Seemingly these days third world has come to accept the rules of engagement, and now they actually do the biddings of the first, and second world economies without any interventions from the latter! Prey tell when a foreign force makes incursions into the territories of a sovereign nation, what is the government of that nations’ response to be? 1- Thank the invading hoards for such an excellent invasion? 2- Be grateful for the invasion, and the anointments of the foreign boots on its’ soil? 3- Look the other way, and hope the invading hoards will not be there for long? 4- Role over and play dead? Did it ever cross your tiny mind that, the incursion was only an attempt in prodding, and probing the responses of the Iranians? Further, has it ever occurred to your endless bounds of intellect, those unsophisticated first and second world morons whom believe in their own superiority, are in dire needs of an enemy to keep their tenuous grips on their power? There has always been an enemy, and the policies of the political classes of the first, and second world would come to naught without any enemies! In fact upon vanquishing all the Earthly enemies, there remain the extraterrestrial enemies to be fought! Iran has oil, and so long as the oil is there, Iranians are doomed to be subject of negative attentions of the international brigands whom under the auspices of democracy, human rights, and freedom will endeavour to steal and plunder that oil. The very human rights, exhibited by the torturers in Iraq, whom after gouging out their victims’ eyes, severing their limbs, carefully hand over to the victims their extricated body parts, before shooting these unfortunates dead! (You can validate this in most of the respectable media including Guardian) There is a war brewing up, after all when they can steal the oil for nothing, and Halliburton can steal the American tax Dollars without any inconveniences of getting caught, while likes of Cheney get away with swearing, and uttering profanities at those who raise any objections, Iran offers a wonderful opportunity! The up and coming war is not going to be a picnic, further this war is not a choice of third world, but a path forced upon them. The fact that these blindfolded, and captured soldiers only indicated the resolve of the Iranians would never cross your mind; after all you are all too concerned with the image! Never mind the fact that every little orphan, and hungry child in Iran and elsewhere in the thrid world going without are subsidising the first, and second world economies to grow even stronger, and exploit their assets better than before! The question is are you going to roll over and let the invading hoards to take what they seek, or are you going to stand and be counted by fighting these? From your posts, and saying that you are the editor, cook, chief and bottle washer, I have very little notions of this post remaining long on this site!

WISH YOU WERE HERE NOT Sir, days ago here was this argument going on that how proud we should be of our nationality and culture and sttuf ... and some accused someothers of not being patriotic and optimistic enough when underlin some unpleasant facts... and this question remainded without anybody bothering to answer that "what is left from that mythical persia once we read about in some questionable books?".And then,right out of the blue, their last masterpiece was on, all over, up and down the news world. what is left is me whose nationality is repeatedly coming out of the news reporter's mouth along with the images of blindfolded british soldiers who are sat next to each other prepared to play another shamefull game conducted not by a bunch of crazy islamist group of kidnappers or any AL-QAIDA related but ,surprisingly, by the authorities calling themseves politicians who sadly are happend to represent our iran and iranians. And the worst is to see all this coming throughout a TV channel called AL-'ALAM which is entirely,visually and phomenicly, in Arabic and reminds any viewer of nothing but a disgusting AL-jazira look-alike TV channel trying to represent uc as a part of arab population. PERSIAN STUDENTS were supposed to do somthing more serious than putting a photo of a guy doing that by a road on the way to I don't know where... in persian: ahle kashanam amma /shahre man kashan nist / shahre man gom shode ast / man ba tab man ba taab, khaneyi dar tarafe digare shab sakhte am
