I first came to this site, then called Persian Gulf Soccer, in 1997, when I was a totally different person than who I am today. And after many hours of posts, debates, and simply reading others views, it's time for me to move on. I wanted to thank you all for your views and contributions to this...

Mark Twain once said that "History never repeats itself but sometimes it rhymes." And so I don't see the current events as being a repeat of 30+ years ago, but they do seem to rhyme. My question to the older members here is what does the current situation rhyme with? Is it the early 70s, mid...

I'm surprised at how the protests and demonstrations became stronger so quickly. I expected the point that was reached at Ashura to happen by perhaps 1 - 2 years from the (s)election. Looking forward to 1 year from the (s)election, or 6 months from now, I'm just wondering what you guys think...

1) regime is divided, while Shah was united for the most part and didn't have an active resistance from within his ranks the way the reformists have now broken away from the regime 2) population of Iran was 35 million, now is 75-80 million, and thus a smaller percentage of people need to come...

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB126118381849697953.html We should never forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice. They'll go down in history as heroes of Iran, examples to aspire to. God Bless Dr. Pourandarjani. :ess-cry:

Whether in this protest or previous ones, you never see a pro-Poop rally that's comparable to the protesters. With the exception of "joojeh basij" kids there's hardly any actual ideological pro-IRI fans in the streets. The closest to a rally by the "63%" was in Poop's "victory" speech where he...

2000: Khatami was President, Clinton was still President(the good ol' days of surpluses and 2% unemployment), the Majlis was reformist but the "Guardians" rejected bill after bill that would've reformed Iran, and Iran was in a sort of stalemate 2010: Poop is President, but everybody besides...

at least to all those in the States, have a great 4-day weekend and don't stuff yourself too much :D or get too drunk :cheers:, after all, you need to save yourself a little for New Years :smile: This is probably the best holiday here in the US, not as commercialized as Christmas and definitely...

I had a dream about this last night and woke up a little worried. In my dream Iran kept rejecting the proposals in the negotiations and then after that process Israel goes ahead and attacks Iran nuclear sites. Who knows, it might've just been a reaction to the news like Iran's war games and...

First of all thanks for coming back. I hope Liberator comes back as well and we value your voices. My question to you is this: Let's say that Iran changes and people vote for a Republic over a Constitutional Monarchy. And then in this Republic, there's a Presidential election. In this...

http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/11/05/neda.mom.speaks/index.html Neda's mother: She was 'like an angel' (CNN) -- The night before she was killed on the streets of Tehran, the woman the world would come to know simply as Neda had a dream. "There was a war going on," she told her mom the...

Personally I'm a little confused, I don't know where the movement is heading. On one hand I think that perhaps the regime has stopped the Green Movement and is clamping down hard, that the Poop Coup Crew is inching closer to full dictatorship and power. On the other hand, I see that the younger...

http://www.rferl.org/content/Khamenei_And_The_Student_/1864962.html Several Iranian websites, including the official site of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have published details of an unusual encounter between Khamenei and a student who publicly criticized the Iranian...

Yesterday Rio de Janeiro was selected to be the host of the 2016 Summer Olympics, only 2 years after Brazil hosts the 2014 World Cup. I remember reading that Tehran had been selected in the late 70s to be the host of the 1984 Olympics. Obviously, the Olympic Committee decided to change it after...

1) both are based on an extremist ideology 2) both have hero-worshiping of divisive leaders 3) both have sold out Iranians, with MKO selling out Iranians to Saddam, and IRI selling out Iran to Palestinians/Lebanese, Persian Gulf Arabs like UAE on the name of the Persian Gulf and economic...

I'm sorry I was an asshole to you guys in the past, but seriously, please come back. Instead of banning the likes of Ashtar, Reza, etc.. I think we should have the monarchist views here as well as the hizbollahi views. To be honest I think both are a minority that together wouldn't be more than...
