INTERVIEW
29-Jun-2011
"I like very much stories that underline the ability or inability of our human nature to compose with the unexpected; revolutions, any form of violence, a break up, a beautiful encounter, torture sessions, death of a loved one, an illness diagnostic, etc. Any events that lead us to walk aside from the trails that we were planning to take because usually 'we just go with the flow'. What I find fascinating is the way we manage to be and remain in harmony with our moral values—or not">>>
DICTIONARY

عدم کفایت سیاسی: وضع طبیعی اکثر مدیران سیاسی در اکثر کشورهای جهان سوم. علت آشکار نشدن عدم کفایت سیاسی در کشورهای خاورمیانه: وجود نفت و زور و دین. نداشتن توانایی سیاسی. به زبان اداری: ایشان لیاقت ندارند. به زبان کلانتری: مردک آلت پریش شده رئیس جمهور. به زبان دیپلماتیک: ایشان بهتر است جای دیگری تشریف ببرند. به زبان چاله میدان: اوه اوه اوه! بهش بگو بده بره!>>>
PROTEST
26-Jun-2011 (one comment)
Iran’s pattern of prison abuse and neglect demonstrates that the lives of prisoners of conscience are at risk, the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran said, with the publication of a new report, Death in Prison: No One Held Accountable. The Campaign holds Iranian authorities at the highest levels accountable for the health and well-being of eighteen prisoners of conscience now on their sixth day of a hunger strike. “Iranian prisons are a death trap for prisoners of conscience,” said Aaron Rhodes, a spokesperson for the Campaign>>>
1981
26-Jun-2011 (4 comments)
After 20 June 1981 a type of regime took hold in Iran, for whose newly formed intelligence ministry it became an established and official duty to kill and terrorize the opposition, both inside and outside the country. Despite all that, this very important historical event was gradually forgotten, due to different reasons and by different political, social and civil forces. Examination of opposition media shows that this historical event does not hold its deserved place>>>
ACTION

I envision a meeting that is not afraid of being open. I include groups such as MEK and the Monarchists because meetings that excluded anyone have failed. Though dictatorial groups will probably not show up at a meeting they didn't organize, we have nothing to fear if they do take part because we will be following rules of democratic governance in running the meeting. It will be a display of Iranian democracy in action; excluding certain groups goes against the spirit of unity and democracy that the meeting aims to create>>>
HUNGER STRIKE

دوازده تن از زندانیان سیاسی بند ۳۵۰ اوین دست به اعتصاب غذا زده‌اند...
آنان عملا به ما می‌گویند که مبارزه با فرهنگ فرار از مجازات که در ایران نهادینه شده آن قدر مهم است که باید برای آن حتا از جان مایه گذاشت. و این یعنی ما که می‌توانیم این مبارزه را با هزینه‌های بسیار کمتر دنبال کنیم در ایفای وظیفه خود کوتاهی کرده‌ایم. یعنی اگر «ما»یی که خارج از زندان به سر می‌بریم، و به خصوص «ما»یی که در خارج کشور زندگی می‌کنیم و از آزادی عمل تقریبا مطلق برخورداریم>>>
WAR

Even as John Bolton called for bombing Iran, President Bush’s controversial former Ambassador to the UN received a warm reception from Republicans and many Democrats on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The Chairwoman of the committee, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, even went so far as to say “I love John Bolton.” In addition to his calls for military action against Iran, Bolton made several bold assertions that went unchallenged by the committee>>>

The debate over what to do about an Iranian Islamist regime apparently bent on acquiring nuclear weapons has been on or near our front burner for at least six years, and is now almost a settled feature of the policy landscape. There is general agreement in the United States on two points. First, an Iranian nuclear weapons capability is “unacceptable”, as both the Bush and Obama Administrations have put it; and second, we prefer getting to an acceptable outcome without using force>>>
SATIRE
21-Jun-2011 (19 comments)
Today, the Middle East has replaced the Cold War as America's primary foreign-policy preoccupation. As opposed to the seemingly ideologically homogenous communist bloc, however, the 22 diverse countries that compose the modern Middle East are still confusing to most Americans. Why can't the Israeli and Palestinians stop fighting already? What's the difference between Libya and Lebanon again? Herewith then is a satirical effort to simplify the essence of Middle Eastern governments >>>
PARAZIT

اینطور نبود که مثلا یک گروهی از دولت آمریکا نشستند در زیر زمین کنگرۀ آمریکا و تصمیم گرفتند که این دلقک را با آن دلقک قاطی کنند و پارازیت را تولید کنند. نه، اینطور نبود. طرحِ ایده مال ماست ، هیچ ربطی به دولت آمریکا نداره، تنها کاری که دولت آمریکا میکنه اینه که این سکو را فراهم کرده و دارد به ما حقوق میدهد، امکانات میدهد که ما بتوانیم برنامه ای را که دوست داریم اجرا کنیم. که ما البته سپاسگزاریم که این فرصت به ما داده شده>>>

Invite all leaders and active members of Iranian opposition groups. All should be encouraged to come, including Reformists, Communists, PMOI, Monarchists, Kurdish, and other ethnic groups. This meeting seeks to bring together varied and opposing ideologies in the belief that we can all agree on a set of principles to oppose the IRI with one voice

RIGHTS
19-Jun-2011 (2 comments)
In order to claim a rightful and equitable place among civilized and peaceful democratic nations of the world, Iranians need to overcome major internal and external impediments. There is no assurance that Iranians will not receive heart targeting stabs from every direction. Despair and failure will keep overwhelmingly showing their horrid heads at every turn of their attempt to establish rationality, humanity and harmony, and the creation of a peaceful state>>>
