My apologies for the light blogging. Between Thanksgiving, installing a new hard-drive, and now figuring out the best way to get my home videos from digital tape to burned DVD's at a quality I like, my mind has been occupied with things other than politics.
BTW, the mall wasn't bad this afternoon. No worse than the average Saturday. In fact, less crowded than some weekends I've seen. Almost tolerable. In fact, the new Lego store is damn cool. I can't believe I escaped without buying anything. AND, no standing in line to see Santa, as my daughter has decided she's afraid of Santa.
Anawho - back to the serious stuff. Here's the latest from our friends at Blog-Iran:
The Islamic Regime in Iran continues to defy the demands of the Iranian people for Free-Referendum, Justice & Human rights, while also threatening the United States and other nations that support a FREE and DEMOCRATIC Iran.
If you are not already aware - on Wednesday, December 3rd the American Enterprise Institute will host a panel discussion between Islamic Regime opposition leaders in the United States and in Iran via a video conferencing medium. The discussion will be in Farsi because it will be simultaneously broadcast into Iran, but it will also be simultaneously translated into English for everyone else! The program will likely be aired on C-SPAN, however you may want to check the C-SPAN page or ActivistChat.com for programming schedule updates. This will be an unprecedented event and it is likely to have a significant effect on the movement and it may also be a sign of the White House's support of the Iranian struggle and regime change. Please notify all your readers of this event. More information regarding the panel discussion can be found at this link.
Following are very important articles and news alerts you may want to read as well as pass on to your viewers! GOOD LUCK - and continue the GOOD FIGHT!

(:)IRAN RUNAROUND by Peter Brookes
WITH $8 billion a year in trade and a deal pending to up that ante even more, the European Union is Iran's largest trading partner. And it appears that the E.U. - led by France, Germany and Britain - may now value those trade privileges over the principle of opposing the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

(:)REAL AXIS OF EVIL by Ardavan Bahrami (The Iranian)
Glenn Reynolds pointed out this piece over at The Iranian called Real Axis of Evil, by Ardavan Bahrami, which takes the EU to task for its support of those regimes in the Middle-East that continue to brutally repress their populations. His points are valid and certainly they deserve to be raised, I just wish the major media outlets would get off their duffs and start acting like real journalists instead of the intellectually lazy toads they've become.
