Iranian Is Phishing?? or just coincedence?

On 8 Oct 2005, I received Email pretending to be from Paypal to my paypal registered email, of course it is not from paypal, it is this kind of common scam. however, when I hovered over the fake link of Paypal, it seems linked to .edu institute, I copy and pasted the first part of the url (the base), and it turned out to be an Iranian Technology Institute..

Here is the Email Below, and the iranian site is here, and wikipedia reference to this "elite" school is here: well, not sure if that institute knowingly and willfully sent that email, the IP of the email sender is located in germany, but it is interesting to see an iranian school name involved here. Something raises some doubt, isn't it?

Has Iran succeeded in humiliating Britain?

So, are you guys still want liberal, centrist and leftist governments? that humiliate you and make you look funny to the world. how shameful to all of us that we see today Britian thanks the iranian for capturing and instulting their own Naval soldiers. is that the liberty you are looking for? bowing down to the dictators and to the evil?

Is that what you are going to teach to Iraq? no wonder Iraq is a mess, as there are weak unfaithful people in their own power behind these troops, No wonder Iranians and Syrians send their agents and puppets to Iraq messing around killing iraqis, americans and Brits, and you simply say "thanks our enemy for killing us in mercy."

Even Iraqi prisoners of War in Iran resisted Iranian regime, despite they were tortured, and tried to escape. while your own under your sight thanked the genocidal inciting president Ahmedinajad.

This is unforgotten shameful day for Britian and all of us. Wonder if any Brit will express anger in demonstrations or protest against Iran or terrorists, or you are just going to sit and celebrate the shame, leaving london to protesters against freedom of speech (yeah, remember that one about the danish cartoor? where people incited hatred and called for terror attacks?). So shame.

Khamenei to Ahmadinejad: Step aside kid...?

I like this analysis here (link below) of the recent Iran international law mocking theater and their attack on british forces, here it is noting the president Najad missing from the recent crisis? puppet president for showing him off when the directors in Qum want and hide him when he gets too noisy.

He is Back!! Not the terminator

Hello Friends,
I used to blog under different blog name, [blog name omitted] , I stopped almost a year ago, for couple of reasons (e.g. busy life, developing and maturing my ideas..etc) , I used to blog in both Arabic and English in the same blog. but I decided this blog is going to be written in English to avoid messy styles (:

I kept silence in the blogosphere and YouTubeoSphere, but after the events of Iraq have escalated and the ranting has increased, add to it the confusion of interests and the danger of leaving iraq alone, I decided to start over baby!. I ll try my best to portray another Iraqi idea. Since I m a native Iraqi, born in Iraq and lived in iraq for two decades. [wasn't at all so bad as many like to imagine]. I lived through all the wars from iran-iraq war, to gulf war to 2003 toppling of Saddam regime..

I suprised at how many things changed and how some people is trying to portray the suffering of iraqi people under Saddam regime as if it was very little comparing to today. If you didn't hear about atrocities that doesn't mean they never happened. (Even if you take the lie of the day seriously: 600,000 died, still less than Saddam)

Here is today's arguement to some people: "We went Iraq on wrong claim (WMD), and now things got worse, so let's withdraw [period]". so "let's" withdraw and made things much worse. who cares!! Another arguement, "you iraqis guys did what we can, now you should solve your problems, we are leaving."... Sound like talking to husband and Wife to get them together! When I hear these statements, I think honestly those people might did worse than me in mathmatics. Are those kind of guys don't realize talking to 25 Million people, is different from talking to two people? and guess what even counseling two people might take years.

Well, some might say "well, it is not our [US} interest". oh yeah? Islamists? terrorists? no enemy anymore? you are living in a pinky world? These (anti-war) folks often citing "Veitnam" to terrorize the public. well guess what, withdrawing from Veitnam was a HUGE mistake, you are still paying it today, not just you, many people around the world. Because Almost all terrorist cites Veitnam as inspiration for defeating US!! One more thing, as long as you came to Iraq, you have duty to complete your job, you can't leave without completing it. no matter who is fault that makes you stay. you have to complete the job.

What's the job? Rebuilding a nation. that's what you are doing over there. Rebuilding nation needs patience, especially when that nation is Iraq divided over sectarian lines and in the heart of troubled Middle-east region. There are alot changes going behind the scenes that media commonly ignore. Many Iraqis today supports US in a way or another. not long ago, before the war, we had anti-US optinions, but looking the truths around us, inspired us and guided us to the right information away from Mullahs/islamists/Arab nationalist Propoganda.

I myself an example of changes, even though I m living abroad Iraq. however, I started to change my ideas after 2003. I changed 180 degress in many subjects. Before 2003, I considered Israel as an unofficial enemy that discriminate palestinians, after reading neutral and english sourcecs, following news every day, I changed my opinion completely, today I strongly support Israel, not just existance (as I before believe it has right), but as a country deserve strong respect and support and to be taken as a model for Iraq to survive its sourounding enemies.

Even religion, years ago, I was pracitcing and praying everyday, ah , not anymore, I m today belongs to NO organized religion.

Wait for more posts!!
