AHMADINEJAD

Four More Years?

Does it really matter who gets “elected” in June? I think not.

06-May-2009 (16 comments)
When it comes to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, there is no grey: you either like him or you don’t. His supporters point to his strong and often very vocal anti-West, anti-Israel stance, while his opponents complain about all the negative press he has created for Iran in the West as well as his policies that have nearly destroyed Iran’s economy. Well, are you ready for four more years of Ahmadinejad? You might as well be, since indications are that in a two-man race this June he will be “elected” to run the country for another four years. The first reason he will be elected is history. In the 30 years since the inception of the Islamic Republic of Iran, there have been five presidents prior to Ahmadinejad>>>

Throwing the Book at Tehran

U.S. has been largely alone in ramping up enforcement activities against Iran

06-May-2009 (13 comments)
Several factors are most likely behind the increase in the number and scale of the law enforcement investigations targeting Iran's illicit activities. The first is undoubtedly related to the growing prioritization of Iran by all arms of the U.S. government. As the Bush administration highlighted the growing threat posed by Iran, all of the relevant government agencies -- including law enforcement entities -- began exploring what they could bring to this effort. A second factor was the appointment of a national export control coordinator at the Justice Department in October 2007. The coordinator, career prosecutor Steven Pelak, has helped raise the profile of export control cases among prosecutors throughout the United States>>>

دلارا دارابی، قربانی مبارزه قدرت؟

موج مخالفت با مجازات اعدام در ایران در حال گسترش است

قتل دلارا دارابی دردناك بود. نه به خاطر این كه او زیبا بود، گرچه زیباكشان یكی از لطیف‌ترین احساسات انسانی را به مسلخ می‌برند؛ نه به خاطر آن كه او هنرمند بود، گرچه بی‌هنران ِ هنرمندكش كمر به قتل گوهر انسانیت بسته‌اند؛ نه به خاطر این كه او جوان بود، گرچه جوان‌كشی انتقامی است كه مهر باطل خوردگان از آینده و آینده‌سازان می‌گیرند؛ و نه به خاطر این كه او احتمالا بی‌گناه بود، گرچه جرم او هیچ‌گاه در دادگاهی عادلانه به اثبات نرسید. قتل دلارا دارابی دردناك بود، به خاطر این كه او یك انسان بود. یعنی اگر دلارا زشت‌رو بود و هنری نداشت و سنی از او گذشته بود و مجرم هم بود نیز قتلش باید دل هر انسانی را به درد می‌آورد. قتل عمد انسان، هر انسانی، دردناك است؛ و وقتی انسانی اسیر و دست بسته و بی‌دفاع در محیطی تحت كنترل، به نام قانون كشته می‌شود انسانیت نیز با او كشته می‌شود>>>

Life is a game of football

Nader Jahanfard's passage into the beautiful game with Middle Eastern accent

06-May-2009 (7 comments)
Ahmad Tousi, PhD, Head Coach of Cal State Stanislaus Warriors writes: No sport has experienced such a tremendous growth in popularity in the U.S. in the past few years as soccer. Soccer is now played everywhere around the globe. This book has been written to present the experience of a man over the years. The knowledge gained has been and will continue to be tested as new ideas emerge and changes occur. Nader is the maker of his own fortune. Soccer is an intriguing game. There is nothing like an exciting run, a great feint, an accurate pass, a good shot, a brilliant save or a dazzling goal... The goal of this book is to provide you with verbal and visual imagery to recall and adopt. I strongly believe that the author has scored on all accounts.>>>

My heart an old house of Love,
With a playground for nobles
Those immortals play my fate
Then, leave this house a war zone
What is left behind?
Pieces of memories
So, I put the scraps together
