In the Name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most CompassionateOh Almighty God, please, we beg you to send us our Guardian- who You have promised us- soon and appoint us as His close companions.During the era that nobility was a prestige and living in a city was perfection, I was born in a poor family in a remote village of Garmsar-approximately 90 kilometer east of Tehran. I was born fifteen years after Iran was invaded by foreign forces- in August of 1940- and the time that another puppet, named mohammad Reza – the son of Reza Mirpange- was set as a monarch in Iran. Since the extinct shah -Mohammad Reza- was supposed to take and enter Iran into western civilization slavishly, so many schemes were implemented that Iran becomes another market for the western ceremonial goods without any progress in the scientific field. Our Islamic culture would not allow such an infestation, and this was an impediment in front of shah and his foreign masters’ way. Thus, they decided to make this noble and tenacious culture weak gradually that Iran be attached strongly to the west as far as its economy, politics, and culture was concern. After the implementation of this policy and the unreal and outward of upswing, the villagers began to rush to the cities. Upon the enforcement of the land reform, the status of the villages became worst than the past and villagers for earning some breadcrumbs, they were deceived by the dazzling look and the misleading features of the cities and became suburban and lived in ghettos.

Reuters: Iranian president lambasts US on new blog 

Iran’s president has launched a Web log, using his first entry to recount his poor upbringing and ask visitors to the site if they think the United States and Israel want to start a new world war.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose speeches are riddled with anti-U.S. rhetoric, also described how he was angered by American meddling in Iran even when he was at elementary school.

Analyst Saeed Laylaz said the site — available in Persian, Arabic, English and French at www.ahmadinejad.ir — may be seeking to win support from abroad.

“Do you think that the U.S. and Israeli intention and goal by attacking Lebanon is pulling the trigger for another world war?” the president asks visitors to the site, offering them the choice to vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’.

Iran has shown the ultimate in Western media cycle manipulation. First, it was Mike Wallace and now the blogosphere.

Hey, President Ahmadinejad how about enabling comments and trackbacks?

Stay tuned…….

More from Captain Ed and Allah……
