what comes around goes

what comes around goes around. I lived in tehran from'69 to '74 went to TAS 6 7 8 & 9th grade It was an experience in the least . you can only try to discribe it to people in the states but unless you live it you'll never know long live the jube dog!!!

Way back then...

Hello CM - If you still have your old Talons yearbooks, check out p211 on the 1972 one, or p254 on the 1973. I never forget a face, and I remembered yours right off!

My time in Tehran left me with many fond memories - I wish it was OK to go back and visit. I understand your story perfectly.

Cheers - AM

TAS '78

Always interesting reading the recollection of TAS students from that time. I was also a student there in '78, but considerably younger -- first grade (Kerman building, if I remember correctly), as a matter of fact. My mom was a substitute teacher for some of the older classes just before things shut down. I remember things well, though; it all made quite an impression on me.

We were military dependents and were evacuated in early January '79. In December we tried to ship back everything we could, but we still lost a lot, too. I often wonder about our Iranian friends and whether any of those kind and generous people survived the next few years. One can hope. . . .

I am the poster of TAS memory being commented upon here...

Before you post your thought in response to what I wrote, please bear in mind I was simply sharing memories from a childhood spent in a beautiful country.

I was not making a political statement.

I loved the people and the culture, and consider myself a better person for having the experience.

(I know these words won't make a bit of difference to those posters who hate me simply for what they believe I represent, but these words are not meant for them.)

I appreciated your post.

Kourosh Daneshfar

I left Iran, in July of 1979, as a teen and been living in the U.S. for the past 27 years.
During my growing up in Iran, I heard a lot about politics and the role it has played in the evolution of my country. The question is, which country has it not played a role in!?
The world is a small place to live. Our planet is loosing its ability to support billions of people. Look at the effects on the environment. We are suffocating in our own garbage we are producing. There was a time that politicking mattered and I think now with what is happening in the environment, Mother Earth rules over all of Us. She is supreme.
I thank you again for the post, because, Now, specially now, I am learning more about my culture and who I really am and where I come from. Please don't ask me why, because I tell you, I was lost and now I am found.

American Dream, American School and the End of the Story

thje reality in IRI showes a good part of the story. however also other nations have seen how hegemonists will end. please just acknowledge the following:

America's self-defeating hegemony
Tue, 30 Oct 2007 17:04:02
By Francis Fukuyama
When I wrote about the "end of history" almost twenty years ago, one thing that I did not anticipate was the degree to which American behavior and misjudgments would make anti-Americanism one of the chief fault-lines of global politics.
And yet, particularly since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, that is precisely what has happened, owing to four key mistakes made by the Bush administration.
First, the doctrine of "preemption," which was devised in response to the 2001 attacks, was inappropriately broadened to include Iraq and other so-called "rogue states" that threatened to develop weapons of mass destruction. To be sure, preemption is fully justified vis-à-vis stateless terrorists wielding such weapons. But it cannot be the core of a general non-proliferation policy, whereby the United States intervenes militarily everywhere to prevent the development of nuclear weapons.
The cost of executing such a policy simply would be too high (several hundred billion dollars and tens of thousands of casualties in Iraq and still counting).
The second important miscalculation concerned the likely global reaction to America's exercise of its hegemonic power. Many people within the Bush administration believed that even without approval by the UN Security Council or NATO, American power would be legitimized by its successful use. This had been the pattern for many US initiatives during the Cold War, and in the Balkans during the 1990's; back then, it was known as "leadership" rather than "unilateralism."
But, by the time of the Iraq war, conditions had changed: the US had grown so powerful relative to the rest of the world that the lack of reciprocity became an intense source of irritation even to America's closest allies. The structural anti-Americanism arising from the global distribution of power was evident well before the Iraq war, in the opposition to American-led globalization during the Clinton years. But it was exacerbated by the Bush administration's "in-your-face" disregard for a variety of international institutions as soon it came into office - a pattern that continued through the onset of the Iraq war.
America's third mistake was to overestimate how effective conventional military power would be in dealing with the weak states and networked transnational organizations that characterize international politics, at least in the broader Middle East. It is worth pondering why a country with more military power than any other in human history, and that spends as much on its military as virtually the rest of the world combined, cannot bring security to a small country of 24 million people after more than three years of occupation.
At least part of the problem is that it is dealing with complex social forces that are not organized into centralized hierarchies that can enforce rules, and thus be deterred, coerced, or otherwise manipulated through conventional power.
Israel made a similar mistake in thinking that it could use its enormous margin of conventional military power to destroy Hezbollah in last summer's Lebanon War. Both Israel and the US are nostalgic for a twentieth-century world of nation-states, which is understandable, since that is the world to which the kind of conventional power they possess is best suited.
But nostalgia has led both states to misinterpret the challenges they now face, whether by linking al-Qaida to Saddam Hussein's Iraq, or Hezbollah to Iran and Syria. This linkage does exist in the case of Hezbollah, but the networked actors have their own social roots and are not simply pawns used by regional powers. This is why the exercise of conventional power has become frustrating.
Finally, the Bush administration's use of power has lacked not only a compelling strategy or doctrine, but also simple competence. In Iraq alone, the administration misestimated the threat of WMD, failed to plan adequately for the occupation, and then proved unable to adjust quickly when things went wrong. To this day, it has dropped the ball on very straightforward operational issues in Iraq, such as funding democracy promotion efforts.
Incompetence in implementation has strategic consequences. Many of the voices that called for, and then bungled, military intervention in Iraq are now calling for war with Iran. Why should the rest of the world think that conflict with a larger and more resolute enemy would be handled any more capably?
But the fundamental problem remains the lopsided distribution of power in the international system. Any country in the same position as the US, even a democracy, would be tempted to exercise its hegemonic power with less and less restraint. America's founding fathers were motivated by a similar belief that unchecked power, even when democratically legitimated, could be dangerous, which is why they created a constitutional system of internally separated powers to limit the executive.
Such a system does not exist on a global scale today, which may explain how America got into such trouble. A smoother international distribution of power, even in a global system that is less than fully democratic, would pose fewer temptations to abandon the prudent exercise of power.
Yoshihiro Francis Fukuyama is an American philosopher, political economist, and author. He is Dean of the School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University, and Chairman of The American Interest. Fukuyama is best known as the author of The End of History and the Last Man.
Mr. Fukuiyama must know it. Greeting

Worst time in Iranian History?????

John Carpenter

I would like to nominate you as comedy writer of the day, very funny,Iran is better now b/c it has interenet, so does people in Afghanistan ( 4 times the speed in Iran). John keep up the funny work, it is refreshing to see somebody with a great sense of humor.

Grade

John,

You have an interesting "thesis" for your essay but you have to first entertain the competing hyporthesis and when done starts marshaling row after row of evidence like well organized and endless military parade before the emperor to substantiate your postion. If I were you I would limit my theoretical research to a much shorter period of time and then dig deeper into the facts to back up my claims. This way with greater concentration and focus you can spearhead an interesting grounded theory that has the potential to get a good grade by being able to rip through the counter argument that suffers from the lack of coherence, concentration, and flexibility and above all explosion.

Therefore do your best and make sure your theory is not too wishy washy that can appear as bothersome insects and bugs that need to be sprayed in order to get rid of it at no time.

Good Luck.

Worst Time in Iranian History 1925-1978

The worst time in Iranian History was from 1925 until December 31, 1978. Great things happened in January 1979. The Iranians masses evicted the barbaric dictator Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The Pahlavi dynasty was made up of a father and a son. Both Reza and Mohammad Reza were uneducated. Reza was bald and illiterate. Reza died in exile. Mohammad Reza died in Exile. They both died in Africa. Thank God that both those barbaric dictators are dead.

Since then Iran has improved.

Tehran has a subway system.

Iran has internet service.

There are tall buildings in Tehran.

The wealthy live well in Iran.

The next US President will visit Tehran and Qom to meet with Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and make peace with the Iranian people and Iranian government.

Reza Pahlavi and Maryam Rajavi, two people rejected by the Iranian masses will be angry. They will have their fists clinched to the sky and be upset that the US and Iran will have made peach with each other.

amazing lunatics

Gosh...there are so many lunatics that read Iranian.com it's just amazing. is anyone watching over you at the mental institution you're at? Do you read the ingredients on a box of cereal and start yelling about mullah's and crying about iraq? Please, do yourself a favor and take the drugs that have been prescribed for you.

Rep: Bush not allowed to attack Iran
Sat, 17 Nov 2007 22:00:00
US Representative Neil Abercrombie says President George W. Bush does not have the authority to use military action against Iran. Isnt it good for americans? because if he had and he could make use of his authority the life for americans would get even worse.
In a statement released on Friday, Abercrombie (D-Hawaii) said he has introduced a resolution to prevent the Bush Administration from using the 2002 Iraq war decree to justify military force against Iran. Hier we see the multicephal dragon. one barks the other one appeases.
"We have learned how adept the Bush administration is at interpreting and twisting language to justify military adventure. America simply cannot afford another Iraq," said Abercrombie, chairman of the Armed Services Subcommittee on Air and Land Forces.
Despite the IAEA confirming the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program on Thursday, the White House has not ruled out military option and continues to push for a third round of UN sanctions against the Islamic Republic. In order to damage the western economy.
This comes as US officials along with the international community have warned the White House that military action would trigger a devastating Iranian backlash in the Middle East and beyond.
It was said the iranian school girls and schoolboys who did want to "become something" and went to amerian school or Janedàrc or to Deutsche schule in tehran they were all bullied and laughed on and so on. after his majesty left the friends allone in tehran and went to his friend - first to sadat the egytian - the new gouvernment had only wanted that farsi language should be learned and taught. officially was said the reason why the strangers went away was that they did not want such "undemocratic" rules. Any how the nice time for devils is over. Not only in Iran. it will never come back. every person, every nation will sonn have to
work to earn the living. Because other nations do that either. Greeting.

...those were the days my

...those were the days my friend
we thought they'd never end
we'd sing and dance forever and a day
we'd live the life we choose
we'd fight and never loose
for we were young and sure to have our way....
(life as kids, way back when, these kids didn't actually know what was going on, and what was going to happen... nor did I (we) for that matter...

1978: Tehran American School

It is heart breaking to have to leave everything behind and forever leave your country because the government does not tolerate you, your civil rights, your lifestyle, your gender, or freedom. It is interesting to also learn about the experiences of those foreigners who had to suddenly leave Iran in 78. Some had lived in Iran for years, some decades. They have a good idea of what life was like in Iran before everything turned up-side-down in 79. They can also relate in some way to those Iranians who were only able to pack a few suitcases and leave friends, family, and everthing else behind.
