Nowrooz with Kiarostami's 'Iranian Carpet'
Let me wish you a wonderful Iranian new year (Nowrooz) by presenting you a lovely little video, made by Abbas Kiarostami, as part a film titled 'Iranian Carpet', produced by the Farabi Foundation. Watch it and think of Dick Cheney or Hilary Clinton in comparison with the nation that has produced both this carpet and this filmmaker. A little pathetic our American friends look like, don't they?
This year, we will see how those Iranian carpet flowers are going to win over those American bunker-busters.

Comments
No one would deny that Iranian carpets are beautiful but there is nothing more than a remotely mediocre, if even that, film making talent in this person. There are many, many Iranians who would like to see the current regime be replaced by one more suitable to the day and time we live in and less full of empty rhetoric. Perhaps then the really talented, intelligent and educated Iranians would return to their country.
