My posts (what there are of<\/a> them<\/a>) about Dr. Ahura Pirouz Khaleghi Yazdi have drawn lots of attention from googlers and no wonder. When you put his name into the search engine this blog is only one of five sites that comes up (at the time of this posting). One would think a man who intends to free Iran<\/a> on October 1, 2004 by flying 30 chartered planes<\/a> filled with Iranian dissidents into it would be getting lots of attention (you can view his National Press Club conference here<\/a>). The fact that his conference and claims are being virtually ignored, coupled with the information that he’s been awarded a contract to provide air service from occupied Iraq to the U.S.<\/a> and boasts of ties to DynCorp, leaves me wondering what the silence itself means. At least the Bush administration should be asked to give their opinion of this business partner’s mission.<\/p>\n

I’ve been looking for Iranian bloggers who might be expressing their thoughts on him and this proposed trip. If you’re reading this and have information or opinions on the subject know that many people are interested in learning more and would appreciate links, etc…<\/p>\n

While searching for new voices I came across a blog entry<\/a> that could have been written by a lot of Americans I know regarding the upcoming November election.<\/p>\n

Elections; bullshit!<\/p>\n

Nobody I know is gonna vote, yet nobody seems to care.<\/p>\n

I have learned long ago to give up reform and care about myself. Why not? <\/p>\n

Who?s more important than me? I mean, my fathers cared only about themselves, didn?t they?<\/p>\n

If they hadn?t been so selfish, we could have had something at least similar to a semi democracy.<\/p>\n

And you know what? Democracy is even more dangerous. What if the majority decide to vote for more Mullahs?<\/p>\n

So, you see, this is how I learned to stop worrying and care about myself. And myself only.<\/p>\n

cheers<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Democracy. Bit of a paradox, isn’t it. Mostly a sham.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
