What Khamenie Must Do To Save Iran

28-Jul-2012 (17 comments)
Over the past couple of months ordinary Iranians, mostly the unemployed ones, have asked me whether I think there will be war as they know I keep up with the news on the Internet.

یادت می‌آید از مردی گفتم که یک روز به طور کاملن اتفاقی به آسمان رفت و دیگر برنگشت؟ همین الان که به خانه بر‌گشتم ـ با مداد جادویی‌ام حاشیه‌ی آسمان اتاقم را پس زدم ـ درست مثل پرده‌ی سینما که آرام به کنار می‌رود تا فیلم ـ نمایش بدهد>>>
