[Peace-discuss] Lee Camp interviews Diane Perlman, on how to get rid of nuclear weapons

Agreed, which is one of the reasons I have deluged the Peace Discuss List with articles promoting varying perspectives of the protests in Iran.

We are like spectators at a sporting event, we have our favorite teams but we have no influence on the outcome of the game other than to ensure fairness and no interference on the part of “money interests.” “Money interests" or those we have placed in power through either lack of interest or inability to change our system based on profit. Which is why “opposing any and all U.S. intervention no matter what “ as you say, should always be our main focus.

Good article about the Iranian protests.

Based on what the U.S. State Dept. / CIA et al have done over the decades in overthrowing governments it didn’t like by means of economic sabotage and astro turf ( fake ) protest groups that were funded and trained and staffed with CIA operatives and hired criminals, culminating in the so called “ color revolutions “ of recent years, we need to be suspicious when things like that which is occurring in Iran happen.
However, on the other hand we shouldn’t be dismissive of all protest actions in a particular country that the U.S. government hates as phony and instigated.
The Iranian protests are legitimate and I support the Iranian Working class in their struggles against economic austerity as well as their desires to have a more democratic government.
That does NOT mean that I support ANY interference in the internal affairs of any country by the U.S. government and it’s bought and paid for proxies.
Sometimes it is difficult to determine what is legitimate or not but when it is the case that protests are “ home grown “ and legitimate, I think that anti-war / anti-imperialist activists can “ walk and chew gum at the same time “, by supporting the goals of Working people in a country while at the same time opposing any and all U.S. intervention no matter what.
