Homefront Casualties Of War

Casualties of wars are not limited to the nations attacked by invading forces. The nation of an aggressive government (such as the U.S. government) that ignites a war have to bear many casualties as well, but in a long term. The following article from New York Times published in September 19, 2015 is copied below. It can also be found through the following link:

The foremost responsibilities of all of us who have to deal with PTSD and other war related syndromes is to confront our governments when they are pushing for an aggression, or even what is disguised as defense through military built-up.

When Israel/Neocons Favored Iran (Consortiumnews.com: July 28, 2015)

Exclusive: The modern history of U.S.-Israeli-Iranian relations dates back 35 years to a time of political intrigue when Israel’s Likud leaders and the Reagan administration’s neocons secretly worked to arm Iran’s radical regime, an inconvenient truth given today’s anti-Iran hysteria, writes Robert Parry.

By Robert Parry

After the July 14 agreement between six world powers and Iran to tightly constrain its nuclear program, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the U.S. Congress to overturn the deal and ratchet up the confrontation with Iran, which he calls an “existential threat” to Israel.
As part of Israel’s campaign to derail the agreement, Iran is portrayed as a reckless “rogue” regime with the madness dating back to 1979 when the Iranian revolution ousted the Shah of Iran and the U.S. Embassy in Tehran was overrun with scores of diplomatic personnel taken hostage and 52 of them held for 444 days.

بیشعوری

بیشعوری عنوان کتابی‌ است به ترجمه محمود فرجامی که برای دومین بار در ۱۰۰۰ نسخه‌ چاپ شده است. این کتاب ترجمه کتابی‌ تحت عنوان Assohole no More نوشتهٔ  Xavier Crement است. با مقایسهٔ دو فصل از نشر انگلیسی‌ با آن دو فصل در نشر پارسی‌ می‌توان نتیجه گرفت که ترجمه آقای فرجامی وفادار به متن بوده، و تا آنجا که توانسته‌اند نکات مبهم را در زیر نویس توضیح داده، و رویهم رفته ترجمه ای  بسیار سلیس از متن اصلی‌ به دست داده‌اند. البته ترجمهٔ پاره‌ای از واژه‌ها دقیقا آنچه را که واژه انگلیسی‌ می‌رساند بیان نمیکنند؛ به عنوان نمونه می‌توان از عنوان کتاب نام برد!
