A voice of reason. I can personally attest to the US flair for the demonization of Iran. I remember the campaign against Ayatollah Khomeini in the the early eighties. I was a new Muslim, so it confused me. I did some reading and found Imam Khomeini to be the very opposite of his US media caricature.
But voices of reason get shouted down easily. One reason is that they usually are in the minority. So whatever anyone can do to provide a forum for more voices of reason is a great thing.
