Responsible leftists should be making efforts to counter propaganda like this, but don’t expect Doug to do it — he’s too busy countering me to bother thinking about what the empire is doing to the Iranian people and to do the right thing to stop it.

You’re so utterly full of shit. Take a look at the people I’ve had on
my radio show to discuss Iran over the last year:

May 31, 2007: Saadia Toor and Kourosh Shemirani on how Western
leftists should think about the abuse of women and same-sexers in
Iran and other Muslim countries

April 12, 2007: Hamid Dabashi, professor in the Middle Eastern
studies department at Columbia and author of Iran: A People
Interrupted, on the history of that complex, consequential country

December 14, 2006: Hamid Dabashi on Iran

August 17, 2006: Val Moghadam on politics and gender relations in Iran

June 1, 2006 Ervand Abrahamian on Iran

And, sometime in the next couple of weeks, Ervand Abrahamian again.

Doug
