Dual communication

The new US Ambassador to the United Nations, Dr. Susan Rice, has vowed that the Obama administration intends to pursue “vigorous diplomacy” to prevent the Islamic Republic from obtaining nuclear weapons. According to Obama himself, such diplomatic overtures will be complemented by a principled “carrots and sticks” approach conducted, presumably, in concert with the EU and -- potentially -- China and Russia, who have traditionally been less willing to really press Tehran to comply with its NPT obligations. Clearly then, the Obama administration needs to immediately to reach out to these powers, as well as the broader international community, to make the case that a nuclear-armed Islamic Republic is simply an unacceptable prospect>>>

Bye Bye Cockroach!

n Monday, corporate America announced that they are laying off 50,000 people. As this gloomy day progressed, this number got even bigger... Although losing my job was hard, tough, emotionally as well as financially, I can't deny the big positive impact it had on me. It made me think about myself. What I've been doing?... Where do I stand?...Is this what I wanted? How far am I from where I want to be? And that was fabulous. To stop. To take a break from the life of a mechanical cockroach that I was. To observe this mechanical cockroach and wonder why it was programmed the way it was. >>>

Swimming with a Mollah

He got to the house, crossing the crunching graveled drive in front, and made his way up to the landing, after seeing the large wooden open doors. It looked as if the house was eager to invite a stranger in for a visit, once again. The house was empty. As he walked inside he noticed broken windows and stained chalky walls. Dirt dried after a rain once had flooded the inside, covering chipped tile and a rough marble floor. He made his way through the old house, and came into what was most likely the sitting room. The large square room had a balcony at the far end, and as he came closer to it, he could see more of this morning's mountains and scenery through the broken doors and windows. He stepped onto the balcony and noticed that the garden was surprisingly well kept and quite lovely.>>>

Noble one from Fenderesk

To all who were kind enough to take pleasure in my recent selection as a lawyer of the year in Massachusetts, at first, I thought to write each of the well-wishers individually and thank them for their kind words, encouragement and the reminder about some fruity object not falling far from the tree. I owe much to father and there is not a day that I do not think of him. I do not miss him in a sad way: I miss him as a player in my life’s situational comedies, who is no longer there to deliver the lines that only he would or could. I am working on my son, the wise ass, to take up where father left off. In time, I will report on the progress of that venture>>>

دوازده چمدان شاه

با همه مشکلاتی که با جمهوری اسلامی دارم اما یه حرفشونو باید با طلا نوشت و به همه در و دیوار های شهر ها و آبادی های ایران آویزون کرد. اونم منافق خوندن دار و دسته مسعود و مریم رجویه. چقدر لجم میگیره وقتی می بینم این زنک لچک بسر با اون کت و دامن های مسخره نارنجی و سبز و بنفش که از پارچه های رومبلی و پرده ای دوخته شده بتونه خودشو بعنوان دموکرات و آزاد منش جا بزنه و با قدم زدن روی خون هزاران هزار بچه های بیگناهی که فریب دادند و به جوخه های اعدام کشوندن تازه توسط اتحادیه اروپا هم به رسمیت شناخته بیشن. یه گاف بزرگ برای اتحادیه اروپا و یه بیلاخ بزرگ برای آزادی و دموکراسی به سبک غرب.>>>

روياي خنده

پيرمرد،
اَفسُرده و پِِنهاني،
ميانِ خاكستر و زنجير
بَر لَكههايِ خون
مينِگَرد،
ميگِريَد.
با ذهني خسته
نگاه ميكند ميانِ شِكافها >>>
