Moby Dick Explains it all

Persian food is always best served like revenge, slowly

I'm in DC for a job/project, and whenever I'm in DC for a job/project or for any other reason, right around the corner from PAAIA, and about 16 blocks from NIAC, too far to walk (poor NIAC!), on the opposite side of the corner from one of the only remaining Krispy Kreme shops around, when I can, when I remember, I try and frequent my favorite east coast Chelokababi. Moby Dick House of Kabob. Before you say it, skip it, trust me, I'll deal with it at the end>>>

"چهل مَتل از کودکی" نام کتاب تازه ایست از خانم فرشتۀ کوثر. طنز شیرین خانم کوثر در این متل ها هم همچون دو کتاب دیگرش خود را چنان که باید، می نمایاند و از ظرافت فکری، نازک اندیشی وخوش ذوقی نویسنده حکایت می کند. طنز کوثر در این کتاب یک جمله یک سطری نیست بلکه آن را می توان دربافت و رابطه داستانها واشخاص مختلف با یکدیگر یافت>>>

STORY

Take Our Daughters to Work Day

Nasrin did not say anything about her day at the salon

by siamak vossoughi
17-Jan-2012 (2 comments)
Take your daughter with you to the place where you work, the school had said. Take her to see where you work so that she can see herself working some day. Girls need to see that they can become anything they want to be. I do not want her to see where I work, Nasrin thought. I do not want her to see me sweeping up the hair after a customer leaves. I would rather tell her about Iran, about the school and my classroom and how the other teachers used to come to me for advice. I would rather tell her about that>>>

Assassinations with a Message

Life expectancy is short for Iranian nuclear scientists

by Haggai Haggai Carmon
15-Jan-2012 (2 comments)
Does the killing of nuclear scientists stop or delay the Iranian nuclear weapons plan? Hardly. There are thousands of scientists and technicians on the job, and killing a few dozen individuals does harm the development of nuclear bombs, but only marginally. However there are ancillary by-products which could be the intended side effect of each of these operations: to instill fear and practically immobilize other scientists still working>>>

ترور دستاویزی برای خشونت متقابل

بیانیه محکومیت ترور کارشناسان هسته ای

ما به عنوان مخالفان فعال جنگ، ترور مصطفی احمدی روشن از مدیران تاسیسات هسته ای نطنز را که در 21 دی ماه در تهران اتفاق افتاد، بمانند هر ترور دیگری، شدیدا محکوم می کنیم. ترور در هر شکلی محکوم است و با هر هدفی صورت گیرد، اقدامات صلح طلبانه را خنثی می کندو مشروعیت و دستاویزی برای خشونت و ترور متقابل بوجود می آورد>>>

U.S. meets resistance on harsh Iranian sanctions

by Ardeshir Ommani
15-Jan-2012 (10 comments)
If this article were written to advise non-existing rational leaders of the White House and the U.S. Congress, my strong recommendation to them, at risk of being called naïve, would be that they should immediately announce that the U.S. has no plan of going to war against Iran and declare all sanctions are halted and negotiations over Iran's nuclear program would begin. The reason for such an advice is that the present sanctions regime and further aggravation and possible war with Iran are utterly going against U.S. interests and credibility>>>

سالی پدرم که نمایشنامه نویس رادیو ایران بود برای من یک رادیوی ترانزیستوری کوچک خرید و من هر نیمه شب بعد از شنیدن «داستان شب» به برنامه ای از رادیو ایران گوش می دادم که در آن زمان توسط "ایرج گرگین" یکی از خوش صدا ترین گوینده های رادیو پخش می شد و این برنامه که اسم آن را بیاد ندارم اختصاص داشت به معرفی و پخش موسیقی کشورهای آمریکای جنوبی>>>

Assassinations Boosting Nuclear Program

Killing nuclear scientists pushes people to side with military regime

by Omid Memarian
13-Jan-2012 (157 comments)
The suspected assassination of yet another scientist linked to Iran’s nuclear program is renewing questions over whether such attempts will slow enrichment efforts, or push Iranian leaders to more aggressively pursue their nuclear ambitions. But how is all this playing out in Iran? On Wednesday, a Tehran bomb blast killed Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, who served as deputy director of commercial affairs at the Natanz nuclear facility>>>

To avoid war

Clearly, then, the world is about to witness yet another devastating war in the Middle East region, the ramifications and reverberations of which will no doubt affect world politics, the world economy, and the Middle East region for decades to come. A simple reassessment, therefore, of the root cause of the problem might help guide politicians and policymakers in the right direction for dealing with this horrific prospect>>>

نیت رضا پهلوی، ماهیت نهاد سلطنت را عوض نمی کند

توصیه ام این است که از هم اکنون در سیاست مداخله نکند

by Ali Keshtgar
13-Jan-2012 (54 comments)
سلطنت و هر قدرت موروثی و انتصابی دیگری در هر کجای جهان بویژه درایران میل به خودکامگی دارد. به همین دلیل هم هست که در اکثر دموکراسی های جهان این نهاد بکلی از میان رفته است. در کشورهای بریتانیا، سوئد و یا اسپانیا نیز به نهاد سلطنت همچون یکی از اشیاء موزه تاریخ نگاه می کنند. و پادشاه از هرگونه دخالت در سیاست منع شده است، چرا که تجربه تلخ دخالت این نهاد در سیاست را فراموش نکرده اند>>>

ما شروع کردیم به حرف زدن با خودمان و گاه گاهی با دیوار و کف چوبی سلول های در هم فشرده از خون و چرکاب. همان طور که در سلول های آهنی در هم ریخته شده از رد شلاق و باتون را به رویمان می بستند پتو را روی سرمان گذاشتیم تا خدای نکرده بازجو و نگهبان ها اشک صورتمان را نبینند>>>
