنامه های وسیع در زمینه آموزش و کنترل ایدز در ایران و کشورهای فارس زبان دیگر داشتند. آیا نهایت سنگدلی نیست به چنین انسانهایی تهمت براندازی و اقدام علیه امنیت ملی زد؟ آیا دستگیری آنان اقدامی علیه تمامی انسانهایی که مبتلا به ویروس اچ. ای. وی هستند نیست؟ آیا توهین به تمامی والدینی نیست که این چنین فرزندان انساندوست و فداکاری را تربیت می کنند؟ آیا توهین به تمامی سازمانهای بین المللی که خواستار آزادی این دو برادر شده اند نیست؟ >>>

On a misty day
My face feels air like the old memories…
I look back and pray, not once
But so many times, over and over
Calling your name and longing for your touch
And hoping somewhere out there … faraway,
You have closed your eyes and thinking of the one, who >>>
