 <title>The End of a Reign</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/hajminator/end-reign</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;32 years ago, before the revolution, the strucutre of power in Iran was divided between two factions, and the Shah, above them both, had the margin to maneuver and to govern the country. Perhaps one of the reasons that the Shah&#039;s regime fell was that he disarranged this equation. The fact that Mohammad-Reza Pahlavi centralized the power into a monolitic Hezb Rastakhiz, had the effect to put his policies directly into people’s mouth with no any pout to maneuver.&lt;br /&gt;

 <title>Why the heck, Mahmoud didn’t inaugurate the Bushehr plant?</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/hajminator/why-heck-mahmoud-didn-t-inaugurate-bushehr-plant</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Mamouhd Ahmdinejad, better known as A.N. in Iran, is a populist leader who till now said billions of things which were mostly wind in the air. Everyone around the world is aware of these lies and I’ll not present them here, as it would be an insult to the intelligence of many Iranians, and is also beyond the scope of this blog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/hajminator/why-heck-mahmoud-didn-t-inaugurate-bushehr-plant&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Ahmadinejad&#039;s Foreign Policy</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/hajminator/ahmadinejads-foreign-policy</link>
 <description>&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
What is the meaning of the radicalization in IRI’s foreign policy led by AhmadiNejad (AN)? Is there a real break with the foreign policies of his two predecessors? If we look closely, we can see that there exist both, a number of traits confirming the continuity in IRI’s foreign policy and also the emergence of new axes indicating profound and real changes.&lt;br /&gt;

 <title>The Myth of efficient Sanctions</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/hajminator/myth-efficient-sanctions</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Sanctions on Iran were first imposed just after the takeover of the American embassy in Teheran. After 30 years of a gradually increasing number of sanctions, Iranians are now bearing the heaviest punitive measures in the world. These measures are mostly focused on the old system of &lt;i&gt;Hawales &lt;/i&gt;(cash payments) which is not traceable by any financial watchdogs. But instead of all these coercive measures we are far from the first expectations and Sepah’s suitcases of dollars are more blooming than ever. There are several reasons for this paradox but the main points are:&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Hagh Mossalam and other thoughts</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/hajminator/hagh-mossalam-and-other-thoughts</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;In the early 50s, Turkey and Iran had the same aspirations for democracy and peace which resulted in the development of the entire ME region. In Iran, this democratic impulse was embodied in the charismatic person of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mossadegh&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Mossadegh&lt;/a&gt;, whose basic ideas were, at that time, not too far from those of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nehru&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Nehru&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/hajminator/hagh-mossalam-and-other-thoughts&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Makhmoud, the Grandson of Machiavel</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/hajminator/makhmoud-grandson-machiavel</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Ahmadinejad’s rhetoric, on Monday April the 20th in Geneva, was addressed to Arab people in the street and also aimed to divert the attention of the Iranian electorate, two months before the presidential elections.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At his first electoral campaign in 2005, he had focused on economic issues and promised a general improvement of living conditions in Iran, but four years later, his records are abysmal. Unemployment and inflation have increased significantly despite a rise in oil prices. And, the situation has been aggravated by international sanctions.&lt;br /&gt;

 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/hajminator/its-time-compose-iran-president-obama-please-talk-0</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The Iranian economy has a great growth potential, and if the country opens, Both US and Iran could conclude mutual beneficial agreements. Iran is not North Korea or Afghanistan. Its gross domestic product reached 382 billion dollars, which places it at the same level than Thailand or Colombia. Bringing it to the population, the GDP amounts to 13 100 dollars, which is better than Turkey or Kazakhstan. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/hajminator/its-time-compose-iran-president-obama-please-talk-0&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Parallels in History</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/hajminator/parallels-history</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
History is being  repeated once again. More than 10 000 000 innocents were being eradicated by the Nazi regime less than 65 years ago. Nazism is characterized by the evils of genocide, racism, and extreme nationalism. Looking at this dark moments and from a national German perspective. We see that most Germans were not Nazis - very few were actually members of the Nazi party. Most Germans did not even know about the mass murders, because Hitler&#039;s censorship of the press did not let them know any of it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/hajminator/parallels-history&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;In the art of distorting reality, there is a cunning ploy, called &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;roobah vo domash&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;: the target is followed by a clumsy gumshoe; she (Let&#039;s be feminist) discovers she is being tailed, easily shakes the tail off and goes on, feeling secure.  Beside her, there are other detectives who stick to her like glue and follow her to her perdition.  This is commonly called a “double tail” or &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;domeh roobah&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/hajminator/divide-conquer&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
