I know that my name has been mentioned in it again. But it's obviously not self-promotion. It's about informing MeFi readers about the situation in Iran, which is almost being ignored by the media because of the Nuclear issue. But these things are important too.

It's nice to see a politics post that's not about Bush. hoder, what do you think that the US can do to apply pressure on Iran without it backfiring into provoking a nationalist anti-US reaction?
