Soleimani was a great man. Period. 

TEHRAN- As an elderly American now, I have witnessed the apparent decline of my country in most all respects (except perhaps in military power) in to what appears to be an insane number of wrong-way turns since I was a youth in in the 1960s. It was with the Vietnam War that the pretensions or fact of “Empire” really began to take hold.

"Iranian footballer sentenced to death:" what Western media headlines 'forgot' to mention

The case of Amir Reza Nasr-Azadani needs a preamble: Iran is a country where having an occupation doesn't automatically grant you legal immunity, especially from crimes as significant as mob lynching or armed insurrection.

Tragedy of human rights

TEHRAN- This year marks the 74th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Although the modern concept of rights and human rights has been raised throughout the discourse of the West since the 17th century, the historical evidence shows that while the hypocritical West has been engaged in murder, looting, mass murder, torture, pressure, enslavement, slavery over the past three centuries, its intellectuals and thinkers have been promulgating human rights law for the world. And today it is the mask of human rights that gives a human gesture to their liberal democracy!

There’s corruption and there’s corruption—the Al-Sauds take the cake

Does Saudi Arabia’s constitution condone corruption and murder?

Let’s admit it upfront. Corruption is everywhere in the world. In the United States, big time donors give big bucks or “dark money” to politicians to legislate and change laws in their favor. Still we are lucky in the United States that we can call out corruption and face no prison term and dismemberment. This is far from the case in Saudi Arabia, where such criticism of the Al-Sauds, the ruling tribe, could lead to your death or land you in jail.

Mid-term elections in US under shadow of unprecedented political violence 

Attack against Nancy Pelosi's husband on October 28, once again turned the discussion of political violence into the headlines of the world's media. In general, political violence in most of the modern societies is the result of social tensions, which develop due to different reasons: Ideology, religious and ethnic conflicts, political conflicts between different groups of elites, economic conditions and the concept of relative deprivation.
