An understatement.
Dear ,
it seems that Iranian.com is a little bit biased..
dear,
take a look at the "polls" taken by Iranian.com
[url]http://www.mashregh.com/poll/iranian/archives.php?poll_id=87&l_page=2[/url]
There are very biased "results" such like those saying that "Reza Pahlavi would be worst than Khatami", "Israel's plan is an injustice ", "Shirin Ebadi is the Iranian of the year" and...."the French law which bans the headscarf in the public schools is a very bad idea"
What Iranian.com stands for??
Is it owned by pro-Khatami NIAC??
It paints the Iranians in a very wrong way..

New Iraq Government Accuses Iran And Syria of Backing Insurgents
July 04, 2004
Telegraph
Damien McElroy in Baghdad
The new Iraqi government will publish damning evidence this week linking foreign powers, including Iran and Syria, to the Muslim extremists and loyalists of the former regime who launched a bloody rebellion after the fall of Saddam Hussein.
Hoshyar Zebari, the foreign minister, told The Telegraph that the interim government had gathered intelligence detailing the support provided to insurgent groups by some neighbouring nations.
Although he did not name the countries, senior Iraqi officials indicated that Iran and Syria were the worst offenders. The accusation that governments in Teheran and Damascus have been aiding the insurgents could create an immediate diplomatic crisis for the Baghdad administration that assumed power only last week.
Insurgents had benefited from financial support, logistical assistance and training from neighbouring government agencies, said Mr Zebari. Baghdad also believed that up to 10,000 foreign spies and undercover agents had infiltrated the country since last year's war.
He even indicated that Iraq might not oppose attacks by American troops based in Iraq on neighbouring states if they were backing the insurgents.
"Since we started to look at the security situation, we have seen how foreign governments have been helping terrorists," said Mr Zebari. "Why they are doing it we cannot say, but we know where the support is coming from. We have plans to put this before the public within days and it will have substantial impact."
He said it was important for the new government to prove that it was in the "driving seat" in defending Iraqi security, despite the probable diplomatic fallout from such a step. Some neighbouring countries, he said, had written off the new Iraq, branding the prime minister, Ayad Allawi, and his ministers as American and British stooges.
"Foreign support for terrorists is ongoing, very risky and very dangerous," he added. "But it will backfire on those governments. A stable and peaceful Iraq is a better neighbour for them."
Powerful elements within Iran have been backing radical Shias in Iraq, including supporters of the militant cleric, Moqtada al-Sadr, who has played a prominent role in the insurgency against the US-led coalition.
In a further signal that Iraq's new rulers will take a tough line with hostile neighbours, Adnan al-Assadi, the deputy interior minister, told The Telegraph that hundreds of former Ba'athist officials, who had fled to Syria, were supplying funds and volunteers to the resistance.

I don't think it's owned by the NIAC, i just think that it's got a very diverse group of people on there. That poll about Khatami, Reza Pahlavi, and Khamenei was really surprising. As far as publications they try to publish a wide range of opininos i've seen stuff that's pro-Reza Pahlavi, and sometimes stuff that's pro-Khatami.. it all depends they have a wide range of writers who submit articles.
It is ironic that Iraq, a democracy today, refuses to play games with Iran and Syria. Iraq is on higher ground.
HAPPY 4th of JULY
