مجموعه کتابهای آموزش زبان

2007-07-21T21:06:00.000+12:00

چندی پیش به طور تصادفی در اینترنت به تبلیغ کتاب آموزش مکالمات روزمره چینی به فارسی برخوردم. مولف این کتاب خانم زهرا ملک محمدی میباشد و جالب اینکه قیمت این کتاب از حد متوسط قیمت کتاب در بازار ایران بیشتر است. نکته جالب توجه نوشته روی جلد این کتاب هست که کاملا اشتباه میباشد و هیچ معنایی هم ندارد حدس میزنم که هدفشان نوشتن "جونگ گوو" به معنای چین بوده است که به طور صحیح اینگونه نوشته میشود

به هر حال از ما که گذشت اما اگر شما بودید مثلا به کتاب آموزش فارسی که شرح روی جلدش اینجوری هست چه قدر اعتماد میکردید؟؟ آمزش ذبان فارصی

تحصیل در خارج

2007-02-05T16:11:00.000+13:00

هر روز اوضاع ایران بدتر میشه و بچه های ایران آواره تر. تا اونجایی که حاضرند از ایران برای تحصیل به کشورهای درب و داغونی مثل اوکراین و هند و مالزی و بقیه کشورهای در و پیت و عقب افتاده برند. حالا باز هم مالزی درست که از لحاظ علمی و سطح دانشگاهی عددی نیست امّا لااقل میشه توش زندگی کرد. البته تقصیری هم ندارند اونقدر دولت حاکم بر ایران بر وجهه خود گه زده که ایرانی در دنیا رویی ندارد و جایی هم غیر از این کشورها راهشان نمیدهد . اینجارو یه نیگاه بندازید و برای اونهای که میشناسید بفرستید شاید که سودمند باشد

خاک بر سر وزارت علوم که یه دونه عالم توش نمونده ٫ خاک بر سر همشون که بچه های ایران رو آواره میکنند اونوقت آقایان سفرا و کنسولها و حتی فرستاده های فرهنگیشون بچه هاشونو در آخر دوره دیپلماتیک در کشوری که در اون انجام وظیفه میکردند با هر کلک که شده پا بند میکنند صرفا به خاطر اینکه ایران جای زندگی و پیشرفت برای جوانان نیست. همون ایرانی که با بی درایتی امثال اینها ویران شد و هر روز ویرانتر میشود.من خود شخصا قادر به اسم بردن اشخاصی هستم که در دوازده سال گذشته تفاله هاشان «فرزندانشان» در نیوزیلند ماندند تا از موقعیّتها استفاده کنند تا جایی که اخیرا یکی از همین آقازاده ها تقاضای پناهنده گی در نیوزیلاند را تسلیم دفتر حقوق بشر در یکی از شهرهای شمالی کرد.

Robert Fisk: He takes his secrets to the grave. Our complicity dies with him
How the West armed Saddam, fed him intelligence on his 'enemies', equipped him for atrocities - and then made sure he wouldn't squeal
Published: 31 December 2006

We've shut him up. The moment Saddam's hooded executioner pulled the lever of the trapdoor in Baghdad yesterday morning, Washington's secrets were safe. The shameless, outrageous, covert military support which the United States - and Britain - gave to Saddam for more than a decade remains the one terrible story which our presidents and prime ministers do not want the world to remember. And now Saddam, who knew the full extent of that Western support - given to him while he was perpetrating some of the worst atrocities since the Second World War - is dead.

Gone is the man who personally received the CIA's help in destroying the Iraqi communist party. After Saddam seized power, US intelligence gave his minions the home addresses of communists in Baghdad and other cities in an effort to destroy the Soviet Union's influence in Iraq. Saddam's mukhabarat visited every home, arrested the occupants and their families, and butchered the lot. Public hanging was for plotters; the communists, their wives and children, were given special treatment - extreme torture before execution at Abu Ghraib.
There is growing evidence across the Arab world that Saddam held a series of meetings with senior American officials prior to his invasion of Iran in 1980 - both he and the US administration believed that the Islamic Republic would collapse if Saddam sent his legions across the border - and the Pentagon was instructed to assist Iraq's military machine by providing intelligence on the Iranian order of battle. One frosty day in 1987, not far from Cologne, I met the German arms dealer who initiated those first direct contacts between Washington and Baghdad - at America's request.

"Mr Fisk... at the very beginning of the war, in September of 1980, I was invited to go to the Pentagon," he said. "There I was handed the very latest US satellite photographs of the Iranian front lines. You could see everything on the pictures. There were the Iranian gun emplacements in Abadan and behind Khorramshahr, the lines of trenches on the eastern side of the Karun river, the tank revetments - thousands of them - all the way up the Iranian side of the border towards Kurdistan. No army could want more than this. And I travelled with these maps from Washington by air to Frankfurt and from Frankfurt on Iraqi Airways straight to Baghdad. The Iraqis were very, very grateful!"

I was with Saddam's forward commandos at the time, under Iranian shellfire, noting how the Iraqi forces aligned their artillery positions far back from the battle front with detailed maps of the Iranian lines. Their shelling against Iran outside Basra allowed the first Iraqi tanks to cross the Karun within a week. The commander of that tank unit cheerfully refused to tell me how he had managed to choose the one river crossing undefended by Iranian armour. Two years ago, we met again, in Amman and his junior officers called him "General" - the rank awarded him by Saddam after that tank attack east of Basra, courtesy of Washington's intelligence information.
Iran's official history of the eight-year war with Iraq states that Saddam first used chemical weapons against it on 13 January 1981. AP's correspondent in Baghdad, Mohamed Salaam, was taken to see the scene of an Iraqi military victory east of Basra. "We started counting - we walked miles and miles in this fucking desert, just counting," he said. "We got to 700 and got muddled and had to start counting again ... The Iraqis had used, for the first time, a combination - the nerve gas would paralyse their bodies ... the mustard gas would drown them in their own lungs. That's why they spat blood."

At the time, the Iranians claimed that this terrible cocktail had been given to Saddam by the US. Washington denied this. But the Iranians were right. The lengthy negotiations which led to America's complicity in this atrocity remain secret - Donald Rumsfeld was one of President Ronald Reagan's point-men at this period - although Saddam undoubtedly knew every detail. But a largely unreported document, "United States Chemical and Biological Warfare-related Dual-use exports to Iraq and their possible impact on the Health Consequences of the Persian Gulf War", stated that prior to 1985 and afterwards, US companies had sent government-approved shipments of biological agents to Iraq. These included Bacillus anthracis, which produces anthrax, andEscherichia coli (E. coli). That Senate report concluded that: "The United States provided the Government of Iraq with 'dual use' licensed materials which assisted in the development of Iraqi chemical, biological and missile-systems programs, including ... chemical warfare agent production facility plant and technical drawings, chemical warfare filling equipment."

Nor was the Pentagon unaware of the extent of Iraqi use of chemical weapons. In 1988, for example, Saddam gave his personal permission for Lt-Col Rick Francona, a US defence intelligence officer - one of 60 American officers who were secretly providing members of the Iraqi general staff with detailed information on Iranian deployments, tactical planning and bomb damage assessments - to visit the Fao peninsula after Iraqi forces had recaptured the town from the Iranians. He reported back to Washington that the Iraqis had used chemical weapons to achieve their victory. The senior defence intelligence officer at the time, Col Walter Lang, later said that the use of gas on the battlefield by the Iraqis "was not a matter of deep strategic concern".

I saw the results, however. On a long military hospital train back to Tehran from the battle front, I found hundreds of Iranian soldiers coughing blood and mucus from their lungs - the very carriages stank so much of gas that I had to open the windows - and their arms and faces were covered with boils. Later, new bubbles of skin appeared on top of their original boils. Many were fearfully burnt. These same gases were later used on the Kurds of Halabja. No wonder that Saddam was primarily tried in Baghdad for the slaughter of Shia villagers, not for his war crimes against Iran.

We still don't know - and with Saddam's execution we will probably never know - the extent of US credits to Iraq, which began in 1982. The initial tranche, the sum of which was spent on the purchase of American weapons from Jordan and Kuwait, came to $300m. By 1987, Saddam was being promised $1bn in credit. By 1990, just before Saddam's invasion of Kuwait, annual trade between Iraq and the US had grown to $3.5bn a year. Pressed by Saddam's foreign minister, Tariq Aziz, to continue US credits, James Baker then Secretary of State, but the same James Baker who has just produced a report intended to drag George Bush from the catastrophe of present- day Iraq - pushed for new guarantees worth $1bn from the US.

In 1989, Britain, which had been giving its own covert military assistance to Saddam guaranteed £250m to Iraq shortly after the arrest of Observer journalist Farzad Bazoft in Baghdad. Bazoft, who had been investigating an explosion at a factory at Hilla which was using the very chemical components sent by the US, was later hanged. Within a month of Bazoft's arrest William Waldegrave, then a Foreign Office minister, said: "I doubt if there is any future market of such a scale anywhere where the UK is potentially so well-placed if we play our diplomatic hand correctly... A few more Bazofts or another bout of internal oppression would make it more difficult."

Even more repulsive were the remarks of the then Deputy Prime Minister, Geoffrey Howe, on relaxing controls on British arms sales to Iraq. He kept this secret, he wrote, because "it would look very cynical if, so soon after expressing outrage about the treatment of the Kurds, we adopt a more flexible approach to arms sales".
Saddam knew, too, the secrets of the attack on the USS Stark when, on 17 May 1987, an Iraqi jet launched a missile attack on the American frigate, killing more than a sixth of the crew and almost sinking the vessel. The US accepted Saddam's excuse that the ship was mistaken for an Iranian vessel and allowed Saddam to refuse their request to interview the Iraqi pilot.
The whole truth died with Saddam Hussein in the Baghdad execution chamber yesterday. Many in Washington and London must have sighed with relief that the old man had been silenced for ever.

از چندتا دوست عزیز که احوال پرسیدند ممنونم ، چند نفری هم چشم به راه قسمتهای بعدی تاپیک زبان چینی هستند که چشم به زودی خدمت میرسم.جاتون خالی امشب فیلم "ََُمکس" را دیدیم که جالب بود. من که خوشم آمد و واقعا به کارگردانش که با زیرکی تمام یکی به نعل و یکی به ُسم زد تبریک میگم من که چیزی از فیلم و سینما حالیم نمیشه اما خیلی همه چیز را حساب شده پیش برده بودند و انتخاب بازیگرانش بینظیر بود به غیر از آقای شریفی نیا که حضورش برای نقش نه چندان مهمی الزامی نبود.

اصرار در انكار وجود خداوند همانقدر احمقانه است كه اصرار در اثبات وجود خدا
اينكه خدايي ما را آفريده باشد يا نه تفاوت زيادي در زنديگيمان ندارد. نميدانم چرا آدمها زندگي نقدشان را رها ميكنند و همه فكر و ذكرشان ميشود زندگي نسيه پس از مرگ. اگر مرديم و زندگي ديگري در پيش بود كه خوب! باز هم زندگي ميكنيم، اگر هم نبود كه خلاص! نميدانم اين چه خداي بي جنبه ايست كه بايد صبح تا شام پرستشش كنيم تا ناراحت نشود. خدايا! اينكه مرا آفريدي و نعمتهاي زميني را دراختيارم قرار دادي دمت گرم! خيلي حال دادي، ولي خداي عزيز من كه از بارگاه جنابعالي نخواسته بودم مرا بيافريني كه حالا منت بر سرم گذاشته اي. اين تن و روح و دست و پا و چشم و گوش را خودت به من هديه فرمودي، من هم كه خواسته يا نخواسته هديه را قبول كردم، تشكر هم كه كردم، ديگر چه ميگويي؟ اين را كه بايد خودت از من بهتر بداني، ناسلامتي تو مرا آفريده اي! بارالها خيلي مشكوك هستي! از آن جلال و جبروت خدايي بعيد است كه اينچنين ما بندگانت را سركار بگذاري. اصلاً تو كدام خدا هستي؟ همه اين كارها را يك نفري انجام ميدهي يا مجمع خدايان هستيد؟ پروردگارا! حالا كه اينچنين بخشنده و مهربان هستي و اين همه تن و جان عطا ميكني پس چرا اين همه ظالم و سنگ دل را آفريدي كه تن ها و جان هاي اهداييت را زجر بدهند و كبود كنند. بهتر نبود اصلاً تني نميدادي و تني هم با شكنجه نميگرفتي؟ بهتر نبود هيچ زن زيبايي نمي آفريدي و هيچ پيامبري هم براي سنگسار اين زيبايي ارسال نميكردي؟ بهتر نبود كه اين همه موهبتهاي زميني را نمي آفريدي و در عوض كودك محروم و ملتمسي هم به وجود نمي آوردي؟ ديدي گفتم مشكوكي! خدايا به بودن و نبودن و عظمت و بزرگي و جلال و جبروت و ملكوتت كاري ندارم ولي يك چيز را خوب ميدانم كه اگر من به جاي تو بودم دنيا جاي بسيار بسيار بهتري براي زندگي مي بود! مطمئن باش

نه اینکه آمریکا کشوری هست که به این حرفها اهمیت بده اما تشویق‌ها و تایید‌های دیگر رهبران از رییس‌جمهور ونزولا در صحن سازمان ملل اگر زنگ خطری برای خود آمریکا نیست باید پیامی برای متحدان بوش داشته باشه.

وقتی آرام است دوست داری در آغوشش چشمهایت را روی هم بگذاری و خود را در بین دستهایش رها کنی.

چون پرنده‌ای در باد٬ آرام و سبک. خشمگین میشود گاهی و ویران میکند بی‌هیچ لحظه‌ای تردید. دنیایی است بزرگ . پر رمز و راز.
دریاست٬ بی‌کران و آبی٬بزرگ و مغرور٬ آرام و خشمگین.لحظه‌ای همراز و لحظه‌ای رسواگر.

با این همه بیکران و پایان ناپذیر. دیرین و همیشگی. پرتجربه و پیر.

نامه به روزنامه شرق

2006-09-09T01:42:00.000+12:00

خیلی وقت بود دلم از دست شرقیها پر بود تا عاقبت امشب دل به دریا زدم و دست به کیبورد بردم و چند خطی براشون نوشتم. اینم متنش:

با عرض سلام و خسته نباشید به همگی دوستان در شرق و تشکر از همت و تلاش خسته‌گی ناپذیرتان در عرصه مطبوعات آزاد.حقیر خواننده دايمی و پر و پا قرص روزنامه شما هستم٫‌ روزنامه‌ای که رنگ و بوی ایرانزمین دارد و مایه دلگرمی غربت نشینان.غرض از مزاحمت اینکه برحسب آشنایی ناچیز اینجانب به زبان و ادبیات چینی همیشه علاقه مضاعف نسبت به مقالات و اخبار‌ ِِ روزنامه خوب شما در مورد جمهوری خلق چین دارم و مقالات موضوعی شما را در این رابطه چندین بار مطالعه میکنم.از اینرو بر خود واجب دانستم که جسارتی کرده و توجه شما را نسبت به روش ارائه اینگونه مقالات جلب کرده و خرده‌گیری از ترجمه‌های شما بنمایم.از آنجا که اغلب مقالاتتان حول محور چین از منابع انگلیسی گرفته شده است غالبا در ترجمه اسامی به فارسی دارای اشتباهات میباشد. مقالات ارائه شده توسط خانمها نوشین دیانتی و لیلا همتی‌مقدم و همچین جناب ناصر فکوهی از این قائده مستثنی نمیباشد.
نوشتن اسامی و لغات چینی به انگلیسی تابع قوانین از پیش تعیین شده میباشد که به آن روش استاندارد Pinyin گفته میشود. عدم آشنایی اغلب عزیزان ایرانی ( که شامل دکتر محمد معین مولف دائرةالمعارف معین نیز میشود) روز به روز مشکل‌زاتر و مقالات را پیچیده‌تر میکند.اینجانب به دوستانی که مشغول تحقیق و ترجمه اینگونه متون هستند پیشنهاد میکنم که حتما روش Pinyin را به کار بگیرند. به کار گیری روش صحیح ترجمه Pinyin به فارسی نویسنده را از ارتکاب اشکالاتی از ایندسته به دور نگاه میدارد: Fei Xiao Tung فاى اگزيائو تونگ ترجمه نمیشود و در عوض فِی شیائو تُنگ و XinJiang سین کیانگ نه بلکه شین جیانگ نوشته میشود. اشتباهاتی از این دسته بسیار زیاد در مقالات به چشم میخورد
رسالت شما خبر رسانی و کمک به اعتلای فرهنگ است و اخبار هرچه صحیحتر مورد احترامتر.

دوستدار شما

زبان چینی بخش یک

2006-09-08T22:22:00.000+12:00

زبان شناسها معتقد هستند که زبان چینی در هزاره دوم قبل از میلاد (۲۰۰۰ ق م) شروع به شکل گرفتن کرده است که بی‌شک با زبان امروزی چین بسیار تفاوت داشته است اما به قول معروف بنایش در آن دوره گذاشته شده است. قدیمیترین نوشته یا اثر مکتوب چینی که در حال حاضر در دسترس است(در موزه ملی تایپه در تایوان) مربوط به «سلسله شانگ» (۱۵۰۰ ق م) میباشد که حجاری شده بر روی استخوان شانه گاو و همچنین در داخل لاک لاکپشت نوشته شده است.
چینیها به زبان خود « جونگ ون٫ Zhong Wen» میگویند. جونگ به معنای مرکزی و ون به معنای فرهنگ و علت آن اینست که از دیرباز سرزمین خود را مرکز کره خاکی میدانستند و این مرکزیت باورشان شده است

همانطور که شاید میدانید زبان چینی دارای الفبای خاصی نمیباشد و از شکلکهایی تشکیل شده است که به آنها در انگلیسی «کاراکتر* ٫ Character » و به چینی «هانزی** ٫hànzi٫‌ 汉字» میگوییم. هر کاراکتر علاوه بر نماینده یک هجا در گفتار بودن ٫ خود معنایی نیز دارد. کاراکترها در اصل تصاویری بودند از آدمها٫‌حیوانات و طبیعت که برای رساندن معنی (مانند هیروگلیف مصریها) از آنان استفاده میشد و در طول قرنها تکامل پیدا کرده‌اند و امروزه کمتر شباهت به شکل چیزی دارند که بیانگر آن هستند. به عنوان مثال اگر در گذشته برای رساندن معنی یک خانه شکل دو دیوار و یک سقف را رسم میکردند امروزه برای نوشتن چیزی مانند آپارتمان چندین خانه بر روی هم ترسیم نمیکنند چرا که تکامل خود معرف کلمات جدید میباشد. امروزه بسیاری از کاراکترها خود مرکب از چندین کاراکتر میباشند و زبان نوشتاری را با منطقی‌ترین راه موجود بسط داده‌اند.چندین نفر از دوستان در مورد تعداد کاراکترهای موجود در زبان چینی پرسیده بودند که در جواب باید عرض شود که در زبان چینی تا کنون تعدادی تعریف نشده است اما کاملترین دائرةالمعارف چینی حاوی ۶۰۰۰۰ (شصت هزار) کاراکتر میباشد و با در نظر گرفتن اینکه ترکیب هر‌کدام از این کاراکترها با کاراکتری دیگر کلمه‌ای (کاراکتری) کاملا جدید و معنی‌دار میسازد تجسم تعداد کاراکترهای حاصل در سر نمیگنجد اما نباید فراموش کرد که تعداد کثیری از این کاراکترها قدیمی و غیر مصطلح میباشند و حتی افراد بومی تحصیل کرده در ادبیات چین هم اغلب در ترجمه بسیاری از کلمات با مشکل مواجه میشوند.تا آنجا که استادهای ما به ما میگوبند دانستن تقریبا ۳۰۰۰ تا ۳۵۰۰ کاراکتر برای‌خواندن روزنامه کافی است اما استفاده از دیکشنری یا دائرةالمعارف چینی همواره برای خواندن متون تخصصی‌تر الزامی است. در پست آینده در مورد اصوات و نحوه ادای هجاها توضیح خواهم داد

پ‌ن.

*بسیاری از کاراکترها از زبان چینی توسط زبانهایی مانند ژاپنی . کره‌ای به عاریه گرفته شده‌اند. در این زبانها این کاراکترها در عین ترسیم کاملا مشابه به چینی از تلفظی کاملا متفاوت برخوردار میباشد. من خود شخصا در مدرسه یا دانشگاه بسیار دیدم که چینیها٬ ژاپنیها و کره‌ایها گاهی به دلیل عدم تسلط به انگلیسی بعضا برای تفهیم موضوعی به یکدیگر دست به دامن کاراکترها (که به نوبت هانزی٫کانجی‌و هانجا مینامندش) میشدند.

** در چینی «هان汉» به قومی که اکثریت‌جمعیت تشکیل دهنده چین (و به روایتی به اصیلترین قوم) را داراست گفته میشود و «زی‌字» خود به تنهایی به معنی کاراکتر یا همان کلمه میباشد.

هواپیما

2006-09-03T18:36:00.000+12:00

سال پیش در هواپیما از شیراز به تهران نیمی از هواپیما پر بود از توریستهای سوئدی. مدتی نگذشت که با یکی از آنها که در صندلی بغل دست من نشسته بود سر صحبت باز شد و کاشف به عمل آمد که این دوستان اغلب اعضای پارلمان سوئد و کادر پارلمانی به همراه خانواده هایشان هستند که هر سال در قالب تور به یکی دو کشور سفر کرده و چشم و دلی از مکانهای دیدنی دیگر کشورها سیر میکنند. بر حسب کنجکاوی در طول پرواز از او پرسیدم که آیا میداند که بر چه هواپیمایی سوار است؟
گفتش که این یک توپولوف است

با کنجکاوی بیشتراز او پرسیدم که آیا از سابقه این هواپیما خبر دارد؟
گفتش بله هواپیماهای بسیار خوبی هستند و به طور گسترده در کشورهای سردسیر و اسکاندیناوی مورد استفاده اند
بیصبر او را از سابقه این هواپیما و هواپیمای فوکر در ایران مطلع کردم. او کمی هیجان زده شد و به فکر فرو رفت. گمانم فکر میکرد ، چه میدانم فرودی اظطراری یا شایدم نیم سقوطی یا چیزی دیگر به هیجان سفرشان میافزاید و سفر به ایران را همیشه به یاد خواهند داشت. اما مدتی نگذشت که با همان لهجه غلیظش به من گفت : دوست من، مشکل شما توپولوف و فوکر نیست این مدیریت شماست که برای خود و شهروندانش مشکل زاست
حرف ایشان برایم ثقیل بود اما دیدم بنده خدا راست میگوید این خانه از پایبست ویران است

این است کارنامه هوایی مملکت. مملکتی که سفر از شهری به شهر دبگرش جگر شیر میخواهد. در همین راستا پیشنهاد میکنیم که عریضه نویسهای درب دادگستری به جنب آژانسهای هواپیمایی نقل مکان کرده تا بتوانند سرویس تایپ و تنظیم اسناد خود را به مسافرین گرامی جهت نوشتن وصیّتنامه ارائه دهند

به هر حال سوالی که ذهن من را دو سالی هست به خود مشغول کرده اینست که: چطور دولت ایران دسترسی به بازار سیاه ِ دانش ، ابزار آلات و ادوات هسته ای را دارد و هر چیز را که اراده کنند از این ور و آن ور و حتی به طور غیر مستقیم از شیطان بزرگ خریداری میکند امّا به لوازم یدکی هواپیماها که میرسد که باوجود تحریم های موجود به مراتب خرید آن آسانتر است تمامی تقصیرها را به گردن تحریم میاندازند و دوستان را مرگ بر آمریکا گویان راهی راهپیمایهای خیابانی و خشتک د ِرانی میکنند

پروردگارا دسترسی مارا به "حقّ مسلم ماست" زودتر فراهم بفرما، باشد که بعد از آن شهروندان ایران از حق خود برخوردار شوند. این کارنامه ای از سوانح هوایی ایران پس از دوران آن خدانیامرز است./ دزدیده شده از ایـــسنا

دوستانی از طریق ایمیل خواستار توضیح بیشتر در دو ضمینه شدند. در مورد نیوزیلاند و مهاجرت و این حرفها و همچنین زبان و نوشتار چینی. سعی میکنم تا اونجایی که میشه جوابشونو بدم باشد که این وبلاگ ما هم به کاری آید و کمکی برای کسی باشد.
اجازه بدید از مهاجرت به نیوزیلاند شروع کنم. همونطور که اغلب دوستان میدونند سیستم امتیاز بندی از حدود ۱۱ سال پیش در اینجا شروع شد که کاندیداهای مهاجرت بر اساس این سیستم محک زده میشوند. ُلب این سیستم اینه که به افرادی که تحصیلات و تجربه کاری بیشتر و سن کمتری دارند امتیاز بیشتری داده میشه و به قول معروف در گروه مهاجرین ایده آل قرار میگیرند. این روش امروزه برای ایرانیان بین ۱۸ تا ۳۰ ماه از روز تقاضا تا روز جواب نهایی طول میکشه اما در همون ماههای ابتدایی بعد از تقاضا یه جورایی به آدم میرسونند که این کار شدنیه یا به قول معروف شما ول معطلید. ایرانیا باید از طریق سفارت نیوزیلاند در سنگاپور اقدام کنند. برای اطلاعات در این ضمینه به این سایت مراجعه کنید

.http://www.immigration.govt.nz/

من در طول سالها خیلیهارو دیدم که اینجا اومدند (از طریق مهاجرت و پناهندگی) و در کل اونهایی که در رشته های مهندسی سر رشته داشتند از همه موفقتر و رشته های پزشکی و پیراپزشکی مجبور به از صفر شروع کردن هستند . دوستانی که در ضمینه مهاجرت

تحقیق میکنند میتونند از وبلاگها و وبسایتهایی که به این موضوع میپردازند بهره ببرند.
از طریق پناهندگی هم هنوز هستند ایرانیهایی که به نیوزیلاند میآند مخصوصا از وقتی که استرالیا یک راست متقاضیان پناهندگی رو میبره اردوگاه تا به کارشون رسیدگی شه. این دوستان هم از ایران با پاسپورت میرند مالزی یا تایلند.توی بانکوک یا کوالالامپور آدم پرونها (قاچاقچیهای آدم) دور مسافرین محترم رو میگیرند مخصوصا اگر با پرواز ایران ایر یا ماهان ایر رفته باشند خلاصه چندین هزار دلار آمریکا(مقصدهای مختلف قیمتهای مختلف داره) تیغ میزنند و با یک پاسپورت جعلی ایشان رو روانه کشوری میکنند که از بدو ورود دروغ بگن و خود را سیاسی و مشکل دار جلوه بدهند که اگر خدا خواست بعد از دو سه سال بلاتکلیفی پناهندگیشان قبول و قادر به ماندن بشوند. در تقریبا ۱۰ سال گذشته من شخصا پناهنده واقعی و مورد دار در نیوزیلند ندیده ام و این دوستان واقعا راه را برای پناهنده های احتمالی واقعی چند برابر ناهموارتر کرده اند .

به هر حال در پست بعدی در مورد شهرها و سیستمهای شهری و اقتصاد و اینجور چیزا خواهم نوشت

2006-08-24T12:04:00.000+12:00

همگی جریان تخریب احتمالی پاسارگاد توسط سد سیوند رو میدونیم . تقریبا دو سالی میشه که توی اینترنت جنجال شده و فعالان کمر همّت بستند و همه جوره دنبال موضوع را گرفتند تا شاید با وساطت دولت بتونند جلوی وزارت نیرو رو بگیرند و از خر شیطون پیادشون کنند تا جلوی این فاجعه گرفته بشه و آثار تاریخی حفظ

چندین نکته هست که کسی بهش اهمیّتی نمیده ، یک اینکه پاسارگاد و اطرافش از آثار به ثبت رسیده یونسکو هستند و به این آسونیها نمیشه دست به تیشه شد مگر اینکه خلخالی از گور بلند شه ، دو اینکه اگر سّد سیوند زده بشه دشت مرغاب هم به زیر آب میره . اغلب میدونند که دشت مرغاب مرکز اصلی کشاورزی ,تولید و پروراندن موادِ خامِ مورد استفاده کارخانه یک و یک هست و بعید میدونم کارخانه ای به این سود دِه از طریقی به آقازاده ای یا شایدم آقایی اون بالا بالاها وصل نباشه و این خود به طورغیرمستقیم تضمین کننده حیاتِ پاسارگاد خواهد بود.غرض از این روضه خونیها این بود که پسر عمّه ما از اون سر دنیا برداشته برامون ایملی زده حاوی این عکسها و اینکه افسوس و صد افسوس و از این حرفا . خیلی دوست دارم بهش بگم شما که دو سه برابر من سن داری چرا؟شما که خودت توی ایران رییس دانشگاه بودی چرا؟ شما که دیدی مملکت قیاس آباد (ایران) چه جوری کار میکنه چرا؟ خلاصه به قول معروف شما خودشو ناراحت نکن

اواخر 2005 بود که سفیر ایران در زلاندنو در یکی از دانشگاههای اینجا سخنرانی داشتند . لُب کلام ایشان آگاهی دادن به دوستداران سیاست در این کشور بود. ایشان تلاش خود را در صلح آمیز جلو دادن برنامه اتمی ایران کردند و تمام و کمال از حقّ مسلم ماست دفاع کردند

در پایان این جلسه چندی از دوستان ایرانی دور ایشان را گرفته و نظرات خود را گفتند و همگی هم عقیده بودند که این شل کن سفت کن های ایران بهانه های محکم به آمریکا و عاقبت کاری به دست ایران خواهد دادو پای بیگانه را به ایران باز و مملکتت را به دوباره چندین دهه به عقب خواهد راند.

ایشان هم با کمال اطمینان اظهار کردند که خیلی نگران نباشید درست است که ایران شکرخوری زیادی میکند اما دولت دقیقا میداند که چه وقت عقب نشینی کند
به هر حال تا به امروز دقیقا همانی شده که ایشان فرمودند. باید تا آخر ماه صبر کرد و دید که این بار آقایان به امتیازاتی که گرفته اند بسنده میکنند یا باز هم به قول معروف ِقر میآیند

But oh boy… what a result came out of that one….
I was chuffed to see Italy win since they played well and well deserved it. Anyway…. Enough of this crap as you might be reading better written commentaries on the game elsewhere.

Just a rant

2006-07-04T21:15:00.000+12:00

Once again NZ media proved that they are the lapdogs of the American propagandists and are a bunch of ass lickers whom apparently perceive honest journalism a non-profitable action and pure waste of resources.

The story goes about fellow US marines in Iraq (yeah I know Iraq again), who follow a car from a check point to their family home somewhere in Mahmudiyeh (where ever the hell that is on the map) and the disturbed soldiers shoot three family members in cold blood and two of them rape the younger female of the household before shooting her in the head several times, the long story short now the soldiers are back in the USA and apparently facing “justice” .

Now, obviously the above story is not worth mentioning in NZ media just because it reveals yet another brutal side on US occupation in Iraq, which doesn’t really appeal to the NZ media show runners.

My question is; How come if an American soldier get they thumb nail infected the public in NZ shall be made aware of it in no time via TV One and Three news as well as making it to the first page of the Dominion Post in Wellington but such acts against humanity have no place in NZ media?

Shame on NZ media policy makers, the western propaganda inflators that despite the unbiased approach of Helen Clark and the labor party of NZ toward the foreign relations, they rather praise they American and hide the atrocities they commit.

NZ is awake and awareness is spreading among the society regardless of how hard you try to fool people and feed them the news you want to.

Once again, the inventors of football stopped are from advancing to anywhere near world cup finals. It seems like there is a trend going with England lack of skills in penalty shoot outs. Anyway, I couldn’t have a better weekend when England lost. I was over the moon, just because their arrogance back fired and they got what they deserved and better still England LOST. :)

They have another four years to work till the next one, but this time all they need to practice is the penalty kicks and perhaps attend some interpersonal skills course (Attention Mr. Wayne Rooney) so next time will not step into a filed thinking they are undisputed champs. hahaha
Any news of hooligans (AKA "English Football supporters"), kicking, fighting and torching places yet or have I missed it all?

رهبران بی پدر در تاریخ ایران و اسلام

2006-06-29T08:20:00.000+12:00

اخیرا مقاله جالبی راه خود را در اینترنت باز کرده با مضمون رهبران بی پدر در تاریخ ایران و اسلام که توجه مرا جلب کرد ، تنها نکته اینکه تاریخهای اشاره شده از دقت برخوردار نمیباشد و ارزش مقاله را زیر سوال میبرد

به هر حال متن آنرا اینجا میگذارم برای داخل ایرانیها و آنها که از نعمت فیلترینگ برخوردارند

------------------------------------------------

چه کسي حکومت اسلامي را سرنگون خواهد کرد؟

نوشته ي عباس احمدي

خلاصه

در اين مقاله مي خواهم نشان بدهم که طبق سنن ايراني، حکومت اسلامي، به دست پسر يتيمي که در غيبت پدرپرورش يافته باشد، سرنگون خواهد شد.
طرح موضوع

از دوره ي صفويه تا زمان معاصر، بيشتر سلسله ها ي حکومتي، به دست مرداني بنيان نهاده شده است که در کودکي پدر خود را از دست داده اند و در غيبت پدر، در دامان مادر، بزرگ شده اند. اين ليست، از شاه اسماعيل اول، بنيانگذار سلسله ي صفويه شروع مي شود و به روح الله خميني، بنيانگذار حکومت اسلامي، ختم مي گردد. (تنها استثنا در اين مورد، نبودن اطلاعات کافي از دوران کودکي کريمخان زند، بنيانگدار سلسله ي زنديه است. شايد کريم نيز مانند اسماعيل وروح الله، پدر خود را در کودکي از دست داده بوده است و در غيبت پدر، در دامان مادر، بزرگ شده بوده است، اما من مدرکي در اين زمينه در دست ندارم و نمي توانم ادعايي در اين مورد بکنم.)
شاه اسماعيل اول (1524 – 1487 ميلادي)، بنيانگذار سلسله ي صفويه، پدر خود،حيدر، را در سن يک سالگي از دست مي دهد و پسر يتيم چندين سال به حالت مخفي، با مادرش، مارتا، زندگي مي کند و در دامان او پرورش مي يابد. مادر اسماعيل، دختر اوزون حسن، پادشاه معروف آق قويونلو، و کاترينا ، شاهزاده مسيحى طرابوزان بود

.
نادرشاه افشار (1747 – 1688 ميلادي)، بنيانگذار سلسله ي افشاريه، پدر خود را در طفوليت از دست مي دهد و به صورت يک

پسر يتيم در دامان مادرش پرورش مي يابد

.
آقا محمد خان قاجار (1797 – 1742 ميلادي)، بنيانگذار سلسله ي قاجاريه، پدر خود، محمد حسين خان ، را در سن طفوليت از دست مي دهد و به صورت يک پسر يتيم پرورش مي يابد

.
رضاشاه (40 – 1924 ميلادي)، بنيانگذار سلسله ي پهلوي، پدر خود، عباس علي، را هنگامي که شش ماهه بوده است از دست مي دهد و پسر شيرخواره در غياب پدر، در دامان مادرش، نوش آفرين، پرورش مي يابد

.
روح الله خميني (1979 – 1900 ميلادي)، بنيانگذار حکومت اسلامي، پدر خود سيد مصطفي هندي، را هنگامي که پنج ماه بوده است از دست مي دهد و پسر شيرخواره در غياب پدر، در دامان مادرش، هاجر، پرورش مي يابد

.
تحليل

چرا بنيانگذاران سلسله هاي حکومتي ايران در پانصد سال اخير، يتيم بوده اند؟چرا کساني که در غياب پدر، در دامان مادر بزرگ شده اند، توانسته اند در پانصد سال اخير، حکومت هاي تازه اي درايران بنيان بگذارند؟يتيم بودن افرادي مانند شاه اسماعيل اول، نادرشاه افشار، آقا محمد خان قاجار، رضاشاه پهلوي، و روح الله خميني، چه مزيتي به آن ها داده است که توانسته اند فلک را سقف بشکافند و طرحي نو در اندازند؟
براي پاسخ به اين پرسش ها، از دوره ي بزرگسالي ي اسماعيل و نادر و محمد و رضا و روح الله به دوران کودکي آنان مي رويم و محيط خانوادگي آن ها را از نظر روانشناسي مورد بررسي قرار مي دهيم.
پسران، از نظر روانشناختي ، از پنج مرحله ی عبور می کنند: مرحله ی دهانی (ازتولد تا سن یک سالگی)، مرحله ی مقعدی (از یک سالگی تا سه سالگی)، و مرحله ی قضیبی (از سه سالگی تا پنج سالگی)، مرحله ي خفتگی (از پنج سالگي تا آستانه ي بلوغ)، و مرحله ی تناسلی (از دوران بلوغ به بعد). از اين پنج مرحله، مرحله ي قضيبي، براي تحليل ما، از همه مهم تراست که در اين جا به آن مي پردازيم:
مرحله ي قضيبي يا “فاليك" (Phalic)، سومین مرحله ی تکامل شخصیت کودک است که از سه تا پنج سالگی طول می کشد. در این مرحله، مرکز لذت جنسى، قضيب است و پسران از راه ماليدن قضيب، خود را ارضا مى كنند. پسر بچه ها، در مرحله ي قضيبي ، مي خواهند با مادر خود جماعِ کنند و از اين که مادر در برابر حرکات و اعمال محبت آميز آن ها، واکنش منفي نشان مي دهد، دل آزرده و خشمگين اند. پسر زناکار، از پدر که رقيب عشقي اوست، به شدت بيزار است و در نهان آرزو مي کند که اي کاش مي توانست پدر را بکشد و در غيبت پدر، با مادر همبستر شود. (1)
در اين مرحله است كه سوپر ايگو يا وجدان اخلاقي، به زور بکن و نکن هاي پدر، و به صورت مقررات مذهبي و اجتماعي، وارد ضمير خودآگاه پسر مي شود. "سوپر ايگو" باعث مي شود که پسر بتواند به قوانين نظام حاکم تسليم شود و غريزه ي "اروس" (شهوت حيات) و"تاناتوس" (شهوت ممات) خود را سرکوب کند و با سرکوب عرايز خود، مقهور و مطيع نظام حاکم بشود. بنابراين، غيبت پدر در پسراني که سر سفره ي پدرشان بزرگ نشده اند، باعث مي شود که سوپر ايگو يا قاضي وجدان در آن ها استحکام چنداني نيابد. ضعف و ناتواني سوپرايگو باعث مي شود که پسر جوان، چندان مطيع و منقاد و مقهور قوانين نظام حاکم نباشد.
در مورد پسراني که در غيبت پدر، در دامان مادر، پرورش مي يابند، سوپر ايگو، فدرت چنداني ندارد و اين افراد بهتر مي توانند با نظم و نظام موجود در بيافتند و آن را سرنگون کنند و طرحي نو در اندازند. در ايران از روزگار صفويه تاکنون، سرسلسله ها، همه از ميان اين مردان برخاسته اند.
نمونه هاي مذهبي

به غير از نمونه هاي تاريخي که در بالا ذکر شد، پديده ي يتيم بودن بنيانگذاران، در مذهب نيزمشاهده مي شود. پيامبران اديان ابراهيمي، مانند موسي . مسيح، و محمد، هر سه يتيم و در غياب پدر، پرورش يافته اند. حضرت موسي را در آب مي اندازند و آسيه او را از آب مي گيرد. پدر مسيح نيز در آسمان ها از نظر غايب است. پدر حضرت محمد (ص) نيز قبل از تولد ايشان، فوت مي نمايند و حضرت محمد (ص) در دامان مادر شان، حضرت آمنه، پرورش مي يابند.
نمونه هاي اساطيري

در اساطير ايراني، پديده ي يتيم بودن سرسلسله ها در داستان فريدون و ضحاک ديده مي شود. به روايت شاهنامه، ضحاک ماردوش، آبتين، پدر فريدون را مي کشد و فريدون در کودکي يتيم مي شود:
فريدون کـه بودش پدر آبـتين / شده تـنـگ بر آبـتين بر زمينگريزان و از خويشتن گشتـه سير / برآويخـت ناگاه بر کام شيراز آن روزبانان ناپاک مرد / تـني چـند روزي بدو باز خورد گرفـتـند و بردند بستـه چو يوز / برو بر سر آورد ضـحاک روزفرانک، مادر فريدون، او را به گاو پرمايه مي سپارد و فريدون، به دور از پدر، توسط گاوپرمايه، بزرگ مي شود:
خردمـند مام فريدون چو ديد / کـه بر جفت او بر چـنان بد رسيد پر از داغ دل خـسـتـه روزگار / هـمي رفـت پويان بدان مرغزارکـجا نامور گاو برمايه بود / کـه بايسـتـه بر تنش پيرايه بود سه سالش همي داد زان گاو شير / هـشيوار بيدار زنـهارگير
فريدون سرانجام ضحاک ماردوش را شکست مي دهد و او را در کوه دماوند به بند مي کشد:
بـبردند ضـحاک را بستـه خوار / بـه پـشـت هيوني برافکنده زار هـمي راند او را بـه کوه اندرون / همي خواست کارد سرش را نگون بياورد ضـحاک را چون نوند / بـه کوه دماوند کردش بـبـند فرو بست دستـش بر آن کوه باز / بدان تا بـماند به سـخـتي دراز ازو نام ضـحاک چون خاک شد / جـهان از بد او هـمـه پاک شد
شايد يکي از علل ناتواني سيد محمد خاتمي در انجام اصلاحات در دوران رياست جمهوري اش اين بود که در کودکي يتيم نشده بود. سيد محمد خاتمي پدر خود، سيد روح الله خاتمي، را هنگامي که چهل و پنج سال داشت از دست داد. "رضا پهلوي" نيز در کودکي يتيم نشده است، و از نظر روانشناسي تاريخي ايران، قابليت روحي و رواني براي بت شکني و براندازي حکومت اسلامي را ندارد. حکومت اسلامي، احتمالا، به پيروي از سنت هاي ايراني، سرانجام به وسيله ي پسر يتيمي که در غيبت پدرپرورش يافته یاشد، سرنگون خواهد شد.

بچه دار شدن؟؟ چرا؟

2006-06-27T13:54:00.000+12:00

چرا بچه دار شدن در این دوره و زمانه بهترین گزینه موجود نیست؟ به نظر من از سه دیدگاه می شود به این موضوع نگاه کرد؛

اجتماعی عاطفی وفلسفی.
اجتماعی
در این دوره و زمانه که آینده بیش از پیش تیره تر ، پیچیده و مخاطرات نزدیکتر و ترسناکترند و احتمال به وقوع پیوستن مسایلی که آدمی را تهدید میکند ( جرج بوشِ آمریکا ، احمدی نژادِ ایران، بمب اتمی ، پدیده گازهای گلخانه ای و اختلافات مذهبی و قومی ودیگر امراض …) بیش از پیش هست بچه دار شدن دل شیر میخواهد.
غریزه والدین را فراهم کننده میداند ، آدمی همانند حیوانات با طبعیت از غریزه ، هم و غم خود را فراهم آوردن اسباب آسایش و نگهداری از بچه میداند. حال با همگی این اوصاف چگونه یک پدر با مادر درسده بیست و یکم میتواند با اطمینان خاطر ریسک کرده و آماده به دنیا آوردن معصومی شود که تنها خدا داند که آینده برای او چه رقم خواهد زد؟نا آگاهی از آینده چیزنوینی نیست ونباید آنچنان مخوف بنماید، ولی فراز و نشیبهایی که دنیای نوین برایمان به ارمغان آورده آینده را چند برابر تیره تر جلوه میدهد.
عاطفی
دوباره دنیای امروزی را مقصر میدانم. در این عصر که همگی به گونه شبانه روزی سرگرم به دست و پنجه نرم کردن با دشواریهای پرشمار خود هستیم و برای بقا صدچندان درگیرتر ازهمتای خود در سی یا چهل سال پیش که حتی وقت برای پدر و مادر خود نداریم ، با چه فکر بخردانه ای خواهان پا به جهان گذاشتن دیگرانیم. پدران و مادران ما (نسل ما) چه خوشخیال بودند هنگامیکه «خدا ما را به آنها داد». نسلــــی که با بودن شرایط موجود بارِ خویش را به سختی به دوش میکشد چه رسد به اینکه عصـــای دستی باشد. پدران و مادرانی که با خون دل خوردن و زجر کشیدن هر یک از ما را بزرگ کرده و پرِ پرواز داده. آیا انصافا نسل کنونی با شرایط کنونی توانای به تحقق بخشیدن به نیمی از نیازها هست؟؟ بر فرض محال که شرایط فراهم و فرزندان موفق ، با چه دلی آماده بدرقه آنان به دنیای تیره و تار خواهید شد؟ منِ نوعی از این فکر بیزارم و تصورش برایم غیر قابل ممکن.
فلسفی

آیا کسی میداند که چه تعداد بچه یتیم در این دنیا وجود دارد؟ کسی میداند هزاران بچه در هر روز خدا میمیرند فقط به خاطر شانس بد و اقبال برگشته اشان و جایی که در آن به دنیا آمده اند؟ از بحث مکان و جغرافیا که بگذریم کم نیستند کودکان معصوم و بیگناهی که باوجود اینکه در کشوری با قاعده به دنیا آمده اند هر روز زجری بیشتر از روز قبل میکشند و کسی فریاد رسشان نیست. جان ِ کلام اینکه اگر توانایی مالی و عاطفی و کمی عقل وجود داشته باشد کمتر کسی باید حاضر به بچه دار شدن در این دوره و زمانه شود و در عوض بایست بی پناهی را زیر بال و پر خود بگیرد چون ارضا کننده تمامی غرایض خود شده و قدم مثبتی در راه بشریت برداشته است.

سفارتچی های بیسواد

2006-06-08T16:28:00.000+12:00

بر حسب کنجکاوی به وب سایت سفارت ایران در چین سری زدم تا نگاهی به قوانین صدور روادید بیندازم، در کمال ناباوری پاراگرافی را در قسمت امور کنسولی خواندم سرشار از غلط املایی و انشایی
واقعا باورش برایم مشکل است ، دوستان عزیز سفارتی چه خاکی به سرشان میکنند که حتی قادر به نوشتن چهار خط بدون غلط به زبان بین المللی انگلیسی نیستند؟
خطوط را کپی کردم و اسپل چکر ماکروسافت غلطها را مشخص کرد ، خود ببینید و قضاوت کنید

راستی ظاهرا شرایط کار در سفارتخانه ها قبل از انقلاب، داشتن دوست و آشنا در ساواک بوده اما در این دوره و زمانه چی؟؟ لابد نداشتن سواد

2006-05-30T11:44:00.000+12:00

با دوستی صحبت میکردم که او هم مثل من به تاریخ و امور جمهوری خلق چین علاقه دارد. قرار شد لیستی از کتابهایی که اخیرا خوندیم را مبادله کنیم و احیانا در مورد بعضی از آنها صحبت. گفتم بهتر است که این لیست را در اینجا بگذارم شاید بقیه هم که علایق مشابه دارند خواستند و مشارکت کردند. این لیست شامل کتابهای غیر داستانی هست که از ژانویه 2006 تا حال خوندم و در مورد اغلبشون هم یک بررسی اجمالی چند پاراگرافی کردم که اگر کسی خواست میتونم اینجا بگذارم

Been talking to a friend who is interested in Chinese history as well as current affairs and we came up with a deal to exchange the name of the book we have read recently on the subject and perhaps talk about a few of them. I thought I better published the list here incase anyone else wants to contribute their penny worth. The list is consist of all non-fiction books I have read since January 2006. By habit I keep a summary of whatever I read for future reference and I’d be more than happy to post them up here should anyone be interested.

Iran: the Salvador Option

2006-05-10T08:41:00.000+12:00

John Pilger – New Statesman Monday May 8, 2006

The lifts in the New York Hilton played CNN on a small screen you could not avoid watching. Iraq was top of the news; pronouncements about a "civil war" and "sectarian violence" were repeated incessantly. It was as if the US invasion had never happened and the killing of tens of thousands of civilians by the Americans was a surreal fiction.
The Iraqis were mindless Arabs, haunted by religion, ethnic strife and the need to blow themselves up. Unctuous puppet politicians were paraded with no hint that their exercise yard was inside an American fortress. And when you left the lift, this followed you to your room, to the hotel gym, the airport, the next airport and the next country. Such is the power of America's corporate propaganda, which, as Edward Said pointed out in Culture and Imperialism, "penetrates electronically" with its equivalent of a party line.
The party line changed the other day. For almost three years it was that al-Qaeda was the driving force behind the "insurgency", led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a bloodthirsty Jordanian who was clearly being groomed for the kind of infamy Saddam Hussein enjoys. It mattered not that al-Zarqawi had never been seen alive and that only a fraction of the "insurgents" followed al-Qaeda. For the Americans, Zarqawi's role was to distract attention from the thing that almost all Iraqis oppose: the brutal Anglo-American occupation of their country.
Now that al-Zarqawi has been replaced by "sectarian violence" and "civil war", the big news is the attacks by Sunnis on Shia mosques and bazaars. The real news, which is not reported in the CNN "mainstream", is that the Salvador Option has been invoked in Iraq. This is the campaign of terror by death squads armed and trained by the US, which attack Sunnis and Shias alike. The goal is the incitement of a real civil war and the break-up of Iraq, the original war aim of Bush's administration.
The ministry of the interior in Baghdad, which is run by the CIA, directs the principal death squads. Their members are not exclusively Shia, as the myth goes. The most brutal are the Sunni-led Special Police Commandos, headed by former senior officers in Saddam's Ba'ath Party.

This unit was formed and trained by CIA "counter-insurgency" experts, including veterans of the CIA's terror operations in central America in the 1980s, notably El Salvador. In his new book, Empire's Workshop (Metropolitan Books), the American historian Greg Grandin describes the Salvador Option thus: "Once in office, [President] Reagan came down hard on central America, in effect letting his administration's most committed militarists set and execute policy.

In El Salvador, they provided more than a million dollars a day to fund a lethal counter-insurgency campaign . . . All told, US allies in central America during Reagan's two terms killed over 300,000 people, tortured hundreds of thousands and drove millions into exile." Although the Reagan administration spawned the current Bushites, or "neo-cons", the pattern was set earlier. In Vietnam, death squads trained, armed and directed by the CIA murdered up to 50,000 people in Operation Phoenix.
In the mid-1960s in Indonesia CIA officers compiled "death lists" for General Suharto's killing spree during his seizure of power. After the 2003 invasion, it was only a matter of time before this venerable "policy" was applied in Iraq. According to the investigative writer Max Fuller (National Review Online), the key CIA manager of the interior ministry death squads "cut his teeth in Vietnam before moving on to direct the US military mission in El Salvador".
Professor Grandin names another central America veteran whose job now is to "train a ruthless counter-insurgent force made up of ex-Ba'athist thugs".
Another, says Fuller, is well-known for his "production of death lists". A secret militia run by the Americans is the Facilities Protection Service, which has been responsible for bombings. "The British and US Special Forces," concludes Fuller, "in conjunction with the [US-created] intelligence services at the Iraqi defence ministry, are fabricating insurgent bombings of Shias." On 16 March, Reuters reported the arrest of an American "security contractor" who was found with weapons and explosives in his car.
Last year, two Britons disguised as Arabs were caught with a car full of weapons and explosives; British forces bulldozed the Basra prison to rescue them. The Boston Globe recently reported: "The FBI's counter-terrorism unit has launched a broad investigation of US-based theft rings after discovering that some of the vehicles used in deadly car bombings in Iraq, including attacks that killed US troops and Iraqi civilians, were probably stolen in the United States, according to senior government officials." As I say, all this has been tried before - just as the preparation of the American public for an atrocious attack on Iran is similar to the WMD fabrications in Iraq.

If that attack comes, there will be no warning, no declaration of war, no truth. Imprisoned in the Hilton lift, staring at CNN, my fellow passengers could be excused for not making sense of the Middle East, or Latin America, or anywhere. They are isolated. Nothing is explained. Congress is silent. The Democrats are moribund. And the freest media on earth insult the public every day. As Voltaire put it: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” This article first appeared in the New Statesman.

Open letter to President Bush by an Iranian academic

2006-04-30T22:08:00.000+12:00

By Pirouz Mojtahed-Zadeh

His Excellency President George W. Bush
The White House
Washington DC.
United States of America

16 April 2006

Mr. President

I am writing to you in the name of peace and in the name of human dignity. And in the absence of a balanced debate in Western political, academic and media circles on the issue of Iran’s nuclear energy program, I would humbly invite Your Excellency to spend a few minutes of your most valuable time to read an alternative argument about the said issue for the sake of peace and preservation of human dignity.

I wrote to you once before (5/2/2002) to say that as an academic of Iranian origin in Great Britain, I was seriously offended by your remarks in your state of the union address of that year about our nation being a member of the so-called axis of evil. In that letter I stated that Iran was not Afghanistan or Iraq to have been created by the former British Empire for their geo-strategic needs of the time and/thus it is not be meddled with by new powers when desired. It is a nation of about 70 million with a long history of civilization; a major contribution to the progress of mankind and a substantial cultural influence in the region. It is equipped with a strong sense of national identity and patriotism. Perhaps Iran’s eight years of relentless defense in the face of Saddam Hussein’s war that was encouraged by Washington and supported by the Soviet Union and almost all who profess to be US ally, including Britain, France, Germany, Israel etc. who directly or otherwise breached the UN imposed ban on supply of arms to the belligerent states and armed Saddam Hussein with all kinds of military hardware and intelligence, as well as soldiers and countless of billions of dollars from Arab states of the Persian Gulf. The world witnessed that against all these and in spite of its defense ability having been seriously undermined in the process of revolution that preceded the war, the Iranians staged a resistance of the kind that had no precedence in the history of mankind. With their bare foot they marched on Iraq of Baath Party and with their hands deprived of any advanced weaponry they effectively defeated Saddam Hussein and all those who backed him, chasing them back to where they had come from. I think that unmatched display of national unity and pride made it clear to all that Iran is not Afghanistan or Iraq of former description.

I also pointed out that as a nation-state of today; Iran has come a long way. Exactly a century ago, when all of Asia was still living in dark ages this nation began its eventful journey to the modern world of human dignity, social equality, political integrity and economic prosperity. In this long journey, Iran has experienced many ups and downs, but never succumbed to the indignity of accepting outside interests deciding for its destiny. The task of democratization of Iran might not have, as yet, been completely successful, but Sir, when you talk about wanting to spread your brand of democracy to the so-called Greater Middle East or creating democracy in Iraq in order to influence Iran, you could have taken into consideration the fact that first; democracy is real and sustainable when it is home-grown. Second; the US version of democracy, in which the lobbies are gradually replacing the demo, leaves much to be desired, as your Excellency has appointed two of former US presidents to study ways of improving on its election system. Third, there is not any symbol of democracy in the Middle East to be modeled on by the others; in reality, there is no democracy in the Middle East; Israel is a state that deprives a large segment of its population of the basic human rights; sends tanks and helicopters to fight women and children; invades its neighbours to grab their lands; pays no attention to repeated UN resolutions to behave responsibly etc. Turkey, though has managed to construct a façade of democracy as a result of pressure from the US and EU, its military junta decides how the Turks and non-Turks are to live there. The mockery of the concept of democracy US friends have created in places like Jordan and Egypt, cannot be acceptable even by Washington.

It seems Sir, your advisers either do not have the necessary knowledge or do not find it discernable to explain that apart from Bahrain, Iran is the only country in the Middle East that has made some progress towards a real democracy; it still has many problems, but the society is debating a democracy that cannot be sustainable unless it is home-grown. Moreover, given Iran’s millennial civilizational and cultural influence in West Asia, it is more likely that Iran’s progress in democracy influenced Iraq and others in that part of the world to develop their own homogenous democracy, if only the West stops meddling in the internal affairs of Iran and others in Muslim Middle East. Having said all that, it is no denying however, that we Iranians still have a long way to go to achieve our final national goals in this respect, but that has very little to do with outside powers, and for that matter, I would not even bore you explaining what these problems are. In fact, US interference in support for those involved in democratic debates will inevitably brand our hard work as being inspired or instructed by a power that unfortunately leaves no stone unturned in proving to be our national enemy.

Sir, evidently you have heeded these parts of my said letter and on some occasions you indeed repeated the fact that Iran is not Iraq or Afghanistan, and/thus promised to treat Iran differently. You even went as far as stating in your ‘state of the union’ address of 31 January 2006 that: Tonight, let me speak directly to the citizens of Iran: America respects you, and we respect your country. We respect your right to choose your own future and win your own freedom. And our nation hopes one day to be the closest of friends with a free and democratic Iran. But Sir; did you really mean that America respects our nation and that you respect our country? Or your government’s frantic endeavor to construct an internationally acceptable case to justify destruction of our country by war or worldwide economic sanction is their way of respect for Iran as a nation? Are we to believe that your efforts and those of your Secretary of State for instance to get India to retreat from Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline deal which is vitally important to the economy of all three, is your way of showing respect for the Iranians; a project that has nothing to do with Iran’s strategic policies and nuclear program? Surly you know that each time Washington threatens Iran of military options, the business world in Iran looses large portions of its hard earned business, which has nothing to do with the ruling clergy. Is this your government’s way of expressing respect for Iran as a nation?

Sir, in their shortsighted views, your neo-con aids and advisers may think of Iran as a terrorist nation who cannot be trusted to have nuclear weapon while India, Pakistan and Israel who are constantly at war can have it. But it is sad that the President of the United States is not advised by wise people that America has never been short of, that under any kind of regime, Iran has not even threatened any nation in the past 200 years, and/or there has not been even one single Iranian involved in so many terrorist activities of the recent years. Iran is a civilized nation that is fully aware that nuclear weapon is not to be used; that it is for regional and global deterrence and balance of power for peace. Iran is fully aware that even international villains like Stalin, Hitler did not use their nuclear weapons. Even Ariel Sharon did not threaten to use nuclear weapon against those he considered as enemies of his country; but the United States of America did use it at the end of World War II. Not only America has failed to justify use of this evil tool to the satisfaction of human conscience, but also is using the bunker buster variety of it in its military adventure in Iraq and is threatening to use it against our country. Iran believes that even as deterrence, nuclear weapon cannot guarantee lasting peace and security in the world and/thus what is needed for the Middle East at least, is a nuclear disarmament that would make her age-old desire of a nuclear free zone in that volatile region a reality.

Sir, may I respectfully assure you that very few Iranians have been influenced by your promise of respect for our country and our right to choose our own future. This was more like asking us to ignore what we see in your government’s fierce global endeavour to get our nation condemned internationally, not because it is really developing nuclear weapon, but because of the Islam-o-phobic fear of a few in Israel that Iran might decide sometime in future to develop nuclear weapon and might decide to use it against Israel. Your UN Ambassador, John Bolton, promised the AIPAC meeting of Zionist Lobby on 7 March 2006 to inflict pain on Iran in that international forum. When making that promise, he twisted his fist in gesture to display his hatred of Iran and the sadistic desire to inflicting pain on a nation that his boss had claimed to have respect for.

Moreover, you have made the best of President Ahmadinejad’s ideological remarks about the state of Israel ought to be wiped off the world map; a non-practical proposition; an expression of ideological wish which was not supported by proposing any practical plan or policy for carrying it out; an ideological rhetoric that had been repeated many times before him in the world of Islam without having caused such a fuss. But you Sir, made the best of this ideological expression by presenting it as launching plans to eradicate the state of Israel and mixed it, may I say respectfully, disingenuously with the lie about Iran having built or is about to build nuclear weapons to use against Israel… in order to justify an international ganging up of the strong against the weak so that the way is paved at the United Nations to sanction wiping the state of Iran off the map of the world. The problem of Islam-o-phobia in the West seems to have reached the point that even comparing Israel to a rotten tree triggers angry promises by the State Department that the US will make the G8 summit to declare sanctions to starve the people of Iran because their president does not like Israel. He certainly seems to have touched a raw nerve in Washington. On the other hand, let us assume for the argument’s sake that Iran has a nuclear bomb and wants to use it against Israel. How could anyone think that an Islamic state would dare to drop atomic bomb on Israel without causing catastrophe to Muslim nations of the Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine, the densely populated areas of which are situated in such a close proximity of Israel’s population centres. The Israeli extremists have for obvious reasons suffered historically from the over-exaggerated fear of their safety and security. Even expression of doubt about the holocaust leads to imprisonment of a British historian for three years in a Western democracy, and telling a pestering Jewish reporter off will result in suspending for a month the office of the elected Maier of London. But publishing the optimum of insult against the prophet of Islam is covered by the freedom of speech???

On the other hand, by concocting fanciful statistics about the ethnic variations forming the nation of Iran, the naïve but over-zealous Michael Ladeen for instance, gathered together after your state of the union address of this year, all the wondering gangs of terrorists and separatists amongst Iranian Americans; elements who are openly on the pay of either the CIA (like MKO/MEK), or some Pan-Turkish and/or Pan-Arab sources, (like the Gray Wolf and Al-Ahvaz) encouraging them to fight for the disintegration of Iran. Meanwhile, your Secretary of State asks the Congress to allocate a budget of several million dollars to pay for the expenses of the activities of the gangs that are being used by all the president’s men and woman in order to wipe the state of Iran off the map. Your overzealous neo-con colleagues like Michael Ladeen are too naive to realize that these elements are consumed by their racially inclined ideas, and that playing with the fire of racism of their kind can be as dangerous to world peace and stability as playing with the fire of religious extremism in Pakistan and Afghanistan proved to be. They seem not to have drawn any lesson from US experience of trying to use Islamic extremism in 1980s against Soviet Union in Afghanistan which has been the cause of all anti-West terrorism of our world of today.

Similarly, your allies in Britain and Canada have not learnt any lesson about the danger of playing with the fire of religious or racial extremism. Their leaders have met the leader of terrorist gang al-Ahvaz and promised support for him. The British have in fact went as far as granting this terrorist gang permission to place their head-office in London where it had attacked and occupied Iranian Embassy in 1980 when they were invented by Saddam Hussein at the start of his war against Iran. The siege of the Embassy was crashed in the famous SIS operation and the gang was officially branded as ‘terrorist’ by the British authorities. Now that this gang is revived and is actively engaged in bombing campaign in Iran which has caused great harm to our brother Iranian Arabs of Khuzestan, your government described their terrorism as action in the defense of the rights of the Arab nation (in Iran), and asked Iran not to try and eradicate their terror against Iranian Arabs who were first to make so much sacrifice in the defence of their Iranian homeland in Saddam Hussein’s war. Similar request was made by the British who are supporting them in the hope that they will contribute to the US-Israeli-Canadian-British sponsored plot to wipe Iran off the map of the world. In other word: while President Ahmadinejad only expresses an ideological wish about the state of Israel, US, Israel, UK, and Canada actively endeavour to support those who are poised to wipe Iran off the map of the map.

But in the final analysis, may I ask if it is true that the costly and dangerous US efforts in making the idea of clash of Christian West with Muslim East a reality, is about America being committed to the defense of the state of Israel, or it is about defending the excesses of the regime in Israel and its desire to keep the lands they have stolen from their Arab neighbours? Is it really because Dr. Ahamdinejad wants to single-handedly wipe out the state of Israel, or the reality is that your government has been made to commit itself to grant the extremists like Ariel Sharon, his successor, and others like Netanyahu their atrocious wish of devastating any nation in the world of Islam who dares to support the Palestinian struggle to regain their homes, their dignity and their basic human rights in their own homeland?. When the majority of the Israelis sensibly enforced the policy of ‘land for peace’, the United States failed to adequately support that humane proposition by trying to prevent Zionist extremists from conspiring to overthrow that policy. Instead, your government supported Sharon’s overbearing policies even to the detriment of your own road map; your government failed to give proper support to the wise initiative of H. M. King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, and failed measurably to remember your own admission in the wake of September 11 that all these problems come from your blind support of people like Ariel Sharon in Israel and that you were going to modify your one-sided policies towards Arab-Israeli conflicts. Instead of remembering to do that, your government invaded and occupied Afghanistan; invaded and occupied Iraq, and now is threatening to invade Iran while completely complacent about the impracticality of the task and its terrifying consequence in the form of realization of the clash of civilizations (clash of Christian West with Muslim East) etc.

As far as Iran is concerned, the United States started, from the time of the emergence of the Islamic Republic, to use any kind of excuses to enforce a regime change even at the price of devastating Iran and its neighbouring nations. The first excuse was that Iran was exporting its revolution to the neighbouring states and US friends and allies in the West and in the region bought that hilarious claim without asking themselves how could any revolution be exported. A war with more than one million dead and well over a thousand billion dollars of devastation was encouraged and supported by the West against Iran with no result for anyone except that it united the people of Iran with the revolutionary Islamic Republic, which in turn guaranteed its survival in its shaky start.

Now, by wanting to repeat the same adventure, this time not using the Saddams of the region, but directly, your government is repeating the same mistake by making an excuse of Iran’s nuclear energy program to justify your incomprehensible threats of new wars and devastation in the Muslim Middle East. For this, of course you have the support of a handful of right-wing extremists like John Howard of Australia and Silvio Berlusconi of Italy with their psychopathic views of Islam and other races. But as far as world opinion is concerned, please do not let your naïve Secretary of State and her British counterpart prevent you from knowing the fact that the world considers the United States of America under the neo-cons as a new Empire that has become the main source of threat against global security, and its president, may I respectfully say, as a war-monger who would do only the pleasure of those in Israel and USA suffering from their Islam-o-phobia.

On the other hand, in order to paint a legal colour to disguise these war-mongering and to achieve an international justification for your said plan against Iran and its people, your ally in Britain, H. E. Premier Blair argued (on 9th March 2006) that: Obligations that are entered into in the international community should be kept, and if they aren't that's a serious situation and that's the reason for reporting Iran to UNSC. But he failed to make it clear as to how Iran's voluntary undertaking in the temporary Paris agreement of 2004 for the interim period of Iran-EU3 negotiations, has in his judgment amounted to Iran's international obligations of permanent nature? In the face of such ambiguity in reference one can only assume that Mr. Blair refers to Iran's withdrawal of voluntary undertakings, when she was enticed to voluntarily suspend its uranium enrichment process for as long as negotiations with EU3 went on. I hope I will not be considered as too presumptuous to propose that before accusing Iran of not honouring its so-called international obligations, Mr. Blair needed to make it clear firstly; weather or not Iran's agreement to suspend all activities regarding uranium enrichment was a voluntary or an obligatory undertaking. Certainly the undertaking could not have been obligatory and imposed upon her under duress as it would be totally against NPT and other international laws and regulations. But on the other hand, if the undertaking was voluntary, then we seem to have differences of opinion as to what a voluntary undertaking would mean. English dictionary tell us that a voluntary undertaking is a state of affairs that could be: Arising, acting, or resulting from somebody's own choice or decision rather than because of external pressure or force. Should this definition be acceptable then surely a voluntary undertaking and an international obligation are mutually exclusive and present contradiction in terms.

Secondly, it is of consequence that Misers Blair & Chirac and Ms. Merkel made it clear if there was a time-limit in the Paris agreement for Iran's suspension of uranium enrichment activities, for if no time-limit was provisioned then it could not have been considered as a finally concluded legal instrument that required no further negotiations. But as talks went on after the signing of that agreement, then it could not have been but an interim legal instrument only designed to better shape the negotiations which were hoped to arriving at a treaty according to which both the West would build confidence with Iran’s nuclear program and Iran would be allowed to enjoy its established rights under the terms of NPT (Article IV) to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. And that the nuclear states of the West would be obligated to assist the non-nuclear Iran with the development of nuclear energy, while they could legally observe her to make sure that Tehran did not deviate from peaceful use of nuclear energy.

On the other hand, in spite of confirmation by all international onlookers that US-Indian nuclear deal of March 2006 has seriously weakened the proliferation regime by making a mockery of the NPT regulations, Mr. El-Baradei, the obliging Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) praised that unjustifiable deal on March 2, 2006 as "would boost non-proliferation efforts". By so serving the pleasure of the United States, he ignored the plane fact that that deal allows India, which has already developed nuclear weapons, to keep its secret strategic nuclear sites away from any inspection by IAEA. This is the UN official who, under the US and EU3 pressure reported Iran to the UN Security Council on the basis of innuendos such as: Iran was not completely honest in its disclosure of everything some time in the past: yet he declined to state the truth that IAEA investigations eventually found out everything about Isfahan and Natanz, which proved those sites to be problem-free and formed the integral parts of Iran's rights to peaceful nuclear energy, and that failure of their disclosure was because of administrative mismanagement than anything else. Or; in her cooperation with the IAEA investigation Iran showed some reluctance in allowing agents to inspect some of its military bases: But, he fails to remember that in his reports of investigations he repeatedly praised Iran for cooperating with the task of investigation. He also fails to mention that this reluctance is normal as no other state welcomes any prospect of its sensitive military sites being intrusively looked at by foreign agents who would not give any real guarantee for the confidentiality of information that are deemed to be vital for national security of the state being investigated. These are, at best, debatable issues for IAEA Board of Governors. UN Security Council is not the forum to debate them, but why you Sir, and your obliging friends in London, Paris and Bonn insist it to be referred to the United Nations? Can the answer be anything but what Ambassador Bolton has promised his AIPAC friends?

Mr. El-Baradei reported the case of Iran’s nuclear energy program to the UN Security Council solely to make it possible for John Bolton to inflict his promised pain on Iran, in spite of the fact that the UN Security Council’s job is to find solutions to real threats to world peace from rebel states like Israel, not to condemn a member nation like Iran to war and devastation on the basis of a decided crisis over her future nuclear energy plans; a nation that has not even threatened another country for the past two centuries. This gentleman has bravely discarded the embarrassment that the file he reported to the UN Security Council not only contained no evidence of wrong doing on the part of Iran, but also puts on full display before the world opinion his own repeated official reports of investigation of all sites in Iran and verification that no evidence had been found to incriminate Iran of any plan for developing nuclear weapons. Yet, he unashamedly asked the Security Council to deal with Iran’s case for the purpose of ‘inflicting pain’ on its people on the basis of the said innuendos. In returning El-Baradei’s report to him the UN Security Council returned to him for implementation of the idea of giving Iran 30 days to deprive itself of an independent nuclear energy research for all eternity; a demand that cannot be acceptable even to the weakest of nations. No government in the world can decide to deprive all future generations of its nation from their established rights. But when it comes to a point as incomprehensible as this, UN Security Council is to be asked to verify that asking Iran to indefinitely deprive itself of nuclear research activities would not effectively mean to paralyse the NPT protection of Iran, and that its membership of the treaty is lost, and her continued membership is just as good as withdrawn.

Sir in the final assessment of what the governments of the neo-cons have done so far, I have to regretfully say, that it amounts to no less than total destruction of America’s post-World War II credibility as a power that supports peace, democracy and human rights in the world. To destroy this highly praised position, the neo-cons had to ignore the facts of history and principles of civility; In order to make their imperialistic desire of New World Order in the wake of the collapse of the by-polar world order, they ignored the advice of those wiser amongst the Americans like Professor Russell Kirk who observed: Our prospects in the world of the twenty-first century are bright – supposing we Americans do not swagger about the globe, proclaiming our omniscience and our omnipotence…. Any American New World Order will likely cause the United States to be more detested – beginning with the Arab peoples (Muslims) – than the Soviet Union ever was.

From the point of view of the Iranians, all your Excellency’s government has done by ganging up US and EU3 against the established rights of the people of Iran, was to unite this people behind the Islamic Republic once again, but this time in a way that has no precedence in Iran’s history. Apart from those involved in terrorism, all those in the camp opposed to the IRI have united to defend Iran’s legitimate rights; the national right that you and your European colleagues are pressing the IRI to suspend indefinitely without even thinking how could it be possible for any government to sign a document that deprives even the unborn generations of its nation of nuclear energy. No state can make such a pledge, but the atrocious demand has motivated an all out national unity, which at this particular junction of our national debate for democracy, can only slow done this debate that is vitally important for the future of peace and stability of Iran and the neighbouring nations.

2006-04-28T09:20:00.000+12:00

ظاهرا جامعه مدرسین قم طبق معمول شکرخوری کرده و گفتند که" تامين امنيت در ورزشگاه‌ها خصوصاً براي بانوان محترم با مشكلات جدي مواجه است". یکی نیست بگه آخه مملکتی که نتونه نظم یه ورزشگاه داخل خاک خودش رو بر قرار کنه چه کارش به جنگ و شاخ و شونه کشیدن و گه خوری زیادی کردن؟؟؟

روسپیگری در تایلند, بخش یک

2006-04-26T15:58:00.000+12:00

این مقاله پیش درآمدی است به مقوله روسپیگری (در میان ایرانیان و تاجیکها و ازبکها) در شهر بانکوک. کلیه اطلاعات بر اساس مشاهدات نویسنده میباشد.
در طی سفر اولم به بانکوک2003-2004 با پدیده روسپیگری در سطح صنعتی آشنا شدم و قبل از آن از عمقش کاملا بی اطلاع بودم. چندی نگذشت که بزرگی و اندازه این غول پر درآمد مرا متعجب و به فکر واداشت. در طی مدت اقامت چند ماهه ام مسایلی را دیدم که بازگو کردن آنرا لازم میدانم؛ باشد که خوانندگان از آن سود ببرند.

بسیارشنیده بودم از دبی و سهم بزرگ ایرانی جماعت در صنعت سکس آنجا و اینکه چگونه عرب و عجم از این میوهای خدادادی استفاده و شکرگذار خالق یکتا و برادران غیور در سمت کارگذاران کشورند که بانی خیر شده و این نعمات الهی را به این شهر سرازیر کرده اند.همیشه در افکارم غوطه ور میشدم و سعی در تصور افراد؛محیط و زندگیشان داشتم. روزی از یکی از دوستان پرسیدم که آیا تا به حال ایرانیهایی را دیده است که به این حرفه در بانکوک مشغولند و در کمال ناباوری جواب مثبت شنیدم. از او پرسیدم اگر او تا به حال به چشم خود دیده است یا فقط شنیده ؛ گفت که به چشم خود دیده و مرا هم میتواند به آنجا ببرد.
قصه دراز کوتاه کنم, دو سه شب گذشت و به آنجا رفتیم.

کلاب "تونیز" در خیابان "نانا نوآ"* طبقه پایین هتل"تونیز"* نبش کوچه بیمارستان "بم رونگراد" * قرار دارد. 250 بت ورودی برای هر نفرو نوشیدنیهایی که سه برابر قیمت جاهای دیگر. در بدو ورود محیط کاملا شبیه به نایب کلاب معمولی است با نور کم و موزیک بلند. دور تا دور بر سر هر میز چندین دختر نشسته است. شمارشان تقریبا 25-30 نفر. همگی لباس شب پوشیده با آرایشهای نه چندان آنچنانی بعضی سیگار به لب و بعضی گیلاس به دست. هم بلوند و هم تیره. همگی انگلیسی را با لهجه بلغور میکنند و بعضا فارسی (هم تاجیکی و هم دری)و روسی در میان مکالماتشان به گوش میرسد. اینان همگی تاوان بی درایتی سیاستمداران و رهبران کشورهاشان را با تن فروشی میدهند چه آنان که از کشورهای تازه استقلال یافته اند و چه ایرانیان.
از قانون و عرف این مکان و چگونگی انجام معامله بگذریم و به ایرانیان اغلب معصوم غوطه ور در این مکان بپردازیم. آن شب هفت دختر ایرانی آنجا بودند ، سنشان از 21 بود تا 28. بیشترشان (به جز یکی) ازاستانهای جنوبی ایران(خوزستان ، هرمزگان و سیستان) بودند.
چهار نفرشان برای مدتی در دبی کار کرده بودند ، یکی در بلغارستان و دو خواهر پس از در به در شدن توسط قاچاقچیان مسافر(آدم پرانها) در بانکوک و از دست دادن آنچه با خود داشتند به این کار روی آورده و گذران زندگی میکردند.

آنها برای گذران زندگی و در امان ماندن از پلیس تایلند و هراس از دستگیر و برگردانده شدن به ایران تن به کار در دارو دسته اوکراینیها داده بودند. معامله با آنها از طریق رییس گروه انجام میشد و آنها هیچ گونه دخالتی در قیمت ، مدت و سایر متغیرهای معامله نداشتند. رییس گروه (که ظاهرا مسلح هم بود ) چهار چشمی همه چیز را میپایید و هیچ یک ازآنها تا ساعتی که در کلاب بودند حق انجام معامله شخصی با کسی نداشتند اما پس از ساعت کار (دو پس از نیمه شب) اجازه کار به طور شخصی داشتند. کار شخصی برایشان تقریبا $55 در آمد دارد اما تمامی خطرات و ریسکها به عهده خودشان است ، از طرف دیگر کار کردن در کلاب $15 تا $20 به دستشان میرساند اما امنیتشان گارانتی شده است. آنها اغلب در گروههای دو – سه نفری در محله های شرق "سوخومویت"* یا خیابانهای منتهی به "هتل گریس"* پرسه میزنند. اغلب مشتریانشان اعراب هستند اما تک و توکی مشتری دایم تایلندی هم دارند.
خیلی دوست داشتم که داستان زندگی تمام آنها را بشنوم ؛ اما آنچنان کار آسانی نبود چون که من مذکر،جوان و ایرانی بودم و تمامی این خصوصیات مرا خریداری فضول جلوه میداد اما با یاری دوستم و کمی پررویی توانستم جوابی برای سوالاتم پیدا کنم.
همگی آنها جامعه مرد محور ایران اسلامی وعدم درک نیازهای جوانان را بانی کشیده شدنشان به سمت این حرفه میدانستند.
هیچ کدام فکر بازگشت به ایران را نداشتند و این عمل را خودکشی محض میدانستند ، اگر چه پیغام و پسغام هایی از رابطهای سفارت شنیده بودند که حاکی از برآورده کردن امنیت آنها در ایران بود.
همگی به جز یک نفرشان حاضر به ازدواج و شروع زندگی در کنار همسرشان بودند ، اما امکان ازدواج با ایرانی را غیر ممکن میدانستند ( با توجه به پیشینه اشان) و حاضر به ازدواج با غیر ایرانی هم نبودند و توجیهشان این بود که اگر قرار باشد که تا آخر عمر با زبان نافهمان سر و کله بزنیم همان بهتر که یار ساعتیشان بمانیم و مبادله را به نرخ روز بکنیم.
کار در این کلاب را بهتر از جاهای دیگر میدانستند و اربابشان قول دیگر کشورهای آسیایی(ازجمله هنگ کنگِ چین) را به آنها داده بود.

فقط یک نفرشان پاسپورت غیر ایرانی داشت و راحت تر از دیگران قادر به سفر بود و تنها او بود که از همه به شغلشان حرفه ایی تر نگاه میکرد. بقیه کارشان را از سر درماندگی میدانستند.
ادامه دارد

Facing Down Iran

2006-04-18T19:47:00.000+12:00

Mark Steyn

Our lives depend on it.

Most Westerners read the map of the world like a Broadway marquee: north is top of the bill—America, Britain, Europe, Russia—and the rest dribbles away into a mass of supporting players punctuated by occasional Star Guests: India, China, Australia. Everyone else gets rounded up into groups: “Africa,” “Asia,” “Latin America.”

But if you’re one of the down-page crowd, the center of the world is wherever you happen to be. Take Iran: it doesn’t fit into any of the groups. Indeed, it’s a buffer zone between most of the important ones: to the west, it borders the Arab world; to the northwest, it borders NATO (and, if Turkey ever passes its endless audition, the European Union); to the north, the former Soviet Union and the Russian Federation’s turbulent Caucasus; to the northeast, the Stans—the newly independent states of central Asia; to the east, the old British India, now bifurcated into a Muslim-Hindu nuclear standoff. And its southern shore sits on the central artery that feeds the global economy.

If you divide the world into geographical regions, then, Iran’s neither here nor there. But if you divide it ideologically, the mullahs are ideally positioned at the center of the various provinces of Islam—the Arabs, the Turks, the Stans, and the south Asians. Who better to unite the Muslim world under one inspiring, courageous leadership? If there’s going to be an Islamic superpower, Tehran would seem to be the obvious candidate.

That moment of ascendancy is now upon us. Or as the Daily Telegraph in London reported: “Iran’s hardline spiritual leaders have issued an unprecedented new fatwa, or holy order, sanctioning the use of atomic weapons against its enemies.” Hmm. I’m not a professional mullah, so I can’t speak to the theological soundness of the argument, but it seems a religious school in the Holy City of Qom has ruled that “the use of nuclear weapons may not constitute a problem, according to sharia.” Well, there’s a surprise. How do you solve a problem? Like, sharia! It’s the one-stop shop for justifying all your geopolitical objectives.

The bad cop/worse cop routine the mullahs and their hothead President Ahmadinejad are playing in this period of alleged negotiation over Iran’s nuclear program is the best indication of how all negotiations with Iran will go once they’re ready to fly. This is the nuclear version of the NRA bumper sticker: “Guns Don’t Kill People. People Kill People.” Nukes don’t nuke nations. Nations nuke nations. When the Argentine junta seized British sovereign territory in the Falklands, the generals knew that the United Kingdom was a nuclear power, but they also knew that under no conceivable scenario would Her Majesty’s Government drop the big one on Buenos Aires. The Argie generals were able to assume decency on the part of the enemy, which is a useful thing to be able to do.

But in any contretemps with Iran the other party would be foolish to make a similar assumption. That will mean the contretemps will generally be resolved in Iran’s favor. In fact, if one were a Machiavellian mullah, the first thing one would do after acquiring nukes would be to hire some obvious loon like President Ahmaddamatree to front the program. He’s the equivalent of the yobbo in the English pub who says, “Oy, mate, you lookin’ at my bird?” You haven’t given her a glance, or him; you’re at the other end of the bar head down in the Daily Mirror, trying not to catch his eye. You don’t know whether he’s longing to nut you in the face or whether he just gets a kick out of terrifying you into thinking he wants to. But, either way, you just want to get out of the room in one piece. Kooks with nukes is one-way deterrence squared.

If Belgium becomes a nuclear power, the Dutch have no reason to believe it would be a factor in, say, negotiations over a joint highway project. But Iran’s nukes will be a factor in everything. If you think, for example, the European Union and others have been fairly craven over those Danish cartoons, imagine what they’d be like if a nuclear Tehran had demanded a formal apology, a suitable punishment for the newspaper, and blasphemy laws specifically outlawing representations of the Prophet. Iran with nukes will be a suicide bomber with a radioactive waist.

If we’d understood Iran back in 1979, we’d understand better the challenges we face today. Come to that, we might not even be facing them. But, with hindsight, what strikes you about the birth of the Islamic Republic is the near total lack of interest by analysts in that adjective: Islamic. Iran was only the second Islamist state, after Saudi Arabia—and, in selecting as their own qualifying adjective the family name, the House of Saud at least indicated a conventional sense of priorities, as the legions of Saudi princes whoring and gambling in the fleshpots of the West have demonstrated exhaustively. Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue—though, as the Royal Family has belatedly discovered vis-à-vis the Islamists, they’re somewhat overdrawn on that front. The difference in Iran is simple: with the mullahs, there are no London escort agencies on retainer to supply blondes only. When they say “Islamic Republic,” they mean it. And refusing to take their words at face value has bedeviled Western strategists for three decades.

Twenty-seven years ago, because Islam didn’t fit into the old cold war template, analysts mostly discounted it. We looked at the map like that Broadway marquee: West and East, the old double act. As with most of the down-page turf, Iran’s significance lay in which half of the act she’d sign on with. To the Left, the shah was a high-profile example of an unsavory U.S. client propped up on traditional he-may-be-a-sonofabitch-but-he’s-our-sonofabitch grounds: in those heady days SAVAK, his secret police, were a household name among Western progressives, and insofar as they took the stern-faced man in the turban seriously, they assured themselves he was a kind of novelty front for the urbane Paris émigré socialists who accompanied him back to Tehran. To the realpolitik Right, the issue was Soviet containment: the shah may be our sonofabitch, but he’d outlived his usefulness, and a weak Iran could prove too tempting an invitation to Moscow to fulfill the oldest of czarist dreams—a warm-water port, not to mention control of the Straits of Hormuz. Very few of us considered the strategic implications of an Islamist victory on its own terms—the notion that Iran was checking the neither-of-the-above box and that that box would prove a far greater threat to the Freeish World than Communism.

But that was always Iran’s plan. In 1989, with the Warsaw Pact disintegrating before his eyes, poor beleaguered Mikhail Gorbachev received a helpful bit of advice from the cocky young upstart on the block: “I strongly urge that in breaking down the walls of Marxist fantasies you do not fall into the prison of the West and the Great Satan,” Ayatollah Khomeini wrote to Moscow. “I openly announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran, as the greatest and most powerful base of the Islamic world, can easily help fill up the ideological vacuum of your system.”

Today many people in the West don’t take that any more seriously than Gorbachev did. But it’s pretty much come to pass. As Communism retreated, radical Islam seeped into Africa and south Asia and the Balkans. Crazy guys holed up in Philippine jungles and the tri-border region of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay who’d have been “Marxist fantasists” a generation or two back are now Islamists: it’s the ideology du jour. At the point of expiry of the Soviet Union in 1991, the peoples of the central Asian republics were for the most part unaware that Iran had even had an “Islamic revolution”; 15 years on, following the proselytizing of thousands of mullahs dispatched to the region by a specially created Iranian government agency, the Stans’ traditionally moderate and in many cases alcoholically lubricated form of Islam is yielding in all but the most remote areas to a fiercer form imported from the south. As the Pentagon has begun to notice, in Iraq Tehran has been quietly duplicating the strategy that delivered southern Lebanon into its control 20 years ago. The degeneration of Baby Assad’s supposedly “secular” Baathist tyranny into full-blown client status and the replacement of Arafat’s depraved “secular” kleptocrat terrorists by Hamas’s even more depraved Islamist terrorists can also be seen as symptoms of Iranification.

So as a geopolitical analyst the ayatollah is not to be disdained. Our failure to understand Iran in the seventies foreshadowed our failure to understand the broader struggle today. As clashes of civilizations go, this one’s between two extremes: on the one hand, a world that has everything it needs to wage decisive war—wealth, armies, industry, technology; on the other, a world that has nothing but pure ideology and plenty of believers. (Its sole resource, oil, would stay in the ground were it not for foreign technology, foreign manpower, and a Western fetishization of domestic environmental aesthetics.)

For this to be a mortal struggle, as the cold war was, the question is: Are they a credible enemy to us?

For a projection of the likely outcome, the question is: Are we a credible enemy to them?

Four years into the “war on terror,” the Bush administration has begun promoting a new formulation: “the long war.” Not a reassuring name. In a short war, put your money on tanks and bombs—our strengths. In a long war, the better bet is will and manpower—their strengths, and our great weakness. Even a loser can win when he’s up against a defeatist. A big chunk of Western civilization, consciously or otherwise, has given the impression that it’s dying to surrender to somebody, anybody. Reasonably enough, Islam figures: Hey, why not us? If you add to the advantages of will and manpower a nuclear capability, the odds shift dramatically.

What, after all, is the issue underpinning every little goofy incident in the news, from those Danish cartoons of Mohammed to recommendations for polygamy by official commissions in Canada to the banning of the English flag in English prisons because it’s an insensitive “crusader” emblem to the introduction of gender-segregated swimming sessions in municipal pools in Puget Sound? In a word, sovereignty. There is no god but Allah, and thus there is no jurisdiction but Allah’s. Ayatollah Khomeini saw himself not as the leader of a geographical polity but as a leader of a communal one: Islam. Once those urbane socialist émigrés were either dead or on the plane back to Paris, Iran’s nominally “temporal” government took the same view, too: its role is not merely to run national highway departments and education ministries but to advance the cause of Islam worldwide.

If you dust off the 1933 Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States, Article One reads: “The state as a person of international law should possess the following qualifications: (a) a permanent population; (b) a defined territory; (c) government; and (d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states.” Iran fails to meet qualification (d), and has never accepted it. The signature act of the new regime was not the usual post-coup bloodletting and summary execution of the shah’s mid-ranking officials but the seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran by “students” acting with Khomeini’s blessing. Diplomatic missions are recognized as the sovereign territory of that state, and the violation thereof is an act of war. No one in Washington has to fret that Fidel Castro will bomb the U.S. Interests Section in Havana. Even in the event of an actual war, the diplomatic staff of both countries would be allowed to depart.

Yet Iran seized protected persons on U.S. soil and held them prisoner for over a year—ostensibly because Washington was planning to restore the shah. But the shah died and the hostages remained. And, when the deal was eventually done and the hostages were released, the sovereign territory of the United States remained in the hands of the gangster regime. Granted that during the Carter administration the Soviets were gobbling up real estate from Afghanistan to Grenada, it’s significant that in this wretched era the only loss of actual U.S. territory was to the Islamists.

Yet Iran paid no price. They got away with it. For the purposes of comparison, in 1980, when the U.S. hostages in Tehran were in their sixth month of captivity, Iranians opposed to the mullahs seized the Islamic Republic’s embassy in London. After six days of negotiation, Her Majesty’s Government sent SAS commandos into the building and restored it to the control of the regime. In refusing to do the same with the “students” occupying the U.S. embassy, the Islamic Republic was explicitly declaring that it was not as other states.

We expect multilateral human-rights Democrats to be unsatisfactory on assertive nationalism, but if they won’t even stand up for international law, what’s the point? Jimmy Carter should have demanded the same service as Tehran got from the British—the swift resolution of the situation by the host government—and, if none was forthcoming, Washington should have reversed the affront to international order quickly, decisively, and in a sufficiently punitive manner. At hinge moments of history, there are never good and bad options, only bad and much much worse. Our options today are significantly worse because we didn’t take the bad one back then.

With the fatwa against Salman Rushdie, a British subject, Tehran extended its contempt for sovereignty to claiming jurisdiction over the nationals of foreign states, passing sentence on them, and conscripting citizens of other countries to carry it out. Iran’s supreme leader instructed Muslims around the world to serve as executioners of the Islamic Republic—and they did, killing not Rushdie himself but his Japanese translator, and stabbing the Italian translator, and shooting the Italian publisher, and killing three dozen persons with no connection to the book when a mob burned down a hotel because of the presence of the novelist’s Turkish translator.

Iran’s de facto head of state offered a multimillion-dollar bounty for a whack job on an obscure English novelist. And, as with the embassy siege, he got away with it.

In the latest variation on Marx’s dictum, history repeats itself: first, the unreadable London literary novel; then, the Danish funny pages. But in the 17 years between the Rushdie fatwa and the cartoon jihad, what was supposedly a freakish one-off collision between Islam and the modern world has become routine. We now think it perfectly normal for Muslims to demand the tenets of their religion be applied to society at large: the government of Sweden, for example, has been zealously closing down websites that republish those Danish cartoons. As Khomeini’s successor, Ayatollah Khamenei, has said, “It is in our revolution’s interest, and an essential principle, that when we speak of Islamic objectives, we address all the Muslims of the world.” Or as a female Muslim demonstrator in Toronto put it: “We won’t stop the protests until the world obeys Islamic law.”

If that’s a little too ferocious, Kofi Annan framed it rather more soothingly: “The offensive caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad were first published in a European country which has recently acquired a significant Muslim population, and is not yet sure how to adjust to it.”

If you’ve also “recently acquired” a significant Muslim population and you’re not sure how to “adjust” to it, well, here’s the difference: back when my Belgian grandparents emigrated to Canada, the idea was that the immigrants assimilated to the host country. As Kofi and Co. see it, today the host country has to assimilate to the immigrants: if Islamic law forbids representations of the Prophet, then so must Danish law, and French law, and American law. Iran was the progenitor of this rapacious extraterritoriality, and, if we had understood it more clearly a generation ago, we might be in less danger of seeing large tracts of the developed world being subsumed by it today.

Yet instead the West somehow came to believe that, in a region of authoritarian monarchs and kleptocrat dictators, Iran was a comparative beacon of liberty. The British foreign secretary goes to Tehran and hangs with the mullahs and, even though he’s not a practicing Muslim (yet), ostentatiously does that “peace be upon him” thing whenever he mentions the Prophet Mohammed. And where does the kissy-face with the A-list imams get him? Ayatollah Khamenei renewed the fatwa on Rushdie only last year. True, President Bush identified Iran as a member of the axis of evil, but a year later the country was being hailed as a “democracy” by then-deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage and a nation that has seen a “democratic flowering,” as State Department spokesman Richard Boucher put it.

And let’s not forget Bill Clinton’s extraordinary remarks at Davos last year: “Iran today is, in a sense, the only country where progressive ideas enjoy a vast constituency. It is there that the ideas that I subscribe to are defended by a majority.” That’s true in the very narrow sense that there’s a certain similarity between his legal strategy and sharia when it comes to adultery and setting up the gals as the fall guys. But it seems Clinton apparently had a more general commonality in mind: “In every single election, the guys I identify with got two-thirds to 70 percent of the vote. There is no other country in the world I can say that about, certainly not my own.” America’s first black President is beginning to sound like America’s first Islamist ex-president.

Those remarks are as nutty as Gerald Ford’s denial of Soviet influence in Eastern Europe. Iran has an impressive three-decade record of talking the talk and walking the walk—either directly or through client groups like Hezbollah. In 1994, the Argentine Israel Mutual Association was bombed in Buenos Aires. Nearly 100 people died and 250 were injured—the worst massacre of Jewish civilians since the Holocaust. An Argentine court eventually issued warrants for two Iranian diplomats plus Ali Fallahian, former intelligence minister, and Ali Akbar Parvaresh, former education minister and deputy speaker of the Majlis.

Why blow up a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires? Because it’s there. Unlike the Iranian infiltration into Bosnia and Croatia, which helped radicalize not just the local populations but Muslim supporters from Britain and Western Europe, the random slaughter in the Argentine has no strategic value except as a demonstration of muscle and reach.

Anyone who spends half an hour looking at Iranian foreign policy over the last 27 years sees five things:

contempt for the most basic international conventions;
long-reach extraterritoriality;
effective promotion of radical Pan-Islamism;
a willingness to go the extra mile for Jew-killing (unlike, say, Osama);
an all-but-total synchronization between rhetoric and action.
Yet the Europeans remain in denial. Iran was supposedly the Middle Eastern state they could work with. And the chancellors and foreign ministers jetted in to court the mullahs so assiduously that they’re reluctant to give up on the strategy just because a relatively peripheral figure like the, er, head of state is sounding off about Armageddon.

Instead, Western analysts tend to go all Kremlinological. There are, after all, many factions within Iran’s ruling class. What the country’s quick-on-the-nuke president says may not be the final word on the regime’s position. Likewise, what the school of nuclear theologians in Qom says. Likewise, what former president Khatami says. Likewise, what Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, says.

But, given that they’re all in favor of the country having nukes, the point seems somewhat moot. The question then arises, what do they want them for?

By way of illustration, consider the country’s last presidential election. The final round offered a choice between Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, an alumnus of the U.S. Embassy siege a quarter-century ago, and Hashemi Rafsanjani, head of the Expediency Council, which sounds like an EU foreign policy agency but is, in fact, the body that arbitrates between Iran’s political and religious leaderships. Ahmadinejad is a notorious shoot-from-the-lip apocalyptic hothead who believes in the return of the Twelfth (hidden) Imam and quite possibly that he personally is his designated deputy, and he’s also claimed that when he addressed the United Nations General Assembly last year a mystical halo appeared and bathed him in its aura. Ayatollah Rafsanjani, on the other hand, is one of those famous “moderates.”

What’s the difference between a hothead and a moderate? Well, the extremist Ahmadinejad has called for Israel to be “wiped off the map,” while the moderate Rafsanjani has declared that Israel is “the most hideous occurrence in history,” which the Muslim world “will vomit out from its midst” in one blast, because “a single atomic bomb has the power to completely destroy Israel, while an Israeli counter-strike can only cause partial damage to the Islamic world.” Evidently wiping Israel off the map seems to be one of those rare points of bipartisan consensus in Tehran, the Iranian equivalent of a prescription drug plan for seniors: we’re just arguing over the details.

So the question is: Will they do it?

And the minute you have to ask, you know the answer. If, say, Norway or Ireland acquired nuclear weapons, we might regret the “proliferation,” but we wouldn’t have to contemplate mushroom clouds over neighboring states. In that sense, the civilized world has already lost: to enter into negotiations with a jurisdiction headed by a Holocaust-denying millenarian nut job is, in itself, an act of profound weakness—the first concession, regardless of what weaselly settlement might eventually emerge.

Conversely, a key reason to stop Iran is to demonstrate that we can still muster the will to do so. Instead, the striking characteristic of the long diplomatic dance that brought us to this moment is how September 10th it’s all been. The free world’s delegated negotiators (the European Union) and transnational institutions (the IAEA) have continually given the impression that they’d be content just to boot it down the road to next year or the year after or find some arrangement—this decade’s Oil-for-Food or North Korean deal—that would get them off the hook. If you talk to EU foreign ministers, they’ve already psychologically accepted a nuclear Iran. Indeed, the chief characteristic of the West’s reaction to Iran’s nuclearization has been an enervated fatalism.

Back when nuclear weapons were an elite club of five relatively sane world powers, your average Western progressive was convinced the planet was about to go ka-boom any minute. The mushroom cloud was one of the most familiar images in the culture, a recurring feature of novels and album covers and movie posters. There were bestselling dystopian picture books for children, in which the handful of survivors spent their last days walking in a nuclear winter wonderland. Now a state openly committed to the annihilation of a neighboring nation has nukes, and we shrug: Can’t be helped. Just the way things are. One hears sophisticated arguments that perhaps the best thing is to let everyone get ’em, and then no one will use them. And if Iran’s head of state happens to threaten to wipe Israel off the map, we should understand that this is a rhetorical stylistic device that’s part of the Persian oral narrative tradition, and it would be a grossly Eurocentric misinterpretation to take it literally.

The fatalists have a point. We may well be headed for a world in which anybody with a few thousand bucks and the right unlisted Asian phone numbers in his Rolodex can get a nuke. But, even so, there are compelling reasons for preventing Iran in particular from going nuclear. Back in his student days at the U.S. embassy, young Mr. Ahmadinejad seized American sovereign territory, and the Americans did nothing. And I would wager that’s still how he looks at the world. And, like Rafsanjani, he would regard, say, Muslim deaths in an obliterated Jerusalem as worthy collateral damage in promoting the greater good of a Jew-free Middle East. The Palestinians and their “right of return” have never been more than a weapon of convenience with which to chastise the West. To assume Tehran would never nuke Israel because a shift in wind direction would contaminate Ramallah is to be as ignorant of history as most Palestinians are: from Yasser Arafat’s uncle, the pro-Nazi Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during the British Mandate, to the insurgents in Iraq today, Islamists have never been shy about slaughtering Muslims in pursuit of their strategic goals.

But it doesn’t have to come to that. Go back to that Argentine bombing. It was, in fact, the second major Iranian-sponsored attack in Buenos Aires. The year before, 1993, a Hezbollah suicide bomber killed 29 people and injured hundreds more in an attack on the Israeli Embassy. In the case of the community center bombing, the killer had flown from Lebanon a few days earlier and entered Latin America through the porous tri-border region of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. Suppose Iran had had a “dirty nuke” shipped to Hezbollah, or even the full-blown thing: Would it have been any less easy to get it into the country? And, if a significant chunk of downtown Buenos Aires were rendered uninhabitable, what would the Argentine government do? Iran can project itself to South America effortlessly, but Argentina can’t project itself to the Middle East at all. It can’t nuke Tehran, and it can’t attack Iran in conventional ways.

So any retaliation would be down to others. Would Washington act? It depends how clear the fingerprints were. If the links back to the mullahs were just a teensy-weensy bit tenuous and murky, how eager would the U.S. be to reciprocate? Bush and Rumsfeld might—but an administration of a more Clinto-Powellite bent? How much pressure would there be for investigations under UN auspices? Perhaps Hans Blix could come out of retirement, and we could have a six-month dance through Security-Council coalition-building, with the secretary of state making a last-minute flight to Khartoum to try to persuade Sudan to switch its vote.

Perhaps it’s unduly pessimistic to write the civilized world automatically into what Osama bin Laden called the “weak horse” role (Islam being the “strong horse”). But, if you were an Iranian “moderate” and you’d watched the West’s reaction to the embassy seizure and the Rushdie murders and Hezbollah terrorism, wouldn’t you be thinking along those lines? I don’t suppose Buenos Aires Jews expect to have their institutions nuked any more than 12 years ago they expected to be blown up in their own city by Iranian-backed suicide bombers. Nukes have gone freelance, and there’s nothing much we can do about that, and sooner or later we’ll see the consequences—in Vancouver or Rotterdam, Glasgow or Atlanta. But, that being so, we owe it to ourselves to take the minimal precautionary step of ending the one regime whose political establishment is explicitly pledged to the nuclear annihilation of neighboring states.

Once again, we face a choice between bad and worse options. There can be no “surgical” strike in any meaningful sense: Iran’s clients on the ground will retaliate in Iraq, Lebanon, Israel, and Europe. Nor should we put much stock in the country’s allegedly “pro-American” youth. This shouldn’t be a touchy-feely nation-building exercise: rehabilitation may be a bonus, but the primary objective should be punishment—and incarceration. It’s up to the Iranian people how nutty a government they want to live with, but extraterritorial nuttiness has to be shown not to pay. That means swift, massive, devastating force that decapitates the regime—but no occupation.

The cost of de-nuking Iran will be high now but significantly higher with every year it’s postponed. The lesson of the Danish cartoons is the clearest reminder that what is at stake here is the credibility of our civilization. Whether or not we end the nuclearization of the Islamic Republic will be an act that defines our time.

A quarter-century ago, there was a minor British pop hit called “Ayatollah, Don’t Khomeini Closer.” If you’re a U.S. diplomat or a British novelist, a Croat Christian or an Argentine Jew, he’s already come way too close. How much closer do you want him to get?

ياد آن زمان كه چندي از شور انقلابي

تا مرگ شاه خائن، نهضت ادامه دارد

گفتيم و از مسلسل، آمد جواب مارا

برديم ماديان را، از بهر فحل دادن

بر عكس آرزو ها شد مستجاب مارا

كوني و كله قندي داديم و باز گشتيم

ديگر نماند وامي ازهيچ باب مارا

یک نماینده مجلس:رفتاردختران ایران زشت ترازفاشیست های نژادپرست است

2006-04-16T12:36:00.000+12:00

عنوان خبر یک نماینده مجلس:رفتاردختران ایران زشت ترازفاشیست های نژادپرست است :
»محمد عباسپور" که در مورد طرح های مجلس در برخورد با بدحجابی دختران در فصل تابستان اعلام رسمی نیروی انتظامی مبنی بر برخوردهای جدی با بدحجاب ها در فصل تابستان را غیر اجرایی دانست. او با طرح انتقادی از نیروهای انتظامی و نمایندگان مجلس می گوید: «در حال حاضر مجلس هیچ برنامه خاصی در دستور کار خود برای برخورد با بدحجابان ندارد. نیروی انتظامی هم اگر نگوییم تا کنون ناکارآمد بوده لااقل باید بگوییم که با مسامحه از کنار موضوع بدحجابی رد شده است.

حالا باید ببینیم آیا بعد از گذشت 27 سال از انقلاب چه کرده ایم که حتی تعریف مشخصی از بی حجابی هم نداریم. نماینده ارومیه به آسیب شناسی مقوله بدحجابی می پردازد .از نظر او وضعیت پوشش امروز دختران ایرانی باید در یک «جریان سوم» بررسی شود. او می گوید: این حجاب و پوشش نه حجاب کامل است و نه بی حجابی کامل. این یک جریان سوم است که اصلا در ش‍أن ما نیست.عباسپور مصادیق این خط سوم را «شال از وسط سر پوشیده، شلوارک های بالا کشیده و پاشنه های خوابیده کفش ها. می داند و در مقابل آن مصداق پوشش مناسب را بنا به تجربه خود در سفرهای خارجی به پاکستان، کشورهای عربی، تایلند، اندونزی و حتی چین عنوان می کند. او می گوید:‌ باور نمی کنید که 600 میلیون زن چینی از حجاب بهتری برخوردار هستند که بر مبنای سنت های ملی خودشان است و نه مثل ما که به مسخره گرفتن و دهن کجی سنت ها نشانه تمدن و فرهنگ شده است. انتقادات این نماینده مجلس البته تنها شامل پوشش و حجاب نمی شود. او تبعات بدحجابی را در مکانهای عمومی نیز مورد نظر قرار می دهد. «سگ های خانگی» محور اصلی انتقادات اوست که مرزها را می شکافد و تا کشور آلمان می رسد. عباسپور با گلایه می گوید: «امروز این سگ های خانگی متداول شده. در پارک و فروشگاه در رستوران هااشخاصی را می بینید که سگ ها را بغل می کنند و مقابل چشم دیگران آنها را می بوسند. این آزادی است؟ خب اگر سگ دوست دارند، ببرند در خانه خود، در رختخواب خود و نه در معابر عمومی» او اضافه می کند: "من این رفتارها را که برخی از دختران ایرانی انجام می دهند در هیچ کجا ندیده ام. حتی در آلمان. حتی گروه های فاشیست که نژاد پرستند و خود را نژاد برتر می دانند، لائیک هم هستند و با هزار جور کثافت کاری تابع هیچ قید و بند اجتماعی هم نیستند، چنین رفتارهایی را از آنها ندیده ام. این رفتارها بی آبرویی است." عباسپور رفتارهای اجتماعی امروز را تا حدودی «پیامد استفاده از ماهواره» می داند. به نظر او «خانواده های ایرانی نیز بی مبالات شده اند.» و رفتار بعضی از جوانان نیز «ایجاد چندش» می کند. او این رفتارها را «شفافیت بی مایه» می داند و قتل و جنایت را بدترین رهاورد استفاده از ماهواره عنوان می کند. او معتقد است که باید غرب را در مقابل فرهنگ ملی خود از پای در آوریم نه اینکه ما در مقابل فرهنگ آنان از پا بنشینمیم و به عنوان نمونه می گوید: «همین انرژی هسته ای که امروز داریم. مال کشور خودمان است اگر این 10 تا نیروگاه را هم بزنند، باز ما دانش و علم آن را داریم. مال خودمان است و با زور و اسلحه هم نمی توان آن را گرفت".عباسپور امیدوار است که همچنان بتوان با برخوردهای فرهنگی راه را برای اصلاح و تربیت باز کرد. او «برخورد با بدحجابان» را وظیفه نیروی انتظامی و مشروط به «عبور از خط قرمزها» می داند. به هرحال، با آغاز فصل گرما بحث حجاب نیز داغ تر می شود. چندی پیش نیروی انتظامی اعلام کرد که از اول اردیبهشت ماه با زنان بدحجاب در تهران برخورد جدی صورت می گیرد. مجلس نیز حدود یکسال است درگیر طرح ملی مد و پوشش است و هنوز با تمام جنجال ها این طرح نیز به جایی نرسیده است. آیا بدحجابی، بحران اجتماعی بی پایانی است که کسی قادر به گذاشتن نقطه پایان بر این موضوع همیشه داغ نیست؟

Pre-emptive genocide? Nuking Iran will morally bankrupt humanity

2006-04-10T21:03:00.000+12:00

ثریا سپاهپور

The foxy neo-cons, with fangs out for a kill, have outwitted the world. After 27 years of violating the bi-lateral Algiers Agreement, finding itself in a quagmire in Iraq, the United States decided to bring on board other countries to attack Iran, or at the very least, have their blessings. Falsely accusing Iran of pursuing a nuclear weapons program and using the NPT, it succeeded.

Clearly, the aim of this administration is regime change. However, its propaganda, the continuous revelations about the audacious lies that led it to illegally invade Iraq and cause the death of over 100,000 human beings, including thousands of Americans, has left us inert and emotionally inept to extract the neo-cons’ fangs and put a stop to their incessant demise of nations. This is exactly what they count on – this allows them to persist.

Their next heinous plan – nuking Iran, will morally bankrupt humanity and be the next chapter of genocide in our history books. But in their shrewdness, they have even planned the murder of an entire civilization based on a preemptive genocide!

A senior intelligence officer interviewed by the renowned journalist, Seymour Hirsch, (See his article in The New Yorker), spoke of resultant mushroom clouds above Iran – radiation, mass casualties, and contamination for years that are being planned by this Administration. The nuclear confrontation with Iran is a fight for a regime change. “Iran’s President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has challenged the reality of the Holocaust and said that Israel must be “wiped off the map.” Bush and others in the White House view him as a potential Adolf Hitler, a former senior intelligence official said. “That’s the name they’re using. They say, ‘Will Iran get a strategic weapon and threaten another world war?’ ”

There is no excuse for what Ahmadinejad said , however, several things are worth mentioning and pondering. Iran does not have an atomic bomb. Even according to Israel’s intelligence, it will not have the ability to manufacture it for several years. At best, even if it does acquire nuclear weapons in 5-10 years, it will be no match for Israel’s nuclear arsenal – nor indeed its nuclear-armed submarines. Attacking Israel at that point, would be illogical. Especially given that Israel has the backing of the US!

Further, both Ahmadinejad and Khamenei have reiterated Iran's longstanding demand for a referendum on the status of Israel that would involve all Palestinian refugees. This official position of theirs is not consistent with Ahmadinejad's rhetoric, least of all by using nuclear arms which would endanger the very Palestinians whom they want to protect.

Finally, is it not the Bush Administration that bears resemblance to Adolf Hitler by planning a nuclear attack on Iran? The radiation, mass casualties, and contamination not only of the Persians, but the 2% minority (1,300,000) groups living in Iran, a large number of whom (30000 ews) live in Isfahan near the Bushehr power plant is. Or perhaps by some miracle they will be told to leave before the bombing campaign, or maybe the nukes will avoid hitting them!

It may be that the West holds no value for Moslems. Somehow, the anger of the Moslems was deliberately incited with the hideous cartoons that affronted them. This anger, which combined religious zeal with decades of economic frustration, oppression, inequality, and Western domination, found a release valve to express itself having been slighted by the Western societies. This of course, played well into the hands of the sly neo-cons who now wish to nuke the Islamic Republic of Iran – though God knows we are hardly theocratic! After all, the whole world (mis)judged the Moslem world as uncontrollable, dangerous mobs. It is said ‘The devil is in the detail’ – indeed, in this instance, the devil was in the timing.

It is important for us all to recall that when the Holocaust was taking place, no one stood up to defend the Jews, including America who turned back ship after ship from their shores. Today, Iranians have become the ‘jews’ of the past – the atomic bomb is the gas chamber that they are condemned to. Their crime is their struggle for sovereignty. The attitude that prevailed at that time, reflected for eternity on a monolith at Boston’s Faneuil Hall, should remind us that we are all part of humanity and that the Bush Administration is taking us on a path of no return:

They came first for the Communists,and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.Then they came for the Jews,and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.Then they came for the trade unionists,and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.Then they came for the Catholics,and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.Then they came for me,and by that time no one was left to speak up.
---Martin Niemoeller ---

Today, the world has the chance to avoid the crimes of the past. We need not allow the bloody fangs of neo-cons rob us of our morality and forever throw us in purgatory. There is time for choice. Every voice can tap into another conscious and sound the sirens of danger that is surrounding the Iranian people as well as the future of the American civilization. Our march of sanity can, will, and must overcome the will of the immoral Administration planning on the destruction of our future.

(1) Algiers Accords signed between the governments of the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran on January 19, 1981, as part of the hostage crisis resolution. Point I.1 of this Accord is non-intervention in Iranian affairs: “The United States pledge that it is and from now will be the policy of the United States not to intervene, directly or indirectly, politically or militarily, in Iran’s internal affairs.” Per Article VI of the Algiers Accords, the violated party, Iran, has the right to refer the matter to the Tribunal at Hague, the Netherlands, where the International Court of Justice will have jurisdiction.

اما متاسفانه تمام آنها مختص میشوند به بانکوک و صنعت سکس اون و اینکه آقا زودی برید برسید تا خانوماشون تموم نشدند. هیچکس ظاهرا علاقه به معرفی این شهر که به نظر من یکی از زنده ترین و بهترین شهرهای دنیا هست نداره.(البته توی اون شهرهایی که من دیدم).
به هر حال تصمیم دارم که به زودی در مورد تایلند و پایتختش, مردم و جاهای دیدنیش بنویسم. به امید اینکه به کار کسی بیاد. (البته در مورد سکس شو و اینها هم مینویسم اگر کسی بخاد , شکر خدا تجربه در همه ضمینه ها بسیار)…

Saddams only crime

2006-03-03T08:51:00.000+13:00

Read this
The title is "Saddam admission delights, surprises Iraqis",
Aren't you just thankful of Saddam that he came out and admitted to his crime?
I can tell you who is more delightful though, American administration and their European allies.. Why???

Ok let’s have a look at why out of all atrocities that Hussein committed, the main focus of his trial was execution of 148 shie’ts years ago?? The simple answer is because there is no way he can include/mention Yanks and French in it. He can not admit that they have supplied him with bullets to kill and bulldozers to dig the mass graves and so on, which reveals more of their involvement and support for Saddam.

Why didn’t they start his trial with massacre of Halabcheh were he gassed his own people thank to Mr. Chirac generous dose of under priced chemical weaponry, why the focus of the trial isn’t the invasion of Iran? Why isn’t it crime against humanity and what he committed against Kurds and Assyrians and so on??? The reason is if any of the above mention topics come up, Saddam will reveal the involvement of his ex-allies and stir the shit even more, it’s kind of like opening a can of worms.

The so called justice system of Iraq which is surpassingly being run by Iraqi administration of the republic of Iraq (thanks to the liberators) is addressed on what topics to set as the aim of the investigations resulting in trials.

Wait and see, it is known to everyone that Saddam is not going to get a death sentence (as much as everyone would absolutely love it), but he is going to get a long sentence to serve and will disappear from the surface of the earth, (may be sharing residence with President Bush? or become next door neighbor of Osama in heavily guarded facilities in Jordan??). No one knows yet, even those who appear to run the show.

That’s what I absolutely love about this country.
The understanding among a large portion of the population is higher than ever.
In a world that everyone is being judge by their colour of skin, religion and …, Kiwi academics proved to posses more understanding and not let minor differences overrule the real values.
No wonder NZ is moving forward fast despite being such a small country at the end of the world. Actions like this confirms that moral haven't lost its place in NZ yet.

It is good to see that it is not all about hatred!!

2006-02-15T11:18:00.000+13:00

It is amazing that a very high number of broadcasting (Foreign based broadcasting) agencies covered the chaotic scene of radicals demonstrations in front of Danish embassy in Tehran (Iran) in order to amplify the wild nature of warmonger Iranians, but non of them bothered reporting something different that is happening for change.

The biased reporting has always been biting Iran in the ass and once again we see it happening. I was reading news from inside Iran where I bumped into this.

It is about an artist who is an Iraq-Iran war veteran with severe disabilities (acquired during the war), campaigning in front of Danish embassy in Tehran (in freezing cold weather) working on his painting which appears to be of Virgin Marry. The message behind all this is “inter-religions mutual respect” and a display of respect for people of other religions by ordinary Iranians.

There is no doubt about the mistreatment of religion minorities in Iran in the past and even present, but it shows how ordinary citizens with no political implication in mind feel toward other nations and religions.

I personally have spent a fair amount of my early schooling in Iran and throughout years, we never studied anything, but respect for Christianity and Judaism and their messengers and followers.

It doesn’t take anyone with more than a two-digit I.Q to understand that even though some countries are classified under a “republic” or “democratic” titles, the government actions does not necessary represent its of its people.

Any thought on that???

Investment opportunities ……. Dollar making anyone??

2006-02-14T09:59:00.000+13:00

The world have got to a point that basically humanity is meaningless, and the dollar is doing the talking everywhere. Many may agree that the word war in our dictionary has a synonym in others (George W Bush, Tony Blair, Iranian and Israeli leaders..) dictionary, and that is “Long term investment”.

I mean come on in a country where thousands of people are getting laid off or made redundant monthly, who with the minimal common sense would spend billions of dollars in “liberating” other “unfortunate” countries that are threatening the world peace? Isn’t it just like investing money on a guaranteed value added revenue generating business?

Apparently Bush have said that, in order to keep the price of petrol under control in US during the time of crisis, US will access some of it’s own reserve toward preventing the oil price hike .I saw a funny drawing on the Auckland newspaper a couple of days ago reciting Bush:” In order to keep the price of oil down within US, our government will access some of it’s own reserve in Iran”.
I'll write more on the subject Oil and how a maniac called Ahmadinejad is going to give a lump away shortly.

Oh well, to hell with them all. Enough of nagging I guess.

Shame on you prime minister Blair... shame on you...

2006-02-13T18:48:00.000+13:00

How would you like your country to get "liberated" (Read it invaded) by foreign troops in search of nothing but financial gains and you watch your fellow countrymen (deffenceless teenages) getting kicks in the nut on camera??

As much as I hate the current regime in my home (Iran) and I can not wait for their time to come to get their ass kicked, I don't know how I'll be reacting toward such images showing kids getting beaten up or humiliated for the joy of some ruthless lunitecs?

The dark shadow of mullahs have been affecting everyones life in Iran for the past twenty seven years andpeople are looking for some kind of liberation. Some hope US will fix it, some other hope UN will take action, but you and I know that non of the above mentioned would do anything unless there is a lump benefit in it (you can not really blamethem can you)??

Cartoons, cartoons and cartoons

2006-02-10T10:00:00.000+13:00

Cartoons have been the hot topic at work these days and since Wellington based newspaper "Dominion post" had actually published them all, nowadays Wellingtonians feel even more globalise and they perceive themselves as people whom actually have a role to play in this messed out world. It is funny how people become master debaters over night.

Anyway, discussion was hot and I was not interrupting at all, not even a word. I rather listen and enjoy, 'Coz regardless of what I say my thoughts will be viewed biased due were I hailed from (Iran). Surprisingly some had valid points and it was great to see that in this society the attitude is changing and people are brightening up (Is it because of the labour lead government?? Because I'm sure NZ wouldn't be anything but a Yanks puppet if "National" won the election last year).

Anyway the conversation progressed and people were yapping pro and anti so called "freedom of speech" and that is when I felt like I should say a word or two and contribute. I just said three words and that was "F#@k You All". Surprisingly all burst out laughing thinking it is one of those moments when I am busy with something and the background noise is bugging me and disrupting my concentration. Then I repeated myself saying "No, honestly, F#@k You All, this is freedom of speech isn't it?" And that's when some got the point and some other gave me the look .I actually managed to get a couple of middle fingers rose in my face.

I explained myself further that I absolutely don't give a damn and frankly wasn't much offended by the cartoons and all the crap, I mean at the end of the day I have no religion which means I have minimised the chance of being offended.
But I yapped on further about how I see the difference between "Freedom of Speech" and "Defamation" . And no responsible citizen has the right to defame others and the defamed one shouldn't go out in the street barking and setting things on fire and capturing embassies and all the rest of it. I mean after all we all have to live side by side and respect our individuality.

I better stop now.

G W Bush’s speechwriters and his ability to read has been a hot topic ever since he set foot into the house in Washington. But this time it is amusingly funny.
During his speech he was “revealing” how Al Qaida maniacs were plotting a suicide attack (Read it virgin acquiring mission) on western America, mainly on LA. Mr president got his tong tangled and he read library tower, liberty tower, and he kept straight face until one of his aids helped him out to correct himself.. anyway, read the full story here…

Visiting Israel, breaking a major taboo (From Hoder)

2006-01-31T08:42:00.000+13:00

The following is a summary of what hoder noted down from his latest Israel trip.

Visiting Israel, breaking a major taboo

"If things work smoothly at the Berlin's Schoenefeld Airport, I'll be in Tel Aviv tomorrow morning. This is huge for me.
This might mean that I won’t be able to go back to Iran for a long time, since Iran doesn't recognize Israel, has no diplomatic relations with it, and apparently considers traveling there illegal. Too bad, but I don't care.
Fortunately, I'm a citizen of Canada and I have the right to visit any country I want.I'm going to Israel as a citizen journalist and a peace activist.As a citizen journalist, I'm going to show my 20,000 daily Iranian readers what Israel really looks like and how people live there.

The Islamic Republic has long portrayed Israel as an evil state, with a consensual political agenda of killing every single man and woman who prays to Allah, including Iranians.I'm going to challenge that image.There are many Iranian Jews residing in Israel now –including the president and the minister of defense. Many still speak Persian and love where they were born and raised. I'm going to talk to them and show Israel and Iran from their point of view.

Historically, Persians and Jews have mostly lived in peace and have helped one another a great deal. But now, for whatever reason, they are perceived as enemies - even though they’ve never actually harmed one other, despite the existence of hard line leaders on both sides.But now, given Iran's persistence on its nuclear program (which obviously is a cover for a nuclear weapons program) and the new wave of threats Ahmadinejad is posing to Israel's existence, the possibility of a harsh response by Israel is higher than ever.

As a peace activist, I'm going to show the Israelis that the vast majority of Iranians do not identify with Ahmadinejad’s rhetoric, despite what it looks like from the outside.I'm going to tell them how any kind of violent action against Iran would only harm the young people who are gradually reforming the system and how the radicals would benefit from such situation.During my visit, I'm going to blog in both English and Persian, take a lot of pictures and record numerous video and audio reports and make a few podcasts.But like a real ciziten journalist, I’ll have to depend on my readers' support, especially financially. The more support you give, the more effective I can be as a citizen journalist and a peace activist."

Focusing only on Iranian-Israeli realations

"One thing I have to clarify here is that my focus in this trip is only on Iran and Israel relationship and when I talk about peace, I mean between these two states.

As a non-religious Iranian (which means I'm a non-Arab, just in case some people don't know that), my interest, at least in this trip, is not in issues between Arab world and Israel.

What I'm trying to primarily do here is to try to help Israelis and Iranians have a better understanding about one another and contribute to stop the dangerous process of de-humanization that both side are doing.
That's why I'm trying to talk to as many Iranians here to remind my audience inside Iran about the great ties between the two nations.
Also to show Israelis what an Iranian who was born and raised in Tehran, under the Islamic Republic of Iran's watch, looks like and how millions of Iranian young men and women are different with what the media and the government portrays."

همین الان دارم از اورشلیم می‌آیم. قبل از اینکه به میهمانی امشب بروم که با ثبت نام ۶۰ نفر آدم دارد برای خودش ماجرایی می‌شود، دلم می‌خواهد حسم را از این چند ساعتی که در این شهر سر کردم بنویسم. راستش را بخواهید، فرق تل‌آویو با اورشلیم مثل فرق تهران است با قم. خلاصه هیچ خوشم نیامد. یک تجربه‌ی خیلی خیلی بد هم با ایرانی‌های مغازه‌دار آنجا پیدا کردم که بعدتر می‌‌نویسم.
راستی بلیطم را تمدید کردم و بیشتر می‌مانم. چون واقعا هنوز هیچ جایی را ندیده‌ام و کلی کار مانده که بکنم.
فقط خواهشی که دارم از شما این است که اگر می‌ةوانید مطالبم را درباره‌ي این سفر برای هر کس که می‌توانید بفرستید. حالا با ایمیل یا هر راه دیگر. اگر هم وبلاگ دارید و جرات، عین مطالب را می‌توانید کپی کنید. اشکالی از نظر من ندارد. وبلاگ من فیلتر شده است و مهم‌ترین مساله این است که تعداد هر چه بیشتری بتوانند این نوشته‌ها را بخوانند. ایمیل امن‌ترین و بهترین راه است در هر صورت

اورکات اسراییلی ها

پریشب بالاخره موفق شدم برای اولین ایرانی ساکن اسراییل، وبلاگ فارسی درست کنم. این یکی از بزرگترین برنامه‌هایم برای این سفر بود که خوشبخانه عملی شد. البته فعلا چون که فقط یک نوشته در آن هست، به آن لینک نمی‌دهم. باید با نویسنده‌اش امروز صحبت کنم و ببینم مشکلی برای ادامه‌ی کار دارد یا نه.
دیگر اینکه لامصب دوربینم خراب شده. هنوز عکس و فیلم می‌گیرد، ولی صفحه‌ی نمایشگرش فکر کنم توی جیب کتم که بود، وقتی روی صندلی نشسته بودم خروده زمین و شکسته. برای همین من مثل کورها شده‌ام. مجبورم بدون اینکه درست چیزی ببینم عکس بگیرم. از همه بدتر آن است که بدون این ثفحه نمی‌توانم تنظیمات دوربین را عوض کنم.
امروز صبح دارم می‌روم ببینم می‌توانم بلیطم را تمدید کنم یا نه. چون که کلی کار هست که هنوز وقت نشده بکنم. کلی آدم هست که قرار است ببینم و کلی عکس و ویدیو و هست که باید بگیرم. بخصوص که فردا تازه مصاحبه‌ای که با هاآرتز کردم قرار است منتشر شود و تازه بعد از آن است که توجه ملت جلب می‌شود و من می‌توانم حرف‌هایم را بزنم.
دیروز به لطف آقای منشری توانستم با یکی از ایرانیان پرنفوذ اینجا دیدار کنم به‌نام آقای امیر عبیر که از یهودیان مشهور ایران است که مهندس قدیمی ساختمان است و قبل از انقلاب هم کلی ساختمان ساخته. یک مصاحبه‌ی مفصل با او کردم که به زودی همین‌جا می‌گذارمش.
امشب قرار است با یک سری از جوان‌های اسراییلی عضو یک سایت مشابه اورکات، به نام ILCU، در یک بار در تل آویو جمع شویم و گپ بزنیم. فعلا ۴۲ نفر گفته‌اند که می‌آیند. آنها خودشان اسم این جمع‌شدن را گذاشته‌اند پیام اسراییل به ایران و می‌خواهند بطور نمادین یک پیام صلح به جوان‌ها و بلاگرهای ایرانی بفرستند. اگر پیشنهادی برای این جور کارهای نمادین دارید بنویسید. اگر ما هم بتوانیم از این طرف یک پیام صلح‌آمیز برای آنها بفرستیم خیلی جالب می‌شود. بخصوص اگر این رابطه را ادامه دهیم.
دیگر اینکه... آهان. بعضی‌ها تعجب کرده‌اند که من چرا گفته‌ام روزی بیست‌هزار خواننده دارم. واقعیت این است که من حدود ده هزار خواننده روی خود وبلاگ دارم که همه می‌دانید. ولی بیش از یازده هزار مشترک ایمیلی هم دارم که هر روز مطالبم را با ایمیل می‌گیرند. این دو روی هم بیش‌تر از بیست هزارتا می‌شود.

Hello, Sorry I'v been tied up with several things at the moment and will write about them soon after I get a chance. In the mean time I want to start re-publishing hoder's content of the website since his is filtered.

سفر به اسراییل: گفتگوی تمدن‌ها در عمل، شکستن یک تابوی احمقانه

خلاصه برای آدم‌های بی‌حوصله: هدفم از سفر به اسراییل آن است که به آنها ایرانی را که می‌شناسم نشان دهم و برای شما هم برداشتم را از اسراییل و مردمانش بیاورم. سعی می‌کنم هر روز مطلب بنویسم. دوربینم را همه‌جا با خودم می‌برم و عکس‌ها و ویدیوهایی را که می‌گیرم از همان‌جا روی اینترنت می‌گذارم. این تابو را باید شکست و الان وقت آن است. (مطلبم به انگلیسی درهمین باره)
اگر همه چیز خوب پیش رفته باشد، باید تا چند ساعت دیگر در تل‌آویو باشم. درست خواندید. تصمیم گرفته‌ام به وسوسه‌ی قدیمی‌ام که می‌دانم وسوسه‌ی خیلی‌های دیگر هم هست تن بدهم و به کشوری بروم که حتی از بردن نامش منع شده‌ایم، چه رسد به اینکه از نزدیک ببینیمش. (گذرنامه‌ی ایران برای سفر به اسراییل اعتبار ندارد.)
من به عنوان یک کانادایی-ایرانی به اسراییل می‌روم تا همان‌طور که آقای خاتمی در ایده‌ی گفتگوی تمدنهایش گفته بود، با برقرار کردن دیالوگ با اسراییلی‌های مثل خودم از جنگ جلوگیری و به صلح کمک کنم.
به اسراییل می‌روم تا ببینم مردمش چطور درباره‌ی ما ایرانیان فکر می‌کنند و چقدر تصوراتی که از ما و ایران دارند به واقعیت نزدیک است. همین‌طور ببینم خود اسراییل چقدر به چیزی که رژیم جمهوری اسلامی بیست و شش سال صبح و شب توی کله‌ی ما کرده است نزدیک است.
می‌روم به آنها نشان بدهم که همه‌ی ایرانی‌ها مثل احمدی‌نژاد نیستند و مانند او دنیا را نمی‌بینند. می‌روم که با آنها بگویم هرقدر بیشتر به ایران فشار بیاورند آدم‌هایی مثل احمدی‌نژاد قوی‌تر می شوند و در مقابل زن‌ها و مردهای جوانی که سال‌هاست دارند با صبر و تحمل فراوان، ریز ریز رفتار این حکومت نکره و قلچماق را عوض می‌کنند، ضعیف و شعیف‌تر می‌شوند.
می‌‌خواهم به آنها بگویم بسیاری از جوان‌های ایران امروز هیچ مشکلی با اسراییل به عنوان یک واقعیت ندارند و هیچ دلشان نمی‌خواهد با هیچ کشور یا ملتی در جنگ و قهر باشند. می‌خواهند با همه گفتگو کنند و اگر مشکلی هست بدون جنگ و خونریزی حل کنند و اگر اختلافی دارند بطور متمدنانه باهم مخالف باشند ولی به هم احترام بگذارند.
به اسراییل می‌روم که به آنها حداقل یک ایرانی را نشان دهم که با وجود اینکه تمام عمرش را در همین جمهوری‌اسلامی و در خانواده و مدرسه‌ای مذهبی و انقلابی بزرگ شده، با سیاست جمهوری اسلامی درباره‌ی اسراییل کاملا مخالف است و نه تنها آن کشور را به رسمیت می‌شناسد، بلکه فکر می‌کند به سود منافع دراز مدت ملی ایران است که با اسراییل روابط دوستانه داشته باشد. می‌‌خواهم به آنها بگویم که هزاران ایرانی هستند مثل من که می‌خواهند ایران به روند صلح میان فلسطین و اسراییل کمک کند، نه اینکه (مانند حکومت فعلی بخاطر منافع کوتاه‌مدتش) در آن مانع ایجاد کند و عقیده دارند که این کار بدون برقراری رابطه‌ی سالم و عادی دیپلماتیک با اسراییل ممکن نیست.
می‌دانم این سفر را جمهوری اسلامی (از آبادگران تا مشارکت) چگونه خواهد دید و چگونه بر من برچسب‌های سطحی احمقانه‌اش را خواهد زد. می‌دانم که این سفر ممکن است باعث شود به این زودی‌ها نتوانم به مملکتم برگردم. ولی مهم نیست. اگر قرار بود در چهارچوبی که خامنه‌ای برایم تعیین کرده بمانم که اصلا نه شما اینجا بودید و نه من. من یک شهروند جهانی مستقل و زاده‌ی ایرانم و هر کاری که ببینم می‌تواند ذره‌ای زندگی آدم‌های دنیا را بهتر کند، می‌کنم و هزینه‌اش را هم می‌دهم – فعلا که درنتیجه‌ی این سبک زندگی نه به ایران می‌توانم بروم نه آمریکا.
سفر به اسراییل تابوی احمقانه‌ای است که جمهوری اسلامی درست کرده و اگر در ده سال اول انقلاب کارکردی داشت الان واقعا هیچ فایده‌ای برای هیچکس جز تندروهای بی‌عقل ندارد. دیگر زمان شکستن این تابو است.
بزرگترین هدف من از این سفر آن است که برای آنها ایرانی را که می‌شناسم نشان دهم و برای شما هم برداشتم را از اسراییل و مردمانش بنویسم. سعی می‌کنم هر روز هم به انگلیسی و هم به فارسی مطلب بنویسم و شما را در جریان قرار دهم. دوربینم را همه‌جا با خودم می‌برم و عکس‌ها و ویدیوهایی را که می‌گیرم روی اینترنت می‌گذارم تا همه بتوانید ببینید. اگر بتوانم یکی دو تا پادکست هم درست می‌کنم.
به جز این، قرار است در یکی دوتا جمع کوچک دانشگاهی هم درباره‌ی ایران، جوانان و اصلاح‌طلبی صحبت کنم که بعدا درباره‌شان بیشتر توضیح خواهم داد. ولی گمان می‌کنم فرصت بسیار خوبی شود که بتوانم با ایرانی‌های مقیم اسراییل آشنا شوم و شاید بالاخره توانم آن پروژه‌ی قدیمی وبلاگی‌ام را عملی کنم.

Question???

2006-01-17T08:22:00.000+13:00

Energy, technology, weaponry. They are all the same, or are they?

Iran, the next nuke power??? Dream on .... :)

2006-01-16T14:57:00.000+13:00

How many year have Iran been under sanctions already? It’s been well over two decades that countries directed by the US have tried imposing embargo on Iran in any possible way.
To start with I give the western world all the rights to push through and scare off unlawful Iranian authorities by threats of sanctions and so on, but it gets to a point that any politically aware individual can see that whatever practised literally had no effect and have left the relationship (Iran with the rest of the world (rest of the world= The US ball lickers)) in turmoil.
Whenever I got to speak in public about my homeland I defended my countrymen (not the fanatic rulers) as you expect any individual with some decency to do so, I have been pretty fair though. Tried to word out starting with some ridicules things like, people actually drive cars in Iran and they don’t ride camels, working my way up talking about things that make more sense and not as much laughable depending on the listeners level of ignorance. I should admit though that I have had some great discussion with people whom definitely knew their stuff (Generally older people) and are not just any ordinary couch potato getting the world update through BBC, CNBC,CNN or…

In my recent encounter I have chatted to people regarding Iran and its atomic ordeal. Everyone seems to be buying the idea from the US and their three allies that Iranians are trying to get their hand on the technology which eventually enables them to develop nuke weapons. What a load of nonsense? Who would believe that?

There is no doubt about untrustworthiness of Iranian rulers and their willingness to commit brutal acts when they feel threaten but I mean come on… they are years away. So what’s all the fuss about? Oh I know it is another noise making strategy to make the world ready.

Simply look at it this way. When the US wanted to go into a war with Iraq the happily ignored the guidelines of the UN and went ahead with it. Now don’t you find it ridicules when Dr. Condoleezza Rice stresses on the option of referring Iran to the UN Security Council. Firstly since when UN have become a respectable law enforcement in the US eyes? Secondly do you think Iranian government gives a fuck? I don’t think so.

So it is just the waiting game. Options are endless when it comes to dealing with Iran (The axis of the evil contender) by the big bully (The US), but which one is feasible?
Military action? Huh …Dream on. They are engaged with Afghanistan and Iraq more than they can afford at the moment.

Sanction???Embargos?? Iran is not bothered by it at all. Unfortunately they have developed immunity against this over the years. It is going to be considered a shoot in the foot for the US and the west since it is just going to add to the oil spiral.

Other options? hmmmm, this one seems an interesting one. I'll post more on this one later, Focusing on plans that the US has for the mainly Arab state in south west of Iran bordering Iraq called Khuzestan.

Iran as always playing it carelessly, and west is left amazed by ones ignorance and trying hard to make sense of what on earth is happening.

Oh well…..

All I say is “I am glad I’m not in charge of making decisions”.

Same old, same old.....

Back at work and it is boring as. I mean I’ve got plenty of things in my basket but things are depending on one another and that’s why I have to hold fire till the ground is ready for things to roll. Anyway, it’s the mid summer here and the weather is bloody great. It is nice, sunny and warmish most of days. It’s been getting up to 23, 24 C degrees in the past two weeks and not windy as much. Wellington city is known for its so called “breeze” but I can assure you it is anything but a breeze. Honestly it sometimes blows you off your feet, so it is fair to be grateful for the absence of the “breeze”. Sitting in the office is getting hard and harder as the sun shines outside and days get even nicer.

Luckily we spent about a week or so out in the nature. We camped by Blue Lake and it only rained once. It is one of the many fresh water lakes in New Zealand situated on the volcanic crater about 8 km south east of Rotorua in north Island. The wife and I got sunburnt but I guess she calls it a tan.

It is absolutely fantastic to see how the nature is kept intact and tidy here in New Zealand. I visited the same camping ground and lake back in December 1998 and found it unharmed on my recent visit after seven years or so. Still as clean and beautiful as before.

It’s pity how things get ruined in Iran regardless of their precious values, whether it is historical, natural or else. I was born in Shiraz and lucky enough to visit Takht-e-Jamshid (Persepolis) regularly as a child. As far as my memory allows me I can recall Persepolis being degraded from the historical site symbolising the true centre of Persian Empire to the ruins of a caravansary with brick and blocks missing year after year.

My latest visits took place during 1997,1999 and 2005. Each time I visited the site I found it less and less attractive with objects (15+ tones stone pillar bases I’m talking about not a hair clip of the kings' latest concubine) missing one after another. Even the museum which is situated right in the heart of the site had had artefacts nicked from it. However I shall mention the great effort cultural heritage foundation has put in to fabulously landscaping the fairway approaching the site from the south.

Only in New Zealand

امروز صبح رفته بودم خرید. از خیابانی می گذشتم که شاید سالهاست بدون توجه آنچنانی هفته ای چندین بار از آن رد میشوم. اما امروز صبح یکشنبه بود و خیابان به نسبت خلوت. از این رو برای سرگرمی شروع کردم به خواندن تابلوها.چیزی نگذشت که انگشت حیرتم به دهان رفت. جریان از این قرار است که در شماره ۲۱۶ این خیابان کلیسایی و در شماره ۲۱۸ ( یعنی چسبیده به همین کلیسا) عشرتکدهئ (بخواندش همان **ده خانه خودمان).پيش خود فکر ميکنم که به احتمال زياد اين همزیستی از نوادر دنياست.به راستی شما به اين چيه می گو ييد؟ مدرنيته.....؟

توضیح: نه عشرتکده و نه کلیسا هيچ کدام در محله چراغ قرمز که در هر شهری برای جادادن اماکن تفریحی ۱۸ سال به بالاها تعبییه شده است قرار ندارند.

Another Wednesday

2006-01-05T00:34:00.000+13:00

It’s getting a bit yucky. Four more days new year holidays end and have to go back to work. This afternoon got bumped into a colleague in town (Actually we were waiting for the lights to turn green and I spotted him in the car next to us) which kindly reminded me this painful fact. Anyway… there is still four sleeps to go.

I had so much planned for these holidays, travelling, reading, studying, and fixing up stuff. Out of all these just been travelling in north island and some hardcore leisure reading. I have to sit my Citrix certification exam shortly but haven’t done much studying so far. I hope the latest project I’m assigned to at work get me more exposed to it in the next couple weeks so I can build up the guts to sit the exam. See what happens.

Today I met a fellow blogger on yahoo messenger which I was getting worry of his absence. He was good and healthy, apparently just busy with some guests flown over from abroad and kind of promised that he’ll update his blog shortly. (To my astonishment he actually updated on that very hour) . :)

Anyway… I better go now.

Chinese proverb

2006-01-03T23:25:00.000+13:00

一字千金 ( Yi Zi Qian Jing)
One written word is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

یک کلمه نوشته شده ارزش هزاران قطعه طلا را داراست

Lu Buwei who became the prime minister of Zi Chu the king of Qin 251 BC, assembeled a great houshold of guest-scholars. He Compiled the best articles they wrote into a famous book entitled "Spring and Sutumn Annuals". The words were displayed on tablets at the city gates.One thousand pieces of gold were suspended above the text proclaiming that this would be the reward to anyone who improve the book even by adding or deleting one word (字 / Character).

This is how this proverb were born about 2250 years ago.

قایق بان

2006-01-03T23:14:00.000+13:00

بر سر قایقش اندیشه کنان قایق بان دائماً میزند از رنج سفر بر سر دریا فریاد

اگرم کشمکش موج سوی ساحل راهی میداد

سخت طوفان زده روی دریاست نا شکیباست به دل قایق بان

شب پر از حادثه.دهشت افزاست. بر سر ساحل هم لیکن اندیشه کنان قایق بان نا شکیباتر بر می شود از او فریاد

کاش بازم رهم بر خطه ی دریای گران می افتاد

Shabhayeh Barareh (Barareh Nights)

The ground-breaking comedy show being aired by Iranian television each night at 20:00 is bringing critics to the surface again and proving that they weren’t too wrong after all.

Mehran Modiri and his crew have been producing some real sweet comedy over there years and been doing pretty good. The got so popular not long before they aired their first episode of the comedy series around March 1993. In fact they were breaking the taboo of making people laugh on the air as it was forbidden in the so called Islamic republic of Iran. After the Islamic revolution of 1979, Iranian broadcasters tend to stick to their hidden agenda of making people wretched and miserable taking any opportunity to suppress anything that may shine in peoples life.

Anyway, they (Mehran Modiri) got banned and forbidden from producing any TV series, in fact TV broadcasters faced the fear of being closed down if they aired any episode, series or documentary featuring the so called “Distinguished” group of actors and actresses. Anyway, long story short, years rolled on and as with anything else in Iran, bribes made their way through to officials and the group gained the permission to start producing.

Their latest production that is being aired from around October 2005 has been putting Iran on halt around 20:00 on weekdays. No other show produced in the past three decades is comparable with “Shabhayeh Barareh” (Barareh Nights) due to its extreme sarcasm and political flavor. The series focuses on the society and political issues. Even though it is beating about the bush a bit but the patterns of the series mimicked from “Animal Farm” suggests that it is actually getting somewhere.

It is just the waiting game now. Let’s wait and see if they get anywhere with what they are cooking. Although it is comedy surprisingly many ordinary citizens are waking up to the surrounding facts of everyday life in Iran thanks to “Shabhayeh Barareh”.

Hello

2006-01-02T21:40:00.000+13:00

Hello,
It's good to have a presence online after a long while. I've been thinking of blogging for a while but neither had the time nor the courage. So as of this week I have made my New Year resolution to start on a weblog.
Hopefully the content will not turn out boring. I’ll be doing my best to share whatever crosses my mind here during the day and night, as well as sharing the sites I may visit, movies I watch or the book and articles I read.

I have been reading blogs for years now, and made several good friends, learnt plenty of things and developed my horizon.

So, please let this be a desperate attempt of mine to entertain and enlighten you.

See you

Taaba
