Articles in English June 23, 2005 Summary: So far, the Bush administration has shown it would like to resolve its problems with North Korea and Iran the same way it did with Iraq: through regime change. It is easy to see why. But the strategy is unlikely to work, at least not quickly enough. A much broader approach -- involving talks, sanctions, and the threat of force -- is needed. Purgatory
or Hell, That is the Question
Many Iranian voters have boycotted the presidential election. Many others are going to the polls on Friday to vote for someone they know is dishonest in order to avoid someone they know is going to turn their lives into a living nightmare. Sham
election in Iran
Once again, we are at the crossroads of making another vital decision about our country, Today, we are marching for the support of the voiceless students and the Iranian people in Iran. Today, we categorically and adamantly refuse to participate in this sham "selection." IRAN'S
ELECTION: The Lesser of 1000 Evils AN AMERICAN BILLIONAIRE MULLAH FOOLS THE IRANIAN WITH HUMBLE TALKS BUT MUST DECLARE WHERE HIS MAFIA GOT THEIR BILLIONS OF FORTUNE? In June 17,2005 Iranians are going to poll to elect a president in an election which can hardly be called democratic. For propaganda reasons, and in order to provide a cover for its dwindling legitimacy, from the list of over one thousands applicants for the job, which includes an American Joker, Iranians would "elect" a president. The list have been narrowed down to a dozen who are considered no threat to the security of Mullahs rule on Iran. Crisis of legitimacy for the mullahs By: Amil Imani In recent years, the US State Department

Kazemi's
Murder Exposes Iran's Brutality
It was journalist Ziba (Zahra) Kazemi's fourth interrogation, which was orchestrated in a bright room in the presence of about six revolutionary guards and militia torturers, and Tehran's chief prosecutor. Give
young Iranians the tools to bring down the mullahs
You might have the impression that Ivy League "neoconservatives" wearing pinstripe suits inside the wonky think tanks in Washington, D.C., are currently plotting the overthrow of the mullahs running Iran. They and their hawkish Pentagon pals have checked the box next to Iraq on their to-do list (now that elections have happened), and are strategizing the best way to take down the tyranny in Iran. (Then we'll move on to Syria, and get ready for the draft, folks, we're fixing the world!) By H Hakimi Memoirs of a Career Diplomat in the service of the Iranian Foreign Office Adverse propaganda
of the world mass media about our country.
My nephew, whom I introduced to The Iranian a few years ago, wrote to me after reading the vitriolic attack on Cyrus Kadivar and his article 'we are awake'. He urged me to put down one particular episode in my career as a diplomat which I had told him about years before. He thought it might do some good as another anecdotal evidence of the animosity towards Iranian culture and history. The
Shah and the Wheelman Sent by: D.K.
Always on the lookout for something to please the Shah, the news of my arrival in Tehran on the bicycle no sooner reaches the ear of the court officials than the monarch hears of it himself. On the seventh day after my arrival an officer of the palace calls on behalf of the Shah, and requests that I favour them all, by following the soldiers who will be sent tomorrow morning, at eight o'clock, Ferenghi time, to conduct me to the palace, where it is appointed that I am to meet the 'Shah-in-shah and King of kings', and ride with him, on the bicycle, to his summer palace at Doshan Tepe. A Summer of A Thousand Nights: From Tehran to Susa My 1976 Diary in Tehran By: Mark Dankof
I am awakened in the late hours
of this June night by a most comfortable breeze, blowing through the
screen which separates my bedroom from the elevated balcony terrace.
The breeze seems as perpetual as the darkness, permeated and illumined
by moonlight. I have never felt a breeze this comfortable, even as a
boy traveling and sleeping in the deserts of California by night. It
enters my mind that this must be the reason for the Hebrew word ruah
and the Greek word pneuma, both of which appear in the Scripture and
are simultaneously employed for the dual concepts of physical wind in
the cosmos, and the Spirit of God in the realm of the unseen. by: Soheila Ghodstinat Second Edition
