Iran as the new Jewish state



Still...

I am pretty miserable and down with fever and a stuffed nose to carry around... but the good news is... today... I am high on chamomile and green tea... enough to post this. Manoke Khodabakhshian, the Iranian theoretician and commentator (he has a nose for it) recently said (Last Sunday that is)... we say... we want reform... the ruling regime in Iran... introduces three reform movements... we ask for a republic... they have seven type of republicans up their sleeves... we ask for a straight shooter, an honest journalist with years of experience in both Shah's and Khomeini's regimes... They send us Masoud Behnoud and Ebrahim Nabavi... we ask for a constitutional... lets say monarchy... they have it Hajjrian style (these last parts are not Khodabakhshian words but mine... I just felt like merging my bright intuitions and comments with his!)... So I say... lets try saying... we want Iran as a Jewish state and see what the regime in Iran can come up with! After all Jews... have been living in Iran for some 2000 years... perhaps the not so bright Mr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will now dress in a Rabbi suit to convince us... the regime in Iran has the winning card up their sleeve!
