let's know more about a complicated country

Iran former president Mohammad Khatami allowed to enter united state without any insulting acts (like fingerprinting) that U.S behave with citizens of unfriendly countries .

In Iran hardliners called him traitor becouse of his trip , and in the united state many official like governor and senators called him as former leader of a terrorist county .

maybe it was good if I mentioned that Mr khatami have most votes of iranian people as a president ,23 milion vote in first round in front of 9 milion votes of president ahmadinejad in first round(and 17 milion in second round) .Mr khatami also known as an religious intellectual in the many countries.

With all of these facts , what do you think about objections in Iran and U.S to him about his trip? why hardliners in Iran (supporters of Mr ahmadinejad) called a traitor or what kind of persons in U.S could write article like this?

IRAN is the same PERISA

I assume that situation in Iran constantly leave for a long time like today (Iran nuclear program was in UNSC and a war potentially being a big menace for Iran , also a hard liner government be in power, and like 20 years ago Iran have tension with world but everything is still calm ) .with this situation what must be interesting for a foreigner to visit Iran as a tourist.

please remember I assume that everything is calm and there is no war and chaos like Iraq ;)

Iran is among top ten ! countries which have potentially more interesting points in tourism industry,but with all of this Iran has only 0.3% of all money in tourism industry.

And my question :

Q: what must be interesting for a tourist for visiting Iran?

please answer these question and write any obstacle you think is in Iran for foreigner tourist?

I think I could guess some obstacles for foreigner tourist in Iran, for example :

1. Iran government is very strict in issuing visa for many citizen of "not friendly countries" .
   
2. many limitation in Iran (law or culture of Iranians!?) restrict tourist e.g alcoholic drinks are banned in Iran...
   
3. many of people especially in western countries only have an illusion vision about Iran
   
4. and ...
   

maybe it was not a relevant post to what happen these days in the world.but I really ask you answer the question and help me complete these list because it is really important for me and especially one of my friends.

After 100 years…

Today was 100 anniversary of parliament in Iran .100 years ago after lots of demonstrations and objections by Iranian people . finally the king Mozzafar-e-din Shah convinces to sign order of first parliament in Iran (and Asia).
In Iran this movement called as Revolution.
But after about 100 years this question frequently asked in Iran society and among intellectuals: what happen in these 100 years that Iran couldn’t achieve to a complete democracy and free society?
Iranian experienced at least 3 revolutions in these years every time to starting a new course but after a period of time they see there is not all of they wants form their movement which they tried for it.
Maybe revolt is not a good case for achieving what our society expect (what do you think about reform?). Or maybe Iranians only anticipate a paradise just after every movement so they didn’t t support (or supervise) the leaders of movements for a long time so very soon they disappointed and wants to comeback to past (president Ahmadi nejead is Succeeded of reformist president Khatami)
Or maybe leaders betrayed to hopes of Iranians with fighting with each other for more power
And finally maybe Iranian people are not ready yet for a real democracy.
--------
I really didn’t want to close my eyes to all of signs that Iranians obtain in these 100 years in freedom and democracy , frankly I am really glad that I was born in Iran instead of Iraq ,Qatar ,Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkmenistan. Azerbaijan, Jordan Oman, Cuba, Syria or many others of U.S allies in the world
But I am upset why I couldn’t experience all of democracy !

Dear politician, pls go to hell

Let’s promise to each other do whatever we could do to stop wars in every part of our planet .

---------------------

Update:

I really don’t want continue this issue but I can not really resist when I saw picture of Qana massacre today. Just close your eyes and imagine how is terrifying when in midnight children who were in hug of their mothers wake up with a horrible sound and with second explosion buried in ruin suddenly.
I have no doubt if such tragedy happens for Israeli residents, Israel government response with a atomic bomb and then US describe it as a self defence operation . but now because these people were second class human now they could sit in security council with enough time and discuses does security council must condemned Israel or not?

I was thinkig that they are different with their Iranian allies

After 2000 I saw Hezbollah as a political party with smart leaders, so I've thought politic and policy is more important for them instead of military action but I really shocked when Hezbollah seize Israeli soldiers
Do they did the operation to supporting Palestine people? But it is obvious that they are responsible in front of Lebanon people more than Palestine and Hamas ? I don't think that they've been so stupid that cannot predict reaction of Israel for such actions. they sacrificed Lebanon peace and calm for what reason? I eagerly anticipte to hear what is answer of Hezbollah to Lebanese .why they provoked Israel monster . Israel bombarded many parts of Lebanon which reconstructed after war by unity of Lebanese so why they must do an operation when every one know about its consequences?
why?

We condemned Palestinian but...

Israel start to attack to Gaza because an Israeli soldier took hostage by mad Palestinian militant but durning theses strikes only innocent people killed.
One person is captive instead of that they killed palestinian people until the soldier released .
This question always tease mu mind? Why Israeli residents are more important than Palestinian people for international community.
all officals in the west condemned stealing of Israel's soldier but no one never condemned Israel actions against Palestinian . every one ask both side for calm down ,but no one never asked Israel why target residential region ?
It’s seems like everyone accept the rights of Israel to do what they think it is essential for themselves. They even allowed killed kids and women because it is possible they join terrorist groups in future!
-----------
PS: in Iran evrtything is same but in a reverse manner : every one condemned Israel and describe all Palestinian as pure innocent people .

They want invent wheel again

They speak about new sciences. In many speeches they speak about Nanotechnology, biotechnology and of course nuclear technology! (do they know exactly meaning of these logies?)They claim that because these are new science and because we found importance of these science very soon we could achieve to summit of these science easily and then we will become one of most developing country cause of our achievements.
there is no doubt that Bio and Nano technologies will have an important role in next decades and I must admire at least in biotechnology I am aware of many good project s which descriptive in Iran’s universities.
But there is some vague points for example:
1-Definitely achieving new science needs tools, materials and communication with outer world. But when we separate ourselves from others with all kinds of sanctions we couldn’t evaluate our knowledge and method for our goal.
2- who is responsible for this isolation, Iran or others, we accuse them they restrict us from new science and they accuse that we research in wrong way for making biological and atomic weapons ?
3-….

Funny IN FARSI

Let me recommended you a book for familiarizing you more with Iranian culture. a book which has positive feedbacks these days in Iranian blog sphere *

Funny in Farsi : A Memoir of Growing Up Iranian in America

”Funny in Farsi” involve 20 humorous short stories written by an Iranian woman who immigrated to united state with her family when she was 7.
The writer more focus on Iranian immigrant society in united state and problems of adaption from both side (Iranian and American problems to accept each other)
The book also depicted Iranian manner with an excellent satire, for example when I read funny exaggerations of writer about his family and compare them with my life and my relatives my laughter was really out of control.
So I recommended you if you still didn’t read this book, don’t miss it because I am sure you will enjoy from houmor of the book
*Every year in mid of may Persian blog sphere is full of book recommendations because of Tehran book fair.

IT IS WORLD CUP TIME

For these days, we‘ve counted days and months for about eight years. We are eagerly waiting for what we experienced in France 98 world cup.
I remembered the night we won the match against USA; streets were packed with people who celebrated until late midnight
That night Iran’s leaders sent messages and congratulated this winning against Iran’s biggest enemy! But the only thing that was not important for us that night was this kind of views to a national victory. We celebrated only for our first victory in a world cup match.
And after 8 years we are preparing for celebrating our next victories in 2006 .

===========

Another prediction from yasser nostradamus :

we will beat all of our opponents and Final match is between ...

IRAN vs. BRAZIL ;)

any objection?

--------

Update:

First match :

we lost first match (mexic3-1 Iran) , we were grate first half , but because we were played only with 10 players (our 37 years old captain was only walking during match) so we lost the second half ,but we are not disappointed yet because we still have 2 match and our captain (Ali Daei ) injured yesterday (thanks god ;)

Second match:

we lost second match too (Portugal 2-0 Iran) and eliminate from world cup. but we still have another match with Angola and we have only one choice to hope that at least we could defeat Angola .

Third match:

it was a boring match:( (Angola 1-1 Iran)

I am smarter!

Mr. President of Iran gets permission! to write a letter to Mr. president of United States .the letter was fulfill with moral and religious teaches for Bush but beyond the letter I think was an important message to U.S and Europeans.
“We finally conclude that its better we negotiate with you instead speak indirectly with you from your European allies. so we are ready to negotiate”
most of the world expects answer of United States to this request: "They want to negotiate with you why you are hesitating?"

Ok, now it is turn of united stat to act, their response was this: "We are ready to join direct multilateral talks with Iran on its nuclear programme if Tehran suspends disputed nuclear activities. "

Iran for about 2 years when Mr. khatami was president of Iran suspended all its enrichment activities but united state didn’t accept to negotiate directly. but now that Iran halt suspension and its propaganda for Iranian says "we never accept any suspension ", I think it is a good trick to drop the ball in iran 's field but I pessimistically think is also an unfair trick to flee from a diplomatic solution on Iran nuclear dispute .

My predictions:
Iran will not accept 5+1 incentive proposal simply .but I also predict in next few month Iran and US finally seat on one desk! (Sorry if the sentence is wrong!) and negotiate after about 30 years .
