The Crisis in Lebanon has worried every humanist. Until today more than 700 innocent civilians have died and thousands have become homeless, and that is what matters the most.
The question that either Hezbollah or the Israel forces are responsible for all these massacres, or which side has killed more, is childish and irrelevant. What matters the most is an end to this disgusting battle.
And what is even filthier is that the UN Security Council has not come to a resolution just because everybody is playing politics. So what happens here when each country is trying to gain a winning point for their own future in UNSC sessions is that hundreds of innocent people die without any reason.

Journey to Dubai
Traveling has always been fun, even when it may take almost a day to reach the destination. If you are traveling to a new place the excitement of discovering new things, and if you are 
traveling back to somewhere you have been before, the joy of seeing family and friends after a while and refreshing memories, make the journey impatiently fun.
I came to Dubai with Swiss Airline, to me one of the best airlines. (And trust me its not that expensive) I tried my best to sleep in the way to Zurich so that I can stay awake in the airport to guard my belongings. 
I met a lady from Namibia who was a member of the Prisoner’s rights committee and chatting with her killed a little bit of time in Zurich airport, but apart from that I was pretty much bored. She was attending a conference supporting the abortion of death penalty law in most countries.
Thanks to the sleeping pills I slept the whole flight from Zurich to Dubai.
Dubai airport was the same. Same old things and the same cheap liquor store in Duty Free.
And at the end meeting my family after a year was the best part of my journey.

One Busy Day
Today was one busy day, and I really mean it. I had to take care of my new apartment's application and clear all my debts before going to dubai, and as Canadians are so much in favor of holidays, i realized that just like last week this friday is also a holiday aswell wgich made me rush to do things i was suppose to do tomorrow. 
And it is here that the last thing you need is a "Under training Bank employee" serving you, or a clicky landlord. Thanks to Hesam and Behnam's help I finally managed to do them all.

Traveling Home (well Dubai!)
After 2 month of frustration I was almost hopeless of receiving my study permit on time, that a phone call from the international student office woke me up, informing me 
Now I am packing and getting ready. Although I still have a week time, I have to do so many things that my mind is operating as sophisticated as Windows XP ( yet as crappy as windows XP).
I will stay in Dubai till 28th of August and I will definitely visit Iran as well. Although this is not my first travel back to Iran but I am going to document everything this time so keep checking for photos and stuff!

Iranian President Writes Letter to Bush
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has written a letter to President Bush with suggestions on how to resolve current international tensions, Iranian officials said today, but there was no immediate information about whether he was proposing a solution to differences over Iran's nuclear program.
Frederick Jones, the spokesman for the National Security Council, was informed just after 2:00 p.m. that the letter arrived at the White House. He said that Stephen J. Hadley, President Bush's national security adviser, would examine it along with the council's staff. He did not have any information on the tone or content of the letter or on when Mr. Bush would review it.
Officials in Iran would not disclose the contents of the letter, which was forwarded to Washington through the Swiss embassy, which represents American interests in Iran.
The letter is believed to be the first direct public communication sent by an Iranian president to an American president since ties between the nations were severed after the American Embassy in Tehran was seized in 1979.
The United States director of intelligence, John D. Negroponte, said today in a briefing in Washington that he had not read the letter, but he suspected it could be linked to discussion in the United Nations Security Council over Iran's nuclear program.
"Certainly one of the hypotheses you'd have to examine is whether and in what way the timing of the dispatch of that letter is connected with trying in some manner to influence the debate before the Security Council," Mr. Negroponte said.

-------------------------------There are 3 points about this news:
1. Why the Iranian officials have not published the content of the letter?
2. How come the White House has recieved the letter but still not read such an important mail?

Meera
Not long after O-Hum this Rock band was introduced in Iran, releasing their first album inside Iran, which later became the Top seller album in Iran. What is very interesting in their music, Particularly in the song "Wound", is mixing Persian music with western style rock which results in a new kind of experience. Ofcourse they are not pioneers of this style but yet they have done it very well. One thing I really don't like about them is their vocals. Its composed badly and sang very mediocre, at the same time the guitar solos are simple and brilliant, mainly because Babak Akhoundi, the band's guitarist, is undoubtedly one of the most professional Iranian guitarists and composers.
This is the Music Video for the Song "Wound".Listen carefully to the Persian Instrumnet called Ghichak, which plays a counterpoint melody in the back. It is really cool to see some of the Tehran Ladscapes in the video.

Marshal Mcluhan and TV
Here are three interviews of Marshal Mcluhan. very interesting:
Munich Original Soundtrack!
John Williams has done another spectacular piece. The soundtrack for the movie "Munich" by Spielberg, is amazing. There is a female vocal in it that is so powerful. I haven't seen the movie, but listening to the soundtrack I bet it is very touching.

Is Nuclear Energy Iranians' Absolute Right?
well, it is Iranians' right to have Nuclear Energy, but the question here is: is it worth? Is it that important to gang up the rest of the world against us? Are we that much in need of such an energy that even going into a war (whether cold or hot) with United States is worth it? The damage that the sanctions will impose on Iranian economy will be far more than years of benefit that Iranians will gain through the Nuclear power. Yet we assume that Islamic Republic's Nuclear program is peaceful, ignoring our handsome, cute president.
And trust me there are far greater problems in Iran than having a cheap energy. Even if one is willing to strengthen the Iran's economy and produce cheap energy, it is more rational to build oil refinery plants, so that we will not have to sell the oil to west and then buy refined petroleum from them in a far more expensive price.
Conclusion: Nuclear Enrgy is Iranians' absolute left!
