The message of Bush to Iranian people

2006-09-16T22:13:00.000+02:00

In my point of view the last message of Bush to Iranian people was positive and not black and white as it used to be, to describe Iran as axis of evil and may be it would be helpful to find a diplomatic solution for this nuclear crises.

"My thoughts and prayers are with the Iranian people, particularly the families of the many Iranians who are in prison today for daring to express their hopes and dreams for a better future. We continue to stand with the people of Iran in your quest for freedom, prosperity, honest and effective government, judicial due process and the rule of law. And we continue to call on the government of Iran to respect the will of its people and be accountable to them.

As I have said before, if Iran respects its international obligations and embraces freedom and tolerance, it will have no better friend than the United States of America.

Best wishes for a bright future, filled with knowledge and information and freedom."

SIR, NO SIR!

That was the title of the film that our anti-war team organized to show in Middlesex University.
"Sir! No Sir!" came out last year and, for the first time ever, tells the amazing story of the rebellion of thousands of US soldiers against the war in Vietnam, a movement that became so powerful that it was a major factor in bringing the war to an end.
I found the film good the aspect that the best solution of preventing a war could be when the soldiers refuse to take part in it.
The people who came to see the film looked amazing with different background and ages, especially an old lady over 80 years old with lots of memories about second World war and was fed up with all times dirty politicians!
23 of September is the big anti-war demonstration in Manchester we will go with a coach I haven't finished my poster yet!

I had a stressful time the last three weeks, some thing with Hospital and doctors, which is not my favourite thing so I don?t like to talk with anybody or even write about it either.

But because of this stressful time we decided to spoil us a bit and planned a weekend in Bath the only city in England with hot Spa, well it was nice however not so nice like the ones in Austria or in Germany but the best thing about it, is despite in Austria and Germany wearing swimming wear is an obligation!
We spend the night in a Luxury Bed and breakfast in a Farm with nice country decoration on our way we visited the Durham park with a wonderful magic garden with a pool and some huge gold fish in it, I discovered a blackberry tree ( shahtoot)
And after years I ate lots and lots of juicy sweet berries.
Outside the building and garden was a protected forest with many beautiful small deer.

Yo Blair! cease fire now!

2006-08-08T13:41:00.000+02:00

On Saturday we marched from Piccadilly to the Houses of Parlimant with approximately at least 50000 people from different cultures, races and religions shouting " CEASE FIRE NOW" demonstrating against war in Lebenon and expressing their solidarity with a nation under attack with bombs and rockets.
It was disturbing for me to see a few Hezbollah flags among the demonstrantes, because in my point of view every extremist and conservative ideology should be rejected and only tolerance can lead to a peaceful world! But fortunately some of the speakers made good points including the right of existence of Israel.

For a symbolic act the "Stop the War" organisation asked demonstrants to put children shoes at the Cenotaph to protest against the killing of children .

On sunday we woke up early moring. At about 6am a taxi took us to Victoria station and there we took a coach to Liverpool. At 1pm we were at Liverpool. After having lunch and some sightseeing including the tower of Liverpool and visting the local radio station we picked up our new car, a Ford Focus Ghia which is compared to the Renault which we owned more comfortable and looks also nicer, then we went with the new car to the beach and at about 11 pm we were at home in London.

It is a heart breaking photo a Israelis little girl who writes memorial on a bomb for Lebanese children

And the bomb arrived and brought the hate and death message to a Lebanese 3 years old little girl
Its is so sad looking at the faces of these children who are anxious but also angry at the burial ceremony of this little girl

For how long and how many generation this war will continue? no land is worth of a drop of blood that is certainly not a holy country with too many innocent blood poured on it no difference if they were Moslems , Jews or Christ.
And my respect towards all people with awake consciences, especially to all antiwar demonstrantes in Tel Aviv!

And my thanks to my dear Walter who wrote the following letter to our MP:

Dear Mr Burrowes,

60 civilians have again been killed by the IDF yesterday, in a single house, and more than half of them were children.

I ask you therefore to support an immediate, unconditional and lasting ceasefire. Non of the parties will achieve their objectives with rockets or bombs. The complicated problems of this area are better addressed with negotiations than with weapons. Not that negotiations will bring any real solution in the near future - there is just too much hate on each side. But maybe we can give future generations the chance to deal with this issue if the children do not have to witness the ongoing killing of civilians (live or on TV). These killings create hate and make it less likely that today's children will negotiate successfully when they become adults themselves.

One last point: Please remind the prime minister that the UK is a member of the EU, and not a member of the US. As a result of voting for the US led Iraq war, Stephen Twigg MP lost his seat last year and the Lib Dems (who stood a very anti-war candidate) and the Greens both saw their votes increase as a result of anti-war feeling. The current conflict will increase the anti-war feeling in the UK and decrease the chances of any pro-war MP to be re-elected.

Best Regards,

It has been a perfect Saturday, we had lunch at Harvester, and after that we went to Cliveden, had a long walk along the river, watched the beautiful gardens including the secret garden with all nice artistic statues, there was an Indian wedding in the house all Indian women were wearing beautiful colourful saris, after a break in the coffee we made our way back to our car through a magical forest which you used to see in cartoons!

As we were driving back to Southgate we turned the radio on and that was when I heard the news could n´t stop my self and broke to tears.
Again Israel air strike killed many innocent people including small children!
I do not know what to say , it is unbelievable, how could do they this, how could the whole world not give a damn about it, ok it has been some light protest from government, the protest from all antiwar organization but when these demos got bigger and bigger , when more people involve in it, I belive it will not continues
Instead of closing eyes instead of closing ears to heart breaking scenes make it open and protest , let the government hear us! forget the religions , the races and skin colours, we are all human being and we want to live in peace.
I can not understand the Israelis,whom their last generation suffered too much by genocide in Auschwitz and holocaust , how could they do such a massacre to Lebenanese and Palestinian people they should know how does it feel to live in terror and anxiety to bury your beloved one.

For the women who are beaten on woman day and on their peaceful demo!

2006-06-14T21:33:00.000+02:00

The Iranian governments insists that atom energy is our absolute right we should have it at all cost but when our brave women demonstrate for their certain right they are than beaten with cruelty,they gathered and demanded the change of the polygamy law in marriage and to have the equal right as same the men at divorce, and these are only the base of human right and absolutely their rights!Which are answered with cruelty and wildness!

We will miss you!

2006-06-14T11:04:00.000+02:00

The memories come to my mind, the small blue pool with gold fishes in your garden the ripe grapes which hang over in the your small garden , when I pass the long corridor there is aroma of saffron and rice everywhere , may be you have cooked my favorite meal,I felt so good at your home, there was that comfort security and love, there were always such big parties in your home,with that lively happy atmosphere, my cousins were playing and the others were chatting loud.
And now I can imagine how quite and empty looks every where and how sad is it that I am even so far that I can not attend in your ceremony!
I miss you so much grandma!

The Letter of Jewish comunity in Iran to Ahmadinejad

2006-02-10T16:37:00.000+01:00

This is a part of Letter which I tried to translate from the Tehran Jewish Comitee
The Jewish community of Iran is worried about what in Iranian media is happening and mentioning that holocaust was only a myth.
Is it not possible to make a small research and read the "Mein Kampf" from Hitler again?
And see what was mentioned as the base for Nazis was erasing the Jewish and gypsy race
Mr President there is no doubt more than 50 millions People were died in Second World War, what is the importance if there had been 6 millions or one millions Jews among them!!!
Holocaust is not a myth as general Massacre of saddam in Halabache (killing the Kurds) the massacre of Palestinians and Lebanones in Sabra and Shatila by Sharon, and massacre of Moslem in Balkan by Serbian and what happens today in Afghanistan and Iraq are also not a myth!

Sorry Darling! Some stones were thrown to windows of your embassy today!

2006-02-06T22:34:00.000+01:00

What a long time I did not write any thing here, some how I was busy with our trips to Iran and Spain, on the other hand am so busy with lots of plan and projects, but I think the most important factor Which I could not write any thing was that I am so fed up with all these stupid stories about nuclear quarrel between Iran and Europe and America, I do not want to comment it again what is my point of view is written in one of my last years posts ( U ), and the thing is I do not believe or support the new president of Iran I am only worried about my country my relatives, my friends and my people.

And today I heard the news about the attacks to Austrian embassy and eventual Austrian culture institute, which made me upset und somehow ashamed of behaviour of group of demonstrants who threw stones to embassy and broke the windows (However they were only 400 of 12000000 of Tehran Population!)
I felt so bad about it I know the building and even the kind employees and the culture institute is where I have been learning Germany for four years I have so many sweet memories about that.
So when Walter called me I felt so ashamed and apologized him because of the unacceptable and wild behaviour of demonstrants, remembered few years ago when Heider won in Austria some Students wore as Protest T-shirt with the message " sorry ,I did not vote for him!" And I asked myself if I was living still in Austria should I than also have worn a T-shirt "Sorry I did not threw any stones!!!!!!!"
But actually what do you expect from normal people when the leader are such idiots, and unfortunately they are all so narrow-minded, what is happening how could you compare khatamie or Clinton or even Schröder to their horrible substitute, Ahmadinejad, Bush, Merkel ...
Where has in our todays world tolerant and respect been left? There should be a press freedom but not at the price hurting the others feeling which is against the base of democracy your freedom is limited where you could hurt somebody so the Muslims, Christ and Jews should learn when they can not love each other at least try to understand the other point of view and definitely respect each others belief and feelings.
So in my point of view the Muslims should not any more worry and discuss about the existence of holocaust because by this mean they hurt the feeling of the people who have suffered during the second war, on the hand the Christs and Jews should respect what is holy for the Muslims and do not make fun of it.
And at the best case all these three religions followers should take some lessons from more peaceful religions like Buddhismus and zarathustra and at last do not forget it is not important what kind of religion you have but being a human!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Forgotten empire of Persia

2005-10-22T19:47:00.000+02:00

As today Walter wanted to participate in 42.2 km Cross Country Walk Marathon in Blackwater(I learned later he won the first place). I decided to spend the day in the British Museum which has currently an Exhibition about ancient Persia: " The forgotten Empire"

The exhibition was a selection of precious objects from the National Museum of Iran, the Persepolis Museum and the Louvre, and British Museum itself.
It was funny because the only objects I was not familiar with were the objects from the Iranian Museum.
The exhibition was really busy, what I liked mostly was the reason why the exhibition was made: I read somewhere that this conflict between West and East has existed since 2500 years and because the Greek have written the history there was always a misjudgement about Iran. This exhibition should help give the West another image of Persia(Iran) than as an evil axis!
The Persian empire which lasted from the middle of the 500s BC until the defeat of Darius III by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, the Persian empire ruled a vast portion of the then-known world from the Nile to the Indus. It connected the Mediterranean with modern Afghanistan. Rich beyond dreams, powerful beyond dispute, the great kings ruled from their mighty palaces at Susa and Persepolis, tolerating the religions and cultures of subject peoples and harvesting the creativity of near eastern civilisation that had already, before they came along, invented writing and urban life.
Looking to the casts of Persepolis found it funny to have still the genes of wavy hair after 2500 years! Guess they didn't have a hairiron like me!!!

George Bush: 'God told me to end the tyranny in Iraq'

2005-10-07T09:19:00.000+02:00

This was the title of the article in today's Guardian UK newspaper:
George Bush has claimed he was on a mission from God when he launched the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, according to a senior Palestinian politician in an interview to be broadcast by the BBC later this month.
Mr Bush revealed the extent of his religious fervour when he met a Palestinian delegation during the Israeli-Palestinian summit at the Egpytian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, four months after the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
One of the delegates, Nabil Shaath, who was Palestinian foreign minister at the time, said: "President Bush said to all of us: 'I am driven with a mission from God'. God would tell me, 'George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did. And then God would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq'. And I did."
Mr Bush went on: "And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, 'Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East'. And, by God, I'm gonna do it."!!!!!!!

2005-10-05T23:48:00.000+02:00

It's a long time since my last post in August, in middle of September I travelled for a week to Austria, my sister Nasim wanted to move from Graz to Vienna, so there were lots of work to do, and I helped her a little with packing, meanwhile I made a short trip to Leoben and visited Tina and Gregor (who are expecting to have a baby very soon!)in their new spacious flat with a nice view to the River "Mur" and there I had a nice chat and tasty dinner( which I forgot to ask about salmon's recipe!) with them for a couple of hours.
At the weekend Walter joined me and after helping Nasim & Richard by moving and visiting "Rafaela" the new Baby of my sister in law Sigrid, we used to opportunity being in Austria and spend the rest of the time being in spa and relaxing , coming back to London we took Nasim with us and Richard came few days later , on Saturday I met my friend Aude who is a real art fan and came to London from Paris only because of the exhibition of Frida Kahlo in Tate Modern.So we met at exhibition and I was really surprised after 3 months of exhibition , It was a long queue for buying ticket.
Everybody was touched by looking to the paintings and works of Frida, there were a lots of pain which were pictured with colour and canvas and you could feel it by looking to it!
At the end Aude gave me a souvenir from exhibition a Frida Kahlo mug for my mug collection!
And then we had a coffee with some sympathic friend of Aude.
The next day we took Nasim and Richard to visit Oxford which they liked it very much, by our way we visited the big hobby craft shop and Nasim bought lots of thing for preparing their wedding in June, meanwhile Walter visited the PC world shop next to the hobby shop , and we ended buying a new computer without planning it, however the old one was really old and somehow broken!

Early man goes shopping

2005-08-15T22:19:00.000+02:00

Banksy is known as a Graffiti artist who hangs his art in famous museum and galleries in London and New York.
Fake prehistoric rock art of a caveman with a shopping trolley has been hung on the walls of the British Museum for three days without being noticed!
His Work on gaza wall were also very impressive, Banksy who has been criticised as an as an irresponsible prankster, risked the bullets of the Israeli security services to stencil nine paintings on to the Palestinian side of Israel's separation wall. They included pictures of children digging a hole, breaking through the wall, and another of a ladder apparently going up the wall and over to the other side. Look Uk Guardian for the pictures and more details!

Norway And Denmark

2005-08-05T12:46:00.000+02:00

One month before we got married, Walter, Nasim and me went to Sweden, we loved it so much that we decided to discover Scandinavia further, a year later we went to Helsinki in Finland, and this year we made it to Norway and Denmark.
We flew with Ryanair to Haugesund, and discovered the beautiful nature of Haugeland with its magical landscape - lakes covered with water lilies and hills covered with fragrant wild flowers and snow roses. However, after being shocked by seeing a poisonous rare adder ("Kreuzotter") next to my foot I thought that too much nature is obviously also not so nice!:)
After that we made our way with a bus to a small neat port (Skudeshaven). There we took a ferry and made our way to Stavanger, a small nice city, where we visited the Petroleum Museum. The building was built as a platform, and it was really interesting inside!
From Stavanger we flew with a Norwegian airline in about one hour to Oslo. Walter arranged before that we could stay at Grand Hotel which was a very luxury hotel and situated just in the centre! In this hotel also the nobel prize winners usually stay when they come to Oslo to receive their prices.
I liked Oslo very much, you could see everywhere modern art especially many modern statues.
Another thing that we noticed: There were more small children in Norway and especially in Oslo than in any other capital city I have visted before.
After two days we went further with a big Ferry to Hirtshals in Denmark. The ferry was more and less like a cruiseliner because of it's facilities like big restaurants and bars, swimming pool and night shows!
In Hirtshals we stayed for two nights, the beach was so fantastic and beautiful, I never saw before such a fine white sand, but the weather was a little cool to swim however Walter swam a bit, we walked around and visited the biggest aquarium in Europe there with some cute seals!:)
From Hirtshals we took a train to Aarhus, the second larges town of Denmark where we went to an open air Vikings museum and after that we had a meal in a Vikings restaurant (Walhalla) with a nordic buffet (really good and tasty). We flew back from Aarhus to London and we liked Denmark so much that maybe next year we will go there again!

Good bye Mr. President

As Today is the last day of your 8 years presidency, wanted to tell how I as many other Iranian were Proud that you were our president, however many people think you did not achieved what they expected and criticize you, but in my point of view what is changed during these 8 years is enormous specially by culture and art aspect, with your smile and peaceful attitude, your bright thoughts and your intelligent diplomacy you achieved a lot at International stage.
It is really sad that your time is finished and the thought of your replacer makes it even more difficult!
Thank you for every thing which you have done!

DESPRATION AFTER ELECTION

2005-06-27T21:14:00.000+02:00

There is a general depressive silence in the space after election, you can feel it even at web, many of weblogs are not updated since then.
I thought as many others there is competition between reformism Dr.Moein and fundamentalist Rafsanjani, any way it won't be so bad.
Neither of us thought the conservative could stand at the peak of power again, those grey years after revolution could repeat again, where happiness and laughing were forbidden, where bright colours as red yellow orange, pink were defined as slutty and were forbidden, where dance and music was forbidden.
where young girls were obligated to wear the darkest and ugliest uniform in the world.
Where speaking about love, being in love and making love was extremely forbidden.
Our young generation , our woman, our writers and journalist fought for along time to get back partially of what which was taken from them.
what happened that we went back again, they speak of cheating in result, however it is happened I believe it, I am so tired and fed up with all dirty bloody politic, what should we do now? Take one Look at traffic system and streets in Tehran to know how liable is this new Mr president ex major, however Tehran had once a very good major who made the city look beautiful, he begun from south part of Tehran ( where is the poor part ) made many parks, culture centres, planted every where beautiful flowers and painted all ugly old buildings after all these work where he ended was not the chair of president but he was put in jail!
I do not think that judging by appearance is right but looking at Iranian president and looking to US president I am afraid that our planet will be soon turned to the planet of apes!!

Paris

2005-06-22T21:43:00.000+02:00

For nearly a week we were in Paris mainly because of Air Show which our company had also a stand there,but as our Hotel was situated in centre of town near Notre Dome , we (or mostly I) managed to do easily a lot of sight seeing, we climbed the Eiffel Tower, were at Jardine du Luxemburg and dined with my dear friend Aude,
I shopped at champs-Elysees ,went to Louvre and because of time deficiency looked mostly the Iranian Partthere, remembering what my history teacher at high school said " The most important precious part of Perspolis is not in Iran but in Louvre!" And she was right!
I visited also the Pompidou centre the museum of modern art, I was impressed by the extra ordinary shape of building but honestly I found the most artwork there only hideous and ugly , only a few works looked impressive, but generally the parisians are very tasteful and artistic and that is what you can see in every aspect of general every day life!
The Air Show was also interesting but maybe in my point of view was not very good organized.
At our way back to England , there was a traffic jam(mainly in Air Show area and Paris) that we could not reach our ferry and waited almost 2 hours there for the next one, we were at at 2:30 am at home!

To vote or not to vote?

2005-06-07T22:59:00.000+02:00

As the the Iraninan president election gets closer, there is a big concern for Iranians to get involve in election or not, the group who doesn't want to get involve in election argue mostly that in the system of government of Iran the president has not enough power to perform the desired reforms towards democracy, in the past 8 years of presidency of Khatami most of the young generation who elected him with great expectation where disappointed, however the sweet smile of khatami changed a little the image of Iran in world as the International press described him as mullah with friendly face, but he didn't have enough power to make structural Changes toward democracy, there are stills many political prisoner's in Iran and still many writers and journalist and even webloggers are sent to the prison because of statement of their belief,economically in spite of Iran's big oil reservoir and fortune ,there are still many problems with inflation and unemployment.
But in spite of every thing and against all great odds in my point of view when we don't participate in fate of our country we will not be able to change anything, we should accept the changes would be graduate and needs its time, it is easy and fast to destroy but constructing and making progress is more difficult and slowly.
and as far as I am concerned it is important not to let the conservatives take the power again and win.
On the otherhand the situation did get better in compare to the past and the Iran today is not the same which I left in 1996 , at that time I was a young girl whose basic right and freedom was taken away, and I am not sure if I have had lived in today's Iran I would have immigrated to Europe!

I am looking to find you and tell you something interesting that I just read about, and like the most of the time find you standing near the kitchen's window , looking to the our small garden,
waiting for another thin but powerful sprouts to come out from dark & hard earth,
waiting for another bud to forget modesty & shyness and open as a beautiful flower,
waiting for a little playful bird to eat the grain and seed which you prepared,
and waiting for Fefeli the baby squirrel to come and eat the fruit which you put there.
You love all these moments and I love the purity and tenderness of your soul!

There is always a hot damp in the weather at the end of the May, ,it is no difference where I am , Tehran, Leoben, Athen or even in London.
And it is a kind of pleasant bringing all sweet memories from the past with it, the smell of Roses in our garden, a bright and sunny classroom with unclear glasses,and the voice of the laughs of school girls who try in spite of long,dark and ugly scarves to make themselves beautiful and disobey school rules with a hidden pink lipstick.
There is an image of dark green big leaves of an old tree which looks through the window inside the classroom and a black board which on it's surface is written by a piece of chalk: " where is the home of friend?"

Alanya/Turkey

2005-05-24T10:36:00.000+02:00

As my sister suggested to join her and Rich for a holiday in Turkey , with a price of 250 euro in a 4 star hotel all inclusive +flight, the decision took not longer than 10 minutes and so Walter and me flew on Friday 6/05 to Graz , at the evening we manged to meet our friends Gregor and Tina in Murinsel cafe which had extremly bad loud music so we moved to another cafe!

On Saturday 7/05 we flew to Anatolia with Pegasus a Turkish airways,beside the cheap Price of Ryan air the other advantage is if you fly often with it every other airline feels luxurious!
It took about 2/30 hours to come to Anatolia and there was a bus who picked us up, and brought to our hotel in Alanya,the hotel was neat had a nice swimming pool and was on the beach, for every meal a buffet mostly vegetables and salad was available.
the temperature was about 25 centigrade which was perfect and we swam a lot in the the clear water, one day Walter made us to have a 4/5 hours walk tour to a village near by, the people were very friendly the children gave us flowers and fruit, a mother who was baking bread with her four daughter made us delicious cheese and tomatoes sandwiches with freshly hot baked bread and at our way a woman brought us freshly cut cucumbers and disappeared immediately!
However at the tourist area the people looked a bit greedy and wanted to sell their items even more expensive than in UK in Euro!
At nights there were dancing and music and different kinds of shows at the hotel and we got know some new people and a very friendly homo pair among them.
The seven days passed so quickly and that was time to say goodbye Also the the sun, it is cool and cloudy as usual in London and I still long for a hot summer !

The Breeze of Spring
It is a long time that I did not write in my blog, the reason was that I was too busy but fortunately in a good way.
to have a push and get a motivation for finishing the refurbishment of our flat and , we decided to throw a birthday party for me which in other hand would distract me from getting older!
So we worked hard again and although the job was not completely finished but nearly! It was nice to have a small party with Nasim, Rich, Gregor,Tina , Erik, who came all from Austria !Thank you again for coming!and some colleges of us! We spend the next day in London and in bad weather we managed to see in one afternoon: Piccadilly circus, Bigben ,Trafalgar square, Tower and Towerbridge..
After 8 years in 21st of March Nasim, my parent and me could begin the new years together again in Graz, we were so happy that made us all tearful!
And it was not all on 25 of March my little sister got married with little brother of Walter:)it was a nice celebration however they will make a bigger one next year !

Nasim and Richard our best wishes for a happy marriage again !
But every body should come at last home, so was I after 3weeks stay in Austria, it was so difficult to say goodbye, by seeing your beloved one there is always the happiness which fills your heart but feels so light and than by saying goodbye there is sadness which makes a deep hole in heart and feels so heavy! so I tried the whole of my back flight not let to my tears to flow with concentrating on seeing Walter again.
now I am again in London busy with work and interior design projects, and as it is spring we try to do a lot especially on weekend which we spend by discovering the beautiful nature and using our membership in National Trust which is for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty in England, Wales and Northern Ireland

Dresden a city with Character

2005-03-10T21:52:00.000+01:00

Dresden a city with Character
There are cities which when you visit , you have that strange feelings , you feel that the buildings and streets have gone through different periods of times and experienced a lots of ups and downs and have a lot to tell about their history.
And so I felt as we visited ( rather because of a business meeting )Dresden for 2 days before even Walter told me about the history of the city.
It was bitter cold and was snowing but the landscape from the bridge on Elbe to Frauenkirche was so beautiful as we walked to the centre we noticed that there was a shooting for a film about the second war and the night which Dresden was burnt, the people were dressed as in second war and were running away , the old-timer cars and ambulance and smoke... looked at dark snowy night like a time travel to second war, it is more exciting to be in a film scene rather than watching it.
at second day we visited the tropical Island which was a genius Idea to turn a big bankrupted airport for zeppelin to a tropical Island with two big lake with sand and warm water and many different programs from different countries and a musical from Brazil, I found the Idea extremely interesting and after the cold weather 25 C in island was really a luxury

Baradei empört über US-Lauschangriff

2005-02-20T13:56:00.000+01:00

Dass er mächtige Feinde hat, weiß IAEA-Chef Mohammed al-Baradei schon lange. Dennoch ist der Uno-Diplomat entsetzt darüber, dass die US-Regierung ihn belauschen ließ, um ihn mit belastendem Material aus dem Amt zu drängen. Die Lektion heißt: Wo Amerika mit Diplomatie nicht weiterkommt, sind Dirty Tricks nicht weit.
Was Mohammed al-Baradei, seit 1997 Chef der Internationalen Atomenergiebehörde (IAEA), da gestern in der "Washington Post" zu lesen bekam, überraschte ihn nicht. "Ich gehe davon aus, dass ich abgehört werde und verhalte mich entsprechend", hatte er schon im März dieses Jahres der BBC anvertraut. "Man fühlt sich nicht besonders gut dabei, weil es eine Verletzung der Privatsphäre ist."

Und doch ist der Ägypter entsetzt und empört, wie Vertraute berichten. Der Diplomat hat sich nicht vorstellen können, dass die US-Regierung illegale Lauschangriffe dazu nutzten wollte, ihn aus dem Amt zu drängen - wenn sich nur etwas Belastendes gefunden hätte.

Die Bush-Regierung will Baradei loswerden, das weiß der 62-Jährige seit langem. Der scheidende amerikanische Außenminister Colin Powell, mit dem er gut kann, hat es Baradei schon vor Monaten gesteckt. Dass die USA aber einen diplomatischen Eklat solcher Größenordnung riskieren würden, hatte Baradei nicht erwartet.

Erst war es nur Anlehnung, inzwischen ist der oberste Atomkontrolleur in Teilen der Bush-Regierung geradezu verhasst: Unvergessen blieb etwa, dass er im Weltsicherheitsrat die angeblich so eindeutigen Beweise für ein wieder aufgenommenes Atombombenprogramm des Irak Stück für Stück auseinander nahm. An einem Schwarzen Brett bei der IAEA hing damals eine Karikatur: Eine Ehepaar versprach sich die Treue - bis zum Auffinden der Massenvernichtungswaffen im Irak.

Baradei hörte nicht auf, sich mit dem mächtigsten Mitgliedsland seiner Organisation anzulegen: Die Pläne von US-Präsident George W. Bush, neue, kleine Atombomben entwickeln zu lassen, kritisierte er als Verstoß gegen den Geist des Atomwaffensperrvertrages. Und das Weiße Haus sieht in ihm den Urheber einer Geschichte, die Bush kurz vor dem Wahltag in schwere Bedrängnis brachte: Von der IAEA versiegelte Sprengstoffdepots im Irak waren geplündert worden, weil die US-Armee sich nicht um deren Schutz kümmerte. Baradei weist die Anschuldigungen zurück.

Dass der einstige Präsident der ägyptischen Anwaltsvereinigung so hartnäckig darauf besteht, dass auch die mächtigen USA sich an die Regeln halten, hat ihm in Europa und in der Dritten Welt viel Glaubwürdigkeit verschafft. Aus der einst oft allzu nachsichtigen IAEA, die sich von Schurkenstaaten leicht austricksen ließ, hat er eine hoch motivierte und erfolgreiche Detektivtruppe gemacht: Bodenproben, Wischtests, bohrende Fragen - der einst ein bisschen schlampige und allzu nachlässige Polizist ist ein echter Cop geworden.

Die Zeiten werden noch schwer, prophezeit Baradei. Die Atomkrisen um Nordkorea und Iran sind nicht ausgestanden. Große Sorge macht ihm, dass Terroristen Massenvernichtungswaffen in die Hände bekommen könnten. "Wenn für mich im November 2005 Schluss ist, kann ich endlich mein Golf-Handikap verbessern", hat er unlängst gesagt. Aber solche demonstrative Gelassenheit muss man ihm nicht abnehmen. Baradei, der 1984 als Beamter bei der IAEA begann, will weitermachen.

Er hat erkannt, wie groß in der Welt nach dem Debakel um die angeblichen Massenvernichtungswaffen im Irak das Interesse an einem Schiedsrichter, einem ehrlichen Makler ist. "Die Menschen wissen, dass unsere Arbeit den Unterschied zwischen Krieg und Frieden ausmachen kann", sagt er.

Mit ihrer Kritik an dem IAEA-Chef sind die USA ziemlich allein. Den meisten Staaten gilt Baradei als Glücksfall an der Spitze der Atomenergiebehörde. Auch die Bundesregierung hat dem IAEA-Chef schon Unterstützung für eine erneute Kandidatur zugesagt.

Alle Versuche amerikanischer Diplomaten, Unterstützung für Gegenkandidaten zu organisieren, sind bisher gescheitert. Weder die beiden von Washington genannten japanischen Diplomaten noch der australische Außenminister Alexander Downer würden bei einer Kampfabstimmung gegen Baradei siegen können. Die jetzt enthüllte Bespitzelung wird Baradei nur noch mehr Sympathien eintragen - seine Ablösung droht für die US-Regierung endgültig eine mission impossible zu werden.

Mehr Abstimmung und weniger Konfrontation hat Bush in seiner zweiten Amtszeit versprochen. Der Abhörskandal lässt eine andere Schlussfolgerung zu: Wo Amerika mit Diplomatie seine Ziele nicht durchsetzen kann, muss weiter mit Dirty Tricks gerechnet werden.

Shirin Ebadi: Attacking Iran would bring disaster, not freedom

2005-02-19T11:35:00.000+01:00

Condoleezza Rice has given assurances that a military attack by the United States on Iran "is simply not on the agenda at this point".

But notwithstanding Rice's disavowal, recent statements by the Bush administration, starting with President Bush's State of the Union address and Vice President Dick Cheney's comments about a possible Israeli military attack on Iran, are reminiscent of the rhetoric in the months leading up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

And Rice herself made clear that "the Iranian regime's human rights behaviour and its behaviour toward its own population is something to be loathed."

American policy toward the Middle East, and Iran in particular, is often couched in the language of promoting human rights. No one would deny the importance of that goal. But for human rights defenders in Iran, the possibility of a foreign military attack on their country represents an utter disaster for their cause.

The situation for human rights in Iran is far from ideal. Security forces harass, imprison and even torture human rights defenders and civil society activists. The authorities attack journalists and writers for expressing their opinions and regularly shut down newspapers. Political prisoners languish in jails. Superfluous judicial summonses are routinely used to intimidate critics, and arbitrary detentions are common.

But Iranian society has refused to be coerced into silence. The human rights discourse is alive and well at the grassroots level; civil society activists consider it to be the most potent framework for achieving sustainable democratic reforms and political pluralism. Indeed, readers might be surprised to know how vigorous Iran's human rights organisations are. Last autumn, when security forces unlawfully detained more than 20 young journalists and bloggers because of what they had written, independent Iranian organisations like the Centre for Defence of Human Rights, the Association of Journalists for Freedom of Press, and the Students Association for Human Rights campaigned for their release.

This outcry, in tandem with support from the international community and organisations such as Human Rights Watch, led to the release of detainees. In fact, so great was the criticism that some of Iran's most senior government officials came out in favour of releasing the detainees.

Independent organisations are essential for fostering the culture of human rights in Iran. But the threat of foreign military intervention will provide a powerful excuse for authoritarian elements to uproot these groups and put an end to their growth.

Human rights violators will use this opportunity to silence their critics by labelling them as the enemy's fifth column. In 1980, after Saddam Hussein invaded Iran and inflamed nationalist passions, Iranian authorities used such arguments to suppress dissidents.

American hypocrisy doesn't help, either. Given the long-standing willingness of the American government to overlook abuses of human rights, particularly women's rights, by close allies in the Middle East such as Saudi Arabia, it is hard not to see the Bush administration's focus on human rights violations in Iran as a cloak for its larger strategic interests.

Respect for human rights in any country must spring forth through the will of the people and as part of a genuine democratic process. Such respect can never be imposed by foreign military might and coercion - an approach that abounds in contradictions.

Not only would a foreign invasion of Iran vitiate popular support for human rights activism, but by destroying civilian lives, institutions and infrastructure, war would also usher in chaos and instability. Respect for human rights is likely to be among the first casualties.

Instead, the most effective way to promote human rights in Iran is to provide moral support and international recognition to independent human rights defenders, and to insist that Iran adhere to the international human rights laws and conventions that it has signed.

Getting the Iranian government to abide by these international standards is the human rights movement's highest goal; foreign military intervention in Iran is the surest way to harm us and keep that goal out of reach.

A KISS FROM SUN IN MADRID

2005-02-06T13:55:00.000+01:00

We were for two days in Madrid, the weather was not so cold and mainly it was sunny, and by our walk through the city I felt the caress of sunshine on my cheeks.
However I prefer Barcelona to Madrid, but I liked it and it remembered me on Tehran the high buildings, the sky and the mad driving:)!And the Modern art Museum was also hilarious!

What the Iranian people say to Bush

2005-02-05T13:09:00.000+01:00

On Wednesday, Addressing the Iranian people, Bush said: "As you stand for your own liberty, America stands with you."

And what we the Iranian people say to you (Bush)is:

We are not stupid as yourself we know you don't care for liberty and freedom
We know the smell of our oil and wealth makes you like a mad and rabid dog who wants to attack.
We have seen what kind of democracy you brought to Iraq and Afghanistan.We have seen all those Pictures of injured and killed innocent people and children from your clusters bombs.
We have seen it that now there is no security in Baghdad and the shadow of death covers the whole city.
We have seen how the foreign oil companies plunder the wealth of country and the people fight for their survive.
Maybe we did a mistake that we had our revolution and wanted Khomeini as our leader as the Americans did the mistake again and chose you as their President!
But it was our mistake and we paid enough for it, we do'nt need any interruption from outside, We the people of Iran stand for freedom but also we are against any transgression and we will defend our home against any offensive country!

2005-01-29T21:19:00.000+01:00

A friend writes me she is very upset about all these threats against Iran. I speak with my sister - she feels angry about this, and I myself am so concerned and sad, and remember how the war began against Iraq .
I remember all those people who cried and shouted at demonstrations "Don't attack Iraq"!
All those young people who came from France for the weekend to London and participated in antiwar demos and showed their disgust for war "No blood for oil".
But the illegal war began and I remember again all those terrible pictures from injured and dead children and innocent Iraqi People which mostly were not published in the Western press.
And now, two years after the begin of the war, only 17% Iraqis - mostly Kurds - are satisfied with the new regime and people are suffering because of shortage of water and electricity. Oil companies - similar to vultures - plunder and sweep the wealth of country.
After all this, considering that Iran has large oil reservoirs, the US accuse now Iran for developing nuclear weapons and play RISIKO with the World map!
I feel angry, but hearing to "Ey Iran*" rises the hope in my heart. Wwill not let the enemy destroy our country!

*"Ey Iran" is a famous Iranian song. The lyrics was written by Hossein Gol-e-Golab in 1946, and the music was composed by Ruhollah Khaleghi.
Gol-e-Golab was inspired to write the song by patriotism. He has been quoted to have said: "In 1944, the footsteps of the invading armies in the streets were enough to rattle any patriot and inspired me to write this anthem. Professor Ruhollah Khaleghi wrote the music and despite all the political opposition, it found its way into the heart and soul of the people."

Oh Iran our jeweled country
Your land is the wellspring of art
Let the thoughts of the devils be far from you
May your lasting be eternal
Oh enemy if you a rocky stone, I am the iron
May my life be sacrificed for my pure motherland
When your love became my calling
My thoughts are not far from you
In your cause when do our lives have value
May the land of our Iran be eternal
The stone of your mountain is jewels and pearls
The soil of your valleys is better than gold
When will I rid my heart of your affection
Tell me, what will I do without your affection
As long the turning of the earth and the cycling of the sky lasts
The light of the Divine will always guide us
When your love became my calling
My thoughts are not far from you
In your cause when do our lives have value
May the land of our Iran be eternal
Iran oh my green paradise
Lighted is my fate because of you
If fire rains on my body
Other than your love I will not cherish in my heart
Your water, soil and love molded my clay
If your love leaves my heart it will become barren
When your love became my calling
My thoughts are not far from you
In your cause when do our lives have value
May the land of our Iran be eternal
Listen to ey IRAN:http://impact.users.netlink.co.uk/namir/sorood.htm

The Scream

2004-12-01T18:00:00.000+01:00

"I was walking along the road with two friends.
The sun was setting.
I felt a breath of melancholy -
Suddenly the sky turned blood-red.
I stopped, and leaned against the railing, deathly tired -
looking out across the flaming clouds that hung like blood and a sword
over the blue-black fjord and town.
My friends walked on - I stood there, trembling with fear.
And I sensed a great, infinite scream pass through nature."
Edward Munch 22 January 1892
It was about august that I heard "The Scream" is stolen, not like in movies with many tricks and acrobatic maneuver but very simple:Two masked thieves pulled the work and another painting, Madonna, off the wall as stunned visitors watched on Sunday.
One robber threatened staff with a gun before the pair escaped in a waiting car.
as I head the this news I was very sad and still looking forward if it could be find again
Munch didn't have an easy life and with this painting on canvas with tempera and pastel he managed to show the fear and terror in all human existence.
This Picture has been popular especially since World War II.
The "scream " was a gift to humanity, a gift for all those tears which never find their way to flow ,for all suffocated screams in throats and for the all who suffers.

Xmas versus Noruz

2004-11-25T14:38:00.000+01:00

Ich gehe entlang Oxford Street in London, schaue die Schaufenster an und suche mir was Schoenes aus.
Obwohl bis Weihnachten fast einen Monat ist, sind die Strassen mit Lichtern und Christbaeumen dekoriert, man spuert die ganze Xmas Atmosphaere, und ich denke daran was ich dabei mag und was ich nicht mag. Ich mag dieses kaltes bittere Wetter nicht, aber ich mag den Geruech von Gluehwein, den es vor allem auf Weihnachtsmaerkten in Osterreich gibt, und ich mag den jaehrlichen riesigen Christbaum bei Walters Familie mit den Berg von Geschenken darunter, die innerhalb ein paar Minuten alle ausgepackt werden.
Ich mag die Lichter in dunklen eiskalten Naechten.
Aber alle diese Freude spuere ich nie so tief in meinem Herz, wie wenn ich an Noruz (das persische neue Jahr) denke, das mit dem Beginn des Fruehlings zusammenfaellt. Wie alles vorher sauber gemacht ist und wie alle (besonders Kinder) von Kopf bis Fuss am ersten Tag von Noruz neue Kleider anziehen, und wenn man raus kommt alle Fenster und Menschen glaenzen.
Und obwohl ich jedes Jahr die Haftsin (sieben Sachen) des Nuroz symbolisiert auf dem Tisch setze: Sieben Sachen, die auf Persisch mit s beginnt und symbolische Bedeutung haben: Sib (Apfel); Sabse (selbst gemachte Sprossen), Seke (Muenze), Sonbol (eine aromatische Blume); senjed (ein Obst), Somagh (Gewuerze); Sir (Knoblauch) plus Spiegel, zwei Goldfische und einen Koran.
Aber zwischen Christbaum und Haftsin da ist viel mehr, das ich vermisse,
Ich vermisse das kleine Maedchen, das nicht warten konnte, ihr neues rotes Samtkleid und ihre neuen roten Lackschuhe anzuziehen.
Ich vermisse dieses Maedchen, das mit ihre juengeren Schwester das ganze Haus nach versteckten Geschenken und Kuchen durchsuchte.
Und ich ich vermisse das juenge Maedchen, das erst 19 geworden ist und zum ersten Mal die Schmetterlinge der Liebe im Bauch fuehlt, im Garten auf der Schaukel sitzt und eine sanfte Brise spuert, die Blueten von einem Apfel Baum auf ihren Rock bringt und sie feiert mit der Brise und den Blueten sein Laecheln zu ihr.
Ich bin jetzt am Ende der Regent Street und ein gruener weicher Pullover im Schaufenster von Mango bringt mich ins Geschaeft.

Danke

The HEADLINES:
Iranian MPs approve uranium bill
Iran denies claims it wants to build nuclear weapons
No result at Iran nuclear talks

Fresh talks with European negotiator on Iran's controversial nuclear program's have ended without agreement
The FACTS:
Under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, a country is allowed, under inspection by the IAEA, to enrich uranium to a level needed for nuclear power.
The NPT was an agreement opened for signature in 1968 under which those countries with nuclear weapons at the time (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France) were allowed to keep them but agreed not to give them to anyone else.
And several nuclear-weapons capable states - Israel, India and Pakistan - have not signed up to the treaty so they can develop weapons. Another, North Korea, has withdrawn from it.

In my point of view generally the nuclear energy should be replaced by clean source energy like wind and Solar energy anf if they are not so economically there should be enough funding for research ( instead of money for the war) to make them economics
But I am wondered under which cover of moral the countries who owns nuclear weapon are allowed to keep them?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the other point is who takes the chalk and divide the earth to good and evil part and under this circumstance The good countries who have nuclear weapon themselves make it forbidden for a country like Iran which is situated on evil axis(!) to enrich uranium even when they say it's only for peaceful purpose!
An when other evil country like North Korea says they are developing nuclear weapon the good countries prefer to be quite.
On the other hand when countries like India and Pakistan that even are not members of Iaea, there is no sign of crises , but how sure are the good (!)countries that tomorrow the friendly regime of Pakistan won't be in hand of ISlamic extremistwhen they feel so being threated by them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Needed to be comforted by your warm voice

Than I remembered that I can't reach you any more by a few steps.
And now I wish the distance which separates me from you would only remains in miles

You laughed at me and didn't know with how much anxiety I stole the apple from the neighbor's garden,
The Gardner ran after me
Saw the apple in your hand
Looked at me angry
The bitten apple fell from your hand on the dust
you went away and since then there have been years but still the voice of your steps teases me and I am drowned in my self-conceit why our house didn't have any garden.

"Turtles Can Fly "

2004-11-04T19:16:00.000+01:00

"Turtles Can Fly " that was the film title which I saw with Walter in London Film festival this Iranian movie which was admired recently in a film festival in Madrid is to represent Iranian cinema in the Oscar Academy Award competition.
The film based on reality was about Kurdish Iraqi children which not only their childhood is stolen from them but aslo have been handicapped by mines and cluster bombs , It was really sad to see that these children work in mined area for surviving and earn money and gather the mines with risking their lives or being armless or without feet for a whole life.
Bahman Ghobadi the regisseur answered the questions of the viewers at theend of the film he told as Kurd was he happy that Saddam is fallen however we shouldn't forget which countries supported Saddam and end the Saddam regime was also possible without military inruption and that so many innocent lifes would be sacrificed.
And those who terrorize the characters of people trains Terrorist!
And now that the Oil reservoirs of Iraq are plundered by foreign companies the Iraqis have accepted that their fortune would be stolen from them and hope they do it at least without pouring blood and taking the arms and feet of their children.
But surely the Oil companies are not the only one who want make profit there are also weapons factories whowant to make a fortune and need therefore wars and pouring blood

Once upon a time there were people who loved graet dictators!
.....................Once they adored Hitler as their"Fuehrer"!
.....................Some steps further on the earth, they praised Stalin!
.....................Some times later, they obeyed their lifelong president Saddam Hussein

And nowadays these people elect Bush world's number one terrorist as their President!

What is the matter with these people , are they conservative and narrow minded or just simply naive and believe what is demanded from them by the system to believe?
Before election,
I saw one of our company business partner who wanted to vote for Bush because he didn't want to pay more taxes!

I read about Cuban Americans in Florida who wanted to vote for bush because they didn't like Fidel!

I heard about some Iranian Americans who wanted to vote for Bush because they didn't like the Mullahs!

and I even heard about young boys who were sympathized to Bush because his daughters seem to be more sexy than kerry's daughters!
And so the hollow world is made from our shallow minds!
And all these remembers me on my childhood story book about a competition between a wise and honest man and an illiterate and swindler man,the villager asked them to write the word "snake", the wise man wrote clearly on a piece of paper snake, and the swindler drew on a paper the picture of a snake and ask the people "now justify it by yourself which one looks like a real snake?"
And because the people were all illiterate they believed the swindler and hit the wise man and threw him away of their village!
