The Friday Imams of Tehran are picked/approved by the Leader’s office, and their sermons are scrutinized as they form the ‘message of the week.’ A dispassionate and objective rendering of Iranian political science cannot ignore proclamations at Friday Praters such as the one delivered by Hojatoleslam Sidiqi this week that a main goal of the revolution was to cut relations with the West.Nader Uskowihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808543185109048956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-50673528752212504052012-07-14T20:12:42.516-04:002012-07-14T20:12:42.516-04:00Let them eat cake.LOL!Let them eat cake.LOL!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-53054027074267725992012-07-14T15:57:27.412-04:002012-07-14T15:57:27.412-04:00The Islamic Republic of Iran certainly doesn't...The Islamic Republic of Iran certainly doesn't have a monopoly on "say what?" types of comments coming from its punditry.<br /><br />One of my personal favorite web pages is the online Doonesbury site at Slate:<br /><br />http://doonesbury.slate.com/<br /><br />There, they have a "Today's Mudline" featuring a ticker of "say what?" type comments made by American leaders and pundits, as well as a "Say What?" quote which is refreshed on a daily basis.<br /><br />I have to say, however, that when it comes to reporting on Iran from here in the West, most if not all of what we see is in the style of "Today's Mudline" with heavy emphasis on the "Say What?" variety of quotations.<br /><br />As such, and in its place, I would suggest more dispassionate and objective renderings of Iranian political science, in efforts to produce more reliable analyses on the subject.Mark Pyruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00595161519097596575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-20299558119909565542012-07-14T15:44:50.476-04:002012-07-14T15:44:50.476-04:00Yah, these guys are gonna last.
