The Secret Dealings of Israel, Iran, and the United States

By Democracy Now
In a speech at Columbia University, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad defended Iran's right to nuclear power but denied Iran was seeking to build nuclear weapons. Ahmadinejad's appearance sparked widespread protests at Columbia. We speak with Trita Parsi, author of "Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Israel, Iran and the United States" and Baruch professor Ervand Abrahamian, co-author of "Targeting Iran."
  • Ervand Abrahamian, Iran expert and CUNY Distinguished Professor of History at Baruch College, City University of New York. He is the author of several books on Iran and the co-author of a new book from City Lights called "Targeting Iran."
  • Trita Parsi, President of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), the largest Iranian-American organization in the US. He is the author of "Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Israel, Iran, and the United States."

Note:

A Untied effort to reduce the flow of wealth to criminals will, at the same time, increase the flow of wealth to honest productive people. The difficult part is the part where wealth flows to criminals pretending to be honest productive people.

This is the difficult part. Is it better to punish the guilty and the innocent or JUST the guilty?

See?

Sending money to people who give you no other choice should illuminate something significant.

Example:

Hint: If the transfer of wealth is voluntary, then, you can stop sending wealth when YOU think the wealth is being used to commit crimes against innocent people. YOU thereby impose sanctions. If the transfer of wealth is involuntary and YOU must continue to send wealth even while YOU think that your wealth is being used to commit crimes against the innocent, then, YOU are a victim or YOU are a willing accessory to crime.

Ignoring the facts does not absolve guilt. Ignoring the facts does not constitute ignorance. Ignoring the facts merely rationalizes and fabricates an imaginary fantasy world. In a fantasy world the innocent are punished for the crimes committed by criminals.
