Iranian of the Day

Nothing or no one should be absolute

She had done a great job to promote free and equal social base in Iran for the realities that exist in Iran. Yet no one should be taken as a package and not be questioned.

The important issue is to understand the valid case that she makes and has fought for, and challenge the ideas that you don't see fit. That will require thinking and investigating, analyzing thought process, which then evolves you to a higher point that you currently are. This way you will have the best of the both world.

Waste of time

she says war is not the answer and that's fine, nobody disputes that. Then she points to negotiatoon. Negotiation with whom? and about what? who is in charge over there? how can you even have a dialogue with some one whose
brain is frozen in 12th century and counting days for fictional imam zaman to come back! How can you have dialogue with people who will hang teen agers from the crain on broad day light, stone women to death and chop limbs and eyes?
Honestly would any of you fine people even consider inviting these people to your home for one hour much less have a dialogue with them?

Obama has lived in Pakistan. Do you realize how valuable that is

See the world and other cultures, no matter how backward you might think them to be, helps in making decisions.... like say..... war. Bush didn't know where anything was on a map, he didn't know the differences in Islam, he didn't know ANYTHING.

Obama supports an attack on Pakistan, or anywhere in the world, where Osama Bin Laden, the enemy of the state is being protected and harbored without the proper action by the state OBL is staying in. That makes a hell of a lot of sense if you want to exact justice forwhat was done in the USA on 9-11

Women greater leaders?

I'm female and I object to such a statement, although I agree with her anti-violent stance.

CNN interview with Ebadi

With all due respect to Ms. Ebadi, I wish she would appear a little more informed in conferences and interviews. It seems she is not aware of Sara Palin's positions on women's issues such as abortion. Sara Palin would not permit abortion even for cases of incest and rape. How would a person like her with such a reactionary view help towards a better life and better world?

Honestly,Ebadi is too conservative for my taste. It is true, she is not a politician, it is true she is a human rights activist, however she should learn to answer the questions rather than, like Ahmadinijad (forgive the comparison!) twisting the question and repeating it in an affirmative form. She should remember there are some people who listen and there are some people who can make a distinction between an answer and an evasion. 

Great Iranian Woman

She is in the trenches fighting the ignorance and repressions every day of her life. THANK YOU MRS. EBADI YOU ARE MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

****WHAT HAVE WE DONE LATELY!?!?!?!**** 

Live from New York, It's CNN!

Everything must have entertainment value on American TV. I
don’t agree with Ebadi on many issues, but I respect her as a person. This lady was reporting on Ebadi as she is a movie star or a Hollywood celebrity. The way she was waving her hands around and saying let's forget about everything and be friends again reminded me of those skits on S.N.L.

Ebadi is very smart & Diplomatic

She has done a lot & considering brutal IRI.

Concerened Iranian

Consider this if she has done what you wanted her to do to say: "Islamic Republic is the root of all these problems" (which is true) she would be as irrelevant and useless as rest of us. As Mr. K**r said, what have we done lately!

She is not a leader!

Anyone who thinks she is a "hero" a "leader" or a "pinoeer" needs to consider this: She has not even ONCE in her life said that the Islamic Republic is the root of all these problems. She does not even criticize Islam. In fact, when she complains about the government she says they should act "more Islamic." She received a Nobel Prize and she should be very happy. But in light of the heinous crimes that this government has committed upon its people, she is very quiet and she simply says that there are "some problems" with the system. What a waste of a rare Nobel prize! She will continue to support the government and she will ensure that they will be there for a long time. Not even once has she said that this sysyem should be overthrown. Not once!

YOU ARE MY HERO!

She is in the trenches fighting the ignorance and repressions every day of her life. THANK YOU MRS. EBADI YOU ARE MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    WHAT HAVE WE DONE LATELY!?!?!?! 

‫زنده باد زن ایرانی

‫

هرگز نمیرد آنکه دلش زنده شد به عشق    ‫ثبت است بر جریدهء عالم دوام ما

...

زنان ایرانی‌ که از حقوق انسانی‌ خود محرومند ، سالهاست بدون خشونت و نفرت در طلب حقوق خود می‌‌کوشند.

تلاش صبورانه این شیر زنان قابل تقدیر است.

Immortal Gurad

Why is it that after the revolution Iran and Iranian is being pronounced differently???
For example now they pronounce it Iraaanian while previously it was pronounced Irainian.

Great idea!

She is so right in saying to both Iran and the US to put the dark past behind them and head for a fresh beginning in diplomatic relations. It's a very wise suggestion.

Wome are the leaders and the Queens

I believe Iranian women will change Iran.

Iranian men are cowards and can't even defend their honor and pride.

This is not the first time Iranian women have taken charge.

I am very optimistic they will do it again. I hope the men will follow suit and support them.

Amir

MORE POWER to Mrs. Ebadi

She is in the trenches fighting the ignorance and repressions every day of her life. THANK YOU MRS. EBADI YOU ARE MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    WHAT HAVE WE DONE LATELY!?!?!?! 

women make better leaders?

Sad to see Iranian feminism is stills stuck in first wave rhetoric. But I appreciate the antiwar message which should be yet-another reminder to forced 'regime-change' Tehrangelesi's that they speak for no one in Iran.

Obama favors attack on Pakistan

If he favors attach on Pakistan, don't be surprised that he will take the same action on Iran. He will be tested and he would not want to look weak. Don't forget the moment he gets elected, he will govern so he can get re-elected.

All you Iranians, don't get fooled by Obama's !! Just read his first book before voting.

I am surprised McCain campaign has not used Obama's own words to attach...there is so much hate in his book!!1

...and then we'll have democracy.

I think the chaos in Iran should continue until Imam Zaman appears, and then someone should assassinate him in broad daylight in front of cameras so everyone would see that he is clearly dead, and then his body should be examined by the Coroner’s Office and documented that he is indeed dead, and then buried and guarded around the clock and six months later his grave opened up and his bones examined to be sure he is dead, and then we'll have democracy.

women right ?

so funny

In canada must of are problems created by women they prefer look after porn or sex....to what canadian need is better man and women stay in same power and equal

I love to see the day

All the incompetents, corrupt and unqualified members of the Iranian leadership to be striped of their illegal power and transferred to women of this land. I am a man and sick of these idiots. I love the women of Iran. You give them authority and they will show you "ye man maast cheghadr kareh dareh".

I think she's right

I think she's right about women making better leaders.  I would love to see women occupy 50% or more of Iranian seats of governance.

optimistic and hopeful

Dear PartyGirl

Thanks for posting this video clip. I have a lot of admiration and respect for Dr Ebadi and I have to admit that I am glad she was not specific about US or Iran's elections. She is making a stand for women again and I agree that in general women have a more peaceful nature and aren't considered equal anywhere in the world. 

I do not believe that Palin's views and political ambitions nor Hillary's are of typical women, unfortunately due to this inequality, only the more "masculin-minded" women have the opportunity to achieve higher positions.

Her optimistic and hopeful predictions gave me hope :0)
