Hussein’s choice

Whereas standard diplomacy is the exercise in which government leaders communicate with one another, public diplomacy is dedicated to communicating with citizens in other countries.

With the advent of easily accessible mass communication, especially since the world wide spread of satellite T.V channels and internet usage, public diplomacy has gained appreciation as an effective foreign policy tool. It is basically a public relation endeavor where the aim is to win hearts and minds through dialogue.  And dialogue by definition requires talking as well as listening.

The United States has a sizable public diplomacy within the State Department which ever since the Islamist homicidal attacks of 9/11 has been given extra prominence in the two successive U.S. administrations.

The mission statement for the program is to present America’s case to foreign audiences and listen to and convey what those audiences have to say to U.S. decision makers.

During the November 4th shameful IRR, Islamist Rapist Republic, annual commemoration of taking American diplomats hostage, many Iranians used the occasion to voice their disgust of the IRR. While the brave men and women were being savagely beaten by the Islamist Rapist goon squads, many pointed slogans including death to Russia and death to Khameni were used.

Hatred of Russia is due to its longstanding cooperation with the Islamist Rapists against people of Iran and Khamenei for being the Head Islamist Rapist.  

But there also was one widely used slogan which should be of special interest to public diplomacy folks in the State Department.  Being aware of number of unsolicited letters and messages from President Obama to the Head Rapist Khamenei seeking friendly relations, throngs of oppressed Iranian men and women repeatedly shouted aloud a catchy rhyming slogan in Persian:

 "Barak Hussein Obama, Ya Ba Una Ya Ba Ma! (Translation: "Barack Hussein Obama-- either you're with them, or with us." )

The mostly undisputed fact is next to the Israelis the only other friend America has got in the region are the Iranians. Before it is too late and a nuke acquiring IRR imposes a devastating war on Iran and the region, President Obama would do well to hear the unambiguous message of oppressed people of Iran,  don't be like the Russians and cut a deal with IRR, it is Hussein’s choice.

Mammad: I think you're a paranoid, frustrated muslim who is  obssessed with hating jews and with defending the Islamic nature of the government in Iran at any cost.

More people have died in the name of religion than in any other catastrophe or plague.

 Malaria, and other plagues have killed an awful lot of humanity.  However, unlike religion we are trying to cure it.  There seems to be no cure for religion.


Q

Fred, why not use "Obama" ?

by Q on

That was the word they used in the streets in Tehran, why didn't you just use that?

Either you meant Saddam Hussain as a purposeful pun as if to say "roll over or be bombed like Saddam", in a all-too-typical Israeli "might makes right" argument that belies almost everything you have ever said,

or

you are one of those real lowlives who instigate Islamophobic hatred by using the Presidents middle name in an arbitrary and deragatory tone.

I honestly don't know. You defintely are full of yourself with your over-the-top language devices, but at the same time, you are also a definite Islamophobe, and your continuous use of right-wing fascist newspeak is further evidence of this. So the jury is out on this one.

The mostly undisputed fact is next to the Israelis the only other friend America has got in the region are the Iranians.

LOL. I belive this "mostly" proves your real priorities and reason behind your well-disciplined public relations operations on this site. Listen to what you are arrogantly advising the US President: DO IT FOR ISRAEL, they need friends! Sometimes, you just can't help but let the cat out of the bag!

Happy Haji II

by Fred on

Happy Haji says:

“No one - at least not me - is not fooled by Hussein being Barack Hussein Obama. You meant Saddam Hussein, in order to rehash your advocacy of war and destruction, but after being caught lying so often, you now want to say it in a different and semmingly more complex way and have a plausible deniability!!”

 

So Haji shall I add mindreading to your many qualifications? I repeat the slogan of the anti-Islamist Iranians inside Iran and you say I did not mean the middle name of Obama, rather what you want me to mean by it.

As to your debunking my opinions via personal attacks, go for it, Islamists can’t help it. As to your popularity with all sorts of mass media, have you considered the possibility that it might have something to do with them wanting to know the Islamists’ point of view?

As to Israel and Iran friendship, I leave that for Iranians inside Iran and you trying to convince them otherwise.

You failed to answer my question, here it is again:

BTW, for an Islamist truth crusader you also do a bang up job in contextualizing and   justifying your brethrens’ crimes where you say:    

 “Yes, the regime has raped. Yes, storming the embassy, WHEN LOOKED AT WITH THE PRESENT HINDSIGHT, was wrong (although it must be looked at in the context of its time, and although the intention of the student leaders was not to drag that on.” the capitalization is your own. 

 So the hostage taking of American diplomats, which you call "storming the embassy"  was sort of understandable within the context of the time and is only wrong in hindsight?” 

 So your Islamist hostage taking brethrens didn’t mean to drag it on and only meant to take them hostage for a while? Does that take away from the severity of their crime? 

 Is that what you are saying or my poor reading skill is failing me? Why not understanding all the raping your Islamist brethrens have done and still do within the context too?        For an Islamist truth crusader you are hilariously funny Haji!

Reverting to being a low-life again

by Mammad on

It is an old story that you cannot control your hateful impulses that are based on hatred and imbecility. You are not capable of responding to a question that was devoid of impoliteness.

Since you are a low-life laat and utterly imbecile, you think others are also like you. As I said before, this is not surprising. In the kingdom of imbecility and hatred that you rule, these are the norms.

No one - at least not me - is not fooled by Hussein being Barack Hussein Obama. You meant Saddam Hussein, in order to rehash your advocacy of war and destruction, but after being caught lying so often, you now want to say it in a different and semmingly more complex way and have a plausible deniability!!

As for Dr. Shariati being a charlatan: he was infinitely better than a low-life laat like you who has nothing to offer but propaganda for war, destruction, and hatred based on lies, exaggerations, and nonsense. He had influence over millions, you cannot convince anybody HERE, except people of your own type, even though you are posting three times a day and working overtime to rehash the same again and again. 

As for my articles being frivolous: They may be, but they seem to have total traction. They are cited all the time. Wherever they are sent, they are immediately printed or posted in some of the most important print media and websites. Their author is interviewed several times EVERY WEEK. So, either I am doing something right, or those who take the articles are like you - imbecile. I tend to believe that your kingdom of imbecility and hatred is populated by only a few like you.

As for Israel being a friend of Iran: I needed a good laugh to start my saturday. I got it. Thank you. Hey, what do you know! You are good for something, after all.

Haji, for the answer to your question try Obama’s middle name.  

As to Israel and Iran’s friendship, I know for Islamists it is an anathema, without their misogyny and hatred for Israel where Jews get to live in safety and have their own protectors, Islamists are nothing. You folks rather talk about friendship between Iran and Syria or others in the region, try selling that to the enslaved Iranians inside Iran and see how many khodeti you get.

What can I tell you Haji, facts of life, history and strategic interests are not like charlatan Ali Shariati stuff that you can make up, they are what they are. But don’t worry, continue writing your frivolous essays, they might take your mind away from seeing all your Islamist`s core dogma going down the drain.

Hussein's Choice?

by Mammad on

What does that mean? Which version? the 1991 or 2003 version?

If the former, it means sanctions, sanctions that killed at least 500,000 Iraqi children, sanctions that eventually led to war and invasion.

If the latter, it means outright attack, invasion, and war.

So, which one?

Israel as friend of Iran? I needed a hard and deep laugh after spending my entire Friday writing an article about the plight of journalists in Iran since the June 12 fruad, and got it here. Thank you.

I find it amazing that you link two totally, completely, 100%, most definitely unrelated things to each other to advocate sanctions against your own compatriots. Either the shooter in Texas was a mentally ill person or he was not. In any event, what the devil he murdering innocent people has anything to do with whether the U.S. should or should not negotiate with Iran?

Shooting of that sort happens in the U.S. all the time. So, if we were to go according to your train of thought and, for example, a Jew kills some people here, we should jump on it and advocate one policy or another against or in support of Israel? That would be as absurd as your comment.

With all due respect - and I do mean respect, because you usually leave thoughtful comments - this comment was totally uncalled for. Not even the crazies at Fox News suggested anything like that.

I am surprised that instead of getting to my actual objection you go on about Nidal Malik Hasan story. But even following your copy pasted blog, one thing is certain and that is: He was not Iranian! He was born in US to Palestinian parents and didn't even speak arabic. They are still investigating the real motives and there are two possibilities they are considering: please read

//www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120183526

What does he have to do with Iran?

As far as Robert Baer, he's an ex CIA agent in the middle east who is now making money off his books and his appearances as an "expert" in the middle east. Please don't tell me that CIA has been very successful in becoming expert in the ME! I went to his book signing and sat through his little story telling, watched him proven wrong by the other speaker too and if I were you I would take what he says with a grain of salt.  

Thanks

A more plausible cause for the shooter's behavior could be this one:

by vildemose on

This is a comment by ex=programmer which I think aptly debunks the shooter's PTSD allegations:

He doesn't have PTSD! He was never even deployed overseas! You don't get PTSD from working as a psychiatrist in Washinton DC! Just wanted to point that out. This guy doesn't have PTSD any more than Charles Manson had PTSD. What I want to know is how he spent so many years working around other military mental health professionals, and nobody noticed there was something seriously wrong with the guy.

by vildemose on

The signs were there, he was exposed to all the horrifying experiences of the wartime soldiers who he was seeing due to his job and he was unstable due to the amount of psychological pressure that such stressful life can cause during so many years that he was exposed to it.

You're pretty talented yourself; emblishing that is...

Irandokht and captain: I

by vildemose on

Irandokht and captain: I was against sanctions until I saw Robert Baer's interview. I do think now that the only thing that might save Iran from being attacked by the Israelis and ultimately by the US is a sanction.

The Fort Hood shooters was never in a battlefield. He had never been to Iraq or Afghanistan. He did not suffer from PTSD. He taught he was doing this for Allah. That's where the similarity with the Islamist republic starts.

 

Relatives said he felt harassed because of his Muslim faith but did not embrace extremism. Others were not so sure. A recent classmate said Hasan once gave a jarring presentation to students in which he argued the war on terrorism was a war against Islam, and "made himself a lightning rod for things" when he felt his religious beliefs were challenged.

Investigators were trying to piece together how and why Hasan allegedly gunned down his comrades in one of the worst mass shootings ever on an American military base. The rampage unfolded at a center where some 300 unarmed soldiers were lined up for vaccines and eye tests.

Soldiers reported that the gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar!" -- an Arabic phrase for "God is great!" -- before opening fire Thursday, said Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, the base commander. He said officials had not confirmed Hasan made the comment.

In light of shooting in Fort Hood, I hope Obama is more careful in his dealings with Islamist Jihadist Khomeinist running the Islamic Republic.

I have got to hand it to you. You managed to link Gooz be Shaghigheh in one eloquent sentence. Many have failed in that endeavor, including the Master Hater himself, Mr. Fred and the gang.

Only one question. Where does Iran come to play in all this?  What is it that you know that no one else does?

This guy in TX was trying very hard to not be shipped out to the war zone again. He was suffering from PTSD and had hired an attorney to help him get off war duties. The signs were there, he was exposed to all the horrifying experiences of the wartime soldiers who he was seeing due to his job and he was unstable due to the amount of psychological pressure that such stressful life can cause during so many years that he was exposed to it.

You are very talented vidermose. You write one short comment in which you not only dismiss the reality of what happened in Fort Hood, you also connect it to Iranians and try to draw some sort of support for Fred's agenda which is harsh sanctions on iranian people.  We don't need anyone to connect this case to Iran and Iranians.

We need more warmongers and scarecrows around the white house and around here. thanks fifi for yet another breath taking blog to give us direction. I haven't heard Bush and Bushies talk for a while and i feel a bit nostalgic reading your blog. Maybe they should send Howie to negotiate with a red button:
