The difference

2010-01-05T11:12:00.001-08:00

Last month I sent emails to both Virginia senators to support Obama health care plan and they both replied to me .It was especially interesting to see they both took time to read and respond to my email.I am sure that maybe they did not right the email themselves but one of their staff does the job but still they answered to my emails within acceptable time.

Years ago I sent letters to the members of Iranian Parliament regarding the problems I had for my university admission.

I never received an answer even a general one.

Revolution? Maybe….

2009-12-28T12:32:00.001-08:00

For people like me who still clearly remember the events and clashes of Iran’s 1979 revolution these days are a very critical reminder.I clearly can compare the two happenings together and let me tell you there is many many similarities.

some people might say that well Shah was not this much brutal and I agree but let me remind you that the guards and the armed forces that are in the streets can not always keep their distance I should also remind you that most of the forces in the streets are very young and vulnerable to the things they see and hear.So although i absolutely condemn the system for the brutality I also can understand why the protesters try to cover the security forces and take them out of harms way.Do not forget that these are Iranians too and when the system collapses all of Iranians and I insist ALL the Iranians should learn to live and respect each other and this includes all the sepahis and basijis and Mullahs.

Nobel peace prize speech

2009-12-11T13:15:00.001-08:00

Well the last people I thought would praise Obama for his speech were Sara Palin and Newt Gingrich but hey as they say Newt happens right??

The worlds biggest dictator

2009-12-10T07:50:00.001-08:00

Well I guess you all heard that Iran’s leader has finally got an international recognition and received the respectful title of the world’s biggest dictator. I guess now it is time for Mike Myers or any other comedian (preferably Iranian) to make a movie out of this very respectful title for him.

don’t you all think so???

You see now that we already had somebody who stands among people like Obama and Nelson Mandela as a Nobel peace prize winner we clearly needed some Iranian to stand next to Hitler ,Stalin and Pol pot, good job lad you did it.

If only Chaplin was still alive…….

TARP funds

2009-12-08T07:27:00.001-08:00

Yesterday it was in the news that the tarp funds have extra money as much as 200 billion $ in them just because the government policy was good enough so the market did not slope down as much as it was expected before.Now Obama administration wants to use this money or part of it to create jobs ,well first you think this is a perfect choice right? yes it is but if you ask our republican friends they are all against it why because they say it will add up to the budget deficit and the money should go back so it will not add to the deficit well my question is that do you prefer to have deficit now or later?

I mean if the jobless numbers grows further and further don’t you think that at some point government has to do some thing about it any way?so doing some thing means spending some thing and spending money means deficit right? no our republican friends say no government is not there to worry about people it is just there to govern but what is really the meaning of governing then?

To me more people on the jobs means more people paying taxes and more revenue for the government .This is as simple as it is.

Flowers for Iranians

2009-12-07T08:27:00.001-08:00

As you see Iranian police as they have promised are offering flowers to Iranian people.when I was living in Iran I was always wondering what the heck are they talking about in their own media?if you would just listen to the Iranian radio and TV and just read their newspapers you think that in this god forsaken land all the people are in love with the big brother (the grand leader) and have nothing to do except praying for his long and prosperous life; what a stupid notion.

Obama With us or with them?

2009-11-10T11:26:00.000-08:00

Many Iranian people here think that Obama has not done any thing to help Iranians.Well let us be clear here who should help Iranians ?? Iranians themselves or Americans?
Iranians have this sick beliefe that whatever happens in Iran is because of what one superpower or another does or does not . Don't we want to finally break this vicious circle and for once believe that making or breaking of Iran is and can only be done by Iranians themselves??

2009-11-09T11:53:00.001-08:00

Again it is a very long time that I have not post any thing here.The reason more than any thing else was laziness I can give you a tin of reasons but they will be all false it is just that darn laziness.
Ok enough of that.As I guess whoever in the world who has the slightest interest in Iran and Iranian knows the Green movement is getting more and more intense and powerfull by the minute.And i mean by the minute.
From now on i try to converse more and more the Ideas and messages of this huge movement here and try to investigate it more from an immigrant point of view.

Some guy named Hoder

2007-07-13T18:51:00.000-07:00

An old Iranian proverb says that tell me who is your friend so I can tell you who you are so since khomeini is not only your friend but your hero I send this ling so everybody can have a better knowledge about new hoder.http://www.sharemation.com/iranejavid/hokm001.gif

Hello

2007-04-05T06:16:00.000-07:00

Hello stranger .Welcome home.

2006-11-08T18:53:00.000-08:00

It is a long time that I have written a post.But today is a very special day here in the US: Democrats are back to be majority in the senate as well as congress and this as many people say is the end of bush era.I was very happy when the Bush senior got the boot from white house and now I am equally happy that American people (this time including me) are kicking out his son's party in congress and hopefully in two years from white house. This might even bring some changes in Iran, let's wait and see.

2005-02-28T08:55:00.000-08:00

Have you read this article by Ebrahim Nabavi .Well for me although I knew many of his examples but it really was an eye opener.I mean look at us aren't we really messed up our selves??On top of all the examples that he gives us in this really fantastic article I can give you another one:we all know that using seatbelt during riding a car is a common sense to save our lives right??? Wrong your fellow citizens even here in the US do not like to use it ;Why well nabavi has explained it in a very eloquent way .I just like nabavi think that our problem is our selves what we believe is right and wrong and in one word lets face it our culture is not fir for living in this world at this time .maybe it was good for a hundred year ago but not now lets try to find ways to solve this huge problem that is killing us one way or another lets think about it.I will talk about this more.

2005-02-12T18:23:00.000-08:00

2005-02-12T16:41:00.000-08:00

Long time ago when our country was engulfed by revolution when the first parliamentary election was on the way ,I remember one of a very welcoming signs that was just for the poor candidate not to be elected by people; in the leaflet you could read some thing like this: We support Mr .... The popular party(toodeh) of Iran.This was absolutely enough for the poor candidate to collect all the hatred of people in that time who by different means still remembered the role of this party in the cue against mosadegh and obviously hated it.
now just imagine that the same thing is being applied to freedom and democracy just look at this article in my dear friends blog regarding Michael leaden and president Bush and other republicans in the US politics.http://rezansr.blogspot.com/2005/02/az-chaleh-too-chaah.html
My answer to these friend and others like hossein Derakhshan is that dear friend don't you think this way is some how crazy to object an idea just because it is being said by Ledeen or Bush ??Derakhshan might be very young to remember the fear of Iraq war or the bombardments or the war of cities or missiles but I am not I sure remember the fear of those days and some how can imagine what will a shock and awe campaign brings to Tehran or Isfahan or other Iranian cities but lets be practical friends first of all the bombs are not fallen yet and there is a long way to reach to that Point second we as Iranians are the only people who can instead of looking at this situation as a danger make an opportunity out of it .I mean who is there not to know that ledeen and bush are following their own agenda??But hey this was the case all the time wasn't it??Wasn't it the case during Iran's revolution for Americans I mean obviously Iranian revolution some how was against American agenda at that time but in Practice they were able to use the opportunity for their own benefit and we know that they did it the best way we know?? Can't we as Iranians be atleast once just like them I mean lets face it should we abandon our perusing of freedom and democracy just because Ledeen and Bush say we support democracy in Iran.This good friend talks about the rallies in Tehran that tens of thousands of people took part to say no to the US here he is wrong again lets look at this from a statistical point of view .Tens of thousands means at most the number of people was 100000 but the problem is that Teheran's population is somewhere between 12 to 15 million and considering the fact that the population of country is 70 million it means that almost 17-20% of population live in Tehran so out of lets say 17% of population just almost 100000 people took part in this show so with a simple calculation we can say that the number of people against US and supporting such point of view can be:600000 people you might say Ok people in Tehran are different and they are so fed up with the regime and in other cities and villages it will be different(that we know it is not like that )ok we just double this figure ... Again we reach to a number of 1200000
lets be more generous and say 2000000 people think the way you think then just look at it 68 million people are against this point of View aren't they??
Good friend of mine please when you start doing some thing like sending a letter to Ledeen and messing up yourself and others please think again.is it really the way to deal with this Issue I mean ok you sent an email to Ledeen and he sent a not so polite reply to you so what ??what did you gain from this?? lets look at this issue from another point of View:
For 8 years all the freedom seekers in Iran and all the bloggers and all the journalists And all in all ;all the people of Iran put a huge pressure on the system to change we know this but look at the result :What happened other than having prisons full of journalists and even many of them in graveyards??And then just Imagine just one word from Bush and it pushed Rafsanjany to openly come out and say that he intends to change constitution to limitate Leaders Powers .If this does not mean any thing what does??
My dear friend opportunities come very late and go very soon lets use them to the best of our selves and our people not just destroy them because it comes from bush or ledeen or any body else lets grab them and use them to the best of our ability to create a better future for ourselves and our kids.

2004-09-22T11:08:00.000-07:00

I saw that a couple of the bloggers outside and inside of Iran got very angry with this being Emrooz of many bloggers they again for the thousandth time remind us of the crimes of these reformists and what they did in the first years of IRI .Well I do noit want to support reformists many of them should be sent to a just trial and courts should decide about them but what about us?? I mean what good does it do that now that we are all facing a monster named IRI to just stay there and say they are all criminals first of all this is not our right to judge them they should be tried in a fair and just court with Jury present and have the access to all the information to defend themselves and if we want to deny this right for them so then we are just like them .On the other hand well I think even saddam in his prison has the right to post a web log and if somebody wants to deny his right I think we should even defend his right after all isnt freedom of speech what we all seek??and the freedon of speech is for every body even a monster like saddam .Lets think aliitle bit and lets get together to solve our problems in a logical and fair way nit just with shouting names at eachother we are all humans after all.

امروز

Today and all this week I will be emrooz too I have no connection to them I even do not like tajzadeh to tell you the truth after all he wants to keep this stupid IRI but I think everybody has the right to talk freely even tajzadeh .

2004-09-04T16:43:00.000-07:00

A Couple of days a go I saw that one of these mullas in the friday prayer has mentioned that Rezazadeh has introduced Abolfazl to world.Well I have no objection that with mentioning abolfazl every time by rezazadeh this will become a case for the western journalists to go and cvheck who is this abolfazl whom his name is always mentiond by the strongest man of the world .Butr I have another concearn here: if after years and years of preaching and waisting peoples money and having millions and millions of mullas and preachers and so on it is up to a weight lifter top introduce an islamic figure to the world what is the purpose of these guys any way isnt it then appropriate to say that these guys are the most useless people of the world whose expiry time has long been passed??why should we keep thses guys any way what benefit do they add to human society? at least you have never heard that a cristian priest has never claimed that paul or mathew have been introduced to the world by an american or italian athlete .

2004-08-31T11:39:00.000-07:00

It is a very long time that i did not blog and many things has happened during this long time after a very long period of waiting Shahla is with me atlast (what a joy) and we are decorating home and it is not easy at all .On the other hand we had chance to see artmis and reza in our trip to LA and talk to amir in Iran.In iran the situation is getting worse and worse there is no happiness and no hope every thing seems so dark that even talking about it is not easy god knows when this finishes but I hope soon.

Any way I hope that I will be more persistant this time and post more regularly.

For people who are nice enough to take a look from time to time please do so more often you might see more interesting things here.

2004-05-16T09:19:00.000-07:00

Have you read this new article of Ebrahim Nabavi?? Well I guess most of did .Here he starts talikng to god(as if nobody has done such thing before)well it is very strange from a very distinctive follower of shariaty (or better exfollower)to right such thing .you see god has created us the way that we creat a computer software isnt it stupid to think that a computer software has the right to complain to us why we have created another software to delete a bunch of software with it???I mean god is not our velayateh faghih who is just a small creature like ourselves god is our creator Mr nabavi and he has every right to do whatever he wants to do with us.On the otherhand my friend have you forgotten that only 20 years a go god was totally in your personal team god was the one who was Ghasem and Jabbar??where was your complaints to god when they started killing those poor people in kurdistan or other parts of Iran in the beginning of revoloution??where were your complaints to god or his sign?Ayatollah on earth ??god has created us and given us the choice to be an angel or an evil being an angel or evil is totally our choice do not put the responsibility and shortcomings of mankind on god .We are responsible for whatever happens in this earth nobody else.

2004-03-12T20:31:00.000-08:00

Just read this article in Iranemrooz and could not help to write this post.Remember those empty slogans of the first year of revolution ???the class less society of god??? having a society that everybody is equal and who ever who has more decency towards god has more respect ???Now just look at these stupid guys who name themselves as professors here can you believe what they say??can you belive that they suggest people to act according to their class .Werent these same assholes who were suggesting people that the Idea of a social class is created by imperialism and Islam does not have any class in the society??where is that poor country going again and again this shows that Iranian peoiple have to move and move fast mullas are making misarable people from you stop them for heavens sake stop them and soon before they destroyt every thing there.

2004-03-12T18:39:00.000-08:00

The death of the poor Director assistant in Iran shows that mullahs have no mercy .After the honey moon years of so called reform now they show the world what they are capable of .Killing and murder as well as nuclear weapon and whatever evil you can think of.Now the question is that how much Iranians want to tolerate this slow proccess of death how mush more do they want to wait for death to grab them it makes no difference if the death comes as an earth quake in a shabby house in a poor city like Bam or comes in the forth floor of an apartment building in the heart of tehran death is deat my friands and it is engulfing people in Iran liuke crazy the life there is not life it is eventual death named life .As I said befire the choice is clearly with Iranian people what do you want??life or death???

2004-03-11T17:08:00.000-08:00

Today I was thinking about what Hossein Derakhshan said in his English weblog Regarding the way he was in the khameneyee's room twice and in his interview introducing himself as the sample of todays Iranian young people .Well my question from him is what about people like me and my friends??????I mean we were by no means close to any body in any regime neither imperial or the monarchy regime we were just regular people trying to live a regular life .I myself was a regular talented guy who wrote was hopeful to his future to be bright one with being in alborz highschool not because of any special connection to any body in the government but just because of having a good average score in primary school I was hopefull that I can easily continue my academic aducation in Iran or abroad and have a regular hopefull life .But all these was crushed by Mr derakhshans very close friends and family not that I think derakhshan is to be blamed for this but what I try to say is that now he is trying to say he is the sample oif Iranian youth I just want to say that he is not ,Manyt Iranian young people are just like me.People who have no connection with the governing Mullas people who they themselves or their parrents were disqualified to go to the University just because they were not good moslems people whose marriage wowes has not been told by khameneyee or any body like him.During early eighties the time of massacres in Iran I was very close to be one of those who were executed in those dark years not because I had any political affiliation because I had not but just because in that dark day of attacking Mojahedin in tehran I happened to be in the streets coming back from simin english institute .Just imagine that ,can you even think that some body being arrested and taken to execution just because he was in the street in a wrong time in a wrong place???this happened my friends I was so lucky not to be one of those poor people dying for nothing in that day but I can imagine how many of people like me were killed just because they were there.Now again people like derakhshan even want to kill us the other way they want to even deny our existense I hope that derakhshan reads this blog because I just want to telkl him that we exist Mr derakhshan and if there is any proof to the Slogan oif these reformists and Iran is for all Iranians and one person has one vote you will see that the day this really happens .people like us not like any reformists will take the power easily in Iran because we simply outnumber you guys I promise you.

2004-03-10T11:22:00.000-08:00

Next week for the fifth time I am going down under to Newzealand .It is getting a regular trip for me but belive it it is not easy at all 5 hour flight from DC to La and then 12 hours to Auckland and then 2 hours to Christ church .Hey guys please pray for me.

2004-03-09T06:35:00.000-08:00

As a person whose both parents were teachers When I heard about the theachers strike in Iran I thought that I have to mention some thing here.I remember the very first year of revolution when my mother was teaching in a highschool named Goharshad at that time I do not know it the name is the same or is has been changed to one of the favorit martyrs of Islamic Kaliph (it has never been a republic any way) .She was so upset at that time because they were alll very experienced teachers over there and all of a sudden the government put a principal for the who had only an associate degree and use to be a house wife all her adult life and all of a sudden she became a principal over there maybe you say that she might have the capabilities and because of tyhe situation before revolution she did not want to work but the problem is that for the whole group of those very experienced peole she was just an inexperienced kid with some childish Ideas .She was the first principal in my mothers whole career who wanted to manage the school like an intelligence society and just imagine how damaging it would be to the kids and the whole society and I thing this was the story of all the schools in that time she started to put eyes and ears in every classroom to know what teachers say and I think this situation still goes on thats why our kids have a very sick notion that somebody is always watching them and this is what you can see in the whole country thats what has kept these guys in power and I think maybe if this strike goes on it will finish their powerpoint in schools and that is good news itself.

Good luck all the teachers there may god be with you.

2004-01-16T19:15:00.000-08:00

Today I was thinking of the way these dictators live and die and how they feel they are the king of the world .Actually now that I am living in a free country (ok maybe many of you guys out there do not believe in this but tell you the truth I really believe in what I say about this country) I can see more clearly what a dictatorship means .I think the most misarable person in a dictatorship is the dictator himself just take a look at dictators that you know tyhem and the way they leaved and the ones that are dead the way they died .some where not ling ago I read that Khameneyee is so afraid of others that it is a very long time that he has not slept with his wife (he seems to be afraid of even his life partner what do you name this other than misery???) and look at khomeiny he came to Iran to build the first Government Of allah in the earth and look what happende at the end he had to drink the cup of poison and at his last days several letters and orders has been sighned under his name that the poor guy did not even know they exist .They changed the constitution under his name although he was almost dead at that time .But just compair them with american presidents (well again I think any of you might say that they are not that much Democrat also ) Just imagine that with all the things that happened with nixon and all the scandal and his Resighnment he lived a very respectfull life till the end and now nobody insult him or bother his family but look at khomeinis family they are under pressure all the time and living in hell and I assure you that khameneyees family will not be better at all.Any way think about it :The biggest Victim of a dictatorship are not people who live under that hellish regime it is the dictator himself although he thinks otherwise.

2004-01-11T15:21:00.000-08:00

After beiung so much worried and thinking about what is going on in Iran I decided to get involoved in my new land .Last week I went to one of the meetups for Howard Dean The guy seems much much Logical and much much more practical than the presend administration .After all he will not put bible reading sessions in the white house or consider himself having mandate from god (doesn't this remind you some body from Iran??? whoes name happens to be khameneyee???)

Since the day I came to the Us I saw the Democratic party much much closer to my viewpoints and now I see that with in the democratic party also Dean and the people following him are much much more close to what I think is good for me as well as the US and also yes Iran.Hope fully he will get elected........... lets wait and see.

2004-01-06T18:24:00.000-08:00

Ok Now you all have it even khatamy after all these years of deception clearly.confessed that he is the president without Authority although tell you the truth even if he had any authority I do not think any thing would change he was ther just to aleviate the movement of people .and he was very very successful I shold admit that in this process Iranian people also got some advantages .First now noone can say I did not knwo all the cards are open now ;second there were some issues that even we as people who were against the mafia from day one did not know .And theirs people now know taht whatever happens ti them come from them.So now my dear fellow Iranians this is the field and this is the ball you are here to play the game you have all the advantages against dictatorship that you can thin of it .the people of the world are with no doubt with you and moist of the governmets follow their people also .So as I said before the choice is yours game is yours to play .You have all the power and the power is in your hands play the game wisely ,very wisely

2004-01-01T15:05:00.000-08:00

Have you seen the pictures of khameneyee when he was visiting bam?? if not I tell you that he was in a some thing very much like a tank the car was not a car actually it had antibomb armors every where he was so frightened that he did not even get out of the car for some time (atleast I did not see any picture from that moment if thgere is some bidy plese let me know.Any way it seems that he really thinks that he has the only gods favorite and has a mandate from god and do not have any responsibility towards people .Now my fellow Iranians here you are the clkear and present Tirant of the Country Mr Ali Khameneyee is in front of your eyes What do you want to do with him ???still allow him to do whatever he like regardless of what he does and the way his actions kill people .The choice is yours now the choice is really yours.

2003-12-30T21:08:00.000-08:00

Well Finally khameneyee went there and yes he was there just for 2 hours now you tell me is 2 hours even enough to hear the name of more than 20000 dead people???who is he fooling here ???and worse than him khatamy had to stay put till he go there first ,Such a childish stupid tradition of mullas that the bigger guy should go sooner and sine the big guy wanted to be there when all the dangers were taken care of khatamy and others obviously could not go there .And then khatamy says that they are there to serve people but Mr khatami you proved for the 100th time that you are there just to serve that guy who thinks that he is the shadow of god on earth you are all messed up even if people in Iran do not do any thing let me tell you this you are not gods special people you are not god sent and you are not men of god you have no right to think that you are gods favorites .After all drug dealers and pimps and robbers can not be gods favorites any way.

2003-12-29T11:48:00.000-08:00

Is Tehran Really the next??

When I see the pictures of bam Quake I get so much sad and Deppressed but at the same time the onset of such disaster in tehran gives me a very cold chill .Can you imagine this to happen in Tehran??? and tell you the truth it is very very possible .What we do as Iranians to Handle such disaster???let me tell you,, absolutely nothing, government is just a dirty Mafia and people are still thinking well lets deal with these guys lets go for reform lets wait and wait and wait.But I am telling you now that there is no more time for waiting the situation is going from worse to the worst .I am here sitting in the safe side of the US but thinking of all my fellow iranians makes me really worried but let me tell you that people like me can do very little for you ,you who live in that country should do some thing for yourselves do some move do not wait any more the wait is over and danger is very close bring a government to power which cares for people not stupid slogans of Religion which even they themselves do not belive in .Think about this ,yes just think...

2003-12-28T14:38:00.000-08:00

3 days after the disastrous earth Quake in Bam still khatamy is in doubt to go there or not .Kahmeneyee has just sent a very brief and sensless message and others are just keeping a low profile in that so called government of Iran.Is this s good reason to prove that the whole system is messed up or what?? I remember during the same diusaster in shahs regime altough the poor guy was dealing with that stupid revolition at the same time he still couyld spare some time to go there to see the disaster first hand .He was the shah and he had no official responsibility (In the constitution at least but still was man enough to go there buy himself but these guys ,,, well when I see them I get ashamed of thinking that they are Iranians just like me.What a shame ;What a shame.

2003-11-20T07:07:00.000-08:00

Due to some major problems in our company I was damn busy for the last few days the only thing that I can tell you about it is that if you are supporting a data as well as a voice network do not go for Voice over IP it will make your life miserable.

2003-11-14T06:09:00.000-08:00

I just found this first Scifi Iranian web club take a look they are doing a really good job over there: 7th Dimention is the name of the site

2003-11-14T06:01:00.000-08:00

Hey good news; somebody got more stable here and you and I both know who she is .So just congradulations and good luck.

2003-10-26T12:53:00.000-08:00

It is a long time since my last post and many things happened Nobel peace prize foir shirin ebady with a huge wave of happiness among iranians (hey me too) and the stupid reaction of Mr Khatamy (he used to be peoples president now he is leaders pet ).In Iran it seems that the hopelessness is getting more and more deep and people every where are getting more and more nervous and feel the miserable Well the only way out is among themselves we who wre out can not and will not do much other than sitting and telling their story to the rest of the world ,Yesterday I was talking to some of my friends who are very close to the US government they were telling me that the general belief in the Administration is that IRI will colapose it self and there is noi need for any outside intervention I hope that this is the truth and it will rea;lly happen .Werll here they hope that this will happen within next year and IRI will be in history trashcan in 2005 but god knows maybe they are all wrong after all they used to think that Shah will be there forever and we know that they were very wrong; weren't they??

2003-10-04T18:59:00.000-07:00

I was just reading Ebrahim nabavi About Mohsen Sazegara .I like the way he writes Comedy but when he becomes serious man that is totally moving.The point is that day by day the situation changes from worse to worst there.Every day people's life gets more and more miserable god knows when this tragedy finishes.Who ever reads this article please think abour it please know that we who are outside Iran and are living in a free country should do some thing I am doing as much as I can since I am living in the diplomacy center of the US in Washington DC But I think all my Blogger friends should see what we can do collectively.

Think and think again.

No one knows what is god's will .Those who judge others by god think that they know god's will better than others.This has always happend by somebody who has the upper hand or tries to keep people in darkness.god has never expressed his will in modern Issues.

Ok this is the third time that I have to explain some thing to artmis this time regarding this article

I remember when I was in the university there was a guy over there who had just a BSc in phisical therapy and working as a Proffessor aid there.Less than a year later he got his MSc in phisical therapy (I should remind you that at that time Phisical therapy had no MSc course in Iran and thsi guy never left Iran to go to any where else for the Continuation of his education .Just after we finished Our Two year Degree and went for Military service which means 1 and a half year later he became a PHD and started working as a full time professor in the university.So as you see the guy got his PHD in less than 2 years after getting his BSc so what do you expect from such nice people???knowledge?????thouthfull speeches???? well if you think like that , there is some thing wrong with the way you think and you have to change it .On the other hand you have to add to this situation the way he wants to tell the governmet that he is their slave and do whatever they want to keep this sleazy job of his; what do you expect the poor guy even can say that Yogurt is black if he thinks it is good for his career. So do not take his advices so seriously and I am sure all other Good fellow bloggers also know who and what they are dealing with.After all as they say the moon shines and the dog barks.

In my last Posting I had a shout out from artmis telling me that she was not involved in bringing these monsters to power .Well I accept I was not involved too but well a nation is just like a team what we do as a nation will effect all of us and good or bad whaever happens they say Iranians did this or iranians did that even being outside the country does not change any thing if you ask some people who where here in tyime of Hostage Crisis you will understand that ameriucans used to look at all of us the way they looked at the hostage takers, it is good or bad??? I should say it all depends .If Iran was a successful democracy trying to Improve the culture and civilization well it was good as it was duriong shah regim but if iran is what it is now well it is not that much good. As you see there is no way out of this situation I mean whatever happens in that poor country of ours we will be involved so thats why I say that we were all involved in culturing Wind and now harvesting Storm I hope that I could clear what I ment the other time.

Ok I know that it is a long time since my last posting but well I was down under in newzealand and it was not easy to get to the web there but now that I am back the first thing thaty got my attention was artmis article regarding meshkiny and what he thinks about women .Well for her information and all other friends that might see my blog I refference you all to this article in this article he clearly describes creatures like meshkini and how naive are we if we expect such buffalos can tell us the datde of charshanbeh soory.Artmis finds his words offending but please be more frank with ourselves atleast ,I think that first we should blame ourselves and our previuos generation that thought such animals can be men of god after all if you go to jungle and a wolf kills you you are the one who should be blamed who went to jungle without neccessary precaution this is exactly what Iranians did 24 years ago and well this is the result.when you culture wind you will harvest storm.

Today I just read the Article Of my good friend ( he mentions I also look at him as friend and hoper that it is not one way because az baba taher says "keh yek sar mehreboony dardeh sar by" .first of all this article remninded me one of the parts of dayee jon napoleon if you remember once mash ghasem was telling the story of a traslator and how the "Ingilisa " said just a word like: "fasalakh" and the translator or as he used to say his Dilmaj was translating of r more than half an hour and at the end he said that he forgot the rest.This time also my 3 line article had a very long reply and I am so happy about that that I want toi reply even larger and follow the mash ghasem example .Well I totally agree with what he says about strawberry Strawbery can be very very useful or as he mentions painfull to the point that you want to get rid of it even if the price is your Visa .Bau the point is some thing else even the price of life as I said I do not think that it is cheap but as he mentioned some times the price of life can be easily as low as a pound of strawberry but I do not think that any of us is ready to sell his or her life for strawbery do we?I mean in normal situation not when for example you are dying of thirst or hunger as you say life is priceless and nobody can say how much but well my friend think about it do you really think that the people whose only problem here is the taste of strawberry understand what is going on??I mean these strawberry Immigrants that unfortunately their number is not that much small really know what they want from their life I know that you are not one of them if one day you choose to come here or Migrate some where else but what I meant was to remind them if you want to take the burden of Immigration just do not think of it as a strawberry and the taste of it.Immigration has never been easy and the people who chose to leave their fatherland had always had huge problems and it is still so I think you know many stories of the problems of iimmigrants here and there it is not just like" mamal the American" who thought that US is the heaven of earth and every thing will be alright noting will be alright if you think of it like that and if you think that the only problem of Immigrants there is the taste of strawberry.But why do they take such burden??I simply can not talk about others but can tell you my own reasoning.1979 revolution was not my choice but I had two problems then, first I was in minority and second I was a minor myself.People who thouth they know wevery thing lead teh country to what we see today.At fiorst since just like now I had a big mouth I thought now that they say this revolution is the revolution of words maybe I can stay and talk my way out and maybe who knows one day I can convince people and make the minority a majority as what happens every day in many countris .But later I saw that the revolution of words became the revolution of arms and prison and.......again I thought Ok I am not political and these guys might oine day understand that this is not the way and they will come back from what they are doing now.But then these guys started to control every thing and I mean every thing .What you wear where you go what you eat and so on and you knwo the story better than me because you are still living in such situation I mean just think about it these people want to control the miost private aspects of our lives and I could not tolerate it some could but not me.then I said ok you can not have the slithest personal freedom here and also you can not do any thing to change it because these guys have no mercy and will kill you just like that.what remained was immigration and that was why with all the problems I was pushing to come here for more than 12 years.I think this explanation is enough to tell you why I think strawberry immigrants have to think of what they are doing and then decide about their life here or there.

And why my site name is immigrant???it is easy because I am an immigrant arn,t I?????good or bad this is one of the adjectives that my name has with it just liek yours as a new groom or like artmis as a traveller or lets say Pilgrim .

And whay I right in english??well this is easy too I have no Idea about Unicode (what a shame for a computer tech )and on the other hand I have never learned to type farsi and that is another problem so as you see I had no choice .

So I hope that I had given you enought explanation about why did I right that Article and hope that one day we meet some where and can discuss these matters together I think it would be a very nice discussion.

2003-08-24T16:44:00.000-07:00

Well Well Well , It seems that after all artmis has come to her senses and understands that The land of the great satan is a better place to lkive .Congaradulations artmis welcome home:):):):)welcome to the land of opportunity.

Again and again I was reading the Baghys report about the number of the people who were killed during the last 15 years of Monarchy in Iran and again and again I feel that my generation and the generations after me have every right to blame our previus generetion for such a mess that they made in Our country .I mean even behnoud in his last article agrees some how taht they made a big mistake.He says that well it was shahs fault who did not give freedom oif press so people could know what is really going on and not to fall for the biggest lie of the 20th century.I have no contest with him in this matter I mean for regular people it is absolutely right but what about teh elite paqrt of the society after all they were the ones that became the shepperd of this Flock and lead people toi this mess .What about Students who were the members of confederation here in the US couldnt they just for a change go ahead and check to see of there are really that many victims of shahs regim???don't take me wrong shah was not that much important in that regime after all he was the head of the country and he knoiew that his smallest mistake will have some serious results for him and his family but what really happende was the destruction of a very well stablished system that more or less was working flawlessly and leave the country in the midst od caos and anarchy ,that even today after 24 years people over there are dealing with.But still there are some people who look at this mess as the Great revolution of people against the criminal regime of shah to this guys I can only say shame on you dont you think that in the year 2003 with all these information sources and the internet enough is enough who do you want to fool you destroyed a workind and well breed system that could easily be reformed to a democratic regiume and opened the way for one of the darkest regimes that has ever governed in Iran and still name it the great revolution????

But all these is old story I mean now unfortunately there is no chance to unwind the clock of tiome as behnoud says in his article and send a wise man back to 1976 to openup shahs eyes and as I thinkl open up peoples eyes .What about now what should we do now ???well for us that are livimg abroad and have a more or less free and easy life I think we have to do whatever we think we can to help to open up more eyes here or there still many americans think that Iran is what mullas want to show it is.this should be changed and on the other hand we might be able to do some lobbying for world governments to support peoples movements ther.And for people back in Iran well I think the best suggestion is to have an open eye do not fall for any body like khomeiny again .try to find good leaders trust them but as americans say :trust but verify.

2003-08-08T19:27:00.000-07:00

They say that Ali once said that Life means your Creed and the challenge you accept for it.Seems to be a very wise Idea although I am not sure that this is really from him.You know Iranians are perfect Imposters .whan they want to convince people with their words they always use the name of imams or important people to give the word some power thats why I am always doubtfull about these wise words from Imams.Any way he was right in his time maybe but in modern life and time if we want to interprete these words it should be some thing like this:liufe means having a goal and putting all your efforts to reach your goal.For me Immigration was a big goal and for 12 years this was what I was living with then when after this long time I at last reached my goal life became very hollow for me a goal less man is a lifeless man then after Quite some time now that I understand the meaning of life here in the new world I understand the meaning of money here trying to make money here is not what we belive in Iran .These people are not Cruel imperialists who do every thing to make more and more money .For them making money means creating job for their fellow citizens .For example you all know that bill gates is the reachest man of the world but have you ever thought that how many people have good jobs just because people like him and others in Information business are what they are??is this fair to say that these guys are rootless imperialists???

making money is not always bad if you are making money just like Mullahs kids in Iran sure you are just a parasite ;but if making money means creating job for others and saving lives here and there I think this is the most sacred goal that any body can have in his or her life.what do you think???

2003-07-30T17:22:00.000-07:00

I was reading the .article from emad eddin baghy regarding the number of the people killed in Iran from 1342 till the end of revolution in 1357 it seems that the whole thing was much much less than what they always tried to convey to people again and again.the real nimber seems to be 3164 ,as you see this number is really much much less than the number of just the massacre of 1367.now My Questiuon from my previuos crazy generation is that whay the hell did you revolt???what did you acheive with this revolution??Freedom???Democracy??Islam???khomeiny oince said that shah destroyed the cities and filled out the grave yards well I think this was his own mission that he was trying to name it as shahs job

2003-07-23T10:55:00.000-07:00

Last week My mother sold our summer house in north of tehran close to a city named fasham.All of my friends knwo the place as chechen this was a little tough for me I mean selling every thing else was not a big deal but this one was the only place that I felt some how a close relationship to it the phisical place was not an issue the fact that I had many many good memories of that place with all my good friends makes me sad now that it is gone but well as sidney sheldone says noting lasts forever.lets move on ,god knows maybe one day soon I will find another chechen in this part of the world and collect back all those good friends again .one of them is already here and struggling;; good luck artmis.Viva chechnia

Hope is alive till god is alive .Never ever loose hope.

2003-07-21T06:41:00.000-07:00

I was reading the blog of one of Artmis's Friends blogs about Immigration and taste of strawberry .The only thing that I can say to him and my other friends is that if the notion of life and happiness is as sleazy as the tast of a strawberry , I am sorry to say that but there is some thing very very wrong here either life is a very cheap Pheanomenon or we think of it like that or maybe problem is somewhere else just think about it.

2003-07-17T16:56:00.000-07:00

I was reading hoders log about this future leaders of Iran and the fact that he finds this proposition funny well some of these people in the list I can not agree more some people like karroobu=y can never be a leader in future iran any way first since he is so old for tha task and second since he is too involved in the regim's Illegal affairs in Martyr foundation but lets think about it what is wroing with loghmanian for example??first let me remind you taht what we need for future Iran is a democratic leader not aDictator leader like shah or khomeini or not even banisadr who could not cooperat with the forces that good or bad at his time were present and he had to deal with them and frankly he failed what we want is some body who while keep a good leadership can have the power of negotiation with different factions in order to reach a conclution towards the aim of the voters and loghmanian has proved that he can perform such task.I mean he at the same time could satisfy his voters and also negotiate with teh most visios fundumentals in parliment so whay not loghmanian???

And then we reach agha jary as we all know he has broiught a new vision towards political islam just like what benjamin frankliun did to the american democracy so whay he can not be a part of irans future leadership??? again I should remind my friends that teh leadership in future iran is a democratic leadership not a dictaror leadership so there is no problem if all these guys just like adams and washington and jefferson and madison can not each one of them take the ledership of the country .Regarding reza pahlavy ,well I have my doubts I think that although he always wants to show his prodemocracy face but deep down he can not be a democrat and the reason is not his hearitage frankly I do noty give a damn who his father was but what Is important for me is that he claims that he supports a refferandom for people to choose their future regime my Question from him is that in the year 1358 when all Iranian people in a referandom voted to finish the monarchy regime why a year later he named hiomself a shah???I agree that the refferandom was not accurate at all and the result of 98% of people voting in favor of islamic republic was ridiculous but non the less it was good enough to show that the majority of people (majority in a democracy means 50% +1) want the regime change .So this makes me really Cynical about mr Pahlavy.But to the list of those two guys that I mentioned who can be the member of the leadership team of Iran I want to Add Akbar Ganjy Also .As we all know his last book which was written in Evin Prison can easily be used as a base of the future constitution Of Iran.I will talk about this matter more later but I really like to have others Ideas in this matter.

2003-07-15T19:00:00.000-07:00

A good friend of mine has put some doubts wether we are immigrants or refugees .Talking about myself I consider myself an immigrant.The Civilization as we know of, in Iran started with a big Immigration of Arians from india towards west, some decided to go south to Iran Plato and some went towards north and west to go to Europe .Even after that every time teh big turning points of human history has always been along with big immigrations the immigration of moses and his people then the immigration of Muhammad and this story goes on .Just imagine that the big immigration of people towards US would not happen during 18th and 19th centuries .I know that not every thing about US is good US has many many bad and negative aspects .But we should all agree that without US the world would not have been the way it is now .I mean we all enjoy hollywood movies as well as what know as informatic revolution .The other aspect is that US has initiated a notion of freedom that did not exist before.So as you see there are more to immigration than what we think.Loook at your self as immigrants because Immigration is a choice while being a refugee is a mandate so which one do you like more?? mandate or choice??

2003-07-13T16:53:00.000-07:00

Today I was watching a documentary of life and achievements of Alfred Hitchkock .It was very interesting but the point for me was that just imagine what is important about human beings??I mean is he really important? he was just a small being in a small planet in a small solar system in a very very large universe , why we humans think that we are really important here ? is there any body out there who can answer my Question??

2003-07-09T18:58:00.000-07:00

A good friend found this blog he is in london and this is his blog.Thanks again mojtaba please if you like my blog tell your friends about me too.

2003-07-09T18:23:00.000-07:00

Well atlast today was 18 of tir and as I was guessing there was not that much unrest in Iran.Well when in war it is very stupid to just attack the time that enemy expects you to even the most stupid war lord knows this so I think the real struggle comes later but the most interesting point this time was the some how alliance of all the Iranians in exile I think although there was still some clash of interests here and there the main pint that every body is having one common point of view and that is the democracy and Human rights for future iran means a very positive step towards a better Iran.Hope to see a free and democratic Iran soon.

2003-07-06T16:40:00.000-07:00

Well it is the end of the 4th of july weekend here .Doing noting during these three days the only big thing is that I started the SQL book it is really interesting hope that I can understand and become an expert in this database business this is really avery new world for me and I think I can have a better job opportunity when I get to know it.And in Iran 18 of Tir is upon us .it seems that jack straw has Warned mullahs not to interfere with peoples uprising and try to kill othem otherwise the whole world comuynity will rise against them well lets wait and see the day is really important if people come out and really mullas do not do any thing this will be the milestone of future demonstrations and strikes .Lets wait and see.

2003-07-04T13:46:00.000-07:00

Iran is again on the headlines of all the western media, people again surprised the world the only thing that can be predicted in iran is rightfully the trutht that noting is predictable now after almost amonth of the start of the new uprising people still are very pussled here and there some like behnood are still very Cynical about it and think that it will go nowhere and some like noorizadeh and others think that thats it this is the beggining of the end of the IRI god knows but whatever happens there I think one thing is going to happen sooner or later .People ther will prevail and are prevainling even now the only problem is that IRI leaders think that they are leading people but let me tell you guys people are driving you here and there you are not going any where people will foirce you wherever they want that has happened many times and will happen again.

2003-07-03T19:58:00.000-07:00

It is almost one month that I have not written here I was so busy and so tired to do so.But during this month many thgings has happened :the uprising of people and students in Iran and the attak of Hezbolahhies to them has brought hopes and smiles back to the lips of many Iranians back home and here every body is excited and Anxios.Is it really the beginning of the end of IRI?? god knows but atleast hope is back and this is good by itself.

2003-06-09T10:03:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I talked to artmis again .Well she is so worried about Iran I am worried to but I am worried just for their sake I mean peoples sake but for my self well my interests in Iran are very limited now maybe some time later when this situation goes away and I can think more clearly I can have a better look at Iran but for now I am just worried for my friends and relatives hope that my mother will be out soon.

2003-06-06T16:56:00.000-07:00

well after 15000 Iranian bloggers being in the web already it seems that its about time although I am not completely Iranian any more but well who can forget 32 years of his life in a very very old land and now that he is in a very new land without more than 400 years of written history??

America is really tha land fo opprtunity but not for every body .For me it was a very Hospitable land this land gave me the integrity that my own land denied me so why should I still consider myself totally Iranian???dont get me wrong I still have a very worried mind for Iran and what is happening for my people but well lets be honest these people have to do some thing about their situaation themselves waiting for a heavenly hand top come and take care Mullas does not seem to be a very good Idea there is no miraculous hand there whatever should happenh Iranians shoud make it happpen this is the ultimate solution.
