Today in London the US secretary of state Dr Condoleezza Rice announced that attacking Iran is “not on the agenda at this point in time."
Yesterday the US President George W Bush, in his 2005 State of the Union address put: "to the Iranian people, I say tonight: As you stand for your own liberty, America stands with you."
But one has to just simply look at no warhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09618581777741949736noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10510577.post-1107580007530370792005-02-04T20:28:00.000-08:002006-05-10T12:23:18.656-07:00Please!Ali Moazzami

WAR DESTROYS LIVES ON BOTH SIDES.
My second entry on this blog was inspired by Jahanshah Javid's photo essay about Bush's speech on Iranian.com. In one of the captions, Jahanshah says that he felt helpless as he watched Bush speak, knowing that a war on Iran is on Bush's agenda. I share Jahanshah's feeling of helplessness. That is how I felt when I no warhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09618581777741949736noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10510577.post-1107551735839194432005-02-04T13:12:00.000-08:002006-05-10T12:24:08.086-07:00The Importance of Iraq DestinyOmid Memarian*
Iranian intellectuals and scholars are traditionally against the United States policies especially in some arenas like obstructing in the process of liberalization and democratization. They mention many examples of US interfere in some countries which have strengthened this thought.

“Today, Iran remains the world's primary state sponsor of terror—pursuing nuclear weapons while depriving its people of the freedom they seek and deserve.

I sit in front of my computer and connect to internet; the Persian blogsphere is announcing of the probable attack of the USA against Iran. There are some petitions to stop this thinking of military invasion, this one to UN General Assembly and this one to George W. Bush.

As I am starting to write this piece, it occurs to me that it is rather absurd to write about the evils of war in this day and age. Maybe it is because I am a historian, but I really thought we all have gotten the idea that war, or military action, really gets us nowhere. Haven’t we all seen those films about wars and massacres?

A few friends on this blog have taken different approaches and provided their reasons for opposing war. By expressing their concern about the inevitable loss of lives, and by questioning the intentions of a U.S. attack on Iran, Parastoo and Omid have taken strong stances against the possible war on Iran. These are all good reasons and I certainly agreeno warhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09618581777741949736noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10510577.post-1107210187927664202005-01-31T14:23:00.000-08:002006-05-10T11:59:17.790-07:00War is not welcomed any moreParastoo Dokouhaki*

It's not welcomed any more. I mean the war.
Am I anxious? -Yes, I am!
Look! 16 years of living in safety after passing 8 years of war with Iraq has not been gained simply. Iranians achieved it by passing all the difficulties. And at the same time, they've looked for the ways toward democracy.
Democracy? -Why not?

Iranians have been suspicious of American intentions since 1953, when an American backed coup ousted the popular and democratic leader of Iran, Mohammad Mossadegh, in favor of a dictator, Mohamad Reza Pahlavi, who remained in power with US support, until the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Even with the passing of over 50 years, the Iranian public remains no warhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09618581777741949736noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10510577.post-1107120030487700472005-01-30T13:20:00.000-08:002006-05-10T11:58:10.426-07:00About this weblogThis weblog is dedicated to the Iranian people who are against a military attack on Iran.
