I went to the front, but I never participated in the war itself.

Revolutions invariably don't solve the issue of justice, and in its place, suppression and limiting freedom replaces that idea.

I am against revolution and am proud of it. Democracy cannot be created through revolutions. The most important dichotomy that I make for a society is between those who support democracy and human rights, and those who oppose it. In a totalitarian state, the state views any act of an individual to be political in nature. For example, the clothing that a person wears in a modern state is a private affair whereas in the Islamic Republic all women are forced to wear the hijab (Islamic attire). When women push their headscarf back an inch or two, this is interpreted to be a political act.

I did join the Revolutionary Guard, but I was simply a simple Revolutionary Guard, never a commander.

Negotiation talks are the best way to solve anything. We must replace wars and weapons with negotiations and talks.

We should put away the militaristic outlook. The U.S. should start talking about disarmament, nuclear disarmament, of the region.

The ecological movement is concerned about this, and this is in here, where everything is public. In Iran, where everything is covert, we have no firsthand information.
