In my last posting I wrote that I would summaries whole the book, but last night when I was reading the book I felt it is too much and too hard, so I decided not even to start writing what was the content of the book. Any way I tell you my over all opinion of the book and what I think. The writer goes on to say "Yes it is true that the 1953 coup was an American coup, but America was a friend of

All the Shah's men is a name of the book that I recently read. The book is written by an American author about the coup in Iran in August 1953 against Dr Mossadegh. I can guess that almost every one knows what has happened during that time, but how many people know who did what in thoese days. The book is witten based on the secrets information which was found from the CIA after 50 years. In

Some days ago I was talking to one of my english friends who is a teacher at University. He told me some thing about Iran, that I as an Iranian didn't know that. He said that the number of women in Parlimant in Iran is more than the number of women in england and USA. I was thinking for while, maybe what he said was correct but do the women in Iran's Majles have the power to influnce the low?

I was reading one Iranian magazine which is published by one of the Islamic regime opposition outside Iran. In the first page there was a picture of "Dr Mossadegh"(who was the Iran Prime minister in 1952 and died later). I was told that some opposition groups use Mossadegh as their leader and symbol. I am sure that every Iranian have heard about Mossadegh's name, but I don't know how many

"Iraq abuse came from US policy" it was the title in BBC news page. Almost a month a go when one of the American was beheaded, there was special news program on channel 5 (in England) regarding how Iraqis executed their hostage. In the program there was an Arab journalist who said: if Iraqis do such things, it is because they are uncivilized and barbaric, but you are civilized so how you

When there was a war between Iran and Iraq, all the world support Iraq's occupation on Iran. Countries like Russia, America, Germany and many more had sold lots of weapons of mass destruction to Iraqi regime to use against Iran, by that time all the Arabs country around Iran support Iraq as well. The only country that helped Iran was Israel that sold some weapons to Iran to defend themselves

A few days ago I watch a movie called "Marmolak" which was great. I think the movie is a absolute humiliation for mullah as it brings some true facts into picture. For instance it explains that how powerful can a person be if he wears a mullah dress doesn't matter how stupid they are. It shows that how mullah can makes rule instantly for their own benefit. In the movie the actor said a

With respect to all Arabs. When first Islam was introduced by Mohammed in Saudi Arabia almost 1400 years a go, Arabs used to bury their new bourn girls because of some reasons, they used to worship Stone and other things except God, they use to sell people and use them in any way they want, women was totally under control of men. Then Mohammed was chosen by God as a messenger to tell people

A few month ago I read an article in an Iranian newspaper. In that president Khatami said that in Iran secular government is not possible, we (government) must not take the religion out of our politic system. Some days ago I was watching an Iranian movie, in one part of the movie there was Mr Khatami's first days speech when he become a president. He was talking about freedom, he said that

It has been 25 years since Ayatollah Khomeini and his fellow took the power and massacre prisoners and innocent people under made up Islamic low. There is a demonstration opposite Iranian embassy on the 11th February (Wednesday) at 1pm in Princess Gate, High street, Kensington, London SW7. The nearest metro stations are: Knightsbridge or South Kensington or High street Kensington. Also buses

The French government propose to ban headscarf in school. The BBC said: "Some Muslims agree with the ban. but others say wearing the headscarf should be allowed under religious freedom." I think regardless of religion and what Quran says every one should has right to wear what they like, here we are talking about European countries (France) where you can have freedom and where human rights is

Even news papers in England write about the current complex situation in Iran over the disqualifying reformist by the unelected guardian Council. In BBC this was regarded as a new problem in Iran, but I think it has been a problem in Iran for years, but it's seen as a problem this time as more people, specially young and students are getting more and more involve in politic, now they can see

President Khatami in his speech over the earthquake said that we welcome and accept all helps from every country except Israel. I don't know why? But if Israel or any other countries would like to help, Iran should be thankful, regardless of their nationality. Help is help and there is nothing wrong. Now situation for people in Bam who have no shelter in a freezing condition is emergency and

I think all people around the world have heard about the earthquake in Bam, Iran. What a tragedy! Pictures of dead people and historical city, what a sad images! More than 90% of the city was damaged and more than 30000 people died, more than halve due to lack of help provided by government. I don't know what government was doing? Mr Khatami was busy in Tehran with some International meeting

This week the capture of Saddam Hussein was the title of every newspaper. The first news came out when the American presenter in Iraq said: "ladies and gentleman we got him" and then they show those humiliating picture of him. It was indeed very good news for all people specially Iraqi people. A day after his capture "itv" which is an English channel interviewed an Iraqi man who owns a shop in

Yesterday in one of the very first page of a newspaper there was a news about the winner of the peace Nobel, who was an Iranian woman (Sherin Ebadi). The news was two small columns and it started with writing about her and what she said during the ceremony. She criticized West and U.S that they breach other people human rights under democracy. Yes,she was right but the West and US didn't

This is a good question but the answer would be depend on where you live. Is it going to be a same answer if you live in Iran or England? I personally don't think so, though I believe a country would benefit if the people of that country know what is going on in their country. In Iran people don't have this right as the government want to keep everything as secrete as possible. But in England

There was a program about Iran on one of the English channel called Iran Uncovered. A Canadian woman went under cover and travel to Iran as a tourist in order to find out more about "Zahra Kazemi's mysterious death and recent students movement. I have to admit that the program was absolutely scandalous for the government and Mullahs. In the program she went to visit one of the Shah's palace in

If we look back to the history of Islam Mohammed had a few faithful and very closed follower who were really good people. But when Mohammed died and some of them took the power and become a leader, their personality got changed 180. This is where problem start, these people are trusted by people but as soon as they get power they become the worst people ever seen. That is exactly what is

I was talking to some friends about the people who are governing and controlling our country at the moment. I asked one of my friend if the government saying that people in Iran have now freedom, why they don't make a referendum to see that people really want them? When I asked this question my friends laughed at me and said there is no democracy, all the power in the country is in the hand of

There is a local newspaper called "Metro" In where I live, and I usually read it because it is free. The headline of this newspaper two weeks ago was "Jews warned of terrorist threat". It was followed by more details in the first page that Jews in Britain were put on high alert after being told terrorists were plotting an imminent attack. They had been warned that Iranian extremists could be

There was an interesting program live on T.V a few days ago. An opposition government party had a conference. Some of the group leaders made speech, questioning their current government (the Labour party) and accuse them of breaking their promises. What surprised me was that in England opposition can speak freely and even demanding to hold a referendum against their government who have power

Going to university is a wish for all people who thinks about their future, at least it was for me. I started going to university almost a week ago and I notice some different between universities in Iran and England which I think is worth to discuss and compare. The quality of Higher education at universities is very high and good, but are the degrees as valuable as British one, is another
