Neocons (and many Democrats) try to wreck Iran talks

The Nation
by Bob Dreyfuss

01/10/14

The fact that an accord between the United States and Iran, along with the other P5+1 world powers, would remove Iran as a potential nuclear threat and might do wonders to stabilize the entire Middle East hasn t dissuaded the far right, the pro-Likud Israel lobby and the neoconservatives from trying to wreck any possibility that President Obama s diplomacy might succeed. It s a precise analogue to the Republican party s efforts to shut down the government, block every White House policy initiative and generally act as the Party of No. But in the case of Iran, the reactionaries include many Democrats, including dozens of US senators...

How the US Used a *Terrorism* Ploy To Attack Islamic Charity to Iran

Gareth Porter, Truthout: Contrary to President Obama s promise to make it easier for American Muslims to fulfill their religious obligation to give to charity, federal prosecutors continue to target Islamic charities and their donors, as illustrated by the recent prosecution of a couple in Portland, Oregon.

Excluding Iran From the Syria Talks: A Stupid Policy

Robert Naiman, Truthout: Ignoring Iran when it comes to Syrian talks is a mistake. Maybe policies that apply only to Iran win plaudits at cocktail parties inside the Beltway, but they sound ridiculous in much of the rest of the world.

L. Michael Hager, Truthout: Negotiations with Iran are at a critical stage, as are the US-brokered peace talks with Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Yet both peace efforts are jeopardized by AIPAC-inspired senators or by Israel itself.
