The Daily Telegraph in England has also written a very negative commentary against Cyrus the Great which is more strongly worded than the Spiegel article; I have written a very detailed retort against that article:
Retort to the Daily Telegraph’s article against Cyrus the Great

I am obliged to tell you that the Daily Telegraph article is far more vicious and venomous in its attacks against not only Cyrus the Great, but the legacy of the Iranian people and their history in world civilization. I ask that you please read and distribute this retort against the Daily Telegraph as widely and as quickly as possible.

Dear friends,
As you may be aware that the German magazine, Spiegel, has attacked Cyrus the Great in a most inhumane way. To read the Spiegel article, please click here:
http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,566027,00.html
Dr. Kaveh Farrokh has responded to these baseless accusations. To read Dr. Farrokh original letter to Spiegel in English, please click here:
http://kavad.netfirms.com/articles/spiegel_cyrus.html
To read the Persian translation of his letter, please click here:
http://www.savepasargad.com/~New-050508/01.General-News/Newss-Pages/Dr.%20Farrokh_Farsi.htm
To read a summary of the same article in Persian by Shahrbaraz, please click here:
http://shahrbaraz.blogspot.com/2008/07/blog-post_23.html
Kaveh and Shahrbaraz have done their parts, now it is our turn. Please take a few minutes and write a short email to Matthias Schulz at Matthias_Schulz@spiegel.de.
Thank you and best regards,
Havadarane Pan Iranism
=== Letter to Spiegel ===
Dear Mr. Schulz,
Your unfounded attack on Cyrus the Great and Iran’s heritage is most unfortunate and disappointing. Such an ill-researched article in an influential magazine such as Spiegel leaves a lot to be desired. A few minutes of research would reveal the great contributions that Cyrus the Great made to the world. Here are some resources that your editors could benefit from:
Dr. Kaveh Farrokh’s article on the subject of Cyrus the Great, in English:
http://kavad.netfirms.com/articles/spiegel_cyrus.html
Preview of the upcoming movie In Search of Cyrus the Great including the UN Deputy Secretary-General’s comments on Cyrus the Great’s contribution to the world:

How Iranian diplomats in Europe saved Jewish lives in World War II Europe:

I hope your editors will spend a few minutes to study Cyrus the Great and write about him objectively. Spiegel owes the Iranian people and the world community at large an apology.
Regards,
Havadarane Pan Iranism |

Historians and archaeologists are entrusted with the task of examining and narrating the past. These tasks require the historian to be as balanced and neutral as possible in his or her writings. The events of June 2009 have certainly put that requirement (upon this writer at least) to the test.
What has attracted the attention of the world media has been the assertive role of Iranian women in the political protests, especially the young student, Neda Agha-Soltan, who was killed on June 20, 2009 as she engaged in political protests in Tehran.
The young Iranian girl Neda Agha-Soltan who was shot by security forces on Tehran’s Karegar Street on June 20, 2009. Neda represents the immortal spirit of the women of Iran who have often been at the forefront of political and social change across centuries of Iranian history.
Though fallen, Neda represents the immortal spirit of the women of Iran. This article aims to highlight the importance, leadership and deeply rooted courage of Iranian women throughout the history of Iran since ancient times. The women of Iran have been participants and engines of civil and political change throughout Iran’s ancient history. Below are a few examples that highlight the role tghat Iranian women have played in the history of Iran.
