I heard the news last week from Ali Reza Khorshidi ( He played for Homa and
Iranian National team).  I did not know Parviz Agha personally,  but
I have played football with many people who did know him ( Nayeb Agha,
Khorshidi, Mehdi Ghazal, etc....).  They always had interesting stories
about Parviz Agha and they all have high respect for him.
His death is a great loss to all Iranians.

May his soul rest in piece.

And finally, if all above measures proved ineffective, we shold execute
all unmarried males under 60 years old, solve the problem once and for all
and start importing children from Bangladesh.

>I think Mr. Rajavi's tongue must have grown hair by now. He has been

Here is two quick explanations for you, Siamak:

First, Mr. Rajavi's statement indicates nothing but his
committment and determination as well as his high hope.
That by itself is admirable specially when we see so
many so-called "opposition leaders" giving up their fight
and returning to their "normal" life. (In other words,
saying good bye to their conscince, struggle, and
whatever revolutionary values they once had.)

Second, according to all existing documents:

	* executions and other forms of repression (e.g.,
	harassing women and arresting 113,000 them in one
	year) has substantially increased in Iran during
	last 2-3 years.

	* economic situation is deteriorating and has only
	worsen. Inflation is high; unemployment is high;
	the gap between rich and poor has widen, etc.

	* social problems (e.g., drugs, addiction, poverty,
	prostitution, suicide) have increased dramatically.

What do all of these imply? The akhoundist regime is unable
to solve any of social/economic problems and can only
survive by repressive means. A regime that survives thru
repression (and war mongering) is doomed to be overthrown,
hence, the meaningful statement by Mr. Rajavi: ``the mullahs
are on their way out and will definitely be overthrown.''

Satan, don't blame others for failing your class.
It was God's will. Remember, if you continue
doing what you are doing, you will be kicked
out of univ of Houston and will go directly
to mehrabab where a golden pas gardani is
awaiting you, not to mention people from
nakhost vaziri who have copies of all your

this planet, we shall recall you.

Hi Shams,

        I have nothing to say on the topic on which you are discussing with
Deepak, But your above line (Which I have underlined) is very offensive.
For example if I am involved in a debate with Mr. X from Pakistan and
suddenly I pass a comment like,"You are from the land of Idiots, known
to us as Pakistan",would you like it? Be honest. Hope you don't repeat
this type of mistake again.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

First of all, I'll never be in power even if you didn't try to stop me.

Second of all, what freedom to people have today that they can lose?  They
can't say what they want, believe what they want, think what they want, eat
what they want, drink what they want, or even wear what they want!! So even
if I did get to power, there would be no freedom for me to take away! The fact
is, you and I are both enjoying freedom here on this network.  I can't send
you to jail for your opinions, and you can't send me to jail for mine.  To me,
this is the most important thing in life, and without this we are just a bunch
of mobile corpses.  We DON'T have this right back home, and I wish we did.

Thirdly, I wasn't the one who took Satan off the network.  Even so, I didn't
miss him one bit, and he was just background noise.  His return of course, 
means a decrease in the "signal to noise ratio" of sci, but that's another
story. I hardly call mouthing off at everybody and advocating genocide and
calling people "koskesh" and saying your parents engage in incest and flings
"expressing your opinion".  A person starts mouthing off when he/she can't
find a way to say what is on his/her mind.  You of course, are such a strong 
believer in "morals and family values", and should be the first to oppose
such actions.  But then Jimmy Swaggart talked a lot about morals, etc,
and seemed to not mind having affairs.  Now who does this remind me of???
hmmmmm ......



With even higher regards,

Agha Javad

having the opportunity to create my own factories, and having the opportunity
to help the needy to ease their pain.

Presidency is too much work and responsibility for me.  However, this does not
mean that I should not express my opinions about these subjects.  As I said
before, these opinion are just suggestions and should be reviewed by people
who have more related knowledge and experience than me.

Subject: U.N. Decries the Khomeini regime again
Organization: University of Nebraska at Omaha
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 1992 20:25:52 GMT


 
During its Forty-Seventh Session, the U.N. General Assembly
condemned the Khomeini regime for its flagrant and persistent
violations of human rights in Iran. The resolution against the
Khomeini regime was sponsored by twenty-three countries (including
the Japan and U.S. for the first time) and was approved by a record
vote of 83-16 with 34 abstentions. Thanks to the intensive campaign
by the Resistance representatives world-wide, many Arab (e.g., Egypt
and Algeria) and Asian countries voted in the favor of the Resistance
and many others abstained. Fifteen countries (such as Bangeladish,
Pakistan, and Sudan) sided with the tyrant Khomeini regime. (For
those who may not know, all countries participate and vote during the
sessions of the U.N. General Assembly which represents the world's
highest body.)

Following the adoption of the resolution, Mr. Massoud Rajavi, the
Leader of the Iranian Resistance, addressed a message to the heroic
people of Iran (broadcast by _Voice of the Mojahed_). Congratulating
the Iranian people, Mr. Rajavi said: The adoption of this resolution
is, firstly, a decisive international judgment confirming the
mullahs' regime's illegitimacy and irreformability and reaffirming
the righteousness and legitimacy of the Iranian people's just
Resistance for peace and freedom.

The Leader of the Resistance added: This resolution, the strongest
ever adopted by the General Assembly, the world's highest
international body, affirms in no uncertain terms that so long as the
mullahs' regime is in power, mass killing, torture, and executions in
Iran and export of terrorism and fundamentalism abroad will persist.
Mr. Rajavi stressed that the time has come for the international
community, particularly the U.N.  Security Council, to seriously and
expeditiously consider a binding resolution imposing an arms and oil
embargo against this regime, as an effective measure to counter the
repression in Iran, and the export of fundamentalism and instability
in this sensitive region of the world.

The Leader of the Iranian Resistance added: Through their extensive,
nationwide demonstrations and protests, the people of Iran have
rejected Khomeini's faltering heirs in their totality, paying the way
for the mullahs' certain overthrow by the National Liberation Army of
Iran. The world community,. therefore, must expel this medieval
regime from the family of nations and transfer Iran's seats in world
forums to the democratic alternative of the National Council of
Resistance of Iran.  Mr. Rajavi said: Let the world know that the
mullahs are on their way out and will definitely be overthrown, and
that the noose of inevitable change will continue to tighten around
this dictatorship's neck.

to have good family values.  You still advocating that Iran should open it's
door to free sex!

Well, I guess Koran said it right on the sorah "kaferon":

Tell, all non believers:

"You do not believe on what we believe, and we do not believe on what you
believe.  You follow your ways, and we follow ours."

You go ahead expose yourself to all the diseases in the world, and we

My dear Mr. Ni shit,

Where are you from ? If you are a Pakistani, or Pak/American, I am willing
to form some level of communication with you on this matter. However,  if
you happen to be a Indian and as your name suggest, Hindu, than I can only
ask you to refer to the general name Calcutta is known as in the developed
world.

As far as Pakistan "nation of idiots" is concerned, than I must say 
Pakistan has its share  of idiots, just like every other country. So,
yes, please proceed you can do much better than idiots, I am sure....

However, in case you are an Indian, than if you donot have anything good
or constructive about Pakistan, please take your skinny black indian a**
right back to SCI, where it originally belonged.

First of all, the issue of `Hejab` is one of _many_ ways that women are discredited
in Iran. I don't care what reasons you have to explain the theory bahind `Hejab`. 
IT IS NOT RELEVANT. The fact is women are _forced_ to wear `Hejab`, and that is
discrimination against the women's most basic right. But it does not end here,
a woman's signature being worth half of a man's, a woman getting half of their father's 
inheritance, .... ,and now a woman selling her body under a pre-historical islamic 
amendment(sigheh), are just a few other angles to the woman's current position in Iran.

We have a long way to go in technology and humanity. We need every young and fresh
mind to work for our country, and yes that inludes females!  If we continue to
treat more that half of our population (women) this way, us men have to work
twice as hard and twice as long. It just doesn't add up. 

Am I the only one that feels this way? 
It seems to me that we are overlooking a serious issue here.
