You know it's coming...

With apologies in advance to OD, but you know the scripts are flying in Hollywood now.

Open letter to Ulmann

Dear Jeff,

Forgive me if I pass on the protocol of calling you "Dr." based on the crass and naively ignorant comments on your website about Iran, the true state of Israel, and the nature of the world as you see it, I really can't respect your technical accomplishments either. As boring and irrelevant as they might be.

So that we are clear, I have to say I think you are in idiot. Regardless of what you say, wear, drive, or think, I can still think you to be a fool if I wish. And Oh how I do wish that!

Arab-Islam? Have Faith!

Islam is the world's most modern and complete and hopefully final religion, that unfortunately has some really inappropriate and invalid ideas still left in it. It originated in Arabia, and it is written in Arabic, hence Arab Islam. Valid label, I would hope you agree.

Happy Birthday! Mr. President!

Happy.... Birthday ...to ....y.....

Happy.............. Birthday.......... to............ y....

Happy Birthday.................. Mr. (loosley, begrudgingly, can't spit it out without screaming) Preside....

Ah! Kooft! Happy Birthday to You already!

Ok, now blow your brains out....

NIAC Stop trying to Stop the War, Stop the Nukes Instead!!!

eroonman — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 21:44:47 +0000

Trying to stop America and Israel from attacking Iran is impossible as long as you defend Iran's right to have a nuke.

The US and Israel have more than clearly laid out what Iran must do to prevent an attack. The fact that they haven't attacked yet is the ongoing miracle. It is also proof that there is a God and that he is largely unjust and loves to torture mankind. (Damn You Adam and Eve!!!)

Iran does not need nukes.

Iran does not even need a nuclear power plant.

Pakestan: Proof having a Bomb is Sheer Stupidity!

eroonman — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 20:57:23 +0000

As sad as it is to say, the ongoing flood disaster in Pakestan is the best proof that acquiring a bomb is utterly stupid, and a huge waste of precious resources of a country struggling to become barely developed.

I wonder what the 20 million people who have been killed and displaced by the rising flood waters of the Indus river, think about their government's choice?

Apologies in advance if this offends anyone. It is meant in jest.

What's Your Position?

eroonman — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 22:29:32 +0000

Opinion it seems, is the secret word for not having any clear principle. Opinions run rampant here, this being a prime example of the phenomenon that this site has become over the past 15 years.

Rarely is anything clear among the myriad of ideas, comments, plans, critiques, or suggestions displayed page after page, screen after screen.

Although I have tried with this persona to be clear, forthright and firm in my beliefs, I too am often misdirected always by emotion and steered into the realm of opining on things that are not all that complicated.

Group Fiction: "Once upon a time in Iran"

eroonman — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 00:16:33 +0000

Help me write a story. Add up to 100 words and pass it on...

Mohsen turned the corner and ran down the small alley just off the main boulevard. His heart was pounding so hard he could feel the reeb reeb reeb in his temples. Sweat ran down his left eye, trickled down his tall nose, dripping off the end of it. He wiped the sweat off his nose with the back of his dirt covered hurting hand. His knuckles had been scraped when he had fallen trying to get away. That was when he saw the dark red color, it wasn't sweat, it was blood! He looked up just in time to see

Oxymoron; def: Iranian Republican

eroonman — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 23:31:22 +0000

Today, I happened upon the self-posted "News" that Shahram Hadian (R) is running for the Washington State House of Representatives in the 44th District. Ouch! And he then asked me for my support too, which made it even worse! How could I say No?

Top 10 List: Something About Amiri...

eroonman — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 22:55:25 +0000

I think we've all seen enough Bourne Identity films by now to know that whenever a spy is caught or released, there is a whole lotta quid pro quo going on. Here's my Top 10 reasons Amiri may have decided to go back: (ranked in all likelihood that Hollywood would be interested in the script)

1- Amiri's Family has been targeted and threatened by the IRI. (This one isn't supposed to be funny, so I thought I'd get it out of the way now)

Iran's absence at the World Cup still smarts...

eroonman — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 23:16:17 +0000

Some think civil rights and personal and political freedom, others think man's inhumanity to women. Certainly these are crimes of the Iranian government worthy of the most public denouncement and humiliation.

Only 3 Options for Iranians

eroonman — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 21:06:26 +0000

A recent discussion led me to consider that in fact today, given the state of affairs vis-vis freedom and the relative lack of it in Iran, we as Iranians really only have 3 options.

As an Iranian today, we are infamous fence riders, unwilling to pick our position on anything, choosing to remain pridefully irrelevant as a people when faced with life's difficult decisions. I mean look, here we are talking incessantly about Iran without doing anything about it. I'm as guilty as the next. I don't even dare unmask myself. I mean, who do I think I am, HODER?

[Redux] You Might Be An Iranian...

...you changed your first name from Reza to Tony, but out of pride kept your family name, which unfortunately happens to be Amirolmolkehghasemabadi

...you own an Italian restaurant, but to have a reason to sell kabab, call your menu "Mediterranean"

... you insist on putting salt on your blackberries arguing they are in fact Shahtoot!

... your cholesterol is insanely high AND you play soccer on Sundays, (sometimes on Thursday nights)

We Want Green Movement Music Videos

eroonman — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 23:23:51 +0000

Based on the count of YouTube listings, there are now more posts of music videos of the Green Movement than actual posts about the Green Movement.

Of course I am kidding. (Or am I?)

How to Run a Protest Movement

eroonman — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 20:02:07 +0000

Running a protest movement, especially one in which you are trying to change an entire government and society is difficult work. All the more reason why planning and preparation is an absolute must for any kind of civil disobedience campaign to work. The Iranian Green Movement has clearly not benefited from any kind of commonly used organizational methods, with the result to show for it.

Definition of Oxymoron: The Green Movement

eroonman — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 22:59:20 +0000

Coming up on this 1st anniversary of the almost forgotten stolen election, the green movement is all but a fond flicker. Despite repeated attempts to re-boot a crashed program that people thought that the Green movement was, nothing but nothing and no sign of life or a plan exists in the grassy realm of whoever is in charge of it. Whatever "it" is, or more aptly, was.

Who's the bigger Moron? Americans or Iranians?

Recently a friend of mine attending a June event, was faced with a comment about the latest Sex and the City movie. The comment was that apparently according to this person's read in the NYTimes, the Moslem world was up in arms over the portrayal of scantily clad women in the film while on an imagined vacation in "Arabia". The comment made was by a Jewish lady in the group, who proceeded to go on about Iran next.

Green is the color...

eroonman — Mon, 24 May 2010 23:41:08 +0000

Green is the color of envy, jealousy, and inexperience.
Green is the color of Islam.
Green makes time go by quickly, a year already past and nothing, but nothing, and none but zero change,
Bad Green!
Bad Green-eyed monster!
Green the inexperienced, Green the untested, and Green the untrained,
Greenhorns, novices, trainees, and beginners,
Green around the gills, a pale, sickly, and weak green.
A vomitous Green.
A useless, pointless, disorganized, naive, and gullible Green Movement,
