By Dr. Habib Siddiqui
7 February 2010

Dr. Habib Siddiqui has contributed numerous articles and essays to Ovi; this contribution was a two-parter that broached the controversial subject of Iran's determination to obtain a nuclear capacity.

Quote: "For a genuine dialogue with Iran to succeed, our western leaders need to make a much more active effort to engage the Iranians, listening and responding to their concerns, allaying their suspicions, ending “regime change” policies and offering the real prospect of recognition to the Islamic Republic and normal relations with the United States."

By The Ovi Team

On March 5th, 1946, Winston Churchill delivered one of the first speeches condemning what he thought was a Soviet Union bent on the expansion of communism in Europe and around the world, during the speech he coined the phrase "The Iron Curtain" which was then used by many future politicians.

Quote: "From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe."

Whither the Nobel Peace Prize?
By Kourosh Ziabari
14 June 2010

Kourosh Ziabari, our contributor from Iran, turned his attention to Obama and the aftermath of him receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.

Quote: "The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was a "comparative award," and made millions of people laugh at the credibility and authenticity of the foundation which is aimed at the preservation of Alfred Nobel's heritage; however, from another comparative viewpoint, the Nobel committee had already brought itself into question by awarding people such as Shimon Peres who are simply unable to spell the word "peace.""
