هجدهمین بیانیه میرحسین موسوی در سالروز راهپیمایی سکوت ۲۵ خرداد

15-Jun-2010 (51 comments)
از دروغ، تخلف و تقلب به کار گرفته شده در انتخابات، سوال “رای من کجاست؟” زاده شد و شما مردم، روشن و بی ابهام به شیوه ای مسالمت آمیز در راهپیمایی تاریخی و بی نظیر ۲۵ خرداد ۱۳۸۸ این سوال را پرقدرت و بلند فریاد زدید و جز کسانی که جهل و خرافه و منفعت پرستی و دروغ چشم و گوش آنها را بسته بود، در سطح ملی و جهان همه آن را شنیدند و دیدند. ولی پاسخ چه بود؟ جز داغ و درفش و کشتن و به حبس کردن و زنجیر به تن برهنه زندانیان زدن و حمله به خوابگاه‌های دانشجویی؟>>>

A Movement, not a Coup

What was the Green Movement? A debate rages

15-Jun-2010 (3 comments)
Partisans see the Green Movement as a sign that Iran is on the verge of a massive democratization. Critics see it as an exaggerated hiccup, barely more important than the student protests of the late 1990s, which amounted to nothing. Which interpretation is right has implications for US foreign policy. If the regime is tottering, the Obama administration can afford to batter it with sanctions and ignore it, hoping to help it fall. If it is strong and enduring, then it will have to be dealt with and probably direct negotiations are called for>>>

Iran and the CIA: The Fall of Mosaddeq Revisited

15-Jun-2010 (26 comments)
The fall of Mosaddeq and the role of foreign forces and Iranians are still debated among scholars and politicians alike. Fifty seven years after August 19, 1953, the debate remains as fresh as the day that changed Iran. Darioush Bayandor has come up with a new book "Iran and the CIA: The Fall of Mosaddeq Revisited", in which argues the issues surrounding the events that led to the coup d’etat from a different perspective. Mr. Bayandor was an Iranian diplomat who held various posts at the United Nations during the Shah’s government>>>

Insights into ties between Iran and the United States

15-Jun-2010 (one comment)
Roger Howard has a simple thesis: that it is Iran's natural resources, and not its nuclear program, that should inform the reaction of the West to its manipulative foreign policy and ambition for regional domination. In other words, by pursuing sanctions and other punitive measures, the United States may be misjudging Iran's real weapon (ample natural resources) and undermining its own power. The US trade embargoes on Iran benefit only the US's rivals, who will cheerfully take advantage of the vacuum through investments and trade partnerships. >>>

تلاش اصلی مجموعه «سکس و شهر» در این نهفته است که تصویر بدوی و خشنی از مردان رسم کند

15-Jun-2010 (11 comments)
از هفت سال پیش سریال تلویزیونی «سکس و شهر» نوشته‌ها و خاطرات یک زن روزنامه‌نگار ساکن نیویورک را به درون خانه‌های آمریکای شمالی برد. دیری نپایید که ادعاهای حق به جانب و شاکیانه‌ی قهرمان اصلی و سه دوست مؤنث دیگر او در این سریال نسبت به مردان، هم نظر زنان را به خود جلب کرد و هم خشم توام با کنجکاوی مردان را برانگیخت>>>
