Iran: Next Stop on the Bush War Train?
Join the Shirts Off Coalition at an instructive teach-in on the current situation in Iran, where students are demonstrating for greater democracy. Yet the neo-cons associated with the Bush Administration, led by Michael Ledeen of the American Enterprise Institute, are floating the idea of again forcing a "regime change."
* What's the real situation in Iran? * What (or who) is influencing Bush? * What are the alternatives to war? * Who should our allies be?
Join longtime local Iranian activist Ross Pourzal and Georgetown University sociology professor Mehrdad Mashayekhi at an informational discussion and debate on whether war in Iran is a real possibility, how we can stop it, and the alternatives being presented by the pro-democracy, anti-US intervention forces in Iran. The teach-in is on Tuesday, July 29, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., at the Flemming Center, Ninth and P Streets NW. For more information, call 301/523-4197.
