Mass Abstention of Seyyed selection in Iran will happen

Some 21 million Iranians are eligible to vote in the Friday run-offs.

No one but the Seyyeds and Basij will vote.

Wipe out vs Obliterated

"While it is reasonable to warn Iran of the consequence of it continuing to develop nuclear weapons and what those real consequences bring to its security, it is not probably prudent... in today's world to threaten to obliterate any other country and in many cases civilians resident in such a country," he said.

Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, should really have pointed this out sooner. It is so embarrassing to see a seasoned politican, such as Hilary Clinton, who raves on about being so much more experienced, making a comment like this, just to get conservative votes from would be McCain supporters.

We Iranians have now gotten used to politicians throwing the name of Iran, and misrepresenting Iran. Obviously one is lead to believe that both the "Obliterated" comment will be seen along side the "Wipe Out" comment from now on. But would you think that Clinton is as irresponsible a person as that Seyyed poodle in Iran?

UN rules remove Seyyed missiles

Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak said Iranian companies were ordered out of the Defense Services Asia show Tuesday because their exhibition was deemed "offensive."

"Unfortunately, when we came around to inspecting their stand, they displayed equipment that clearly contravened the UN resolution - equipment such as missiles and missile systems and others," Najib told reporters.

Najib said the exhibit was in defiance of UN resolutions that ban Iranian arms exports and forbid countries from providing Iran with technical and financial assistance that could contribute to its alleged nuclear weapons program.

It is with great thanks to UN and the Malaysians that we Iranians that have a peaceful nature have to look up to. We cannot fight these monsters in any other way but through the application of International Law, until decent ancient laws of Iran come back.

Does Anxiety Lead People to Religion?

An intriguing new vein of psychological research, however, does show that religion can act as a buffer against existential anxieties. Mike Friedman and W. Steven Rholes at Texas A&M University have shown that when Christian fundamentalists are shown inconsistencies in the Bible, those who acknowledge them become more anxious, compared with fundamentalists who maintain the inerrancy of the Bible.When asked to complete a number of word stems such as D E _ _, for example, fundamentalists who acknowledged the contradictions in their faith were more likely to reach for the word DEAD, as opposed to DEER, DEBT or DEED.The connection between faith and anxiety seems to run in both directions, in that increased religiosity predicts lower anxiety, while higher anxiety causes people to cling ever more tightly to their faith. Thomas Pyszczynski at the University of Colorado once found that when Islamic students in Iran were made to feel anxious, they were more likely to gravitate toward fundamentalist religious claims -- and endorse religiously motivated suicide attacks against the United States

It seems to make a lot of sense to me.

Seyyeds' minister in parting shot at Ahmadinejad

"Mr Ahmadinejad and I did not have common views on some issues," he told the Shahrvand Emrouz weekly in an interview."I was critical of the policies which caused money supply growth," Danesh Jaafari said

Some people are coming to their senses at least. Seyyed economics is a load of rubbish.

China keeps Seyyeds alive

In 2004, Iran agreed to sell a Chinese corporation $20 billion worth of natural gas per year for 25 years - representing the world's largest natural gas purchase. By 2007, China had become the largest trading partner of rogue states Iran, North Korea and Sudan, and the second-largest of Burma and Zimbabwe.

This is a quite well written article on what a monster China has become.

Moaning Iranian Professor

The reality is that 70% of Iranians are less than 30 years of age, many are Internet-savvy, glued to satellite television and have very little toleration for the Islamic utopia promised by their leaders when the evidence of national decline is apparent everywhere.

http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/story.html?id=456102

And yet another Iranian Professor complains about Iranian misrepresentation in the Press. That is exactly why one should call these despots Seyyeds. They put their allegaince to Islam first. And so the west recognises them as Iranains.

So the best thing to do is to kick out the Seyyeds from the UN until they have their own country, somewhere in southern Iraq.

Seyyeds desperate for oil deal

The head of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), Seifollah Jashnsaz, suggested in comments carried by Iranian news agencies the two energy groups only have until Friday to decide on whether to invest in the giant South Pars field.

This guy at the head og NIOC is desperate. What are his credentials anyway? The world knows better than to deal with people who did not follow the UN. Soon the UN will throw the Seyyed representatives out. OPEC should do the same. There are much better Iranians outside Iran who are not religious fanatics and can get on with the rest of the world. So please do not do business with these people until a non violent regime change pushes the Seyyeds to Iraq next to their religious centres.

Iraq and U.S. to pressure Iran with diplomacy, force

"The Iraqi government now understands more clearly what they (the Iranians) are doing. They will put diplomatic pressure to bear on Iran. That's a good thing," Hadley said on the "Fox News Sunday" television show."In addition, we will continue to do with Iraqi security forces what we've been doing for some time. We will go after their surrogate operations in Iraq that are killing our forces, killing Iraqi forces."We will disrupt their networks by which they move fighters, weapons and funds in and around Iraq. And we will cut off as best we can the flow of fighters, weapons and arms into Iraq," he said

So the bait is set for the Seyyed fighters to be sucked into Iraq and meet their fate.

U.S. losing credibility over Iran

It turned out to be another in the series of Bush administration big talk that time exposed as hollow.

http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=680408&category=OPINION&newsdate=4/13/2008

I tend to agree with that view. The US administration promised so many Iranian Americans, that it would deal with the Seyyeds, but it never did. This is now so obvious, that most Iranians see a collusion between the Seyyeds and the US.
