Mohajerani did not mince words when it came to the nuts-and-bolts questions facing the opposition movement in Iran's ongoing internal crisis. He began by cautioning against haste and expectations for fast results. "The Green Movement is an opportunity for the Iranian people to define themselves on their own terms. The process requires time -- it's not a sprint, but a marathon." He warned that any act toward radicalization would spell "the death of the Green Movement," and stressed the need to preserve its non-violent nature.>>>
RETRIBUTION

تراژدی قتل بهنود شجاعی دو رویه دارد. یکی سرنوشت جوانی است که به خاطر دست داشتن در یک نزاع خشونت‌بار در سن زیر 18 سال، به صورت خشن و فجیعی کشته می‌شود. دیگری وضعیت مادر داغدیده‌ای است که مجبور می‌شود (آری، مجبور می‌شود) برای تسلی خاطر خود دست به قتل بزند. و این دومی فاجعه‌ای کمتر از اولی نیست. نظام قضایی ایران بر فرهنگی استوار است که به دوران بدویت بشر بر می‌گردد. در این فرهنگ، مجازات به معنای مدرن جایی ندارد و در برابر جنایت دو، و تنها دو، واکنش وجود دارد: عفو یا انتقام>>>

نزدیک به یک سال از دستگیری حسین درخشان میگذرد. ابتدای دستگیری اش در وبلاگشهر گرد و خاک زیادی به پا شد . بعضی او را خائن به ملت و بعضی او را پدر ملت و بعضی او را ناجی افسانه ای خواندند. من در دسامبر سال گذشته این مطلب را در مورد درخشان نوشتم. و امروز هم همان احساس را در مورد درخشان دارم. حسین درخشان نه انسان خوبی بود ، و نه دوست خوبی برای انسانهایی که به او اعتماد کردند. ولی حسین درخشان یک انسان است. و یک انسان حتی اگر بد کند و بدی کند و حتی اگر مثل حسین درخشان باشد ، باید از حقوق انسانی اش دفاع کرد.

We may think this kind of protest is new in Iran, but Iranian mothers have always spoken out against violence, disappearance and the torture of their sons and daughters. Prior to the 1979 revolution, only two mothers’ organizations existed in the country. Both were affiliated with underground groups involved in struggles for democracy. They worked in opposition to the monarchy of the Shah’s regime, who’s policies had turned, at the end, to the jailing and torture of intellectuals, feminists, students, and labour union advocates>>>

Our parents’ generation had a question, or a dream: how to build a utopia. Different groups had different answers to that question; some thought the answer is Communism, or as a friend of mine always corrects me, Marxist-Leninism. Some thought the path to Utopia was going through the gates of civilization. Some thought religion was the only way to redemption. Some mixed up a couple of these and came up with new ideas, like Islamic Marxism! There was a common question that people were trying to answer, and even though they had different answers to it, they had something in common: believing in Utopia>>>

من نسبت به آینده کاملا خوشبین هستم. آن را روشن می بینم. رژیم راه حلی ندارد و مسئله احمدی نژاد یک مسئه دائمی لاینحلی شده و خامنه ای نیز این را می داند. ولی اگر او را بردارد، خودش هم رفتنی است. بسیاری از روحانیون با احمدی نژاد مخالفند. اکثریت مردم با او مخالفند و این بار دیگر نشان داده شده که مردم عقب نشینی نخواند کرد. مردم باز در روز قدس امدند و تظاهرات کردند. قرار است روز 13 آبان تظاهرات وسیعی انجام گیرد. من آینده ایران را دموکراتیک می بینم چرا که مردم با وجود این که در حال حاضر عقب نشینی تاکتیکی کرده اند، در درازمدت دیگر زیر بار دیکتاتوری و زور نخواهند رفت>>>

About 40 years ago as the feminism around the world raised to a visible phenomenon, a heated dialogue came up with a question posed as, what is it that the feminist are eagerly going after? Answering some difficult questions such as, if the justice equates to equality for women’s right, or women are equal to men, was set to the top of feminists’ agenda. Is happiness the key? We should know by now that changes and advancements in our lives are motivated by an underlying and mysterious physiological effect in our body and soul called happiness>>>
IRAN-U.S.
08-Oct-2009 (5 comments)
For the United States to align itself with a government such as the Islamic Republic of Iran would be to kick the opposition in the teeth. The Islamic Republic has shown that it is neither Islamic nor a republic -- in the elegant phrasing of Iran's respected "dissident ayatollah," Ali Montazeri. And now it is running scared. The regime is afraid to kill protesters, since doing so only inflames the opposition. At the September 19 Quds Day protests, it did not even arrest them, aware of how socially explosive the accusations of retaliatory prison rape have been. In contrast, protesters were bold enough to stand next to Ahmadinejad and shout "resign, resign" when he was interviewed on state television>>>

The European Union Foreign policy Chief Javier Solana at the end of his talks with Iran's negotiating team at Geneva, Switzerland on Oct. 1st reported Iran's readiness to allow the Inspector of the International Atomic Energy Agency to visit its recently declared uranium enrichment plant. The visit relieved the tension orchestrated by President Barack Obama and his European allies, President Sarkozy of France and Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain. Another progress was that the U.S. and other world powers agreed to process low-enriched uranium from Iran>>>
RETREAT
08-Oct-2009
عقب‌نشینی جمهوری اسلامی در مذاکرات ژنو البته و به ظاهر در مقیاس محدودی بوده است. موافقت با ارسال اورانیوم تغلیظ شده در حد 3 تا 5 در سد به روسیه برای تغلیظ آن تا 19.75 در سد، دعوت از نمایندگان آژانس بین‌المللی انرژی اتمی برای بازدید از تأسیسات تازه اعلام شده در قم، و گفتگوی مستقیم نمایندگان جمهوری اسلامی و آمریکا در حاشیه کنفرانس، ظاهرا گام‌های کوچکی در حل مناقشات هسته‌ای ایران با غرب بشمار می‌رود. ولی اگر به مواضع رسمی دولت ایران و رجزخوانی‌های چند ساله اخیر آقای احمدی‌نژاد توجه کنیم به وضوح دیده می‌شود که این گام‌های به ظاهر کوچک از یک چرخش فاحش رژیم جمهوری اسلامی در سیاست هسته‌ای و خارجی آن حکایت می‌کند>>>

First the Good News: We – The Iranian Immigrants of all ages - just made a great showing in New York, of representing our much oppressed countrymen inside Iran. I was there for both days and certainly saw enough to know the majority of Iranians will build on their cumulative showing and will do even better in the future. I am certain of that – especially now that I see so many of our youth, breaking the old taboos and getting involved in politics relating to Iran.>>>

For weeks, if not months, Obama borrowing a page or two from George Bush's ghastly playbook, worked hard to create a "coalition of the willing." 1) The post-election unrest and its aftermath involvement of security forces in Iran provided a golden opportunity for Obama's administration to rally a united front of the imperialist nations against Iran's nuclear program and at its center the uranium enrichment industry. 2) In Eastern Europe, Obama scrapped the plans for a ballistic missile defense system with an eye to attract Russia to the coalition and finally, 3) he slapped tariffs on Chinese tires to pressure them to remain a silent opposition>>>
POINT

I was one of the thousands of protestors who gathered in front of the United Nations on September 23 to say NO to Ahmadinejad and yes to democracy in Iran. We were not 400 people as CNN claimed. There were thousands of us, from different groups that had gathered at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, from the Mojahedin and the royalists to the green movement supporting Mir Hossein Mousavi and Karroubi and independents like me, who came together or rather, appeared at different stages to show our support for a righteous cause, to support our people’s quest and struggle for democracy>>>
