Fariba jan, you defeated purpose of your blog

by referring so many times to AN as Mr. president. In your blog, you wrote:"

Mr. President, you took our people’s votes, you trampled on them, you ridiculed us and you disgraced the nation of Iran. But the world saw a different Iran, an anguished and injured Iran but also a courageous and absolutely resolute Iran."

so it looks like you are saying that even though AN took the votes and disgraced Iran but we still accept him as President. Your blog would be much more powerful, if you refer to him as Ahmadinejad.  It is this mentality of us Iranians to keep respecting people who don't respect us that is self defeating.

Ms. Amini what's the story behind the 2005 photo?

It's very interesting.  Was Larijani the nuke negotiator at the time? 

Everything is sacred

Dear Mr Davoodi `

I share your sentiments and understand where you stand on this topic, which is very close to my stance. But I wrote my comment based on your initial comment in which you had objected to Presidential status of Ahmadinejad, not from an administrative point of view but from a moralistic one.This is why I brought examples of equally immoral leaders who enjoyed and continue to enjoy the much coveted title. Although you are generally correct in defining the role of the President as the chief administrative officer, there are exceptions to this rule too. The Italian and German presidents hold much less executve powers than their Prime Minister or Chancellor, respectively.

Why Not President...?

Dear Ms. Rusta, you state:"the recent past Saddam Hussien  (Iraq), Idi Amin (Uganda), Hafiz Al Asad (Syria), Pinochet (Chile), Somoza (Nicaragua), Kim Sung Il (North Korea), Ceausescu (Romania) and many more abusers of human rights particulary from the Soviet bloc as well as the south American dictatorships were honored with the accolade. Are these very different from Ahmadinejad? "

To answer your question first let me remind you of what the term "President" means. By definitioin a "President" is: The "chief officer" of a branch of government, corporation, board of trustees, university, or similar body.

Keeping that definition of "Presidency" in mind, and to answer your question of whether Ahmadinejad is different than these other dictators such as Pinoche or Saddam Hossein, etc,  in a sense YES they are different for all these other abusers of human rights and dictators they have all been the sole chief officer of their respective terror organization, hence because of their position they have been referred to as the "President". 

In case of Ahmadinejad, he is just a low life thug with no power and no control over anything. He is just a puppet of the mullahs who have put him the mouth piece of their terror organization (namely the Islamic Republic). Hence referring to Ahmadinejad as "The president" is not only NOT proper, but in fact an insault to all other low lives in your list of dictators. Ahmadinejad is just a mouth piece, and a low life executor of the dirty work that the mullahs direct him to do.

Now if you want to refer to Khamenei and the other chief thugs in the doomed Islamic Regime as "President"... that I can understand because Khamenei could be considered as the chief thug in the same class as Hitler, Saddam Hossein, Idi Amin, and these other low life animals with the self-claimed presidency title.

But and again to stress as far as Ahmadinejad, he is just a low life thug - nothing more, nothing less.

Why not President?

What is so sacred or special about the title of President that some suggest Ahmadinejad is not entitled to? In the recent past Saddam Hussien  (Iraq), Idi Amin (Uganda), Hafiz Al Asad (Syria), Pinochet (Chile), Somoza (Nicaragua), Kim Sung Il (North Korea), Ceausescu (Romania) and many more abusers of human rights particulary from the Soviet bloc as well as the south American dictatorships were honored with the accolade. Presently, we have  Gaddafi (Libya), Kim Jong-Il (North Korea), Mugabe (Zimbabwe) and Omar-ol Bashir (Sudan). Are these very different from Ahmadinejad?

Why Do you refer to a "thug" as "President"?

My question to you Dear Ms. Amini is why you refer to Ahmadinejad as "Mr. President"?  At best you could refer to him as "Mr. Ahmadinejad" and at worst simply "Mr. thug".

He is nothing but a thug - nothing more, nothing less. He maybe the president of thugs, but by universal standards calling someone as "Mr. President" implies that person does represent the majority of people who participated in a free political election. While your entire article does stress (and implies) on the fact that this thug (i.e. Ahmadinejad) is anything but a representative of the Iranian people, yet by elevating him through addressing him as Mr. President is simply beyond me and in a way defeats the entire purpose of your article.

Well said! 

"President" yes. President no. Like Egypt's President "for life"

Everything is sacred.

President yes, elected not

Iranians will be waiting for Ahmadinejad in New York and showing him a good time. Nobody can censor the words said to him in New York or keep the world from knowing just what we think of him.  Mahmoud Ahmadinejad may have become Iran's president through cheating, but let's let nobody forget:  He is not Iran's "elected" President.

JJJ suggest advertising NYC rallies on front page Timing is best

Everything is sacred.

Thank you for the clarification

Dear Irandokht,

I am not in the business of censoring my own articles or comments!! As JJ said I write articles not blogs.  The last one was A Place called Evin.

Thanks.

This blog has the info for next week's rallies at NYC.

He is not president of Iran. He was appointed by khamenie and Sepah-e-pasdaran. where can I find information about the time and location of protest against this skank in NYC?

باید رفت و کم ابرویی که این مرد خبیث دارد را برد ! باید این مرد و حکومت اسلامی و آخوند را لعنت کرد و نفرین کرد بر کسانی‌ که از این‌ها طرفداری میکنند.

هر کسی‌ که از این آدم کش‌ها طرفداری می‌کند،الهی سرطان بگیرد و در تنهایی بمیرد !

نه چین و نه روسیه،نه اسلام و نه مذهب.نه شاه و کمونیست و نه آخوند... فقط جمهوری ایرانی‌

Proof beyond a shadow of doubt ---> Ahmadi rants = AIPAC dance!

Mr President!

Please forgive Ms Amini for not providing you with a Farsi translation. It is assumed that your interpreter/translator, Hooman Majd is already on the job. But wait a minute, Hooman is a relative of Khatami so he no longer is your translator!

Ms Amini, translation please.

Hi Irandokht

Fariba has primarily written articles, not blogs:

Dear Ms Amini

Where are your older blogs? I recall seeing many blogs from you on this site, but none exists anymore. Why are you deleting them all along with all the discussions and comments?  I am just curious.

Thanks
