How Hateful ...
I am very surprised about these product's which are being advertised on "Café press" (Click Here) web site. Here is a letter to condemn the idea behind these products where I strongly call it as an act against human rights ... If you also condemn these sort of unfaithful messages and advertisements; you may spread the word.
Café press: I am writing to demand that you discontinue the production of your
“Nuke Iran” line. As an Iranian (As a human), I am appalled by the hateful and
unethical message that your company propagates. How hateful can one be to take
pleasure in the death of millions of people? Are 200,000 civilian casualties in
the bombing of Hiroshima not good enough reasons to oppose nuclear bombing? How
far would one go to make profits out of innocent people’s suffering?I request
that you practice the minimal ethics required in any kind of business and remove
the products that encourage the atomic bombing of Iran. Just out of curiosity,
what kind of a parent would choose a “Nuke Iran” bib for her or his baby? I
wonder.

Unfortunately something wrong went with my template and I lost everything! Including my comments and some of my banners! I appreciate all who left me comments -which are so valuable to me- and helped me to think better. Thank you all; I will be using Blogger's comment service instead of the HaloScan to prevent such maladjustments in future.

Crazy
Tomorrow is the United Nation's Security Council deadline for Iranian government to halt all its nuclear activities including research. What will the G5 countries decide to do? No one knows! it can be a moderate resolution, sanctions against Iran including air traffic or even it can be a military action against the Iranian nuclear facilities! What ever it is going to happen, I merely want it to be a peaceful action. America and Iran are both nations where their people are always trying and have strived to become better! They are both great civilizations; one is old and the other is new.
Iranian ex-president Mohammed Khatami said Inter Civilization Dialogue, what I would say is a Peaceful Iran and America. Peace between these two countries is now the world's most important issue not a war!
PEACE

French Kiss in Tehran
Oh my goodness! Can you believe that such things can happen in streets of Iranian capital, Tehran? Thanks for SoloGen's reference to this picture. Here is a quote from Reuters, "An Iranian policewoman (back to camera) watches a couple kiss before restraining them on a street in Tehran."

Campaign Against Sanctions and Military Intervention in Iran
Nuclear Bunker Busters
Hello my friend! (:
Having a missile that can penetrate the Earth is important for armies as it enables them to destroy their enemy's deeply-buried strategic targets. A sample of those strategic targets is our country's nucliear facilities that many people are talking about these days.
Fortunately (or might be unfortunately as you willsee), it is not easy to penetrate the Earth much as it absorbs most of the energy of any rocket quickly. Practically, it is not possible to go more than a few meters underground even with the fastest missiles with very hard casing. One possible solution is using a nuclear warhead to compensate this problem by producing much more energy than conventional warheads.However, as it is shown in [Nelson03], even if you use a nuclear warhad, you need a very powerful one to destroy things deeply buried. For instance, if you use nuclear weapon with the power of Hiroshima's bomb, you can just destroy stuff buried 30-40m deep. If you increase that power ten times, you cannot still destroy any thing more than a hundred meters below the Earth's surface (well! rougly speaking!). The important issue is that you cannot increase the yield of your nuclear warhead that much because if you do,you would ruin the whole area and hence kill thousands of people (I assume that you just want to destroy some special target and not the whole country).
If Bush wants to destroy nuclear facilities of Iran using his Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrating weapons, he would kill many people alongside.There is no safe way for destroying those with a missile (or you may propose a one and get DARPA's fundings! (; ). And I think you, like me, do not want people get killed.
I want you to talk about this whole problems with your friends, write about it in your weblogs, write in yourjournals, and any other possible way. I know that no single one can do any thing special about it, but I believe that if we talk about it much for a long time, and persuade others to talk about it too, we can spread the word to the world (remember the small-world network). If the world becomes concerned about the consequences of this possible act, those silly politicians may not think more about this hazardous option anymore.
Anyway, if you are not concerned about it at all, or you think that there is no use in talking/thinking about that possible nuclear disaster, you may still want to read [Nelson03] paper. It is fun specially forthose who is/was interested in weapons, destruction, bombs, explosions, and etc.

War? NO
Hey you think tanks at the White House and you stupid neo-conservatives STOP!! No more war in the middle east region. How much blood needs to be shed for you to be satisfied? Don't forget every Iranian -as much as I know- is prepared to protect his 2500 years of proud civilization, they are not like gulf settled Arabs who sell crude oil to get mineral water and Toyota!
