		<description>Alireza, I don&#039;t know about quantum leaps but I know some people in Iran care so much about their country that even under this unbelievable and inhuman dictatorship they do anything to improve the conditions of life of their people. Certainly, these are not Khomeinists and Hezbolies because those animals only steal from and murder the people. To me if a nation is not free, it doesn&#039;t matter how advance in certain areas of technology it become. Remember Soviet Union always and also NK has nuclear bomb, so what? IRI can&#039;t be more advance than them. Certainly there is no new industry developed by Khomeinists worth consideration. The only thing they have done is either destroying the existing industries, or enhancing them in certain areas. That means nothing new at all. In 30 years they haven&#039;t been able to build a single refinery, whereas they inherited 10-15 of them which were built with almost no money in comparison to today oil income over the last 15 years of the previous government. Now, it is a bazari / backward and bizarre economy and a semi-Kuwait / SA / Dubai in terms of importation. But in their case mostly Chinese junks some of which are poisoning Iranian people literally. 

MAJARITY OF Iranian don’t want this  REGIME AND WANT TO CHANGE IT ALTOGETHER FROM AN INHUMAN RELIGIOUSLY ORIENTED CHARLATANISM TO A MORE HUMAN ORIENTED SYSTEM WHERE STATE AND RELIGION ARE COMPLETELY SEPARATED. To demonstrate the ability of Iranian people and smartness in their struggle for freedom just watch this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHR1_4SNXFM&amp;feature=player_embedded#t=60

The chants are:
1)Down with Russia (while a Basigi from the government is chanting Down with US / Israel).
2)Mir Houssain – Ya Houssain (for opposition leader Mir- Hossaini)
3)Long Live Montazeri, Saneie (for their opposition to Khamenehi)
4)Our Shame, Our Shame is our Mullahs Broadcasting (Radio / TV)
5)Long Live Karoobi (Another opposition leader)
6)Until Ahmadinejad is president, you will see these demonstration everyday
7)No to Gaza, No to Lebanon, My life is for Iran
8)The government of Coup d&#039;état, resign, resign.</description>

		<description>Kourosh, thanks for the video. Very meaningful. 

Yes I agree that to non-Iranians everything is about oil and nuclear power and that’s about it. Human rights and what to do in protecting Iranian people from wild animals does not fall into any of their charters.

Yes, Iranians inside Iran have ALWAYS ALWAYS relied on their own to help their country and making it better. That is why I find more sanctions will allow Iran to get better with its own sources and abilities.

I visited Iran 4-5 times since the revolution. In every visit, I was AMAZED and shocked to go to various Industrial and commercial shows in Tehran and see how impressive Iranian industries have made quantum leap improvements from years before. 

Yet, others are thinking about blocking fuel to Iran or other low-IQ and low-INTELLIGENT alternatives to address Iranian problems. 

And more shocking is that these people are PAID salaries, pensions and retirement money and so much money to f…ck anything and everything. Then many of them end up writing books (the more they caused damage, the more money they make) and pass their sh..t load to the next and on and on.</description>

		<description>Reading comments posted by Roger Cohen gives me hope that indeed there are COMPETENT and TRULY smart and objective people out there who are able to provide light at very dark moments in crisis. 

His today’s article in NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/28/opinion/28iht-edcohen.html?_r=1), I hope, will be seriously looked into for implementation. 

Anything short of that will indeed causes more hardship for Iranians, Americans, Israelis and the whole world. Yes, it looks like people are more into feeling good kind of actions vs. REAL SOLUTIONS to help the situation.</description>

		<description>Just as BBC and VOA trying their best to portray Iranian uprising against Mullahs and Khomeinist as something not important, Iranian themselves are busy making their points any which way they can. Iranian have concluded all outsider voices are noise and they need to be filtered. Iranian believe as evident by actions of the Obama et. al being more concern about pleasing Chavez and his kinds, no one gives a damn about their struggle for freedom, and all outsider care is about oil and other economic consideration. Here is an example of &quot;Iran Day&quot; or &quot;Ex-Ghods Day&quot; demonstration. On the left side of the screen are anti-Khomeinists and on the right are supporters of Supreme thing. Judge it for yourself.

		<description>As I read the article published by NY Times here:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/26/world/middleeast/26intel.html?hp

and W. Post here:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/25/AR2009092502227.html?hpid%3Dtopnews&amp;sub=AR , 

I’m having a sick feeling that even Obama’s policy toward Iran and basically handling the Iran case is moving, God-forbid, very similar to Iraq fiasco. As I read between the lines, I wonder if these current leaders are truly able to digest diverse amount of information and then making sense of them to truly handle this crisis or not. 

I’m sensing immaturity and other incompetencies may cause serious failures. Unless portraying such immaturity is part of a large creative and smart plan to move forward, we are going toward very bad ending. While Bush had 10X more incompetencies, in dealing with Iran, even 1X amount is sufficient to cause disaster.</description>
