In an editorial entitled “How to Engage Iran” [Shirin] Ebadi, “an Iranian Nobel Peace laureate, offers some friendly advice, and a rebuke, to President Obama” as follows:
“Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ‘is at the lowest level of popularity one can imagine…If the West focuses exclusively on the nuclear issue, Ahmadinejad can tell his people that the West is against Iran’s national interest and rally people to his cause. But if the West presses also on its human rights record, he will find himself in a position where his popular base is getting weaker and weaker by the day.’”
WATCHDOG: We have heard the same from an Iranian ex-patriot friend. A wag of the tail!
