Blogs from IRanians, there are thousands, these are the one written in English



Here are some excerpt

Tuesday, April 11, 2006
When I read about Seymour Hersh?s latest article in New Yorker .I was so shocked when I figured out he was truly talking about using nukes against Iran. He mentioned in his article that White House was planning for a military strike sometime this spring and also alleges that this strike could include the use of tactical nuclear weapons.

Mr. Hersh pointed out that:? efforts by senior military officials to get the administration to eliminate contingency plans for the use of nuclear weapons against specific hardened targets had been "shouted down" by the Pentagon's civilian leadership.?
Are they really going to Nuke Iran? I guess places like the Natanz facility .
The major point in my view is whatever is going to be decided for Iran, the long term outcomes must be taken into consideration. I hope we don?t have second Iraq here. That would be my nightmare.
On the other hand, EU is getting more convinced by USA and Britain that Iran is taking some negative steps in many areas and it?s the time to react.So if EU comes to believe there is no other diplomatic way to reach into agreement with Iran. It may cooperate with US in imposing economical restrictions and sanctions against Iran.
I also read in Washington Post that: the Bush administration is studying options for a military strike as "part of a broader strategy of coercive diplomacy to pressure Tehran to abandon its alleged nuclear development program."That eased my fear of the war from my head a little. Some believe these are all political games to force Iran to stop development of nuclear programs.I am so puzzled. The time is running out for Iran?s government .If they don?t comply with USA and its allies. We?ll live some hell life over here in Iran.
Life would become more stressful for us.Feeling unsecured about future and wondering what will happen.

HELLO

Two weeks ago on Wednesday I had driving test. I could pass it successfully. I think about one month later I can receive my driving license. I enjoyed driving so much? perhaps some body who visited Iran before said "oh no driving is terrible and impossible in Iran ?" I know but also know how to do it carefully and meet it. Last Thursday I had M.A examination for state universities I hope to accept.
Unfortunately my uncle and my best sister-in-law's father are sick and they are in a hospital. I hope they become well soon.
It is last days of the year for us, these days every body is happy and tries to do the best for New Year. I hope I can do so, soon.

Tomorrow is the tenth of Moharam (the first month of Arabic year). About 14 centuries ago, Imam Hossein stood against the time government. And on tenth of Moharam a war between government army and Imam and his followers happened. Hossein (P.U.H) just had 72 men among his followers at the battle and the government army was more than 1000 men. They stood and struggle for their believes although the Khalife( the time governor) offered to award them best things and governing of some cities. At last at the evening of the day all the faithful men were killed but one ?Imam Sadjad- (he was sick) was alive. All their families (women and children) arrested as the prisoners of the war.


Hossein is the third children of saint Fatima (our prophet's daughter) and Ali (shia`s first Imam and the bravest and the most faithful man in Islam history who was born in Ka`be in Mecca).

On this day Shia Muslims try to hold different ceremonies to respect Hussein and his followers and talk about their beliefs and thoughts.

Pro west, Anti West, Pro Free world, everything and anything. I think before we get more and more in deep with the Politics of War that everyone can repeat but few understand we should try to read more about the people we feel so threatened by.

Do they (iranians) hate Israel? Hate western values? marsipilami asked.

In iran the only vice is heared is the regim's, what you see in tv is not the face of iranian people.I know imagining of such a thing for those who were born in a free country is difficult, but it's a fact that a small minority is speaking for all the society.
You see people in the streets shouting down with usa and israel, don't believe it! it's not the truth.
the real people are those who will get in jail and probably tortured -even killed if say why they think and by the way there is no way to expose their thoughts atall unless in weblogs as you can see today.

remember people gathered for nine eleven's victims in Mohseni sq'-tehran and gave their silence respect and simpathy to american people with their tears and candles.

Israelies and americans! my people do not hate you! don't believe the mollas' show!

Do they still believe the Shah was a puppet of the USa and Israel?
I think they do. They got used to believe that in middle east regims come and go by westerns' hands.

Or, we can learn about ourselves so that we see we are all the same.

 

[dahunan]

That is what I was trying to get at, in a more subtle way I suppose.

 

[EatSpam]

No!!!! It would be un-American to read anything. Who do these people think they are anyway? They obviously know nothing about Iran, they don't even have Fox News over there!

</neocon>

Thus begins another circle jerk. I'm sure you can find one good person out of 60 million. Does that mean they aren't a threat?

 

[RichardE]

Im sure all americans are Bible hugging, anti arab, theocratic, right winging capitalist as well if we follow there leaders of the country as the example of the people.

Sure they're a threat... to Israel. So tell me again why I, as an American, should worry?

That's pretty stupid logic. If you want us to believe that "they" are a threat (as opposed to their government being a threat), the burden of proof is on you to prove that everyone except that one good person out of 60 million is a bad guy.

Why of course. Good handicapped 60 million to one will always win. Don't tell me you didn't know that. Got any more easy questions?

Governments are usually a reflection of the majority of a nations populations.

Americans, Israelis, Canadians, Europeans, Indians etc. etc. all chose democratic secular leadership whether through war, or protest.

Thats part of the problem we are seeing in Iraq and Afghanistan. The people wanted Islamic strongmen in power.

Wow, you really know your stuff. I myself was completely unaware they wanted a Islamic strongmen in power. I guess I should get out more so I can talk to millions of people and find ways to read their minds.

Interesting...we have one of the most free democratic societies on the planet, and the actions of OUR current government barely top 50% approval rates in the best of times. While I agree that even a dictator needs a support base, I think it's a mistake to say that we can paint most, or even a majority, of the people with the same brush we use to paint their government.

Approval to invade Iraq was at 70% before we went in...now that things aren't going so great, people change their mind. However, when it did happen, people were for the war.

Perhaps if the people were told the TRUTH before the war that 70% would have been AGAINST. But, I don't suppose that thought ever crossed your mind, eh?

Iranians do not want an Islamic state. Has everyone forgotten the words of the neocons mentioned by Hersh just a couple of days ago? Bomb the regime and the people will rise up and take out the mullahs themselves? It worked so well for Iraq in 1991 and again in 2003, surely it will work in Iran, too.

Don't suppose anyone remembers this thread?

All members should ignore your posts when it comes to Iran.

You have no idea what it is you are talking about.

why is she scared?

 

[Isla]

Why do you think?

She's seen more in her 7 years than most of us could ever imagine. Sometimes she talks about what she left behind.

I know people who go to Iran all the time and come back. Click on that link in my signature and click on one of the top links.

It sounds like this girl's family was part of something that was against the govt.

Hope you used a proxy server while visiting those sites. HS come knocking on door in 3-2-1.
