سانسور سخنان سرکرده حزب الله برای جلوگيری از خشم مردم لبنان

Censorship of Nassrallah's interview with the Islamic Republic's state TV to prevent the anger of Lebanese people.

نصرالله در این بخش از سخنان خود صریحا اعتراف کرد که یک عامل و دست نشانده حکومت ایران است و دستورات تهران را اجرا می کند.بیژن نوباوه گزارشگر تلویزیون دولتی ایران که این مصاحبه را انجام داد، به سانسور بخشی از سخنان نصرالله اعتراف کرد و گفت: دبیرکل حزب الله در این بخش از سخنان خود گفت: ما حاضریم پاره پاره شویم و هزاران تکه گردیم تا ایران عزیز بماند.

Hassan Nassrallah in an interview with the national Iranian TV, explicitly admitted that he is an element and he is a vassal of the Islamic Republic of Iran and executes Tehran's orders. Bijan Nobaveh, the reporter of the state-run TV who did the interview with Nassrallah, admitted to censoring part of the Nassarallah's interview with him and said:" Nassraallh said: "we are ready to be torn into thousands pieces so the Dear Iran can survive.

زیرا اگر ایران عزیز بماند ما هم عزیزخواهیم ماند. من سرباز حقیر امام خمینی هستم. جوانان حزب الله به نام امام خمینی جنگیدند و از امام حسین یاری جستند و تبرکات خود را بر مردم ایران نثار کردند.علت آن که تلویزیون دولتی ایران این سخنان را سانسور کرد آن بود که نصرالله در آن صریحا اعتراف می کند که یک عامل و دست نشانده حکومت ایران است که نه به خاطر عظمت وطن خویش لبنان، بلکه در راه حکومت ایران عمل می کند. نصرالله با این سخنان عملا اعتراف می کند که این جنگ، جنگ ملت لبنان نبود، بلکه جنگ رژیم ایران بود و او دستورات ایران را در لبنان اجرا می کند و اقداماتش برای تامین منافع حکومت ایران است.

Because if dear Iran survives, we will remain dear too. We are all little soldiers of Imam Khomeini. The youth of Hizballah fought in the name of Imam Khomeini and they sought the assistance of Imam Hossein and they gave the Iranian people the blessing....He also said this was not Lebanoan's war but it was the war of the Iranian regime...

Iran: Revelation of an Underground Prison run by Lebanese Hizballah!

افشای نام بازداشتگاهی در عمق زمين و مخوف تر از 209 اوينگفته می شود، اداره بخشی از اين بازداشتگاه بر عهده افراد حزب الله لبنان است و دانشجويان و بازداشت شدگان دوران اخير- بويژه کسانی که از شهرستان ها به تهران منتقل شده اند- از تونل اين بازداشتگاه عبور کرده و سپس سر از بند 209 اوين در می آورند!


Peyk Net: News Leaked by political activists, report an underground prison in Tehran which is said to be more hair-raising than section 209 of Evin prison (Tehran's gulag). Management of some sections of this prison are said to be by individuals from Lebanese Hezbollah. The recent arrests of students, in particular, those who were transferred from other cities to Tehran, all have passed the tunnel of this prison and eventually ended up in Section 209 of Evin Prison.


در روزهای اخير، از جانب برخی فعالان سياسی داخل کشور که در پی کسب اخبار و رويدادهای داخل زندان ها و بازداشتگاه ها هستند، خبرهای جسته گريخته ای در باره يک بازداشتگاه پنهان منتشر شده است. اين بازداشتگاه " سوله کهريزک" نام دارد که در سطحی پائين تر از زمين قرار دارد و درواقع بازداشتگاهی زير زمينی است.

....

گفته می شود برخی دانشجويان بازداشت شده دوران اخير سر از اين "سوله" در آورده اند. در اين بازداشتگاه هيچ زندانی حق هواخوری و ديدن آفتاب را ندارد. استفاده از مستراح فقط يکبار در طول روز مجاز است و جيره زندانيان نيز تنها در يک نوبت توزيع ميشود و عمدتا سيب زمينی پخته و يا تخم مرغ پخته به همراه نان است. همچنين شايع است که "سوله کهريزک" بازداشتگاه جديدی نيست، اما انتقال بازداشت شدگان ايرانی به آن جديد است. اين بازداشتگاه پيش تر در اختيار حزب الله لبنان بوده و حتی برخی اعضای فعال القاعده در ارتباط با لبنان و فلسطين نيز در اين بازداشتگاه نگهداری می شده و زندانبانان از کادرهای حزب الله لبنان بوده اند.

It is reported that some of the students ended up in this prison. In this prison no one is allowed to see the light or get fresh air. You're only allowed to use the bathroom once a day. The prisoners are fed only once day; mostly boiled potatoes or boiled eggs with bread. It is also rumored that "Suleh Kahrizak" is not a new prison, but transferring Iranian prisoners there is something new. Previously, this prison was under the jurisdiction of Lebanese Hezbollah and even some Al- Qaeda members in relation to Lebanon and Palestine were held there and the prison guard were Lebanese Hezbollah members.

اين زندانبانان همچنان در "سوله کهريزک" فعال اند و حتی در روزهای اول انتقال برخی بازداشت شدگان دانشگاهی چه از تهران و چه از شهرستانها به سوله کهريزک، توسط همين زندانبانان مورد ضرب و شتم و شکنجه قرار گرفته اند و سپس بازجوهای ايرانی بتدريج آنها را تحويل گرفته اند و کار شکنجه و اعتراف گيری را سازمان داده اند.

These Lebanese guards are still active in "Suleh Kahrizak" and those prisoners from either Tehran or other cities who were transferred there were beaten and tortured by these Lebanese guards and then Iranian interrogators gradually took their custody and organized their own torture and forced confessions logistics. (Note: Iranians don't speak Arabic.)

Iran-based foundation, including its U.S. branch, allegedly providing support to Hezbollah

WASHINGTON (AP) The Bush administration took action Tuesday against an Iran-based foundation, including its U.S. branch, for allegedly providing support to Hezbollah, a terrorist group the United States has blamed for bloodshed in the Middle East.
The Treasury Department's action covers the Martyrs Foundation and Goodwill Charitable Organization of Dearborn, Mich., which the government identified as a fundraising office for the foundation.
"We will not allow organizations that support terrorism to raise money in the United States," said Stuart Levey, the Treasury Department's under secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.
FBI agents removed boxes from the Goodwill Charitable Organization's Dearborn office on Tuesday.Dawn Clenney, a spokeswoman for the FBI in Detroit, said members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force executed a series of search warrants. She said agents removed paper files from the Goodwill Charitable Organization and that no arrests were made.

About a mile away, FBI agents also were seen inside the office of the Al-Mabarrat Charitable Organization.
"There is no known threat to U.S. homeland security regarding these" searches, Clenney said.
Meanwhile, the Treasury Department also moved against al-Qard al-Hassan, a Beirut firm that the U.S. government believes was used by Hezbollah "as a cover to manage its financial activity."
Two Lebanese people - Qasem Aliq and Ahmad al-Shami - also were covered by Treasury's order.
The U.S. identified Aliq as a Hezbollah official who was once the director of the Martyrs Foundation's branch in Lebanon. The U.S. says he is currently a director of Jihad al Bina, a Lebanon-based construction company allegedly formed and operated by Hezbollah.
Al-Shami had worked for the foundation in Lebanon and has been in "frequent contact" with the Goodwill Charitable Organization, the department said. Goodwill Charitable Organization sent him money to distribute to the Martyrs Foundation, the department said.
The Treasury Department's action means that any bank accounts or other financial assets found in the United States that belong to those identified Tuesday must be frozen. Americans also are prohibited from doing business with them.
There was no current telephone listing for Goodwill Charitable Organization.
The department called Goodwill Charitable Organization, or GCO, "a Hezbollah front organization that reports directly to the leadership of the Martyrs Foundation in Lebanon. "Hezbollah recruited GCO leaders and had maintained close contact with GCO representatives in the United States," the department alleged.
Goodwill Charitable Organization has allegedly provided "financial support to Hezbollah directly and through the Martyrs Foundation in Lebanon," Treasury stated. "Hezbollah's leaders in Lebanon have instructed Hezbollah members in the United States to send their contributions to GCO and to contact the GCO for the purpose of contributing to the Martyrs Foundation," the department said.
"Since its founding," Treasury said, "GCO has sent a significant amount of money to the Martyrs Foundation in Lebanon."
The department alleged that the Martyrs Foundation channels financial support from Iran to Hezbollah, Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or PIJ, as well as other terrorist groups.
The U.S. says senior foundation officials were directly involved in Hezbollah operations against Israel last summer.

ISRAEL AND HEZBOLLAH, ROUND 2?

WASHINGTON, July 9 (UPI) -- Whether Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he wants to wipe Israel off the map is still contested, even by anti-mullah Iranian Americans. But that he wants to wipe out the Jewish state, there can be no doubt. As he completes his visits to every Iranian town, the collection of his pronunciamentos is edifying reading.

Culled from a wide variety of sources, ranging from the London Daily Telegraph, to the Suddeutsche Zeitung Online, to France's Le Monde and Liberation, Ahmadinejad spells out the target and the strategy:

-- This regime (Israel) will one day disappear.
-- The Zionist regime is a rotten tree that will be blown away by one storm.
-- The countdown for the destruction of Israel has begun.
-- Zionists are the personification of Satan.
-- In the case of any unwise move by the fake regime of Israel, Iran's response will be so destructive and quick that the regime will regret its move forever.
-- The West invented the myth of the massacre of the Jews (in World War II) and placed it above Allah, religions and prophets.

Ahmadinejad's strategic recipe:

-- We don't shy away from declaring that Islam is ready to rule the world.
-- The wave of the Islamist revolution will soon reach the entire world.
-- Our revolution's main mission is to pave the way for the reappearance pf the 12th Imam, the Mahdi (a 5-year-old boy who vanished 1,100 years ago and who will lead the world into an era of peace and prosperity, but not before the planet is convulsed by death and destruction).
-- Soon Islam will become the dominating force in the world, occupying first place in the number of followers among all other religions.
-- Is there a craft more beautiful, more sublime, more divine, than the craft of giving yourself to martyrdom and becoming holy? Do not doubt Allah will prevail, and Islam will conquer mountaintops of the entire world.
-- Iran can recruit hundreds of suicide bombers a day. Suicide is an invincible weapon. Suicide bombers in this land showed us the way, and they enlighten our future.
-- The will to commit suicide is one of the best ways of life.
-- By the grace of Allah we will be a nuclear power and Iran does not give a damn about (IAEA) demands (to freeze enrichment of nuclear fuel).
-- Iran does not give a damn about resolutions.
-- The Islamic Republic of Iran has the capacity to quickly become a world superpower.
-- Iran's enemies know your courage, faith and commitment to Islam and ... Iran has created a powerful army that can powerfully defend the political borders and the integrity of the Iranian nation and cut off the hand of any aggressor and place the sign of disgrace on their forehead.
-- In parallel to the official political war there is a hidden war going on and the Islamic states should benefit from their economic potential to cut off the hands of the enemies.

Addressing a conference devoted to "The World Without Zionism," Ahmadinejad said, "To those who doubt, to those who ask is it possible, or those who do not believe, I say accomplishment of a world without America and Israel is both possible and feasible."

Hyperbole, gigantism, overkill, huckstering, hocus-pocus, all of the above. But intelligence mounts daily of Iranian efforts to undermine U.S. efforts to stabilize Iraq and Afghanistan and U.N. efforts to stem the violence in Lebanon (six U.N. peacekeepers were killed by a roadside IED).

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's report said, "It is widely believed in Lebanon, including by the government, that the strengthening of Palestinian outposts could not have taken place without the tacit knowledge and support of the Syrian government."

Ban also noted Israel's claim that "the transfer of sophisticated weapons by Syria and Iran across the Lebanese-Syrian border, including long-range rockets (with a range of 250 miles) ... (and) anti-tank and anti-aircraft systems, occurs on a weekly basis."

Israel also says Hezbollah "armed elements are constructing new facilities in the Bekaa valley, including command and control centers, rocket launching capabilities and conducting military training exercises."

There is little doubt Israel and Hezbollah are suiting up for a resumption of last summer's 34-day war in which the Israel Defense Force came off second best due to poor political and military leadership. Hezbollah is also shorthand for Syria and Iran. Tehran supplies the equipment and the funding. Syria acts as the transmission belt and is generously compensated.

Damascus has evidently concluded that an Israeli offensive across the Golan Heights is in the offing. For the first time in 40 years, Syria dismantled military checkpoints on the road to Kuneitra on its side of the Golan. Foreign journalists were barred from covering Israeli maneuvers on the Heights. Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said the IDF was conducting military maneuvers -- and nothing more.

One of the more plausible scenarios has Israel preparing for a drive into Syria across the Golan Heights, and then fighting a "decisive" battle with the Syrian army on the road to Damascus, followed by a left "hook" into Lebanon to execute an outflanking attack on Hezbollah.

That could also be a strategically propitious moment for U.S. action against Iran. It remains to be seen whether the key players in President George W. Bush's National Security Council would agree an opportunity is at hand to dust off an Air Force and Navy contingency plan to take out Iran's 23 nuclear facilities.

Lebanese Hezballah tries to distance itself from the Islamic Republic!!

Hezbollah: Please don’t confuse us with Islamic Republic!
Jun 12th, 2007 by City boy

Hamed Beheshti, an Iranian blogger in Beirut claims that when he was at a dinner with Dr. Hossein Rahal, the spokesman for Hezbullah, the Iranian guests there told Rahal about the popularity Hezbollah has gained since the last summer’s war with Israel, mainly between some Iranian youth who apparently wear t-shirts with pictures of Hassan Nasrullah (the secretary general of Hezbollah).

Apparently when Rahal heard this, he quickly cried out:

Please do something so the [Iranian] people don’t confuse the Lebanese Hezbollah with the fringe groups active in Iran with similar names! [Ansar-e Hezbollah] In Iran these groups force religion on to people but religion should flow itself in to the society to have it’s real effect; Making religion compulsory does not make sense!

Ansar-e Hezbollah are an unofficial force by the Islamic Republic made up of Basiji militants who follow “the path of the Imam” and crush the “morally corrupt” in the society. They are well known for brutally attacking and literally crushing the Tehran student uprising in July 1999.

So there it goes, Islamic Republic is considered fundamentalist even to the likes of Hezbollah!

Kindergarden Graduation from Hell!

"I just happened across a video on YouTube that pretty well takes jihadist pageantry (and child abuse) to another level entirely. It's got a child suicide bomber, jihadist rhetoric, a child (convincingly) playing Hassan Nasrallah, and lots of kids with guns.I blame BushCo and the Iraq War for this.

Lebanon: Tehran Turning up the heat in Lebanon!

Tehran's turbaned terrorists also turned up the heat in Lebanon. Amid reports that Iranian proxy Hezbollah was preparing for a summer war with Israel, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah made a fiery speech suggesting a determination to take power in Lebanon even if it leads to a new civil war. (Nasrallah is now a looming influence in Syria. The secular Baathist dictatorship, as part of an attempt to appease an Islamist revival sweeping the country, has promoted his visage in banners, posters, and tee-shirts.)

The Israeli-Hezbollah War of 2006: The Media As A Weapon in Asymmetrical Conflict

Cartoon by Shirin from Lebanon


Marvin Kalb, a former correspondent for CBS News, and Carol Saivetz of Harvard have produced a paper (pdf) examining the role of the media (willingly or otherwise) as a weapon in that war.

Anyone who works as a journalist or who closely followed the coverage of the war ought to read the whole thing. But here are a few segments worth underscoring:


If we are to collect lessons from this war, one of them would have to be that a closed society can control the image and the message that it wishes to convey to the rest of the world far more effectively than can an open society, especially one engaged in an existential struggle for survival. An open society becomes the victim of its own openness. During the war, no Hezbollah secrets were disclosed, but in Israel secrets were leaked, rumors spread like wildfire, leaders felt obliged to issue hortatory appeals often based on incomplete knowledge, and journalists were driven by the fire of competition to publish and broadcast unsubstantiated information. A closed society conveys the impression of order and discipline; an open society, buffeted by the crosswinds of reality and rumor, criticism and revelation, conveys the impression of disorder, chaos and uncertainty, but this impression can be misleading.

It was hardly an accident that Hezbollah, in this circumstance, projected a very special narrative for the world beyond its ken—a narrative that depicted a selfless movement touched by God and blessed by a religious fervor and determination to resist the enemy, the infidel, and ultimately achieve a “divine victory,” no matter the cost in life and treasure. The narrative contained no mention of Hezbollah’s dependence upon Iran and Syria for a steady flow of arms and financial resources.
.....
Hezbollah, whenever possible, pointed reporters to civilian deaths among Lebanese, a helpful gesture with heavy propaganda implications. Early in the war, reporters routinely noted that Hezbollah had started the war, and its casualties were a logical consequence of war. But after the first week such references were either dropped or downplayed, leaving the widespread impression that Israel was a loose cannon shooting at anything that moved. “Disproportionality” became the war’s mantra; even if Israel did not start the war, so the argument went, it responded to Hezbollah’s opening raid with a disproportionate display of military strength, wrecking Lebanon’s economy, destroying its infrastructure, inflaming political passions and killing civilians with reckless abandon. “And for what?” Lebanese asked. “For eight soldiers?” Rarely in the coverage was there “proportionate” mention of Israeli civilian deaths suffered during Hezbollah’s sustained rocket attacks.

...Once, Hezbollah conducted a media tour of a southern suburb of Beirut inhabited by Shiite supporters whose homes and apartments had been badly damaged during Israeli air strikes. The point was to again use the media as a weapon in the propaganda war for public approval, and the media did not mind being used, though they were forced to pay a price. Foreign correspondents were warned, on entry to the tour, that they could not wander off on their own or ask questions of any of the residents. They could only take pictures of sites approved by their Hezbollah minders. Violations, they were told, would be treated harshly. Cameras would be confiscated, film or tape destroyed, and offending reporters would never again be allowed access to Hezbollah officials or Hezbollah-controlled areas.

...The cameramen didn’t need Hezbollah’s permission to film the devastation, but if in the wreckage they saw young men with guns, they were warned not to take pictures of these Hezbollah fighters, else their cameras would be confiscated and they might run into trouble returning to Beirut—an indirect warning, which most reporters took seriously... Throughout the conflict, the rarest picture of all was that of a Hezbollah guerrilla. It was as if the war on the Hezbollah side was being fought by ghosts.
...
Not so, on the Israeli side of the war, where officials made a clumsy effort to control and contain the coverage but essentially failed. Hour after hour, day after day, newspapermen and anchormen found many ways to avoid Israeli censorship or obstruction—and cover the war, which was their job... Jonathan Finer, a reporter for The Washington Post, had no trouble interviewing, by his count, two dozen Israeli soldiers “at army bases, hotels, artillery batteries and staging points for their entry into Lebanon since the heaviest ground fighting began last week.”... As waves of Israeli armor moved into southern Lebanon, people everywhere, presumably including Hezbollah, could see on their screens what was happening. This was after all a war being carried live to every TV set and computer in the world.

...Walid Omary, Jerusalem bureau chief for Al-Jazeera, described how Israeli police followed his television crews and accused them of “giving information to the enemy,” and yet he deployed three television crews to Al-Jazeera’s daily coverage of the Israeli side of the war—“one in Haifa and one on the border and a third in Jerusalem.”
.....
Rarely did the media use photographs to show that Hezbollah fired its weapons from residential neighborhoods in clear violation of international law. This was rare, because Hezbollah did not allow reporters to film such military activity. Yet, on July 30, the Sunday Herald Sun in Australia did just that. 60 It published photos that, in its own words, “damn Hezbollah” for conducting military operations in populated suburbs. In one photo of a “high density residential area,” Hezbollah was shown preparing launch pads for “rockets and heavy-caliber weapons.” In another men were firing an anti-aircraft gun “meters from an apartment block” where laundry was drying on a balcony. The newspaper said that the photos were “exclusive,” shot by a “visiting journalist and smuggled out by a friend.” The photos had to be smuggled out of Beirut, because Hezbollah would never have allowed them to be shot—they proved that Hezbollah was in fact conducting military operations from heavily populated Beirut suburbs, which was considered a war crime. ...

Also, the line a "closed society can control the image and the message that it wishes to convey to the rest of the world far more effectively than can an open society" should be burned into the brains of all those who have been minimizing Iran's 'propaganda coup'.

Iran role reported in schism of Iraq militia

Chicago Tribune reports that a group of shi'ite militia have broken allegiance with Moqtada and now are being trained in Iran. Are we going to have an 'Iraqi Hizballah' under the auspieces of Supreme Leader of Ignorance, Aytaollah Khameani? Are they going to fight their shi'ite brethern loyal to Moqtada Sadr? Excerpt below:


The Shiite militia known as the Mahdi Army is breaking into splinter groups, with as many as 3,000 gunmen now financed directly by Iran and no longer loyal to the firebrand cleric Moqtada Sadr, adding a potentially even more deadly element to Iraq's violent mix.

Two senior militia commanders told The Associated Press that hundreds of these fighters have crossed into Iran for training by the elite Quds Force, a branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guard thought to have trained Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon and Muslim fighters in Bosnia and Afghanistan.

The breakup is an ominous development at a time when U.S. and Iraqi forces are working to defeat religious-based militias and secure Iraq under government control. While Sadr's forces have fought the coalition repeatedly, including pitched battles in 2004, they have mostly stayed in the background during the latest offensive.

Ahamadinejad's Spending Habits

Mosque in Afghanistan being built by Iran courtsey of Iranian oil

Ahmadinejad got elected on the platform of putting the oil money on Iranian people's dinner table. Looks like he is putting the oil money on Lebanese ($2.1 billion), Iraqis ($1 billion), Afghans and Palestinians ($150 million) tables other than the Iranian people's table while Iranian kids go to bed hungry and Iran's economic conditions deteriorates.

First, he poured money into the backing of Hizbollah over last summer's war, and then he put money into anti-US fund with Hugo Chavez (read here.) Now, he is building a shiite mosque in Afghanistan.

And the absolute nuttiest of all of his idiocies has to be wasting money on buying prayer beads. Winston reports that Islamic regime has distributed around 10 million prayer beads in schools across the nation and has ordered/asked the students to pray for the success of the nuclear program.

OPEN LETTER TO AJ (AHMADINEJAD)

Dear AJ...

Open Letter to AJ from A Nobody in Iran.

... He likes writing letters; or maybe he likes attention. Whatever the motive, now that "His Excellency" has declared his detestation of "darkness, deceit, lies, and distortion" and his admiration for "salvaion, elightenment, sincerity and honesty", I, yours truely, a nobody living in Iran, who is eternally grateful to the Almighty for having been blessed to be living under "His Excellency's" God-fearing, truth-loving, justice-seaking administration, would in turn like to write a letter to him.

Your Luminescence,

Allow me to introduce myself. I am a nobody. One of the many million nobodies living in the country we call Iran, the same place Your Excellency would rather call "the Islamic Land", because afterall, this dear land does not belong to our fellow Iranian Christians, Iranian Jews, Iranian Bahaais, Iranian Zoroastrians, and yes Iranian agnostics and atheists. Yet, we God-fearing justice-seaking Shi'ites allow these infidels to live in our Islamic land in peace and harmony with us, out of the kindness of our heart, simply because we "deplore injustice and trampling of peoples' rights".

Your Excellency! A couple of weeks ago I read the news of your open letter to the American people while browsing through the headlines on a newspaper stand. The news of your thoughtful and timely action thrilled me so much, that I could not stop myself laughing so laudly, the other people thought I had lost my senses. Today, I finally had the chance to read your remarkable letter. It made me so proud to read those words, and so relieved that I, unlike those poor Americans, have a government that is so much concerned about the well-being of the people of the whole wide world.

How envious the Americans ought to be, to see that I live in a country, the president of which reminds other nations of the fact that "governments are there to server their own people." Too bad they cannot see for themselves the kind of service we receive from Your Excellency's administration. Just recently I found out our Internet connection speeds are being curbed and furthermore filtered on the orders of your infinitely wise administration. I cannot begin to describe the sense of security it gave me, to know that my government is so much concerned about my moral well-being, that in an era of Gigabit networks, my government cannot even tolerate a couple-of-hundred Kilobit per second connection for the morally vulnerable citizens like me.

Too bad the Americans are not here to see for themselves the extent of freemdom of speech in this country. Our press enjoy so much freedom that Your Excellency's government is now passing orders for websites and weblogs to apply for licenses, or else face "the consequences". It is true that the Americans invented the Internet, but they are so obtuse not to have asked the world to apply for a license, otherwise you and I could not now use it to "freely" accuse their Administration of supporting injustice and distortion of truth!

I wish you had elaborated more on the idea of "a better approach to governance." Mention of a few instances like spending the country's cash reserves on building Minarets for shrines in Iraq while our own fellow earthquake-striken Iranians are still living in tents, would have certainly been illuminating. How about promoting the eradication of family planning and birth control? How about sending the stock market down the hills by adopting an insance policy of "deprivatization" and scaring off private investors by establishing a climate of fear and a constant anticipation of war? I also wonder why "Your Excellency" did not give these Yankees a few lessons on your latest innovations in the electoral process. I can merely hope, having seen our last Friday's elections, the American government at least is inspired to resort to more elegant methods of rigging votes, and stop spending so much of their tax payers' money on designing "deceptive" ballot papers that only manage to confuse a bunch of retired people down in Florida. I wish you had told them this in a language they can understand, like: "If you want to rig the votes, you ought to stop being such wussies and rig'em like real men. Steal the whole goddamn ballot boxes and fill'em with whatever freakin' names you like!"I also do not think the Americans can grasp the depth of your remarks on putting "wealth and power in the service of peace, stability, prosperity and the happiness of all peoples". I wish you had brought forth some concrete examples, like giving money to terror-craving monsters in Lebanon and Iraq to bring war to their own country.

So good of you to remind the newly elected American congressmen and senators of the fact that they shall be held accountable by "the people" and "the history". There is a famous quote from the prophet that says: "Audit yourselves [and your deeds] before you get audited." I realize it is too much to ask of your Excellency, but for once, just once, please think! Think how "the people" and "the history", which you adamently insist on denying, will audit you and your company. Not "the people" whom you bring along in buses to "greet" you in different cities but nobodies like me. Believe me you do not want them to audit you! But I suppose you have already found that out when you visited the Polytechnic University.

Mr. President! I too detest "darkness, deceit, lies and distortion", but I also detest the people who are the embodiments of not only darkness, deceit, lying and distortion, but also symbols of cultural and intellectual anti-progression and degeneracy. And by that token please allow me to say this to you with utmost sincerity: I detest YOU!

Yours Very Frustrated,

A Nobody in Iran
