Of course after celebrating the achievements of the second one who has done such a magnificent job for the past 2 decades, defending Iran's INDEPENDENCE, and (ensha-Allah) bringing our NATION to its rightful position in the Muslim World, a position it had not enjoyed for the past 2,3 Centuries???<BR/><BR/>http://www.khatami.ir/fa/photo/85/612.html<BR/><BR/>Is this NOT the man who can ensure Iranian people's FREEDOM, and uphold the promise of Iran's Islamic Democracy as envisioned by IRI's Founding Fathers???!!!<BR/><BR/>http://www.khatami.ir/fa/photo/85/613.html<BR/><BR/>Come on people, why be so shy??? why not talk about it in public? why not lobby for it in front of the "wise men" of the Assembly of Experts?!!!! I'm sure Ayatollah Khamenei wouldn't mind retiring after he succeeds as a National Hero in ensuring that total political INDEPENDENCE for Iran, and as a Shiite Islamic Leader in finishing his "hojjat" of helping the Palestinians get their INDEPENDENT state!<BR/><BR/>http://www.khatami.ir/fa/photo/85/614.html<BR/><BR/>So, why feel intimidated to say it out loud??? After all, a REPUBLIC is not supposed to have ANY "maadaam-ol-omr" lifelong positions for ANYBODY, including its Commander in Chief!<BR/>Let's start getting the Bassiji and IRGC people warm up to the idea of a future Ayatollah Khatami as their commander! Let's do the MOST "expedient" thing for IRI, and sacrifice "khodi" ego for "khoda" God!<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>p.s. please don't censor this Dr. Ebtekar, I'm just ONE lone voice, who cares what I say??? I have a feeling Ayatollah Khamenei won't be angry at me for saying such a thing, b/c it means I see him as much more selfless and spiritual than most expats do! I'm sure he's cool with me calling for his retirement so often! I just think IRI needs a 21st Century face-lift and for that it needs a Changing of the Guards! that's all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029569143393348400.post-35385476559856756962008-12-24T00:34:00.000+03:302008-12-24T00:34:00.000+03:30I just read this article and it made me feel even ...I just read this article and it made me feel even more OPTIMISTIC than I usually am, which is saying something!!!<BR/><BR/>http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/12/23/news/ML-Arabs-Iran.php<BR/><BR/><BR/>Go for it Iran, I hope you will say YES!!!<BR/><BR/>Just remember IRI, this is Egypt talking, the peers and equals of us Persians when it comes to contributing to the Islamic Civilization, Thought, and Culture! This is the descendants of Ibn-Khaldoon who defended us in front of the ignorant, racist, common Arab man who called us "ajam", those who dared to take credit for OUR Ibn-Sina, OUR Byrooni, OUR Khawarizmi, OUR Ghazzali, OUR Razi, and ...! This is NOT the "enemy", this is our brothers in Humanity AND in Religion, just as Imam Ali said! <BR/><BR/>The "enemy" tried to show the astray al-Qaeda and the infidel Taliban as the face of Islam, NOW this is OUR chance, to get together with OUR civilized brothers and sisters from the Islamic Golden Age (i.e., the Egyptians, the Turks, the Phoenicians, ...) and to reclaim OUR beloved Islam back from the fanatic fundamentalists and terrorists who have taken OUR Prophet Mohammad's teachings and OUR Holly Quran as hostage for the past few decades! This is Islam's CHANCE for a Rebirth or a RENAISSANCE, and WE MUST be not only included, but we owe it to our ancestors like Imam Mohammad Ghazzali and Avecina and Razi and Attar and Hallaj and Mowlana and Khayyam and Khawarazmi and ... to be the most important part of it, the producer of MOST Thought, the defender of MOST Justice, and the speaker of MOST Rationality! <BR/><BR/>Go for it Iran!

I love God, God is forgiving, and all my life, I have always believed that we are here to try to be like God! ... a friend sent me this poem, and I think by doing so she meant to tell me what she thinks of me, and I LOVE her for it:<BR/><BR/>که شکیبد ز تو ای جان که جگرگوشه جانی چه تفکر کند از مکر و ز دستان که ندانی<BR/><BR/>نه درونی نه برونی که از این هر دو فزونی نه ز شیری نه ز خونی نه از اینی نه از آنی<BR/><BR/>برود فکرت جادو نهدت دام به هر سو تو همه دام و فنش را به یکی فن بدرانی<BR/><BR/>چه بود باطن کبکی که دل باز نداند چه حبوب است زمین در که ز چرخ است نهانی<BR/><BR/>کلهش بنهی وآنگه فکنی باز به سیلی چه کند بره مسکین چو کند شیر شبانی<BR/><BR/>کله و تاج سرم را پی سیلی تو باید که مرا تاج تویی و جز تو جمله گرانی<BR/><BR/>به کجا اسب دواند به کجا رخت کشاند ز تو چون جان بجهاند که تو صد جان جهانی<BR/><BR/>به چه نقصان نگرندت به چه عیبی شکنندت به کی مانند کنندت که به مخلوق نمانی<BR/><BR/>به ملاقات نشان ده ز خیالات امان ده مکشش زود زمان ده که تو قسام زمانی<BR/><BR/>هله ای جان گشاده قدم صدق نهاده همه از پای فتاده تو خوش و دست زنانی<BR/><BR/>شه و شاهین جلالی که چنین باپر و بالی نه گمانی نه خیالی همه عینی و عیانی<BR/><BR/>چه بود طبع و رموزش به یکی شعله بسوزش به یکی تیر بدوزش که بسی سخته کمانی<BR/><BR/>هله بر قوس بنه زه ز کمینگاه برون جه برهان خویش از این ده که تو زان شهر کلانی<BR/><BR/>چو همه خانه دل را بگرفت آتش بالا بود اظهار زبانه به از اظهار زبانیAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029569143393348400.post-58812384521711386222008-12-21T18:47:00.000+03:302008-12-21T18:47:00.000+03:30SHAME on IRI for this:http://www.google.com/hosted...SHAME on IRI for this:<BR/><BR/>http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jySGd65eGFS5DcROjhUwN19GFmYQ<BR/><BR/>Iran needs a "Shoe Intifada" against those who advocate barbarianism in the land of a 2500 year old civilization!<BR/><BR/>SHAME ON IMPOSTORS!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
