When More And More People Want Something,

I Have Never Agreed With President Bush's Argument Regarding The Axis Of Evil. Unfortunately, Fundamentalists In Iran Have Used This As An Excuse To Brand Us As Allies Of Mr. Bush.

Maybe The Words Are The Same, But The Time Is Not The Same. Iranians Weren't Working On Achieving Nuclear Energy.

The People Of Iran Have Been Battling Against Consecutive Conflicts Between Tradition And Modernity For Over 100 Years... Some Have Tried And Are Trying To See The World Through The Eyes Of Their Predecessors And To Deal With The Problems And Difficulties Of The Existing World By Virtue Of The Values Of The Ancients... Many Others...seek To Go Forth In Step With World Developments And Not Lag Behind The Caravan Of Civilization, Development And Progress.

The Most Important Problem In Iran Is That The Courts Have Lost Their Independence, And They Are Under The Influence Of The Ministry Of Intelligence And Their People. This Is Why We Witness A Number Of Journalists And Human Rights Activists, My Colleagues, And A Number Of Feminists, In Prison.

Human Rights Is A Universal Standard. It Is A Component Of Every Religion And Every Civilization.
