80's Style Radicalism?

Report on Fox News says Ahmadinjad wants to purge liberal teachers from colleges and return to 80’s style radicalism.

Somewhat inexact reporting. Undefined terminology from an Iranian perspective: liberal and 80’s style radicalism. In Iran, what do those words mean? We are not sure what liberal and radicalism is in this country or political entity, as it be.

Take the term terrorism. Take it, please. This overused term could be replaced by other terms allowing for more species under the generic term terrorist extending to those who merely disagree to common street thugs who blow up things for fun.

Here are possible substitutes: street criminals, organized crime, political factions, ethnic factions, business factions, juntas, religious factions, vengeance seekers, the patriotic, the unemployed…Have you more ideas? We can talk to these people! Nobody has the right to tell us whom we can talk to at anytime or anywhere. In an increasingly distasteful outcome, we must begin talks on neutral ground chosen by all who send a delegation.

Negotiations rather than pullouts for now. We must begin somewhere.

Was overheated rhetoric necessary considering recent successes? Or is it only reported as such? Is there a need for a Press secretary? More secularism, an indistinct term for sure. A university in the ancient sense would contain science and philosophy from the known universe. Human life was never ordered to be frozen in time. Let the people choose through knowledge rather than the lack thereof. Are you macho enough to try this?

Life changes as we long for the security of the past while we struggle against the unknown or embrace the innovative. Take your choice but the past is gone forever.

Shall men and women discuss the future?
