You're so utterly full of shit. Take a look at the people I've had on my radio show to discuss Iran over the last year:
May 31, 2007: Saadia Toor and Kourosh Shemirani on how Western leftists should think about the abuse of women and same-sexers in Iran and other Muslim countries
April 12, 2007: Hamid Dabashi, professor in the Middle Eastern studies department at Columbia and author of Iran: A People Interrupted, on the history of that complex, consequential country
December 14, 2006: Hamid Dabashi on Iran
August 17, 2006: Val Moghadam on politics and gender relations in Iran
June 1, 2006 Ervand Abrahamian on Iran
And, sometime in the next couple of weeks, Ervand Abrahamian again.
