Tricks of Dictatorship

Two days ago, I wrote a comment on Mohammad’s blog “A page from contemporary History Part 1” in which I condemned the regime of Al Khomeini for invading my dear country Syria, and sending weapons & hireling fighters to kill my people in Syria. And I was labeling it as a “murderer regime” for its atrocious interventions and conspiracies against others’ countries.

In anyway, I realized that in less than an hour, my comment was gone. And guess what… lol, I guess you all know the story… (ironic smile

Hello again 

   After the occupation of the US espionage den (the US embassy in Tehran, 1979) by the Muslim students following the Imam Khomeini's line, the US imposed some economic sanctions on Iran, dispatched its military fleet to the Persian Gulf and utilized some Iranian mercenaries and anti-revolutionary elements in the country.

THE LIFE SUITCASE

I guess many famous authors and writers created their novels because they wanted to share their feelings and emotions with this world. Seems that many people who practice blogging have the same intentions. I suppose that right now I'm doing the same.

“The evil eye” or “bad eye”, in case someone doesn’t know, refers to a belief that some people consider it as a superstition and some other hold a strong faith on it.
