Well, here I am, after months of deliberation about blogging (because all my opinions simply don't fit on a facebook status update), I've officially started. Before we get into it though, there are a few things I want to clarify. This post will reflect issues that I think are important for us to be aware of, to think about, to discuss, and perhaps to do something about. Some of the issues I choose will be most important to Iranians living here in the diaspora, others will be more general...will concern topics that matter because we are living in the U.S. and a part of the fabric of this country.
I also want to make sure that people don't take offense to my opinions. If you disagree, that is completely okay, I welcome your comments and your rationale for disagreeing. If you agree, or want to build on an argument I made, I would love that. But please, don't take it personally if in the end we don't see eye to eye. It's completely okay to respectfully disagree. Just because I don't agree with you, doesn't mean I don't like or respect you.
And lastly, if history is any indicator, I will have a lot of social commentary on our Iranian community, and more than likely the American one too. I may point out things I admire about us and things that I believe can and should be improved. Let's be clear: I love my community, I love my country (both Iran and the U.S.) and if it's sounds like I am being critical, it's only because I think we can do and be better. The day I give up being constructively critical, that means I don't care. That's when you should worry.
