 <title>Iran: Who Is Afraid of Relations with the US?</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/diba/iran-who-afraid-relations-us</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;By: Bahman Aghai Diba &lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;It is not difficult for any Iranian to see why Iran’s national interests and the public good call for the immediate restoration and expansion of ties with the United States. To cite only some of the things that relations with the USA may bring for Iran, I could refer to: 
&lt;p&gt;1- Disengaging Iran from senseless hostilities with the most important country in the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/diba/iran-who-afraid-relations-us&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Why do the Russians not want to see any change in Iran?</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/diba/why-do-russians-not-want-see-any-change-iran</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bahman Aghai Diba&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
According to many reports (1), Russia is opposed to any efforts to promote a change of regime in Iran. At the same time, the Iranian regime has welcomed the Russian position and described it as “positive.” (2).

&lt;p&gt;
They kill ambassadors.  They murder the POWs.  They kill those who are wounded in war. They sent the most beautiful girls of their cities to top of a mountain to be gang raped by the ugliest lepers and while the poor girls start hallucination out of misery and pain, the lepers pretend that the “oracle” is speaking through them. They separate children forcefully from their mothers and teach them to be ruthless and illogical killing machines that enjoy being blood thirsty animals.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Who are these barbarians?

 <title>Iran’s Evin Prison and Its Butcher, Asadollah Lajevardi</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/diba/iran-s-evin-prison-and-its-butcher-asadollah-lajevardi</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;By Bahman Aghai Diba
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Evin was originally a village in the suburbs of Tehran. The entire village apparently belonged to Sayed Ziaeddin Tabatabai, the first Prime Minister of Iran after the 1921 coup d’état of Reza Khan, who later assumed the throne as Reza Shah. Thus, many parts of Evin bore the name of Sayed Ziaeddin Tabatabai.

 <title>De-Arabization of Iran: a Mission for all Iranians</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Bahman Aghai Diba
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Iranians are not Arabs. The people of Iran do not care what is happening in Palestine.  Even if they do, their feeling is in the same level as they care for the “Chechens in Russia”.   Arabs look at Iran as another Israel.  They do not see Iranians as Muslims.

 <title>Iran’s Ameneh pardons but I don’t</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/diba/iran-s-ameneh-pardons-i-don-t</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Ameneh Bahrami , The Iranian lady that was seriously disfigured by a dirty criminal, who throw acid to her body, has pardoned him and stopped the Iranian court from doing the same to him. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;P&gt; I respect the greatness of this lady’s personality and I wish every success for her and I am even ready to contribute to a fund that should be established in her name.  However, I would like register my view as an observer, that I do not forgive the criminal, who acted in this way. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/diba/iran-s-ameneh-pardons-i-don-t&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Tazir: the Islamic Torture in Iran </title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/diba/tazir-islamic-torture-iran</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Torture has close relationship with ideological zealotry. In the justice system of the Islamic Republic of Iran, a special word has been chosen to replace “Shekangheh” (the Persian word for torture) with the Arabic word of “Tazir”. This is not a simple change of words. The initiative to put Tazir in the place of shekanjeh meaning torture has serious and important implications for the IRI judicial system and the people who appear before the court. &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Role of Hidden Imam in History and Islamic Republic</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/diba/role-hidden-imam-history-and-islamic-republic</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;By: Bahman Aghai Diba, PhD International law
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The notion of the Hidden Imam (Islamic Messiah) has a central role in the Islamic Shiite thoughts. There are countless references to the Hidden Imam in the Shiite books. However, following the victory of the so-called Islamic Revolution in Iran (or hijacking of the Iranian revolution by the Mullahs), in 1979, the references to the Hidden Imam has gained new importance. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/diba/role-hidden-imam-history-and-islamic-republic&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
