Yes darling all the above were progress.

You have to know what life was like before the late shah, what it was like with him and lastly what it was like without him, to make an informed decision regarding whether he brought progress or not.  Yes, His era was one of Massive progress, no question in comparison to Iran before, literacy went from under 10% to over 80%.  If you were to compare him with another country, with another history, another culture and another level of development you might have a point, Iran was not Switzerland darling and yes it was getting far better year after year.  I think some idealists don't think at all or ever reflect on anything critical to making ones mind up.  It is people that right posts about the late shah being a war monger that remind us all how dishonest anti-monarchists are.  Which war were you referring to our 4 legged professor?  What country were you comparing iran to, instead of her own history, mule scent?  Was the late Shah responsible for all the cultural and historical sell outs with 4 legs who supported emam kholmeini in putting Islam in government?  Did 1979 prove to you that Iranians were fully ready for running a secular democracy long ears?

Schizophernia as old Monarchists' diseas?

SAVAK working hand in glove with Hojatieh, as a sign of progress?

Establishment of Rastakhiz, single-party system as advanced democracy?

Existence of slums all around Tehran and every other major city of Iran, during shah's regin, an indication of wealth distribution?

The only  jack-ass in-cheif was that phocking whore mongering, imbecile, insatlled by forigners, and taken out by them.

Stupidest of them all is the medicated (Prozac?) geriatric ones, still having a hard time understanding the meaning of the word LACKY.

You obtuse monarchists have no one to blame, other than your stupid king, and his even stupider followers, like yourself. Cheers

Who's stupid now?

Those that betrayed the Late Shah and continue to lie about him aren't exactly looking like geniuses with street credibilty.  Most are aware Iran was getting better with the Shah. Anti-monarchists have a way of showing their 4 leggedness and their mule stench no matter what atr they spray on themselves.

Just sayin ......... 

"Stupid is what stupid does."

Iran being the second oil exporter in the world. Having enormous natural and human resources, yet under Islamic Republic of Hell we have:

-Thirty five million Iraninas living below the poverty line (accordign to IR's own statestics).

- Eighty percent of Iranina working class under the poverty line (again accordign to IR's own statestics).

- The line of poverty moving up from 300,000 Tomans last year to 1,000,000 Tomans at the moment

- Unspeakable crimes and repression commited against Iranian people in the name of allah and....

This short list of irrational stupidities governing our people could go on for a long while, but I spare you.

Who's stupid now? The shameless, loser apologists of IR and their bosses? Or..

I'm just asking. 

@Iraj Khan

You are 100% right. There was not long ago this frustrated dude who had a blog with a similar title or something like iranians are donkeys...

Anyway, I am so happy for him to have injected an anti-donkeyness vaccine upon his exit from Iran.

Maybekhor,

I looked at the cartoon a few times.

Now I know why I did come back to it.

It was because of the following words on the man's back:

"Iranians are stupid"

and I thought of what Forest Gump said: "Stupid is what stupid does".

I'm just saying,

Iraj

Who's side are you on while living in the US?? Obvious No?

My soul is not for sale.  Not for a country, a person, a leader, a religion, a god or any reason what so ever is just cause enough to sell ones self out.  Where you live is not a just, rational or legitimate reason to be a sell out, whether in iran, supporting the IRI despite their crimes or whether in the USA supporting theirs.  Surely that is as obvious as the light of day.  As a humanitarian, democrat or conservative, I can only support lawful actions.  Killing raping and robbing todays children and tomorrows children goes against my being and my interests.  Inhumanity is accepted as unlawful and indeed illegal.  Therefore I oppose all wars and realize that the country that starts a war (an act of aggression) is legally responsible for all the crimes committed during that war, regardless of whether they are stronger and can win.  Unlawful actions are the natural by product of policies that are intended to serve militaristic, colonialistic and extremist spreading agendas, all of which are also accepted as inhumane.  Only to be told to shut up, usually by sell outs to themselves more than anything, who somehow don't see the contradiction of then saying they believe in democracy (how about practicing it?) or told to support crimes because you live in a place is unconscionable and hardly an argument one expects to receive from a democrat.  Iranians need to grow up and realize it is totally disingenuous to say that the USA can do no evil and should be cheered on because it is supposedly a democracy.  As long as sellouts give USA their unconditional support, the entire human race suffers.

This response was in support of those living in the USA and are being told they have to put xyz aside to live there. I live in the UK and do not agree with everything done by the government and have no intention of compromising when it comes to my hearts wisdom, which unlike religous extremists who have usurped Iran and chose to not use their god given gifts and are on a daily basis for over 33 years now compromised their heart, soul, conscience and far more. 

 Abarmard: :Sanction means

 Abarmard: :Sanction means war... What are you going to do about it? Who's side are you on while living in the US?? Are you going to fight back??? Do you use to play a lot of  G.i. Joe games? Or whatever the the Persian version is called G.I. Basiji war games?? Most of your comment are a testostrone fest of emotionally stagnated adolescent...

A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny.--Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.

Suggestion Abamard, #1 issue for Iran is not one of war or not.

It is restoring freedom and working to create a SECULAR democracy.  So my suggestion is to ask this question.  Will the west, USA, UK, France continue in their actions of supporting Islamic Extremism that are anti-secular for iranians and against their wishes?  Will they continue using their media as propaganda to cover up this policy?

Sanctions mean war

Any questions?

AO nothing wrong with stating truth about militaristic west

I know as do most with exception of Dunces west/USA/UK/France are responsible for stealing Iranians Freedom in 1979 by betraying the late shah and to this day supporting extremist mullahs and continuing to support them in secular muslim countries.  While the west talks out of both sides of their mouths publicly, their actions show they only support anti-secular extremists.  They deserve fair comments.  What would be ignorant is to think like you and remain quiet, while our homeland and freedom are lost.  AO are you sure you are Iranian?  Doesn't Iranian Freedom and Democracy matter to you, or have you decided being a sell out suits the level of your intellect?  I have news for you, IRI is not Iranians only issue, but also important if not more so are those that brought IRI to power and help them stay in power.

words of a wise man....

"Here on IC, we have a virtual micrcosom of the real Iranian culture and politics. Everyone is basically pretty much entrenched in their opinions and positions, and not going to change them any time soon, and we all have to learn how to deal with our opponents, and each other, and god forbid, maybe even, once in a blue moon learn from each other"

Amen to that!

Roozbeh jaan,

Scroll down this page, and I think you'll find the demo you are referring to:

//azarmehr.blogspot.com/ 

When I arrived in Denmark

When one enters any one of the Western countries, ass-kissing is not mentioned in the application form. So it must be something one developes in later stages of life. Tell me about it and you might convince me.

I belong to a healthy opposition group here majority of which are Danes. They'll laugh their head off when they find out they are "parasites."

مهرداد گرامی : "جانا سخن از زبان ما میگویی"

Cousine Mehrdad, couldn't agree more with you, regarding the general response to the "Prisoner of the Day" column in here (and I would like to thank, once more, everyone involved in IC for creating and maintaining this timely, very important, probably the most important column on IC).

Other than you yourself, Rozbeh, Maryam Hojjati, and a few others few have shown any consistency in voicing their solidarity. What's most embarassing at times, is how some people instead of expressing UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT for our political prisoners, take the opportunity to raise sectarian or personal differences with these political prisoners, forgetting the fact that, no matter what we might think of those individuals incarcerated by IR, once they are behind bars they automatically become OUR political prisoners.

Having said that, let us not forget that pro-war, pro-sanction tendency in here is actually augmented by the presence of shameless, loser apologists of IR, such as MB-MB, PN,...

Then again all of this means, welcome to the real world! 

Here on IC, we have a virtual micrcosom of the real Iranian culture and politics. Everyone is basically pretty much entrenched in their opinions and positions, and not going to change them any time soon, and we all have to learn how to deal with our opponents, and each other, and god forbid, maybe even, once in a blue moon learn from each other!  Cheers 

it's more about being a hypocrite

You live in the West and constantly badmouth it. why don't you just return to the OF paradise, or to Gaza in your specific case? What are you doing here? In my opinion they should have never let you parasites in to begin with.

You are absolutely right

You are actually not much of anything if you think living in a certain country is analogous to being a submissive sheep.

I'm not much of a cartoonist

but I believe that the following two cartoons by my friend Fesenjoon apply to you and your type.  Please feel free to substitute Denmark for the U.S.:

//iranian.com/main/blog/fesenjoon/10-ways-recognize-iranian-closet-islamist

//iranian.com/main/blog/fesenjoon-2 

anti-war or pro regime?

First of all: In my opinion, a war on Iran in any form and shape would be a disaster for Iranian people, even if it would  lead to collapse of the Islamist Velayate faghih regime. So it must be opposed 

Second: Not picking on this particular blogger or any blogger for that matter. But outside the cyber space, in real world, there is undeniable proof that the ranks of genuine anti-war/pro peace movement is heavily infiltrated by forces, lets put it politely "loyal" to islamic regime of Iran, only worried about the collapse of islamic regime in case of a war. This is becoming very obvious and bad for true anti war movement, and people of Iran.

A fine example of this was in London a few weeks ago,  (video in balatarin web site, which I can not access right now for some reason...), where in a "Hands off Iran" demo, attended by up to a hundered or so in Hyde park London, there were lots of flags of Syria and hezbullah terror group. Where the only Iranian flag raised by a few of demonstrators was violently dragged down and stamped upon by London residing Iranian men, some wearing T-shirts with picture of Khamenei on it...

Now I am sure those men would call me a Zionist, Warmonger and Mossad agent and the rest, for writing this comment, but so be it, since I just called them pro-regime, which in my book's the worst insultive adjective alive...  

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

OK, VPK, but

But what is the line I am forcing people to tow?

Just read some of the comments to this cartoon, and you'll know what kind of people I am talking about. 

MB

My opinions are well known and posted many times. Please read my posts to AO and others for proof.

The reason I am bothered is the implications that we must "tow the line". It is not up to me or you to define who is Iranian. Just as it is not up to anyone to call "Iranians" stupid. 

I have a problem with two groups. One sees Iranians are "Muslims" with all the baggage. The other is running away from their Iranian heritage. I don't support either one. People do not owe others and do not have to be what others want.

Don't hold your breath Mash Ghasem

Maybokho's concern lies with one nation and one people only: Palestine, and everything related to Palestine.  Here he is tearing himself apart for the nine Turks who died on the Gaza bound ship:

//iranian.com/main/blog/meybokhor-manbarbesuzan/intimidators-koor-khundin-0

have you ever seen him write such a blog for thousands of Iranians who have died at the hands of the regime?  or Iranian political prisoners?  But the slightest news out of Palestine, and he's all over it.  He is part of the anti-Iranian plague that took over our country 33 years ago, and continues to today. 

It's actually very ironic for a person like him, who has shown no compassion for Iranians through his term on IC, and who has only been concerned for the welfare of non-Iranians to write such a blog criticizing others.  But portraying oneself as a victim is a known tactic of followers of a certain ideology:

//iranian.com/main/blog/onlyiran/iri-professional-victim

@VPK: ? and ? and ?

Are you pro-war?

Are you for these sanctions that are hurting the man on the street?

Do you call Iranians stupid in your blogs?

Are you vulgar in your language?

If your answer is no to the above, then why are you offended? I aim at those hypocrites who think the the mere wearing of a Faravahar necklace makes them a follower of "good thoughts good words good deeds" where as their behavior on IC is anything but.

And if you think I am in anyway insulting our ancestors, then you have a very superficial way of interpreting the subject.

And what has the cartoon got to do with Islamism and IRI line?

It has everything to do with the foul-mouthed individuals that have made a circus out of IC. 

Mash Ghasem aziz: apology for my unsolicited opinion here..

I respect and agree with your opinion most of the time, but couldn’t resist pointing out here

 “Start to write ( for once in your life) about:

- Political prisoners in Iran”

 That for over a month now we have been having these “prisoner of the day”, a campaign to voice our support for these brave group, yet few ever take one min. time to voice their support.   This lack of attention is not limited to MB-MB but vast majority of the folks, specially those who proclaim anti-IRI and often time cheer for bom bom bomb Iran.

'Hambastegi' is the main key to victory 

Mehrdad

What do you mean by "white"

MB what is a "white man wannabe" and does it beat a "Palestinian wannabe". There are people who are not anything wannable just are themselves. I do not need to apologize for who I am or for my ancestors.

You are implying that honoring my ancestors is somehow bad. That I am required to follow the IRI line. Basically that a "real" Iranian is a pro IRI Muslim. Well not this one; I reject Islamism and too bad if IRI don't like it

Tabrik va Tasliet arz mikonim!

I got so much sensitivity in me (specially after my anger managment classes) it's a bit scary!

IR thugs kill defensless Iranians on streets of Iran and think they could just do the same all over the world.

Just keep in mind how many "Iranians" have been arrested in south east-asia on charges of drug smuggling (almost all of them members of Sepah), then we realize what kind of "Iranians" we're talking about.

Sepah and its thugs, inside Iran could have a license to kill, deal in drugs, export Iranian children as sex-workers to Dubbai, but once they step outside of Iran it's the real world they have to deal with.

MB_MB, do you get the difference between the real world, and your make-belive utopia of Islamic Republic of Hell?

Mash Ghasem, please show some sensitivity

This is a difficult time, as one of his "akhi" blew off his leg yesterday in Bangkok. Tasliat arz mikonam....
