Juan Cole has put together a remembrance of the recent (and ongoing) Iranian protests in pictures and film on the occasion of the American celebration of its Declaration of Independence.
Also he posts this response from Fareed Zakaria to a a question put to him on CNN about whether the US should bomb Iran…
Zakaria: It would be bizarre to bomb Iran– which means bombing Iranians — now that we have seen the inside of that country. Moussavi and his supporters want a less confrontational approach to the world. So do many members of the establishment.
Moussavi attacked Ahmadinejad repeatedly for his aggressive foreign policy. So we now know the answer to the question, “Are there moderates in Iran?” Yes, millions of them.’
Happy Fourth of July everyone…
