I do not think helping Americans date an Iranian girl is justified.

Big Mack,
	Friday is moslems' holy day. Much like the sabbath in Judaism
(Shanbe in persian, which incidently has been derived from it's hebrew
ancestor "shabbat", that has semitic roots and not persian.)
    Iranian culture, with it's moslem adherence, as well as having a
pre-islamic heritage is
influenced by both cultures. ( Although one must admit that islamic culture
was never the same after the invasion of Persia by the moslem forces which
consisted of tribal warriors of the arabian peninsula. for instance a Hungarian
historian denotes in his book (mohammad payAmbari ke az no bAyad shenAkht),
" if one took away the impact that the fall of persia had on islamic
culture, only the arab would remain with his camel  and poetry." ( by
arab he means the arab tribesman of pre-islam, thus no offence is intended to
any race or nationality)).

      Not withstanding a major divergence from the subject, like many other
cultural aspects of post-islamic Iran, the days of the week also bear a
bi-lingual as  well as a bi-cultural signature. Another example would be the
hejriye-shamsi calender:
the hejri part references our islamic heritage were as shamsi portion
denotes the solar based calender used in persia before islam.
	At the end as an Iranian I would like to express my appreciation for 
both cultures and unlike the sentiments are so frequently sensed on the SCI
that over emphasizes the persian aspect and belittles the islamic one,
I take pride in both my persian and islamic cultural backbone.

 This is really sad to me to see someone who turned his back on his own 
country by throwing away his Iranian citizenship, something I am proud to 
say I still have even though I have lived here for over 18 years, now cry 
about not being able to go back! Bo hu, bo hu hu hu! You may think that 
your not a sell out, but you are. What made you do? A stupid American ho? 
Your Jewish boss? Who, who! If you want to go back to Iran tear up your 
worthless American citizenship and get your original Iranian one. Trust 
me, then you won't have any problem going back.

     Q:  Has the Defense Department registered opposition to the sale of the
chemical plant to Iran?
     A:  That's basically something that's in the interagency process, which
puts its off limits for me to discuss.  I think the generic statement, we
have...  What we focus on in DoD and our concerns are about whether sales
include the potential for dual-use of technologies and licensing and other
agreements that would prohibit the technology transfer to third countries.  But
in terms of specifically where we are in the interagency process, I'm not
allowed to discuss that.

     Q:  But it is a fact that they've asked for this, and it is in the works.
I mean you're not denying that?
     A:  The things that are in the process basically are off limits for me to
discuss, so I can't confirm or...

     Q:  You can't even confirm that...
     A:  No.  Commerce has the lead on these things, in terms of managing that
process.

     Q:  You have registered some type of input on the issue?
     A:  What I've said is, this is what we would look at in terms of our role
in the process and what our concerns are, what I've stated here.  I'm not
confirming whether a specific deal is being discussed or that kind of thing.

Ba Drood:

A while ago, I posted a summary of one of the book that had a big
influence on the Iranian Constitutional Revolution in 1906.  "The
Adventures of Hajji Baba Ispahani" was the one and today let me
elaborate on another book that did the same influence in the beginning
of the 20th century.

"Siahat-Nama-yi Ibrahim Beg" or "The travel Diary of Ibrahim Beg" was
the first attempt of writing a Persian novel on the European model. 
This book has three volumes, 1st came out in Cairo in 1905, 2nd in
Calcutta in 1907, and 3rd in Istanbul in 1909.  The first two volumes
have no authors name and from start the government banned the book and
severely punish people who had excess to this book.  But people got more
interested and they were so eager to read this book since then.

Finally in 1909, the name "Hajj Zaynu'l-Abdin" of Marageh (a city east
of Azerbayejan) appeared as the author.  He was a merchant residing in
Istanbul.  With this introduction let me go over the book.

The book is about a Tabrizi merchant's son born and brought up in Egypt.
 Having imbibed from his father an education and patriotism and a
fanatical love of his country and its old civilazation.  Ibrahim Beg, in
accordance to his father's will,  go to Iran accompanied by his tutor.

By contrary to his anticipation, he finds the place so often described
by his father as "Paradise" full of wretchedness, poverty, and
oppression.  These he records in the pages of his travel diary with the
wrathful indignation of a passionate and disappointed patriot, where
every absurdity and injustice that came this way.  He misses nothing:
the arbitrary power and evil practices of the shah's entourage, vizirs,
and senior officials torture and extort money from people; the
backwardness of the country, seen in the total absence of law, justice,
and order.

Doostan, Ba Poozesh Faravan, I have to go to a meeting.  Let me continue
this story tomorrow.
