Clinton, Gibbs on Iran Nukes -- Out of the Mouths of Babes

@Caru



There is a level of doubt that has risen purely from the foreign policy of the mullahs, and their sense of world order. In the time of the Shah, the US did not mind even if Iran had the bomb. So it is the type of people that are running the country that matters. We have a lot of intelligent people in Iran and outside, who can represent Iran, and do not have wacko 7th Century ideas.



The question you need to be asking is, why did a modern state in 1979 get derailed by Carter. What was he worried about when he said Iran is an Island of Stability. Obviously that is exactly what he did not want. Just think what Iran would be now. Quo Bene?



It is very simple.

Poll on Freedom of Speech in Iran

The same WPO poll asked respondents to assess actual freedom of speech in Iran: “In Iran, how free do you think people are to express controversial political views, without fear of being harassed or punished?” Only 27% of Iranians said they were completely free in this regard, but another 44% said they were somewhat free; 23% said they were “not very free” (12%) or “not at all free” (11%).

The interesting part of this whole report is that it makes Ahmadinejad look popular, whilst it knows too well that the people in Iran cannot answer any questions, just in case they get killed by the mullahs.
