You're arguing with phantoms. That doesn't describe me, or Val Moghadam, or any of the signers of the open letter denouncing your Iran coverage on MRZine. Many many Iranians, perhaps most, are sick of rule by theocrats. Your definition of "Western leftists" seems to cover everyone from cruise missile liberals to revolutionary socialists - with only Yoshie Furuhashi boldly forging an independent anti-imperialist path. It hurts to see this nonsense above MR's URL.
