With his presidential campaign faltering, the last thing Sen. John Kerry needs is publicity linking him to a dubious lawsuit filed by one of his top financial backers that seems intended to silence a prominent Iranian pro-democracy organization. But unfortunately for the Democratic presidential nominee, that's what's coming his way.
Back in April, Hassan Nemazee, who has raised more than $100,000 for Mr. Kerry's campaign, filed a $10 million lawsuit in a Texas court charging the Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran (SMCCDI) and its coordinator, Aryo Pirouznia, with libeling him by suggesting he is a supporter of the Islamist regime in Iran. At the heart of the legal dispute is Mr. Nemazee's connection with groups such as the American-Iranian Council, an organiza...

His critics wanted President Barack Obama to show "leadership" during the crisis in Libya last year, just as long as he didn't get us into another war, spend a lot of money, put U.S. military assets at risk or put American boots on the ground. Other than that, it was "Go get 'em, Mr. President.
They also gleefully derided Obama's unfortunately named strategy of "leading from behind." However, it worked. The U.S. did some air support of the Libyan rebels, but largely it coordinated with France, Italy and the Arab nations that did the bulk of the military heavy lifting, and in October, Moammar Gadhafi was killed and his regime fell.
