DIPLOMACY

The Moscow round of negotiations over Iran's nuclear program ended today without discernible progress, though diplomats kept hope alive by scheduling staff-level meetings between the two sides for next month. If you're wondering what neoconservatives and other Republican hawks are going to say about this you have two choices: >>>

عواقب شوم این بن‌‌بست برای ایران روشن است: اجرای تحریم‌‌های فلج‌‌کننده نفتی و مالی از دو هفته دیگر، احتمال تشدید تحریم‌‌ها از سوی غرب درماه‌‌های آینده، و افزایش خطر حمله نظامی به ایران پس از انتخابات آمریکا در ماه نوامبر. نمایندگان رژیم ایران، اما، ظاهرا از عواقب این بن‌‌بست احساس نگرانی نکرده‌‌اند>>>

At a dinner gathering last March I was half hoping the guest of honor would decline my request for an interview. If the conversation put him in a positive light most of my Iranian friends would never talk to me again. I wasn’t the only person at the party who felt uneasy about breaking bread with the former crown prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi. The whole idea behind this gathering of forty or so expats was to see if various pre-revolution foes could find a way to form a unified secular front against the Islamic Republic>>>

علی شریعتی از یک سو طرحِ جانشینِ امام زمان را در بینِ روحانیت جا می‌اندازد و از دگر سو پیشاپیش غیرِ دمکراتیک بودنِ انتخابات را توجیه کرده و با شگفتی ولی فقیه را نه پاسخ گویِ ایده‌ها و ایده‌آل‌ها و نیاز‌های مردم بلکه پاسخ گویِ قانونِ امام زمان ارزیابی می‌کند>>>

The negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program during the past few months have produced nothing more than a diplomatic dance in the face of persistent Iranian ploys for time coupled with intransigence on key issues. In failing to reach a negotiated settlement, the conflict with Tehran is inching closer toward a point of no return, where Israel might decide that the circumstances warrant a unilateral attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities>>>
IMMIGRATION

President Obama has issued an executive order putting a stop on the deportation of young (below 30-years old) undocumented immigrants who have lived here for more than five years and have attended school without criminal records. The fact that the majority of these folks are from south of the US border should not distract us from the reality that many Iranian youth can also benefit from this presidential decree>>>

I can claim confidently that out of the official statistic of 98% of so-called Muslims in Iran, a great percentage of them are what I call Muslims by default, an army of pretenders. Since they are born into a Muslim family and raised in Iran, they inherit the family’s religion and thus automatically become Muslim. Had they been born in a Western country to a Christian family, they would have been Christian for sure>>>

شب سیاه مبدل به یک سحر گردد

که هر چه باده بنوشی خمار تر گردد؟

THE last round of nuclear negotiations with Iran ended in stalemate, and prospects appear dim for a breakthrough at next week’s meeting in Moscow. Two central factors are driving Washington’s negotiation strategy at this point. The first is Congressional obstructionism and President Obama’s limited room to maneuver in an election year. The second is outsize expectations about what the current sanctions against Iran can achieve. Both must be abandoned if talks are to succeed>>>
JUSTICE

Survivors and families of the victims of the 1988 massacre have taken the matter into their own hands. In 2007, they have come together to form the Iran Tribunal, modeled on the Russell Tribunal set up by British philosopher Bertrand Russell and French writer Jean-Paul Sartre in 1966 to examine American intervention in Vietnam, and the subsequent Russell Tribunals on Chile, Iraq and Argentine. Like these tribunals, the Iran Tribunal won't have any legal status, but will act as a tribunal of conscience>>>

For some time, a thought has bothered me. The more I read about the accomplishments – and failures - of Iranian immigrants, the clearer it becomes how we are still each on our own. Culturally, we were raised as an individualist nation. After decades of exposure to teamwork, most of us still do our best works alone. Group function is an acquired skill we have to yet master. No doubt, many will disagree with this, because after all, we can’t even begin to count the number of Iranian-American organizations and nor could one deny their accomplishments>>>

به نظر می رسد که موضوع اصلی در این فیلم، رو در روئی کهنه و نو؛ سنّت و نوگرائی و سرانجام خرد و اندیشه در مقابل احساس باشد. تمام تراژدی از آنجا شروع می شود که نادر کهنه گرائی، سنّت و احساس را بر خرد گرائی و نو اندیشی برتری می دهد و پدرش را بجای همسر و دخترش انتخاب می کند. پدر پیر مبتلا به فراموشی در این فیلم، نمایندۀ سنّت، کهنه گرائی و احساس است>>>
