MITHRAS BLOGS ON RSS FEEDS
I really have to go get one of those set up. Longtime readers of course recall that getting a blogroll started here took me about six months.

IRAN – DUPLICITY OR DIPLOMACY ?
Iran’s complex internal political dynamic which is entirely unlike Iraq under Saddam’s personalized totalitarian regime, makes it difficult to assess the extent to which any constructive move on nuclear issues or terrorism indicates sincerity or a simple concession by the hardliners to play for time until they can regain undisputed authority over moderate reformist Islamists and pro-democracy activists.
Two articles posted on Iranexpert.com exemply this dichotomy. The first is a a story regarding al Qaida suspect extraditions from Iran to third countries and the second is a hardline threat to renege on Iran’s nuclear concessions to the IAEA., something that hardliners bitterly had opposed and only agreed to after the EU foregn ministers visit on the eve of the October 31 deadline.

” RIGHT-WING DEVIATIONIST ! “
An example of the hypersensitive and rigid demand for liberal ideological purity that will ( happily in my view ) cost the Democrats the 2004 election.
Does anyone out there, who is not a wingnut of some kind, really think Dean was advocating courting anyone beyond working class and blue-collar white guys in the South who are constantly demonized by the upper-middle class, went to the
” best schools “, race and gender Taliban wing of the Democratic Party ?
Cultural snobbery and ideological zealotry is a poor mix for a mainstream party.
