Millions of Iranians take to the streets to defy a theocratic dictatorship that, among its other finer qualities, is a self- declared enemy of America and the tolerance and liberties it represents. The demonstrators are fighting on their own, but they await just a word that America is on their side. And what do they hear from the president of the United States? Silence. Then, worse. Three days in, the president makes clear his policy: continued "dialogue" with their clerical masters.
[Dan Seals] opened the forum by voicing his support for Israel, "our one true ally in the Mideast", and the need for a "stable, secure Jewish state" that is being threatened by "the maniac that sits in Iran". Seals, who visited Israel in 2006, told the crowd of about 240 people that "I believe in tikkun olam [the Jewish concept of repairing the world]," which he related to health care reform, praising the system in Israel, with its public and private care.
TORRANCE, Calif., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As Newsweek sold for $1 this week, and Jane Harman vowed hands-off on editorial content, she continues to be silent in answering questions regarding divestment of her shares in Harman Intl. and business to Iran. Mattie Fein, opponent to Jane Harman in the 36th congressional district, California, called for Jane Harman to divest in Harman International shares due to their business with AKG and Iran. I'm the Republican candidate in this district and asked her to respond to the Iran business ties of her shares in Harman Intl. Jane Harman's silence means she's either afraid or she doesn't believe the voters of the 36th district deserve an answer. The irony is Newsweek's financial future is tied to Iran at a time the U.S. signed into law t...
Tyrants resort to a Big Lie when they have nothing truthful to say to the world or their people. The theory is that if you say something outrageous often enough, people will start to believe it. Last month, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad uttered a brazen Big Lie against the West, suggesting to the United Nations that the U.S. government had masterminded the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, resulting in the deaths of thousands.
TEHRAN, Iran - Iran said Tuesday it had invited the European Union and some other world powers - but apparently not chief critic the United States - to tour nuclear sites before the next round of international talks in late January on its disputed nuclear program. The Associated Press reported the invitation to tour the facilities on Monday, citing a letter from a senior Iranian envoy that suggested Jan. 15-16 for the visit. A diplomat familiar with the letter said Iran invited Russia, China, Egypt, the group of nonaligned nations at the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency, Cuba, Arab League members at the IAEA and Hungary, which currently holds the rotating EU presidency.
The freelance reporter who had been held in an Iranian jail while covering the country's presidential election and violent aftermath for The Washington Times said Friday that he was pummeled at Tehran's airport, interrogated while blindfolded and held in a wing of a facility with thousands of anti-government demonstrators. A gentleman wearing a uniform said I wouldn't be flying tonight," said Iason Athanasiadis, recalling the first moments of his 18-day detention that began with his arrest at the Tehran airport June 17.
TEHRAN, Iran - The mothers of three Americans jailed in Iran for 10 months left for home Friday, getting one last chance to embrace their children but failing to secure their immediate release. In a glimmer of hope, Iran announced that two of its nationals held in Iraq by U.S. forces for years were freed Friday. The release raised the possibility that a behind-the-scenes swap was in the offing or that their release was a gesture of goodwill in an attempt to free the Americans.
War with Iran is now inevitable. The only question is: Will it happen sooner or later? Tehran's recent missile tests and war games suggest that the apocalyptic mullahs have reached the same conclusion. Iran is on the march. Their medium-range Shahab-3 and Sajjil missiles can reach Israel, the entire Middle East and parts of Europe. Tehran is slowing expanding its regional sphere of influence. It has backed insurgency groups in Iraq, which have killed U.S. soldiers. It sponsors Hamas and Hezbollah. It has transformed Syria into a political vassal. It has forged an alliance with Hugo Chavez's Venezuela. It has purchased key air defense systems from Vladimir Putin's Russia.
Suspicions that China is facilitating illegal North Korean arms exports have gained new credence as authorities investigate a plane carrying weapons from Pyongyang that was detained during a refueling stop in Thailand. The Russian-made Ilyushin-76, with a crew of four Kazakhs and one man carrying a passport from Belarus, was impounded Friday carrying 35 tons of weapons, reportedly including unassembled Taepodong-2 missile parts. The destination of the plane was not confirmed, but specialists said Iran was likely.
Historians have long seen the period from 1918 to 1939 as only a pause between two halves of the same war, which the Versailles treaty didn't end but only interrupted. That's because World War I didn't resolve the issues that led to the renewed outbreak of war two decades later.
