shab

yea the pictures are around the wrong way. Azadi tower is the top one.

Yes, better to be free than born.

Hi. The images are well placed. My preference goes to the white Azadi Tower, which shows a tall magnificence over the square and the city. Thanks, Ali.

i agree with the last sntnc. i heard on t.v that a survey showed that ppl in tehran still considered Azadi tower as a symbol. prsonally, i dont think Milad will ever replace Azadi since the design and architecture of Azadi tower is unique whereas there are dozens similar to Milad.

Congratulations! Good job.

Thanks for finally informing me of the tower's official name, my friends always referred to it as the 'Kir-e Khar' (apologies to Farsi readers)... which means something at once rather phallic and extremely rude. The politics of the thing are pretty crude.

That said, you cant knock the BRT! Who needs a metro when the buses are finally working?!

Sajjad

I appreciate your patriotic feeling.
Best wishes from Sajjadul Karim, Chittagong, Bangladesh.

I like how you end your comments with a good-old traditional Ira-nian WHINE; "I'd rather be free than born".
Here in the US, the land of freedom and democracy, women are denied the freedom to choose to engage in prostitution. People are denied the right to choose the substances they want to enjoy. They are one federal judge away from allowing states to deny women the freedom of choice on abortion, and ban same-sex marriage. A sev-enteen year old gets thrown in the slammer for 20 years for con-sensually receiving a blow-job from a girl one year younger than him.
And yet we Iranians are always, no matter what the occasion, no matter what the place, we are always proclaiming ourselves as hav-ing our "freedoms" taken from us.
I congratulate you on continuing this fine Iranian tradition of whin-ing.

Ali

I expected to read about Milad Tower but I am disappointed.
