More and more research is done to revive the pure Persian vocabulary so that once again they can take their rightful place which for centuries has been occupied by Arabic. This is admirable, but I am sadly reminded of a building tented to fight old termites while there’s a flood on the way! The grave damage done by the Arab influence has left its scars and we are so wrapped up in passionate resentment that it has blinded us to the new blows. I can’t help but ask myself, is there a difference?>>>
CYRUS

چندی ست آمده‌ام لندن و از اقبال خوش توی محله‌ای خانه گرفته‌ام که بهشت را می‌ماند. تو روحیه‌ام، روش زندگی‌ام، تا حدی باورها و طرز فکرم، روابطم و حتی وزنم تاثیر گذاشته است، آن هم از نوع بسزا. اولین روزی که پیاده توی محل چرخی زدم دچار قلیان روحی شدم. با دیدن اولی شاد شدم، بعد هیجان‌زده و به ته خیابان که رسیدم امانم بریده بود. در آخر به این باور رسیدم که تمام دنیا دست اندر کار این بوده تا این آرزوی تحقق یافته، توی جعبه دست من باشد، زولبیا بامیه. احساس غرور کردم>>>

In my suitcase of diaspora I keep
An isolated sunset, murdered crows
A patch of grey sky that
cracks and falls
The patient stone of reminiscence
that turns into a hollow medicine
A dervish trading poetry for food
The glaring gaze of Medusa within

RESTRAINT

Simply put, U.S.-Iran tensions have long been a powder keg, overflowing with nuclear programs, human rights abuses, Stuxnet and secret assassinations. And the alleged terror plot against the Saudi Ambassador shows how easily a single incident can spark a wider conflict. Without serious efforts to defuse a crisis that is steadily spiraling out of control, we are on the precipice of a major war in the region. This is why a containment policy can turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy>>>
PLOT

Despite what many pundits assert, even if it were established through irrefutable evidence that Iran was indeed behind the foiled plot to assassinate the Saudi’s ambassador to Washington, International law would still not grant the U.S or Saudi Arabia a right to armed reprisal. In fact, even if the assassination attempt had been carried out successfully, it would still have been quite difficult for the State Department’s Legal Adviser to assert ground for a lawful use of force against Iran>>>
REACTION

For at least a solid year now, I have been reading the ridiculous claims (usually quoting academia) about the pointlessness of sanctions. I question this especially today with the more than obvious and ever so clear revelation that Iran has been busted now dead to rights, having plotted, bought and paid for an assassination of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the US >>>

How has the Islamic Republic of Iran persisted when all indications point to its imminent collapse? Indeed, one of the most stylized facts to emerge from the study of democracy and dictatorship in the last quarter-century involves the robust relationship between a nation’s political elites and its prospects for democracy. As elites become divided in authoritarian regimes, the state becomes increasingly vulnerable to these fissures and inevitably collapses>>>
PRESSURE

تنها اقدام جامعه جهانی از طریق نهادهای حکومتی و سازمان ملل ممکن است بتواند تأثیر عملی بر رفتار رژیم ایران بگذارد. از این رو باید از اقدام اخیر اتحادیه اروپا در تحریم کسانی که در نقض حقوق بشر در ایران دست داشته‌اند استقبال کرد، و از جامعه جهانی خواست که این گونه تحریم‌ها را توسعه دهد. هم‌چنین باید برای کشاندن پرونده حقوق بشر رژیم ایران به مراجع بین‌المللی و از جمله شورای امنیت سازمان ملل تلاش کرد>>>

بالاخره امروز این فرصت دست داد تا فیلم تحسین شده ی "جدایی نادر از سیمین" را ببینم. می دانم دیگر تب این فیلم خوابیده و نوشتن نقدی بر آن کاری است کلیشه ای آن هم از دید یک تماشاگر سینما دوست نه منتقد سینمایی! امروز می خواهم بنویسم چون درد تمام وجودم را فراگرفته و حس می کنم هجوم بغض گیر کرده در گلویم و باقیمانده ی اشک هایی که نریختم طوری در وجودم تلنبار شده که هر لحظه احساس خفگی می کنم! >>>

“They’ve hacked into our accounts. Why don't they just take the trouble of responding to all my unopened emails too?” Samira’s reaction to news of a major cyberattack operation on Iranian netizens is typical of the psychic tension, even paranoia - but also acid scorn - provoked in them by living under the shadow of permanent surveillance. The number of internet-users whose emails were intercepted in this incident may have been around 300,000 (most of them Iranian), but the insinuating power of its invasiveness was to make everyone feel watched>>>

For the most part, the Oslo judges get it right when awarding the Nobel Peace Prize. From Albert Schweitzer to Aung San Suu Kyi, there has been a score of extraordinary awardees. Other choices have been more dubious, even absurd (Henry Kissinger) or perplexing (Obama). Also, a number of lackluster recipients receive a nod from the Oslo committee for not always valid political reasons>>>

بارها شنیده ایم که به نسل ما لقب نسل سوخته داده اند ولی من گاهی فکر می کنم ما چیزی فراتر از سوخته هستیم و تقریبا باید گفت جزغاله شده ایم! مهر ماه که از راه می رسد ناگهان هجوم خاطرات سال های مدرسه خواب را از چشمان ما می رباید. بعد انگار مغز آدم فلاش بک می کند به چند سال قبل تر... سال های جنگ... آژیر قرمز... بی پولی... بحران نفت... صف های طویل... خرید کوپنی... لباس های رنگ و رو رفته... مرگ موسیقی و ترانه و تولد آنچه آن ها سرود می نامیدند>>>

یکی از تهمتهایی که روحانیت شیعه همیشه به دیگر باوران وارد ساخته است رابطه با دول دیگر و خیانت به ملت در راستای خدمت به این قدرتهای خارجی است. از جمله بهائیان، یهودیان، اعضای برخی احزاب سیاسی و متجددین غیر مذهبی از این افترا بر کنار نبوده اند، حال آن که مروری بر تاریخ معاصر نشان می دهد که این در واقع روحانیت شیعه بودده است که در پی اهداف سودجویانه به نقشه های استعماری انگلیس در منطقه خاور میانه و جنوب آسیا کمک نموده است>>>
