The Left and Iran
CounterPunch01-Sep-2008 (one comment)
Because Iran's leadership and the U.S. power elite each include influential figures who press for dialog between the two countries, we must conclude that Iran is not in danger of a military attack. Conclusion: people of conscience should drop their opposition to a possible U.S. or Israeli attack and instead condemn imperialism's best ally in the Middle East, Iran. You may laugh, but this is the essence of Reza Fiyouzat's hawkish argument as he struggles in a recent Counterpunch article to sow antagonism towards Iran.

The lobby that the left can't afford
by Fred on Mon Sep 01, 2008 03:51 AM PDTAlthough the left is on the hunt for anti-imperialism allies and most times closes its eyes on all the crimes of its supposed ally, even some of them can’t keep silent. CASMII lobby is doing the Islamist republic’s bidding so transparently that not may of conscience, regardless of their “higher” dogma, are willing to subscribe to or be associated with such lobby.
