کنفرانس بین‌المللی امنیت هسته‌ای واشنگتن در شرایطی برگزار شد که سران دو قدرت بالفعل یا بالقوه اتمی از آن غایب بودند: اسراییل و ایران. این دو قدرت، دقیقا کشورهایی هستند که این روزها بیش از هر کشور دیگری در خطر یک درگیری فاجعه‌بار هسته‌ای قرار دارند. علاوه بر این، هر دو کشور منکر آن هستند که به سلاح اتمی مجهزند و یا در صدد تجهیز خود برآمده‌اند. ولی جامعه جهانی می‌داند که اولی دارای سلاح اتمی است، و بخش بزرگی از جامعه جهانی به فعالیت‌های هسته‌ای دومی شدیدا مظنون است>>>

Many issues have been raised in the past few days in thousands of comments and many diaries about the venomous tone of incivility in the comment threads at Daily Kos. There have been calls for better – and fairer – moderation on my part. People have also called for better and fairer moderation by Trusted Users.

Some users have said the situation will only calm down when this or that individual, or this or that group, is banned>>>

The “Hojjatieh” is widely unknown to most people in the West. I will attempt to address the critical issue with this article. The Hojjatieh movement is considered to be so radical that it was banned in 1983 by the Ayatollah Khomeini and is still opposed by the majority of the Iranian clerics, including the Supreme Leader of the Supreme National Security Council, Ayatollah Ali Khamanei. That should be telling in and of itself>>>

DESIRE

A trip to Italy

I knew I was going to miss him but I didn’t want to grieve when he was still in my arms

I woke up in the middle of the night by the slow sound of his purring. He was in my bed and I hardly knew him. Only for a few days. His chestnut hair and blonde beard were highlighted in the semi-dark room and the light hair on his massive chest was a little shiny, reflecting the light coming from the lampposts in the street. We were in a hotel in Venice and he was actually a total stranger. He introduced himself as Steve and he was American. That was all I knew about him>>>
