Unfortunately, our area MP's cannot possibly be well informed on ALL the issues facing them, and are easy prey for sinister organizations such as the MEK and its propaganda arm led by Safavi. I hope more Canadians and especially advisors to our tragically ignorant MP's read more from you. Thank you for this insightful article.

Politicians just say what they think people want to hear as opposed to what is right. Paul is right... the only way to peace is through dialogue. The days of having 'small wars' constrained to regions has now gone... all wars are now, in effect, World wars... having ramifications far beyond any battle zone.

I don't know of any. Really, all we hear about are a a few dozen or so cases pertaining to sedition and subversion activities within the context of Iran's criminal justice system, and that's about it. If Obama's advisors really believe that sanctioning CBI will be a "boon" for Iran and threaten disruption of the global economy, it may be vetoed. I say "may" as our current president is the weakest willed in memory, and it's not certain he has the backbone to resist such a highly charged measure, especially heading into an election year.

I attended an international high school in Tehran in 1975, with classmates that were Israeli-Iranian dual citizens. They travelled freely between the two countries. Even though Trita is too young to have firsthand experience with this, with his past research on the Iran-Israeli relationship he might be able to weigh in on this.

What happened to it?! There are a number of characters who openly support the Mullahs in Iran and yet are allowed to continue and work at VOA. That is why VOA Farsi has been losing its popularity amongst the viewers and now this recent action is the epitome of anti-Iranian sentiment in VOA Farsi language.

If our schools taught history clearly we would know this answer. Instead artists have found it necessary to remain anonymous when expressing truth. All manner of spying and lying have spun a deadly web of monetarist deceit. Mass strikes this year have been heard from earth's people Wall Street and London and Egypt et cet. A global community of sovereign nation states with fixed currency exchange rates and Glass-Steagall standards using national economic systems of credit to mount projects to provide food, shelter, and education for our citizens would prepare us to meet the challenges of severe galactic energy changes we are experiencing in our solar system. We must circle the wagons to survive these challenges; we must have that global community of sovereign nation states. Only nuclear energy is efficient enough to supply our energy needs. We must co-operate to survive and to live abundantly as humans created in the image of the Creator.
