You’re arguing with phantoms. That doesn’t describe me, or Val
Moghadam, or any of the signers of the open letter denouncing your
Iran coverage on MRZine. Many many Iranians, perhaps most, are sick
of rule by theocrats. Your definition of “Western leftists” seems to
cover everyone from cruise missile liberals to revolutionary
socialists - with only Yoshie Furuhashi boldly forging an independent
anti-imperialist path. It hurts to see this nonsense above MR’s URL.
