Internet yearns to be free in Iran

Here is my Op-ED in the
San Francisco Chronicle yesterday. This is my first piece in american papers. I hope to have more chance to make more stories and comments.
here is the first paragraph of this Op-Ed:

"The Bush administration claims it is promoting democracy and human rights across the Middle East. But for those of us in Iran who are fighting for these basic freedoms, the White House's policy is doing more harm than good.
When President Bush labeled Iran as part of "the axis of evil" in his 2002 State of the Union Address, his comment caused shock as well as outrage in Iran. Understandably, we found it insulting for our country of nearly 70 million people to be considered evil en masse..."

BS as usual!

Make up your mind dude!

Once you say you dont want their support and seconds later you ask for their support!

hehehehe... another BS from a state-run reformer.

any how, without the US/EU pressure on the Mullahs you wouldnt be able send your BS to a left wing newspaper like SFchronicle.

learn to read more about the politics before writing any thing

Bush talks about the Iranian Government when he categorizes Iran as the axis of evil.

Don't get your panties in a bunch thinking he is talking about individuals. I think he is desperately looking for democratic revolutionaries, like yourself in all Middle East Despots.

Congrats on being published on the biggest lefty newspaper in our country. You could run for Mayor and be elected in SF, just because you're from Iran, and you could probably convert them all to Islam in a week!

I have enjoyed reading your posts, thank you

The best thing out of the many I love on your blogs is your information. It is easy to read, and up to date. I do not speak english, and sometimes I can hardly understand a sinle thing on other blogs.
