Security Council needs new approach towards Iran

07-Feb-2009 (18 comments)
Today the strategic landscape has changed, and most experts agree that Iran has become a regional power. It is perhaps the only local actor in the Middle East that can contribute to the stabilization of Iraq and Afghanistan and facilitate the United States’ exit from its current crisis. Since the balance of power has greatly shifted in its favour, Iran can neither be omitted in the Middle Eastern equation nor can it be manipulated or coerced as in the 1950s and 1980s. The world needs Iran to stabilize the region and to contribute to international peace and security>>>

LANGUAGE

On Vocabulary of Sex

How the culture of developed countries allow terms such as penis and vagina be used with a neutral tone?

07-Feb-2009 (12 comments)
There has been a flurry of sex-related short stories in the past little while, some written by women. This effort in itself is pushing the envelope and creating a space that didn’t exist before and my hat’s off to the writers, regardless of their literary merit. Reading these stories and also readers’ comments make it evident that Farsi language offers few choices in sex vocabulary. Writers have resorted to all kinds of indirect reference to genitalia, as well as directly using the few terms available in Farsi, thus creating various reactions in readers that range from outrage to mockery>>>

Yet another answer to the economic crisis

07-Feb-2009 (6 comments)
Looking at how best to spend the now $900 Billion planned by the Obama administration, where to put it, seems daunting to say the least. The thing that almost everyone of the Keynesian persuasion agrees, is that what you don't want to happen is nothing. That lesson was learned from the banking bailout under the much criticized and worse, ongoing TARP program. Banks that were failing, were given Billions in cash, only to pay each other ridiculous bonuses for precisely failing at the helms of some of America's finest financial institutions. Some merely built up their own cash reserves. Not much made it to outright lending, as was hoped>>>

ساکن خانه ی شيشه ای

هيچگاه حس نکرده بودم که در خانهء شکنندهء شيشه ای من رازی پشت پرده و اسکلتی در گنجه وجود دارد

07-Feb-2009 (3 comments)
هر سال، به بهمن ماه که می رسيم، می بينم که عده ای، برای يافتن مقصران و مسببان «بدبختی ملت ايران»، به سنگ اندازی و پرده برافکنی و گنجه گشودن و رسيدگی پروندهء مرده و زنده مشغول می شوند و، در دورانی که باخت مسلم سی سال پيش همهء ايرانيان در برابر رهبری اسلامی ـ آخوندی انقلاب 57 موجب تداوم بازی «کی بود؟ کی بود؟ من نبودم!» شده است، می کوشند تا مادر مرده ای را ـ درست و غلط ـ بيابند و درازش کنند؛ و اگر نمی شد خوب درازش کرد با شعبده بازی کاری کنند که اين توهم در مردم بوجود آيد که طرف دراز کردنی است. >>>
