H.R. 1400: A recipe for war

The word “diplomatic” is derived from “diplomacy” which is the art of international mediation or negotiation for the purpose of maintaining peaceful relations. Imposing sanctions on a country to enhance diplomatic efforts is as absurd a notion as bombing to preserve peace or engaging in sexual assault to preserve virginity. >>>

Why we are so F'ed up as a nation.

Examining the crossroads of religion and politics

During this month of Ramazan and fasting and worship and introspection, I have taken it upon myself to examine one of the crossroads of religion and politics, and to think about the concept of "Amr b maroof va nahyeh az monkar", and to consider some of its preconditions. >>>

"If we can we must" Nazanin Afshin-Jam

It is time to stand up and take action. It is time for the United Nations to enforce action when International human rights laws are breached. It is time for citizens of the world to unite and say "no more". If we chose to remain silent, then we should all be held accountable to human suffering. The good news is that our voices do count for something. " -- From Nazanin Afshin-Jam's speech in Berlin September 2007 >>>

Lease End "Hold-Up"

با جنبش صلح برعلیه جنگ بکوشیم

Wish Tehran's gays prove Ahmadinejad wrong

No homosexuals in Iran.

After age 14 or so, Ahmadinejad's sexual experience has been limited to monkeys; the species he most closely feels at home with. So, because his sex partners after adolesence have been chimps and other variety of primates, he cannot relate to homosexual behavior as it exist in the U.S. >>>

Grant Bahai’s Access to Higher Education

In Iran Bahai's are being denied access to higher education. Bahai’s are a discriminated class in Iran and are often ignored by the Diaspora completely. In Iran, they have in many cases been uprooted from their homes, denied access to resources equal and on par with other Iranians, and even violently attacked strictly on the basis of their religion. >>>

Frustrate the plans of oil neo-colonialists

The marketing of Iraq's oil resources to foreign oil companies through regional authorities versus Iraq's central government sets a bad precedent for the entire region, and sets in motion forces which will lead to civil strife, regional instability, and the disintegration of national unity, as oil neo-colonialists bait resource rich regions into splitting from national unions in the hopes of carting-off those resources "on the cheap." This strategy is commonly referred to as "divide and conquer." >>>

Familiar but different

What is completely lost in all the irresponsible saber-rattling and irrational rhetoric threatening the use of force is the failure to realize that Iran of 2007 is anything remotely resembling Iraq of 2003. While the preparations are eerily familiar, the calamitous outcome of such a reckless attack will be far more devastating with dire global ramifications which will dwarf those of the current Iraqi debacle. >>>
