Where does this guy live?!
Mr. Mostafa Hashemitaba, the former vice president and head of Iran’s Physical Education Organization (Sports), who was also a candidate for presidential election in Iran at 2001 and got the worst result, 0.1%, has recently stated in a TV interview that he’d want IRR20,000,000,000 (approx. $2,200,000) as his salary to become Iran’s Football federation president.
Mr. Hashemitaba is the one having a cup of tea. (Don’t know who’s the one in left!!)

The issue is that this sort of wages for such positions are like a dream. Even if someone becomes a candidate for a football federation, it’s because of the position and future connections.
According to UNICEF’s 2007 report, GNI (Gross National Income) in Iran is US$2,700 (approx. IRR25,000,000). And as a Guess; He’s asking for about 50 times more than the current salary.
I think we should really thank God that he didn’t get any serious positions after the above mentioned one.
Side Affects Continues …
I was reviewing Sunday’s newspapers and saw this picture on “Sunday Daily Mail”:

The fact is that the British Government, Royal Navy and its Sailors really faced a bad shock on their honour.
Well, I’m getting more confident day by day that Iran was the winner of this crisis and showed that it’s the number one power in the Middle East.
UK went to Iran’s water, they knew it. If it wasn’t so, why would they give up this easily?
All Empires have an expiry date; whether it’s the Persian Empire with its 48 nations, or it’s the United States with its 50 states and few puppet countries
| “ | Here was a source of great fear to us.So formidable does the Sassanid king seem to our eastern legions, that some are liable to go over to him, and others are unwilling to fight at all.” | ” |
This was written by the Roman historian and public servant, Cassius Dio During the battles between the Sassanid Empire and the Roman Empire (27 BC - 476 CE), which caused such pessimism in Rome that the historian wrote like that.
The Persia (Iran) geographical map during Sassanid Empire (224 - 651 CE) was as follow:
This map shows that the Persian Empire used to cover many current Middle Eastern and Central Asian countries including the whole Iran itself, Iraq, Kuwait, Turkmenistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Israel (Occupied Palestine), UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Yemen, Oman, then most of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Lebanon, Kyrgyzstan, Egypt and finally a part of India, Kazakhstan, Russia, Libya and Saudi Arabia.
I want to mention that all enormous empires have existed one day and have expired few days after, this is an important lesson from world’s history. Babylonian Empire, Egyptian Empire, Persian Empires, Roman Empire, Chinese Empire, Arab Empire, Portuguese and Spanish Empires, British Empire, French Empire, German Colonial Empire, etc. These were all before the 20th century. Even the 20th century’s empires such as Nazi and Soviet Union are gone now. And today it seems the only empire - if you could call it so - is the United States of America.
I’m not going to write further today, but just to say that as a historical rule; USA’s time will come sooner or later, but if the next American presidents follow Bush’s “Avarice Policies” and behaviours with gunboats, phantoms and tanks in the name of democracy, that will make United States’ time approach faster.
Paradoxical Warriors
Are you looking for a nasty democracy?!
USA wants Iran to lose before the game starts!
The main purpose of U.S. and Iran’s negotiation being held is about suspending or continuing enrichment.
Now if Iran accepted the American’s pre-condition of suspending enrichment, it means Iran would have been defeated already, even before the game starts. This is like before sitting at a chess table your opponent asks you to put all your pieces out except for one pawn; otherwise he doesn’t start the game at all.
I’m surprised that many people seem to be not getting this simple logic …

The Aussie Prince of Persia
Its official now that the 19 year old Australian actor, Charlie Clausen is casted for the role of the Prince in the movie “Prince of Persia: Sands of Time”. The highly anticipated movie will hit the cinemas in December 2008.
I think Charlie Clausen could look Persian (Iranian).
Sarkozy is just a French version of Bush
Conservative Nicola Sarkozy and Socialist Segolene Royal win through to the run-off of France’s presidential poll.
Tell your Iranian friends that voting for Sarkozy means a very close French foreign policy to that of the United States under Bush. Sarkozy was against Chirac on his decision not to join the Iraqi invasion, as he was equally against Chirac’s policies during the Israeli attack on Lebanon. If one day the US wants to attack Iran, Sarkozy would definitely comply with it.
Iranian Sea instead of Oman Sea! (?)
I read an Article on an Iranian website suggesting to Iranians to use Iran Sea or Iranian Sea instead of the Oman Sea (Gulf) which is the correct term.
Their argument is that because the Arabian countries are trying to change the true historical name of the “Persian Gulf” to the fake name of “Arab (Arabian) Gulf” or sometimes “the Gulf”; therefore, Iranians should not be defensive, but offensive.
It is interesting that when you Google Arabian Gulf, all top top search results give Persian Gulf or explain that Arabian Gulf is not a correct phrase.
However, I think Persians (Iranians) shall not start calling Oman Sea Iranian Sea or anything in place of its original name. Wherever, whatever, however, altering the history and its facts with false expressions isn’t an acceptable humane act and will not last.
Definition for Disnefication
I posted a cartoon few days ago on my blog, using the word: Disnefication (Disneyfication). I received few comments and emails asking me what this means.
Well, let’s define it then:
Disnefication is the process of the Walt Disney corporation (generally Hollywood’s sub companies), taking an event from actual world history or a traditional stories, and altering it to the point where it becomes a harmless movie, specialised for making more money, or most of the times for political and cultural purposes to attack another country, religion or culture.
Well, the movie 300 is a good example of it. Anastasia, Sleeping beauty, Prince of the Persia, Robin Hood, Balto, etc. and etc.They have absolutely raped the history on these movies!
