Everything You Know About Iran Is A Myth By Lawrence of Cyberia
There are some terms that people in Islamic and Western countries should never say to each other, because they confuse and inflame more than they clarify.

Iran, the arrogance of Empire and the death of Michael Jackson By William Bowles
The Left, such as it is in the West, seems not to know what to do, caught up as it is in the same blast of hot air about the ‘Mad Mullahs’ and projected definitions of democracy. So on the one hand the left’s broadly anti-capitalist thrust is neutralized by its desire not to be… Continue reading
