Economist does a song and dance. They were the first to put Batebi on their cover with the title "Iran's New Revolution", then they turned staunchly pro-Reformist movement because of a journalist named Guy Dinmore.

Guy Dinmore was actually very critical, until one day he become very critical of Iran's opposition instead of the regime.

He came to the US to meet with the NIAC (a civic group Iranian-American group that receives tax-exemption, which is vastly critical of opposition movements, President Bush, and Iranians seeking Secular government, most people believe they're funded by the Islamic Republic).

He lost vast credibility when he did that.

Thank you, freedom. It is good to know what made Dinmore change. I will remain disappointed, however.

It seems like such a simple thing to ask: just the facts.

"The same man could enter one parliament as a good Muslim but be excluded from the next as a bad one. The present Speaker of the Majlis, a mullah named Mahdi Karrubi, was prevented from standing for election in 1994 because the "guardian angels" regarded him as a bad Muslim. By 1998, however, he had become a good Muslim once again and allowed to stand, was elected, and became Speaker. Next month he may, once again, become a bad Muslim and be kept out of the Majlis even if voters choose him."

LoL. Taheri's editorials are getting fuunier all the time. ..............

Tongue in cheek humor, here, but... wouldn't this give you an inferiority complex? Good, bad, good, bad...

"Khatami, for example, has become a master in the art of ambiguity and double-talk. When addressing the Europeans he talks of reason and science and cites Aristotle and Hegel. But when talking in Iran he claims that women should cover their head because their hair emanates a dangerous ray that drives men wild."

Ya can't make this stuff up......LoL

"And the daily newspaper Jumhuri Islami (Islamic Republic), owned by the "Supreme Guide" Ali Khamenei, has published an editorial implicitly calling for Mubarak's assassination. It says: "The great Egyptian people are fully capable of seizing the Islamic leadership over the Arab world. Naturally, Mubarak's revolting presence is an obstacle to that goal. But the followers of the martyr Khaled al-Islambouli know well how to remove this ugly cancer."

LoL. They're crazy!

Sure, we'll take the sign down, and replace it with this :

"Intifada Street." "The new name shows our commitment to the destruction of the Zionist state and the rejection of all peace deals with [Israel]," said a Foreign Ministry spokesman."

LOL. If they only knew what source of laughter they've become........

Hey, think they had a sale on those suits??
LOL.
They're all dressed alike. LOL
Not much originality in that group!
A reflection of their thought processes, perhaps?
