What the Left Should be Learning From IranGiordano, Al http://www.counterpunch.org/giordano06192009.htmlPublisher: CounterPunch Date Written: 19/06/2009 Year Published: 2009 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX8606 There are those on the left who mirror neocon thought: They argue that since Washington is in opposition to it, Iran must therefore be considered a 'good' government, worthy of solidarity.
