		<description>This is the most outrageous bunch of $#%&amp; I have read in a very long time and shows the mindset of the usual propagandist that wants people to believe that black is white.  This is exactly the identical Line the &#039;Israelis Zionist&#039; used to instigate an attack for no reason against Iraq and Afghanistan, and now is being used to start another war against yet another country ( Iran) that has never attacked the US or Israel, or for that matter, any other country. How can any sane person not see the fallacy of what is being extolled in this piece of propaganda...and the purpose behind it. 

How can Iran not do all in it&#039;s power to protect it&#039;s people when it is constantly being threatened as Iran has been threatened ever since 911. Any fool knows that Israel has over 500 wmd&#039;s  in it&#039;s arsenal.  Only a fool would Attack a warmongering people such as the Israelis, who are essentially begging to be attacked.  Iran is the Cradle of Civilization and Israel is as an irritating pimple on the back of a camel.  No comparison.    

The most logical action that the USA can take is to investigate the Real Culprits behind 911.  But of course, we know that will not happen.  We have nothing but cowards and/or traitors occupying our government, being controlled by AIPAC and all the Zionist that surround this acting President, just as in the past Administration.  Until we clean House and the Senate of all the maggots, such an  Investigation will not ever see the Light of day. People, wake up before it is too late.

		<description>This piece pretty much echos the official Democratic and Republican views of foreign policy. This makes it useful as an intellectual exercise to see just how vapid the establishment foreign policy arguments are. 

Actually, it is not true that &quot;punditry is easy, but policy is hard.&quot; Policy is only hard if you are the head of a conniving, double-dealing, would-be-world-hegemony. That is, if you are the head of the US government. 

An authentic foreign policy that follows the advice of the Founding Fathers is the simplest thing in the world. It is also the most practical, and the most beneficial. That policy is: Friendly commerce and trade with all nations; entangling alliances with none. 

The five policy recommendations in this article are useful, because doing the exact opposite of them would be the correct policy. A quick summary and rebuttal: 

1) Voice support for dissidents in Iran. Wrong! What goes on in Iran is Iran&#039;s internal affair. We are on the outside, a good seven thousand miles away. The US also has a miserable record of intervening in Iran, having kicked out the democratically elected leader in 1953, installing the corrupt, brutal Shah. Why in God&#039;s holy name would anyone in Iran listen to the US prattle about supporting democracy in Iran, when we were the ones who ended it? 

2) Provide funds and communications to the rebels. Wrong for the same reasons as #1. By the way, we are already providing funds to undermine the government in Iran, through our support for vile groups like the MEK (Muhahedin e Khalq). Google it. 

3) Persuade Europe to suspend trade with Iran and withdraw ambassadors. That&#039;s about as logical as a three year old holding his breath and threatening to turn blue. If you really want to change a regime, do the opposite! Encourage an exchange of ideas and products. East Germany and the Soviet Union eventually fell because the people got sick of continuous poverty. The market in CD&#039;s and blue jeans (both above-board and black market) did more to bring down those regimes than any blustering politician ever could. 

4)Cut off gasoline imports to Iran. Can he be serious? Gasoline is about the most fungible asset on the planet. If you hold your breath, turn blue, and refuse to sell them gasoline, a thousand other suppliers will gladly step in to sell it to them, at a better rate of profit. 

5) Build a comprehensive missile defense system against Iran. Jesus, this guy is stupid. No one, to this date, has produced a shred of evidence Iran is producing nuclear weapons. Not one iota. Iran&#039;s missiles are all short to medium range, and represent zero threat to the USA. 

Kudos to CHB for publishing a completely establishment foreign policy piece, as an intellectual foil.  </description>

		<description>&quot;the blatantly fraudulent election results announced by the regime,&quot;

Why was the election blatantly fraudulent?

Please, someone, answer this.  The exit polls apparently coincided quite nicely with the final results.  Where is the fraud?
