What is the Iranian Agenda

Re: “Protest Leader Ends Silence, Defying Tehran With a Meeting” (April 9,2010)

To the Editor:

Nazila Fathi, gives a one sided view, describing much detail about Moussavi and only mentioning Amanidenejad once. It is likely that the Iranian elections were rigged. The fact that the author briefly mentions Amanadinejad means that the author has favoritism towards Moussavi. However, the violence that broke out after the election results, shows that many favored Moussavi over Amanadinejad. Usually, it would be best to support ones leader as the leader is the representative of what the people voted. However, this does not seem to be the case for Iran, as it is likely that the elections were fraudulent. If Amanadinejad were the winner, their probably would not be the violence that the author describes. Ultimately this is a biased article, however. This means that it is hard to know who is the right candidate. In the eyes of Americans, it seems to be the person that is most cooperative with the U.S. government. The factors that play into Amanadinaejad’s strength as a leader is what are his intentions. One way to test this question is to ask what he is trying to accomplish with his agenda.
