<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Well,
that might be a good gesture in principle which I'd consider assuming times
were better, and different. But they aren't, yet should be. That's
the sort of thing technology might and should embrace in such turbulent times
as these especially. But it won't do so for that intended purpose I
suspect. The west is more concerned that the Afghan poppy fields are
continually well played in the so-called free market. And the black
market too. Then there is the big issue of who controls those critical
oil transport conduits. One also has to wonder how long a million solar
modules would withstand a thousand bomb blasts in that
current envirionment. I've never been there to assess the
possibilities. My former Russian wife was there, serving as a Russian
army officer in the 1980s, live-fire combat situations no less. It was
really ugly stuff. I could tell it had changed her deeply. She was
damaged in the heart. Still is I suspect. That's what that shit
does. The Russians are some real tough nuts, but you don't mess with the
Afghans. Several "empires" tried it over the centuries.
They all failed. Then again, try another approach to them - like solar
power. They might "buy it" because they could use a beneficial
outlet for their own better energies. In that sense Shahryar could truly
see his work rewarded meaningfully somehow. There you go, Obama.
Change the world constructively. I dare ya. Surprise me. But
I'd sooner count on people in the streets first. Enough of
politics. There's serious work to be done. Thank you, Mr.
Shahryar. I used to compete with you years ago. You were a straight
shooter. Even when I had to hide behind a rock, you had wicked aim.
We fought well. Go in peace.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>I am sad to say that our dear friend Ishaq M.
Shahryar passed away Sunday</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>evening, April 12, 2009. Mr. Shahryar was well
known in the solar industry</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>as the successful founder of Solec International,
the first terrestrial</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>solar cell factory. The New Scientist magazine
titled him The Sun King and</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>reported that he "virtually invented solar
power as a serious energy</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>source." Mr. Shahryar loved America and his
native homeland, Afghanistan. In</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>2002, the former Afghan King Mohammad Zahir Shah
asked Mr. Shahryar to</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>represent his homeland which he accepted to become
the first Afghan</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>Ambassador to the United States since 1978. His
Excellency, Ambassador</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>Shahryar served pro bono and also invested much of
his own money in the</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>embassy. After serving as Ambassador, Mr. Shahryar
returned to California to</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>start a new solar company, Sun King Solar. The
solar industry, Afghanistan,</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>his family, and his many friends will miss Ishaq
dearly. He is survived by</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>his wife, Hafizah, son, Alexander, and daughter,
Jahan.</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>The funeral service will be held 1:00PM, Saturday,
April 18, 2009 at the</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>Hollywood Hills Forest Lawn Memorial Park, 6300
Forest Lawn Drive, Los</span><br>
<span class=apple-style-span>Angeles, California 90068 (tel 800-204-3131).</span><br>
