			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you loyal to Iran independence and resistant to Pan-Iranism?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll tell you that I am!</p>
<p>I know that pan-Iranism has got its own supporters, and it has been moderately growing among Persian youngsters mostly but the  sad part is when pan iranism advocated by green movement leaders to penetrate the society to gain the state power!! Last night I got the chance to overview the urge behind this green color,  finally I remembered why I can&#8217;t accept that this green was the sacred religious one, but it has been inspired with the green background color of pan-Iranists symbol.</p>
<p>In my point of view most of people who are sympathetic to pan-iranism are after new territorial order, however most of pan iraninists depend on foreigners solidarity, mostly western elites. They ignore the fact that foreign support wont come until they sacrifice their  independent political identity, which is happening now for pan iranist greeners.</p>
<p>We should understand that there are different tribes and ethnics living in Iran and historically Pan Iranism never stopped the chronic infighting between kurds, Turks (Azeri Iranians), or Arab and ajam in Iran but as we see one strong state power with Islamic identity united them all within Iran.</p>
<p>Pan Iranism is nothing but a conflict point which increases the sense of differences between Iranians. You would sense the feeling of racial inequality by even a glimpse at  their symbol.</p>
<p>Nonetheless developing a national identity is not bad if we know our real nation-wide identity!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week, I found a piece of paper from &#8220;Green movement&#8221; announcing their next gathering on November 4th, inviting people to protest against <a href="http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/brmiddleeastnafricara/639.php?lb=brme&amp;pnt=639&amp;nid=&amp;id=">the democratic elected president </a>, obviously the Iranian nation in the course of the last June post election events realized that a small group wanted to colonize Iran in the name of &#8220;green freedom&#8221;.<br />
In fact, Mr. Ahmadinejad and his group&#8217;s hard works and their great achievements in rural areas were Iranians&#8217; determination to re-elect him.</p>
<p>Contrary to what Mr. Mousavi and Sheikh Karrubbi claim as reformists, Ahmadinejad is the real reformist,<br />
After the post election events we have witnessed that some political groups have been formed aiming at destroying Iran but none of the left party members rejected their integration with green movement so far, I am still waiting for them to speak out against <a href="http://www.cicweb.ca/events/CrisisIran/">the zionist claim of solidarity with iranian protesters</a> which is absurd.</p>
<p>If you follow the above link , CIC (Canada -Israel committee) held the conference on 27th of October to mobilize political action against human right abuses of the Iranian regime and nuclear agenda, Most of the conference participants were zionist and Israeli politicians, legal figures and military experts including former Israeli vice consul in Toronto , Irwin Cotler(MP and lawyer) Kenneth Timmerman(Publisher of a book called honor killing ) Noam katz(Israeli Minister for public diplomacy in wahsington DC and Shimon Fogel &#8230;. and finally among all those zionists there were 2 so called iranians Nazanin Afshin jam and sayeh Hassan, who represent pro monarchist and pro israeli stances, I think any one with healthy state of mind can recognize simply untrue political stances of these so called Iranians in diaspora.</p>
<p>So the question is : what is the motives behind the zionist concerns for the Iranians protesters?<br />
Such conferences are part of the moral show -off of zionists who already requested for military intervention in and economically starvation of Iran. Indeed this is a total hypocrisy of the west,as a matter of fact their support of Iranian protesters is deeply rooted in the supporting Israel .<br />
Therefore we should ask from the west and Canadians that why Iranians can protest against their regime but Palestinians shouldn&#8217;t resist Israel&#8217;s oppression??</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Iran submitted its proposal package to P5+1 yesterday on Wednesday providing   opportunities  to have a new round of  negotiation over  the Iranian nuclear conflict  but  in my point of view  disregarding  Iran&#8217;s offers west keeps insisting on  their failed  policy of pressuring Iran to give up  its  right to have a peaceful nuclear program. western powers  neglect  Israeli nuclear  weapon which is the biggest threat to the region, in fact Israel is trying to reinforce  Israel&#8217;s view that Iran is dangerous to the world &#8216;s peace, they  want to push west to move one step forward in order to attack Iran.</p>
<p>As a matter of fact even Egypt  says that nuclear armed Israel is more dangerous than Iran, because Israel is the only country having  nuclear weapons in Mid east. Although Iran is not after nuclear weapon at all but from strictly  realistic point of view we may need bi polar system   to secure peace in the region, just like what we faced in cold war era,<br />
I don&#8217;t advocate  starting a nuclear race  in the region  but  as long as Israel is  refusing to  join NPT and  using nuclear weapon as means of  deterrent punishment for whoever  Israel considers as potential enemy, to create bi-polar middle east may be inevitable.</p>
<p>More over  we should bear in mind that Israel  is acting more preemptively  than any other country in the region, we have seen Israelis always strike first  against  whoever they don&#8217;t like, Israel uses gun in  bare handed fights, and they are holding their guns  to the head of every country in the Middle East.</p>
<p>If Israel can follow &#8221; if you try to throw us stone, we will kill millions of your people&#8221;  why then not other countries can  have such policy?  If it is  means of self defense why then not let  Iran have such means of self defense?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Peace be upon you O son of the messenger of Allah, peace be upon you O son of fatimah zahra the beloved daughter of the prophet PBUH! Peace be upon you O son of Ali the door of the city of knowledge and the commander of faithfuls! Peace be upon you O dearest inmate of Allah, Peace be upon you the sincere friend of Allah, peace be upon you o &#8221; the way&#8221; unto Allah ! peace be upon you O meaning and demonstration of the commands of Allah ! peace be upon you the rightly guided guide!</p>
<p>Imam hasan Mujtaba (as) was born in the 15th of Ramadan,<br />
he was the second Imam , Hasan and Hussein were 2 sons of Amir al mumenin Ali (as) and Fatima zahra the daughter of the prophet Muhammad PBUH, prophet Muhammad PBUH said many times &#8221; Hasan and Hussain are my children.&#8221;<br />
During his imamat, Muawiyeh who was the enemy of ali and his family had fought for taking the caliphate, he marched to Iraq the imam hasan&#8217;s place of khilafah , war continued between muawiyeh and Imam Hasan during which he corrupted the commanders of Imam hasan army and bribed them with the great sum of money and false promises, corrupted generals rebelled against Imam hasan and finally imam hasan was forced to make a peace treaty with Muawiyeh to surrender khilfah to muawiyeh under one condition that the khilafah would be returned to Imam hasan after muawiyeh&#8217;s death, but Muawiyeh was not faithful to the treaty and right after getting what he wanted he started to talk about his son&#8217;s yazid khilafatship , he also jailed and tortured Imam hasan&#8217;s family members and his companions&#8230;..even Imam hasan lived in hardship and was under house arrest &#8230;.</p>
<p>No wonder Muawiyeh offered imam hasan peace treaty and accepted Imam Hasan&#8217;s conditions so that he could get what he wanted, the government!</p>
<p>Imam hasan made Muawiyeh to bind to his conditions which needless to say he broke them later one by one, some may say this peace treaty was a great loss for imam hasan and muawiyeh won the battle , but this peace treaty was a victory for Imam hasan , it was a political plan to destroy this Umayad family, the peace treaty was a beginning of a great and successful revolution to show the ugly face of Umayad tyrants. Imam hasan peace with Muawiyeh is as revolutionary as Imam hussain&#8217;s uprising against Yazeed, imam hasan&#8217;s preventing bloodshed was as influential as Imam hussian&#8217;s blood in Ashura. Imam hasan peacemaking was different than Muawiyeh&#8217;s urge for peace, Muawiyeh&#8217;s peace making was not religious and breaking the conditions of the treaty was enough of muawiyeh dishonor , Muawiyeh wanted to achieve his ambition of controlling islamic countries, he was only an opportunist and he had the old grudge of sufyan family against the prophet PBUH and his family, he wanted governing of the whole islamic region to establish his kingdom over the ummah which he gave everything to have it. Muawiyeh took an oath but he subverted the covenant he made. with the peace treaty Imam hasan&#8217;s right to authority was clear to all but Muawiyeh took the authority with a trick and had to keep Imam hasan silent.</p>
<p>In my opinion Obama wants to act like muawiyeh , for example USA bribe arabic governments (do you remember the visit of Obama to middle east and his speech in Cairo university!), Obama and Arab governors force their people to ignore the real Islamic figures, their policy is to make Muslim authorities to gather a group of ignorant Muslims to fight against other muslims , for example making the AL qeada network(USA&#8217;s tool) , this is fighting islam within Islam, USA&#8217;s policy is ignorance policy just like Muawiyeh&#8217;s..but unfortunately we lack Imam hasan here, we do have muawiyeh of our time but sigh&#8230;who can act as wise as imam Hasan to prevent bloodshed of muslims in such wise way binding them to our conditions ..although we already knew muawiyeh look alike would break their oaths and follow their unlawful way, right now in Iran for example Obama claims he offered peace to Iran but Iran chose war!! (referring to nuclear issue),he says that USA offered life to Iran but they Iran chose death! ..Obama &#8216;s policy is all revolving<br />
around false praise (praising a few countries like Egypt Jordan and so on ) and fake slander ( slandering Iran)!&#8230;such a false justice just like muawieyh&#8217;s justice&#8230; but I am sure Obama like Bush would make a false history as muawiyeh did.</p>
<p>The  horrors of US empire  is going on unabated, in addition  Obama is worsening it , Obama does not only  want to finish this ongoing war on error but also he thinks he can fight this war better, for example he has opened the new frontier in pakistan attacking civilians   and now he has given an ultimatum to Iran. Obama is much more active in misinforming and misleading  even his own people atop of the world (again just like what Muawiyeh did), as you may know Obama has been called messiah  of course by  the help of none but  corporate media  to show such a clean face of Obama to the world as  world saviour under the  continuous blood sucking  policy. Unfortunately  what we see from the USA republican and democrats are  De facto  one party system  with the aim of exploiting  people more and more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ahmadinejad has introduced new era for Iran by nominating three women for top ministerial positions, his choice of three females for cabinet posts can be interpreted either as a deceitful act to compensate for post election events or as a sign of government attention to the large portion of Iranian population , women! These three potential female ministers can be a great move in respect to woman&#8217;s right in Iran,<br />
in an instant comparison between Khatami (the reformist president) who limited himself to give one sub ministerial post for a woman, Ahmadinejad&#8217;s decision to choose three female ministers is Bold and beautiful decision , Although Ahmadinejad will have to face with parliament to win  his historic decision of nomination females for ministerial position.<br />
The tree potential ministers are:<br />
1- fatemeh Ajorloo, minister of social welfare<br />
2- Marziyeh wahid dastjerdi , minister of health and medical education<br />
3- Susan keshavarz, minister of Education</p>
<p>fateme Ajorloo would have the opportunity to support civil rights of women  , Dastjerdi can address the women health top preferences which needs female friendly faces, and keshavarz who holds PHD in philosophy of education is one of the young faces who is unknown to most Iranians including me!</p>
<p>in my opinion even if Ahmadinejad&#8217;s female nominees cant get the parliament approval , Ahmadinejad&#8217;s choice of nominating three women ministers will be ranked as the first mature act at elevating formal position of women in the government within Iran&#8217;s history where the reformists failed at doing so, so here Ahmadi nejad proved that he is capable of reforms , in addition Ahmadinejad defeated his opponents by such a deft reaction to clear his anti reform image portrayed by his opponents.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Learning from the past historical moments helps us to turn crisis into an opportunity, to secure our society socially politically and economically from domestic to international levels.</p>
<p>Iran is now undergoing post election events , Although Iran&#8217;s post election atmosphere seems to be cool but there are still parties inside the country are unrest influenced by western intruders trying to stir the situation to save their disruptive reputation.<br />
There are significant transition points in Iran post revolution era. the first decade we tried to fix socio-political instability crisis and on the other hand dealing with Iran-Iraq war burden on Iranians&#8217; shoulders. This period started from 1979 and ended in 1989 with the death of Ayatullah khomeini.</p>
<p>After 1989Iran entered into the second period with loads of economical crisis, so new government came to the power with a new slogan &#8220;restructure of economy&#8221; but ignoring developing other social needs of new generation, I personally think that even general economic liberalization failed to some extent.</p>
<p>Here, I am not trying to underestimate their effort of reconstitution of Iran&#8217;s economic pillars. Iranians are all well aware of problems like tough international sanctions , wars and etc, hence such slight developments could be considered as economic growth, Although their effort was limited and didn&#8217;t have consistency , privatization process was revolving around the small circle of some politicians and their families only.</p>
<p>from 1997 people felt they needed to some new faces with new beautiful slogans such as reform promises, what we gained was nothing actually , reformist government ignored the economic development instead they involved in political arguments, in my eyes it was another failure of elites.</p>
<p>reviewing the said 3 phases we can see that Iran were mostly under lefties and some semi conservative claiming as progressives tottering to the lefties satisfying their self interests, during the first decade the sever antagonism towards capitalism and privatization caused reduction in productivity and weakening the economy, in the next periods governments failed at acting upon their promises such as reduction of subsidiaries and privatization of nationalized enterprises etc and etc&#8230;</p>
<p>In 2005 , Iranians felt for a real reform something different than reformists and voted for Ahmadinejad , a new face with new promises, Iranians saw him as a tough critic of past governments how ever politicians have never been really trust worthy,but Iranians preferred t o revive their hopes for brighter future with him. He was able to earn Iranian mobs respect , some might reject the idea but we can not ignore the truth,and now again they re-elected him waiting for the justice he has promised them to receive, right now if we want the system to survive , if we want to be in the right track of economic changes, if we want to save our culture, if we want to have political reforms , we need to stick to history lessons , the victory is in turning crisis into the opportunity</p>
