Trusting Khomeini – Richard Falk in the New York Times, February 1979.
Accusations that the current governing class could be equally insane in their negotiations with Iran seem certainly and happily false.

“Both your slogans are beautiful,” Rouhani says after some students shout death to US and others “we love you”
Peace in our time. Obviously.
Professor Falk is still around and continues to be quite a piece of work.
He’s not just any Useful Idiot.
“Falk later changed his opinion of Khomeini’s regime, calling it “the most terroristic since Hitler”
The fact that he changed his mind is somewhat encouraging, however to be so completely and utterly incorrect in the first place speaks volumes on his credibility and intelligence. The term “useful idiot” appears to be accurate with strong emphasis on the second word. Just another fanatical anti-Semitic waste of oxygen.
Most charitable explanation? Hapless dupe. Most likely explanation? Prog vermin.
Another left-wing Jew with a bias against Israel. Unfortunately, for all of us, this is not without precedent.
You backwards benighted H8rs are too stupid to understand.
Open minded people like us understand that everyone else throughout the world are !JUST LIKE US! Everyone in the world is reasonable open-minded, kind, caring and respectful of others. They all just want to peacefully and respectfully get along with everyone else in the world. But hateful and mistrusting patriarchical reactionaries in the West have poisoned the entire world’s atmosphere and caused the oppressed and victimized people of the world to hate us.
The New York Times should be known as the paper of broken record…
No mentions of Walter Duranty yet? It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
I am more inclined to follow Stratfor Intelligence’s geopolitical perspective. It makes no sense for the USA to be the military surrogate for the radical Islamic nature of Saudi foreign policy. Lebanon, Libya, Egypt, Iraq and Afganistan all fall into this category. Increased sources of world crude is undermining Saudi and OPEC influence. The USA has far more to gain by detaching and using their influence to play one against the other.
From a geographical perspective Iran has far more to offer. Let alone their own resources they dominate Iraq as well. Their northern boundaries provide exposure to the ‘stans’ that in turn border Russia. Russia is in a losing position as their ME alliances gravitate to ‘loser’ countries such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
What does this mean for Canada. I advocate a Canadian oil output of 8 – 10 million bpd by 2025. It would provide Canada with the wealth that would enable protecting Artic sovereignty. It would allow Canada to diversify foreign trade away from a dominant USA. It would provide the financial strength to develop an independent foreign policy.
The three key players who do not want to see this level of Canadian production are OPEC led by the Saudis, Russia and the USA. The latter two as Canada would challenge their Artic claims and the USA in particular as a wealthier Canada would have the ability to set an independent industrial strategy.
I expect all three of these countries are funding those who oppose enhanced Canadian oil production. I also expect that their funding will include those who oppose PMSH in the next federal election. To believe anything different is naïve. Chinese money found its way into the Chretin and Martin campaigns and supposedly into the Obama campaign.
And why, why won’t we pay reparations?
Love your name BTW.
Um, was there supposed to be a /sarc at the end of this? Can you add it before LAS starts his posting? Please?

Canadian PM To Resign After Israel Visit?
They are very good at spreading lies as well.
It’s like one has to become a liar to counter the liars.
Being a liberal means never having to say you’re sorry for being wrong about the mad, theocratic state of Iran.
What a huge crock of scats
Can’t figure out why everyone connected to the UN seems to be borderline insane. A magnet for left wing nuts, despots,professional busybodies and world class drones. Richard Falk must feel right at home. Useful idiot is spot on.
CT. Good comments. Thanks. You may extend your thinking to the likes of Al Gore and Maurice Strong.
A nice article originating with John Ivison, who’s incandescent admiration for Prime Minister Harper sometimes soars to one on the magic 1-10 scale.
Cheers
We need a nuclear program post haste.
Do these a-holes ever get anything even close to correct? The elite liberal intelligentsia really do bring to mind the original meaning of “sophisticated”.
