Get a quick look into life far into the future, in the year 2056:

Last remaining Fundamentalist Muslim dies in the American Territory of the Middle East (formerly known as Iran, Afghanistan, Syria and Lebanon).

Iran still closed off; physicists estimate it will take at least 10 more years before radioactivity decreases to safe levels.

George Z. Bush says he will run for President in 2058.

Fidel Castro announced he will get retired at the age 130 and called the country for a free presidency election.

Scientists have created a device which allows men to change channels without remote control and only by brain waves. So they don't have to hide the remote control between their legs from their wives:D

Baby conceived naturally . . . scientists confused!

I was watching this movie "proof" and I found this piece that matches the movie!!

A mathematician named Hall
Has a hexahedronical ball,
and the cube of its weight
Times his pecker's, plus eight
is his phone number -- give him a call.

I am in a good mood, life ain't that bad.

Iran the Target of misinformation Campaign

A story authored by Amir Taheri regarding new legislation in Iran allegedly requiring Jews and other religious minorities to wear distinctive color badges circulated around the world this weekend before it was exposed as false. It was initially published in Friday's edition of Canada's National Post, which ran beside the story a 1935 photograph of a Jewish businessman in Berlin with a yellow, six-pointed star sewn on his overcoat, as required by Nazi legislation at the time. The Post accordingly issued a retraction. Taheri's story, however, was reprinted by the New York Post, which is owned by media baron Rupert Murdoch, and picked up by the Jerusalem Post, which also featured a photo of a yellow star from the Nazi era over a photo of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Juan Cole, president of the U.S. Middle East Studies Association (MESA), described the Taheri article and its appearance first in Canada's Post as "typical of black psychological operations campaigns," particularly in its origin in an "out of the way newspaper that is then picked up by the mainstream press" – in this case, the Jerusalem Post and the New York Post. A former U.S. intelligence official described the article's relatively obscure provenance as a "real sign of [a] disinformation operation."
In particular, Taheri explained, religious minorities will "have to wear special insignia, known as zonnar, to indicate their non-Islamic faiths. Jews will be marked out with a yellow strip of cloth sewn in front of their clothes, while Christians will be assigned the color red. Zoroastrians end up with Persian blue as the color of their zonnar," he wrote.
While Taheri did not evoke the Nazi precedent in his column, the National Post asked its readers at the end of the piece, "Is Iran turning into the new Nazi Germany? Share your opinion online at nationalpost.com."
In fact, however, the legislation contained "absolutely no mention of religious minorities," according to Hadi Ghaemi, the chief Iran researcher for Human Rights Watch (HRW), who said it included "only generalities with regard to promoting a national dress code and fashion industry that should be subsidized and supported by the government."
The article – and especially its attribution to "human rights groups" – was particularly unfortunate, he told IPS, because "it plays into the hands of the Iranian government that wants to discredit human rights issues that are raised at the international level." The actual legislation was indeed "a troubling development," but not for the reasons cited by the Post, he added, because "its main target is most probably Iranian women."
Other denunciations were quick to follow. One Jewish representative in the Iranian parliament, Maurice Motamed, insisted that color requirements for ethnic minorities had "never been proposed or discussed in parliament," let alone approved. "Such news," he told the Associated Press, "is an insult to religious minorities here." "This report is a complete fabrication and is totally false," he told The Australian newspaper. "It is a lie…."
Two Israel-based Iran experts, Menashe Amir and Meir Javedanfar, also denounced the original reports about the legislation, suggesting in a follow-up article in the Jerusalem Post Monday that they were based on outdated speculation about the impact on non-Muslims of the adoption of Islamic dress standards.
"I think the way these stories played – particularly the references to the Holocaust – was designed to arouse and play upon concerns and accusations that Ahmadinejad is another Hitler who needs to be dealt with accordingly," noted Cohen, who added that the Iranian president's questioning of the Holocaust and aggressive statements about Israel have made such stories more credible.

You don't really need to do something very brilliant to be mentioned on Time's special issue as one of the world's most influential people.
For example our dear President, he wrote some letters, made some impossible to keep promises to improve our economic lives and fighting corruption. I don't know how much he has been successful but my people are still struggling in the same shit. So how come he has done something significant?
For next year, I'll surprise my mom by having my picture there too. It isn't that hard to fulfill. Say something insane then you're up there…

As the time passes us it is hard not to believe we are getting closer to the next world war. War on Afghanistan was just the beginning of the story. Bush started his campaign with "War on terrorism" then he continued it with "War for liberty" so what he is going to name "War on Iran"? The Middle East is slated to be the main battlefield of next world war. And no wonder my nation will be in middle of it.
Mr. Bush, are you satisfied to walk so proudly on the cradle of the civilization dehumanizing us, killing us and labeling us as bunch of terrorists? Is that how you help your main stream media picturing us? It is not surprising that there are many americans hating us and blaming us for 9/11.I am against any violence,any action that leads to death of innocent human beings, no matter who they are and no matter where they are from.
Are people like me real threats to the USA? People like me get killed in Iraq everyday. Yes, after 8 yrs of war with Iraq I became to hate them but I figured out gradually that they were people like me. So I aimed my vengeance to people who light the fire of war. It is once said in peace sons bury their fathers and in war fathers bury their sons.
I hate chapter 7 ... I hate nuclear programs. ..I hate everything nuclear…I hate easily fooled Persian diplomats. I hate UNSC….list goes on ..

Ps: When Mr. Straw was reported by BBC saying" talk of a U.S. nuclear strike was 'completely nuts,'" following reports by well-connected U.S. journalist Seymour Hersh that such strikes were under consideration. Denials by members and fellow travelers of the Bush and Blair regimes should of course be considered in the light of similar denials in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, which proved to have been lies.
Probably this statement cost Mr.Straw his job.

I don't bother myself to comment on the IAEA's sharply worded report against Iran. I don't want to admit that I was too stupid to think that USA might accept Iran's offer to return the dossier to the atomic agency. I can't blame Iranian officials openly for their noncompliance with IAEA.I wish they were wise enough to back off from this nuclear program before letting things go more on edge between Iran and the international community.
Apparently the America's recent rhetoric against Iran brings to minds the same run- ups to Iraq war.
In a speech in Chicago on April 19, Rice said: "The right to self-defense does not necessarily require a UN Security Council resolution," she said. "We are prepared to use measures at our disposal - political, economic or others - to persuade Iran."
Condi, what're you defending yourself from? Is this just like the old scenario of Iraq? Some none-existed WMD's that you never found?
Anyway, Bush your hands are bloody but you don't see that and one day you will have terrible nightmares, just like every warmonger who ever ruled on this planet.
It really looks like Iran is playing the bad kid who needs some real kick in the ass.
Q: Who plays the big daddy?
A: US of A
