NEGOTIATION

If the upcoming talks between Iran and P5+1 are really Iran's last chance, as Obama put it, then everything should be put on the table and an agreement be reached because the alternative, war, must be prevented. This article is going to be my two cents worth on the upcoming talks between Iran and the "P5+1" powers--the United States, the UK, Russia, China, France, and Germany--reportedly scheduled for April 13 or April 14>>>

در شرایط سختی که در ایران امروز می‌گذرد، و ایران امروز از آن می‌گذرد، این سؤال مطرح است که چه کسی/نهادی می‌تواند از جانب مردم ایران سخن بگوید و یا مردم ایران را نمایندگی کند. مدعیان این امر البته کم نیستند: کسانی که مرتبا از مردم سخن می‌گویند و این که مردم چه می‌خواهند و چه نمی‌خواهند. این ادعاها را نمی‌توان به محک زد>>>

A recent federal case against an American charitable organization, (United States of America v. Mehrdad Yasrebi and Child Foundation, 05-CR-413 KI (Oregon)), reveals the unfortunate state of Muslim-Americans, the potential of peoples’ diplomacy, and the legal and practical problems with economic sanctions>>>

Pahani is a fighter who can dish it out as well as take it. Last year, while under house arrest waiting for the outcome of his appeal, he made a home video mocking the ban order on his filmmaking. Technically, the work is not a film, hence the title, This Is Not a Film. Trapped in his apartment, the director doesn’t have a wide choice of locations for his unfilm. There’s the kitchen, the dining room, the living room, and the balcony, with one intriguing dialog taking place in the building elevator

زیر لب به معشوقه ام می گفتم اجازه بده امروز تا آخر عمرمان در خاطر هر دویمان بماند. چون این تن اغوشی نبود یکی شدن در هم بود. حس اینکه با کسی یکی شده باشم امان تازه ای به من داده بود. سالها بود که هیچ کسی نتوانسته بود حس غریب عاشقی را به زبان و درون متلاشی شده ام بچشاند و معشوقه ی شرقی من فقط در چند ساعت به راحتی آب خوردن حسش را در من جاری کرده بود>>>

دلم از حسرت و غم غرق بخون بود و کباب
چشم دل روشن از این گریه خونین و پر آب
دردی دل بود این خون و پس از صاف شدن
می طپد در قفس سینه مرا جام شراب >>>

If President Barack Obama and Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei do not compromise at the upcoming nuclear talks next Saturday, the region will -- in the words of a diplomat involved in the matter -- head towards "total war." For the sake of world peace, both sides must compromise. Yet, there are some indications that the next round of talks may differ little from previous failed discussions... the talks have often been about imposing terms of capitulation on the other>>>

During the Cold War, the West did not have much choice but to pursue a policy of deterrence, because the Soviets already had the bomb. But with Iran, we do have a choice. Iran is on the way to having a bomb, but with enough international pressure, it can still be stopped. Just because the Cold War ended without disaster, does not mean it was destined to end that way. In Brzezinski's own words, "We might have had [a problem]">>>

The Egyptians are left with not much of a choice. It’s either Charybdis and stricter application of Islamic law or Scylla, the secular but repressive dictatorship of yet another general. If they vote for the Brotherhood, they will have to accept a moderate Islamic state, except that there is no such thing. The French-Algerian journalist Mohammad Sifaoui, a secular Muslim himself, brilliantly demonstrates that there is no moderate Islamic state as there is no moderate Islam>>>

I’m not asking that DC Comics create a plethora of Iranian characters, or that they should only be portrayed as heroes, or even that once created, they should never be killed. I understand narrative needs, primary characters and supporting ones, emotional beats and motivation. But when there are absolutely NO characters of a certain ethnic or cultural background in your stories, to casually kill off the ONLY example of one, after a mere 8 pages, seems very counterproductive to me>>>

واقعيت اينست که ما بعنوان يک ملت سر هر بزنگاه تاريخى اشتباه کرده ايم و گناهش را به گردن اجنبى انداخته ايم تا از خود سلب مسئوليت کنيم. ما ايرانيان که تمدنى دو هزار و پانصد ساله داريم عاشق سينه چاک گذشته هاى دور هستيم چرا که از زمان حالمان بشدت شرمنده ايم. کافى است نگاهى به تاريخ اخيرخودمان بيندازيم تا روشن شود چرا به دوهزار سال پيش مينازيم و دلمان را به يادها و به بودها خوش ميکنيم
