Who's side are the Iraqi leadership on?

Here we go, it is about time that GW Bush started to get annoyed with the Iraqi leadership.

Bush, holding a pre-vacation press conference, said he was not surprised at pictures showing cordial meetings between Maliki and top Iranian leaders in Tehran but that he hoped the prime minister was delivering a tough message.

Iran's White Revolution vs Seyyed Revolution

Here is a good video on the major differences between the Iran that was, and the Iran that is.

India and the Seyyeds

In the link below, we read that the US is suddenly now beginning to lay on some serious pressure on what I believe is the root of the problem.

Ask any Iranian why we have all these problems in Iran, and they will blame it on some Arab. But the fact is that Khomeini was brought up and educated in Lucknow, and that is where you get all the hoo haa, whenever someone insults the Islamic world.

The Economist and me

Last week I got an email from The Economist to review an article the had published. I noticed that, what they wrote was the usual boring synopsis of the recent events, with no solutions. Wiki was better reading. I gave the author my blunt remarks and never got a reply.

Well guess what? In this week's Economist they are going on about non violent resistance. But still they managed to put a cynical comment like this.

Indeed some Iran-watchers believe the president's efforts to promote change have helped the regime to quash even those reformers who have no foreign links. “It puts a target on the back of every dissident,” says Afshin Molavi, a writer on Iran.

Non-violent protest | They shall overcome—but perhaps not always | Economist.com

When will they ever learn. Iran, like all other nations, has to non violently change. It has to start with peace, so that it never turns into violence. And even if it did, the people who turned it to violence will be mistrusted.

The people of Iran will go on General Strike, and no one can taint it, be they the liberals that defend the Seyyeds, by stating on their behalf that the US is behind the strikers. Fact is that the US wants the Seyyeds to be enemy number one, and to keep the people of Iran under pressure, and more importantly under developed.

What would the US, EU and Far Eastern companies do with new competition from new products from a new modern Iran? It has the best location, the best mineral resources, and a young population that can build it, and bring it to the glory of ancient Iran that it had, before the Seyyed ancestors ever came around again in 13th Century AD.

Iranians have already wiped out the Seyyeds from their minds. The rest is just a matter of time, and the Nowrooz Spirit will keep the peace as we all march on.

Iran needs an Alan Freed

Call me a nutter, whatever, but I believe that Life expresses itself with strange coincidences.

So here I am right now watching a film called Mr Rock N Roll, The Alan Freed Story and I just read this story on my wifi pda, at the same. Is Life trying to connect something for me?

"Most of those arrested are wealthy young people ... who came to this party with the goal of attending a provocative, satanic concert" daily Tehran-e Emrouz quoted a senior police official, Reza Zarei, as saying.

So what can Iranians do when they want to feel free with music? They go underground. They duck and hide.

But why can't the youth of Iran, and the musicians encourage them to go for a General Strike and paralyse Iran.

OK so we do not have people like Alan Freed, but why not? There must be plenty out there.

C'mon Iran, you have the best Spirit, and overwhelm the Seyyeds ugly anger, with the Nowroozi Fire.

Why don't more media in the west report this?

The photo below only appears in JPost.com. And most Iranians are very suspicious of Israeli media. So why don't more media, everywhere report this?

An Iranian civilian opposed to the Islamic Republic's regime made contact with the Israeli news website omeida.co.il, Channel Two reported on Wednesday.

The Iranian sent the website footage of police apparently beating opponents of the regime, including pictures of a bleeding woman who was allegedly protesting the strict dress code in Iran.

Iranian Journalists can topple the Seyyeds

One of the most famous Iranian Journalists Amir Taheri writes:

Next week, these workers will confront President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's administration through a series of one-hour strikes designed as a show of solidarity with imprisoned trade unionists.

I must say, it is rather rare to find Amir really getting practical, and writing about the resistance movement in Iran. For so long he used to make the Seyyeds look far worse than they really were. Finally he is encouraging the nonviolent resistance movement. He is not reciting the history Rome this time, thank goodness. Well done old chap, about time.

So less defeatism, more positive thinking along the lines of General Strikes, and maybe we Iranians will find our way of of this mess. We need every journalist inside and out of Iran, to write about the benefits of bringing the whole country to a halt.

People should question the strength of the Seyyeds more against passive resistance. Some should ask the public figureheads "what will you do if you did not get your bread tomorrow?" The recipie has worked for so many other countries, and it will work for Iran.

But we must keep our calm, and let the Spirit of Iran keep us bound together with our peaceful attitude. We can take the Seyyed anger and not resort to violence.

Well done The Germans

Deutsche Bank AG has informed US under secretary of the treasury Stuart Levey that it will no longer do business with the Iranian government, Spiegel magazine reported without saying where it obtained the information.

How Seyyeds in Iran help the US arms business

US readies arms deal with Saudis, eyeing Iran: official

You really have to wander, how the US foreign policy, is such that, in demonizes the Seyyeds, so that it can make money selling weapons to Saudis, and put defensive equipment in Eastern Europe.

I have always believed, that without the threat of USSR, USA is using the Seyyeds instead. Somehow we have assume that they are on par with each other.

If the US media collaborated with the modern Iranians inside and outside Iran, then their views would control the Iranian media more and facilitade peaceful non violent change. However that is something which would bring Iran out of being a nasty pariah state.

Sanctions will work Mr Hamilton of the Independant

But the the people they don't hurt are President Ahmadinejad and his conservative religious supporters, who find their position strengthened by foreign threats and who are largely immune to them.

Adrian Hamilton: A new foreign policy should start with Iran - Independent Online Edition > Adrian Hamilton

He is so wrong. Fact is that if the Chinese decided to follow the US line, then sanctions would bit the Seyyeds. If you read more, you will see how writers like Mr Hamilton just use the situation in Iran to vet their anti-US anger to the world.
