As I said before, I do not have any special feeling about Iowa.  Just,

>1) It was Iraq that in Sept. 1980 strated the war.

Only if you are being disingenuous.  Actually Khomeini started the war by 
attempting to instigate an overthrow of Saddam.  I shouldn't have to say that
I don't like Saddam, but I will say that from a purely military point of view,
he probably did exactly as he should.  His power was threatened, so he
attacked.  

>2) It was U.S. that during the war and even before that backed Iraq.

Actually the Soviet Union backed Iraq for at least 20 years before the US
played any kind of role at all.  You will never hear me defending US
interventionism, but let's have a little balance here.  No one on this netnews
ever refers to the Soviet war of genocide against the Afghans for example.
Saddam was a total puppet of the Soviets for years, Khomeini simply made it
expedient for the US to get involved because of his radical stupidity.

>3) The U.S. reason for doing this was to control Iran.

This I believe, but whether or not it is the US controlling Iran, someone
probably should do something about a government that will put out a public
death threat against a man for exercising his right to free speech.  

You have no idea how I spend my time defending Iran to moronic Americans who
can't acknowledge anything good about your country--but then I have to put up
with Iranians defending their own inherently moronic government.  I like the
fact that the US can't really get its claws into the middle east, it's too
tough to handle, but it really would also be nice if the middle east would
stop appointing insane and repugnant men to government as well.

Indeed.

Give it a break.  Iran got itself into trouble by supporting a madman, only to
find itself in bigger trouble with (perhaps) a worse madman.  The Iranian
people pissed away the lives and souls of their little defenseless children.
Let's not even talk about such sin and shame.

You work for the government?

There is no defending US interventionism, and I never have done so.

Dear Babak, I am afraid that you mix up Kasravi and (Siavash) kasraai!
The Aarash poem which you called BULLSHIT and none intellectual is
a work of kasraai and not Karsrvi (Probably you hate him too?!)

It is good to get familiar with recent persian literature before hating
it!

Have you confirmed this with the Interest section?  You can get an 
Iranian Passport (just show your old one) from the Interest section
even if you are Citizen. From Iran's point of view you can never renounce
your Iranian Citizenship, (good or bad :-). You will have to fill out a
form describing why you became a citizen.  If it was on any ground other
than Political Asylem, it should be OK.  Many people get citizenship
to be able to bring their parents over, and also for travel reasons.
(Last time I wanted a transit visa on an Iranian passport from Madrid,
it took over 1 month).

Lots of Nops.  I would have thought Masoud needed to use an alias and you
sir, the tough macho Green Card only Iranian would not have to use an American
name such as "Jelly Belly". (Do you go around telling people you are from 
Turkey, Greece, or Italy?)

I do not think that we are here to provide with Americans the way
to date Iranian girls.  I just do not think this media should be
used in this manner.  This is only one person's opinion.  I've

I do think that IRANI girls ARE too good for Americans.
But again I am talking about IRANI and not so called Persian-Americans.
In general I am against dating and casual relationships.
It seriusly contradicts our culture.
This, I know, is not only MY opinion.

They say "better late than never".  I have been so quiet, minding my

like a bat out of hell, critisizing me on not one but two points.

Rowland Evans and Robert Novak recently wrote an article which appeared
in the Jan. 18, 1993 issue of the Washington Post entitled "Clinton's
Focus on Iran". In it, they claim that Bill Clinton recently wrote a
private letter of support to Rajavi and that Democrat Lee Hamilton
recently met with U.S. Mojahedin leader, Mohaddessin. They claim that
support for the Mojahedin is part of a Clinton plan for the
"democratization" of Iran.

In the Jan. 22, 1993 issue of the Iran Times is published an analysis of
this article and the evidence (entitled 'Clinton-Gore allied with
Mojahedin'). The Iran Times article notes the following:

******
A source close to Gore told the Iran Times the vice president was not
supporting the Mojahedin or any other Iranian exile party or movement.
He said Gore signed a letter last fall that was circulated by the
Mojahedin to express his concern over human rights violations in Iran
and not to provide any endorsement for the Mojahedin.

A spokesman for Hamilton said an appointment with the congressman had
been requested by a group of "Iranian professionals" in his Indiana
district. The spokesman said Mohaddessin showed up at the meeting to the
surprise of the Hamilton staff.

Another Capitol Hill Democrat who is critical of the Mojahedin dismissed
the premise of the Evans and Novak column. "They are trying to say that
a meeting communicates an endorsement. That's ridiculous. Democrats like
Hamilton and Gore sit down with Republicans everyday; does that
constitute an endorsement of the Republican Party!"

"These are politicians in a democracy, which means they meet perpetually
with people holding all sorts of views. That's what democracy is all
about. If the Mojahedin don't understand that, maybe they don't
understand what democracy is all about."

In a separate article in the Iran Times it is noted that Australia has
agreed to pay $329,000 in compensation for a Mojahedin-e Khalq
Organization attack on Iran's embassy in April. Three embassy staff
members were beaten in the incident.
