The Cold War Between Washington and Tehran
The following is an excerpt from Noam Chomsky's new book Interventions published by City Lights Books.
In the energy-rich Middle East, only two countries have failed to subordinate themselves to Washington's basic demands: Iran and Syria. Accordingly both are enemies, Iran by far the more important.
As was the norm during the Cold War, resort to violence is regularly justified as a reaction to the malign influence of the main enemy, often on the flimsiest of pretexts. Unsurprisingly, as Bush sends more troops to Iraq, tales surface of Iranian interference in the internal affairs of Iraq-a country otherwise free from any foreign interference, on the tacit assumption that Washington rules the world.
In the Cold War-like mentality that prevails in Washington, Tehran is portrayed as the pinnacle in the so-called Shiite Crescent that stretches from Iran to Hezbollah in Lebanon, through Shiite southern Iraq and Syria. And again unsurprisingly, the "surge" in Iraq and escalation of threats and accusations against Iran is accompanied by grudging willingness to attend a conference of regional powers, with the agenda limited to Iraq-more narrowly, to attaining U.S. goals in Iraq.
Presumably this minimal gesture toward diplomacy is intended to allay the growing fears and anger elicited by Washington's heightened aggressiveness, with forces deployed in position to attack Iran and regular provocations and threats.
For the United States, the primary issue in the Middle East has been and remains effective control of its unparalleled energy resources. Access is a secondary matter. Once the oil is on the seas it goes anywhere. Control is understood to be an instrument of global dominance.
Iranian influence in the "crescent" challenges U.S. control. By an accident of geography, the world's major oil resources are in largely Shiite areas of the Middle East: southern Iraq, adjacent regions of Saudi Arabia and Iran, with some of the major reserves of natural gas as well. Washington's worst nightmare would be a loose Shiite alliance controlling most of the world's oil and independent of the United States.
Such a bloc, if it emerges, might even join the Asian Energy Security Grid and Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), based in China. Iran, which already had observer status, is to be admitted as a member of the SCO. The Hong Kong South China Morning Post reported in June 2006 that "Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stole the limelight at the annual meeting of the Shanghai Co-operation Organisation (SCO) by calling on the group to unite against other countries as his nation faces criticism over its nuclear programme." The non-aligned movement meanwhile affirmed Iran's "inalienable right" to pursue these programs, and the SCO (which includes the states of Central Asia) "called on the United States to set a deadline for the withdrawal of military installations from all member states.1
If the Bush planners bring that about, they will have seriously undermined the U.S. position of power in the world.
To Washington, Tehran's principal offense has been its defiance, going back to the overthrow of the Shah in 1979 and the hostage crisis at the U.S. embassy. The grim U.S. role in Iran in earlier years is excised from history. In retribution for Iranian defiance, Washington quickly turned to support for Saddam Hussein's aggression against Iran, which left hundreds of thousands dead and the country in ruins. Then came murderous sanctions, and under Bush, rejection of Iranian diplomatic efforts in favor of increasing threats of direct attack.
Last July (2006), Israel invaded Lebanon, the fifth invasion since 1978. As before, U.S. support for the aggression was a critical factor, the pretexts quickly collapse on inspection, and the consequences for the people of Lebanon are severe. Among the reasons for the U.S.-Israel invasion is that Hezbollah's rockets could be a deterrent to a potential U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran.
Despite the saber-rattling, it is, I suspect, unlikely that the Bush administration will attack Iran. The world is strongly opposed. Seventy-five percent of Americans favor diplomacy over military threats against Iran, and as noted earlier, Americans and Iranians largely agree on nuclear issues. Polls by Terror Free Tomorrow reveal that "Despite a deep historical enmity between Iran's Persian Shiite population and the predominantly Sunni population of its ethnically diverse Arab, Turkish and Pakistani neighbors, the largest percentage of people in these countries favor accepting a nuclear-armed Iran over any American military action." It appears that the U.S. military and intelligence community is also opposed to an attack.
Iran cannot defend itself against U.S. attack, but it can respond in other ways, among them by inciting even more havoc in Iraq. Some issue warnings that are far more grave, among them by the respected British military historian Corelli Barnett, who writes that "an attack on Iran would effectively launch World War III."
The Bush administration has left disasters almost everywhere it has turned, from post-Katrina New Orleans to Iraq. In desperation to salvage something, the administration might undertake the risk of even greater disasters.
Meanwhile Washington may be seeking to destabilize Iran from within.2 The ethnic mix in Iran is complex; much of the population isn't Persian. There are secessionist tendencies and it is likely that Washington is trying to stir them up-in Khuzestan on the Gulf, for example, where Iran's oil is concentrated, a region that is largely Arab, not Persian.
Threat escalation also serves to pressure others to join U.S. efforts to strangle Iran economically, with predictable success in Europe. Another predictable consequence, presumably intended, is to induce the Iranian leadership to be as harsh and repressive as possible, fomenting disorder and perhaps resistance while undermining efforts of courageous Iranian reformers, who are bitterly protesting Washington's tactics. It is also necessary to demonize the leadership. In the West, any wild statement of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, immediately gets circulated in headlines, dubiously translated. But as is well known, Ahmadinejad has no control over foreign policy, which is in the hands of his superior, the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The U.S. media tend to ignore Khamenei's statements, especially if they are conciliatory. For example, it's widely reported when Ahmadinejad says that Israel shouldn't exist-but there is silence when Khamenei says that Iran "shares a common view with Arab countries on the most important Islamic-Arabic issue, namely the issue of Palestine," which would appear to mean that Iran accepts the Arab League position: full normalization of relations with Israel in terms of the international consensus on a two-state settlement that the U.S. and Israel continue to resist, almost alone.3
The U.S. invasion of Iraq virtually instructed Iran to develop a nuclear deterrent. Israeli military historian Martin van Creveld writes that after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, "had the Iranians not tried to build nuclear weapons, they would be crazy." The message of the invasion, loud and clear, was that the U.S. will attack at will, as long as the target is defenseless. Now Iran is ringed by U.S. military forces in Afghanistan, Iraq, Turkey and the Persian Gulf and close by are nuclear-armed Pakistan and particularly Israel, the regional superpower, thanks to U.S. support.
As already discussed, Iranian efforts to negotiate outstanding issues were rebuffed by Washington, and an EU-Iranian agreement was apparently undermined by Washington's refusal to withdraw threats of attack. A genuine interest in preventing the development of nuclear weapons in Iran-and the escalating warlike tension in the region-would lead Washington to implement the EU bargain, agree to meaningful negotiations and join with others to move toward integrating Iran into the international economic system, in accord with public opinion in the United States, Iran, neighboring states, and virtually the entire rest of the world.

OK gyptian,
- Israel have Nukes today.
- Now you say that Iran should have Nukes as well.
- If Iran will have them - how could you refuse the next step where Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turky will want some? (Countries that already declared they want Nukes if Iran will have it)
- After all major M.E powers will have Nukes, smaller countries will want one, and perhaps smaller groups.
You see where the trend is going?
As Nukes become more and more width spread, how long before one nuke will fall in the hand of a Mad man?
I say Iran should be stopped, and israel should be convinced to disarmed.
Here is a question published by Stephen Hawking, "can the human race survive the next 100 years?
here is another site you should check -
All this rhetoric is useless. Disarmament is a worthy cause if and only if its universal. In other words ALL countries should discard their nuclear arsenal. Im all for it. However does anyone actually see Israel or the U.S. or any other nuclear state voluntarily disarming besdies Brazil and South Africa? Especially in the conflict ridden middle-east (thanks in large part to the U.S., U.K. and Israel), being nuclear-armed is the only path available to keep us (U.S.) out of there.
No amount of Gandhian non-violence is going to help !!
I can point you to a 100 different sites on the internet which pretty much sez the same thing. We are responsible for this and unless we all disarm unilaterally you cannot prevent a nuclear armed Iran. As for Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt going nuclear, im willing to bet a whole lotta money we (the U.S.) will not raise a stink and will turn a blind eye to it like we did to Pakistans nuclear weapons !
All the breast-beating and preaching to the choir is useless unless we follow our own rules !!
gyptian, I'm not an expert. I don't know what is the best way to stop the spread of Nuclear warheads.
If it was up to me, I would do it through education, diplomacy, and economic incentives, and not by unleashing war. This soution seemed to work in N. Korea's case.
And how exactly will war be unleashed by Iran going nuclear ? Unless the U.S. bombs Iran and starts another war in the region I dont see how Iran will drop a nuclear weapon on any state unless they are willing to be wiped off the map. But having a nuclear weapon/s will definitely prevent the U.S. or Israel from bombing Iran due to the threat of retaliation. Its really as simple as that.
Please do not try and convince me that Iran is a terrorsist state waiting to acquire a nuclear weapon so that they can bomb the U.S. or israel !! Thats nonsense and not true. You can convince maybe half this country with that argument coz they will believe anything their friggin faithful leader says (lets not forget they believe in 'rapture' i recently learned !!).
gyptian, When I said "unleashing war" I meant: USA or Israel will attack Iran.

"DC is probably [just] misinformed"
Not plausible. In the first falsehood on this thread, dcbeltway alleged - as she has on another thread - that Chomsky "denies" the Israeli lobby "exists":
dcbeltway July 28th, 2007 2:12 pm
"Chomsky would never blame...the Israeli lobby. He denies it exists."
As the quote I linked shows, this allegation is false:
baska July 28th, 2007 6:53 pm
"Chomsky himself acknowledges that the [Israeli] lobby plays a significant part in shaping the [U.S.] political environment in which support for Israel becomes automatic and unquestioned."
Merely "misinformed"? Not plausible - the above link is to an article dcbeltway has linked and told others to read. So she cannot be "misinformed" that her allegation is false. That leaves several possibilities - stupidity (can't recall basic points she reads), bias (screens out major facts that directly contradict her pov), or a liar.
Evaluating both her dishonest response to my above post (dcbeltway July 28th, 2007 10:58 pm), and her subsequent post - misrepresenting Chomsky's essential alliance with critics of Israel who use the term apartheid (dcbeltway July 29th, 2007 8:17 pm)- I conclude dishonesty. On the other hand, it appears, increasingly, that limited mental ability and bias are co-factors.
Baksa-yawn. As I mentioned before you have an anger problem and need to chill out. This is my last response to you.
dcbeltway - There is nothing wrong with Chomsky's type of Zionism.
Seems to me as the most human solution - If the hatred level is reduced.
RE: English as a second language and 'dual loyalties'
dcbeltway July 30th, 2007 11:50 pm
"No intellectual no matter who they are should be put up on a pedastool"
A "pedastool"? I mean this is too funny.
English isn't your first language, is it?
I guess we could use this evidence of non-English-speaking background to raise questions about possible 'tribal' allegiances or 'dual-loyalties' - and, in general, to cast suspicion on your (so to speak) ideas. But...that would be as sleazy as impugning Chomsky's ideas because he's a Jew, rather than evaluating their legitimate place in a greater U.S. progressive community. Wouldn't it?
Wow Baska you are really a hater bashing foreigners. There is nothing wrong with English being a person's second language but I guess in your book only those who speak English are morally superior and fit to write on the internet. I didn't saying anything bad about Chomsky for being Jewish. There's nothing wrong with his background or religion and I did not accuse him of dual loyalties. I'd also like to add there is no spellcheck button here and this is not an academic research paper. Its a forum. But then there are always the spelling nazis who use spelling as a means to attack people's arguments and accuse those arguments of being invalid. Besides its wrong to attack people whose first language is not English but then you enjoy doing that and think you are more of an intellectual for doing so. You probably don't even hold a passport or have been outside the US eh? I mention that Amira Haas who is Jewish and the daughter of holocaust survivors uses apartheid and speaks of the lobby more often than Chomsky who tends to dodge these issues. You really are good at twisting peoples words around but then again its obvious you have some real personal issues you need to deal with since you cannot argue in a civil manner without lowering yourself to personal attacks, insults and ridiculous accusations. You only make yourself look bad. Congratulations for being the biggot on this forum.
By the way Noam's father came from the Ukraine Baska so I am sure you would bash him too for not speaking English fluently and as his second language in your little biggotted world.
dcbeltway August 1st, 2007 3:43 pm
"I didn't saying anything bad about Chomsky for being Jewish. There's nothing wrong with his background or religion and I did not accuse him of dual loyalties."
So how DOES dcbeltway explain why Chomsky (supposedly) "tends to dodge...issues" like the word "apartheid" for Israel; (supposedly) "denies" the Israeli lobby "exists;" and, thereby, supports a foreign policy that (supposedly) is good for Israel but hurts the U.S.? Let's read her link "On Chomsky and Israel" (dcbeltway July 29th, 2007 8:17 pm) and find out...
...Well well, Mr. Petras 'explains' why Chomsky does these things: Chomsky's views of Israel and the Israeli lobby are due to his being a Jew. But of course dcbeltway doesn't think that - she posted the link because she DISAGREES with Petras' allegation that he is "ideologically driven" by his ethnicity:
"[Chomsky's] virtues are totally absent when it comes to discussing...the role of his own ethnic group, the Jewish pro-Israel lobby...This political blindness is not unknown or uncommon. History is replete of intellectual critics of...abuses of power by others, but not of one's own kin and kind. Chomsky's long history...culminated in his recent conjoining with the US Zionist propaganda machine."
And the REASON dcbeltway disagrees with the link she told others to read is because she knows that - once a person's ideas are explained, first of all, on the basis of ethnic background - that opens the door to others doing the same thing to her. And judging her ideas by the same standard she judges Chomsky's would be unfair.
Baska I am an American born and bred by the way but you showed your own personal bigotry towards foriegners by labeling me as a foreigner.
As far as your own tribal loyalties thats obvious which is why you are all riled up.
"English isn't your first language, is it?"
Wow .. baska you are a bigot. And like a lot of other fellow AIPAC members on this forum the slightest criticism of israel is enough to make you froth at the mouth. Reading the above link its easy to surmise that Chomsky does indeed hesitate to hold israel accountable readily, instead he tries to lay the entire blame at the feet of the U.S. and this could very well stem from his personal history. Who knows !!
RE: won't respond? promises, promises...
dcbeltway July 30th, 2007 11:50 pm
"I won't respond to you-"
Who cares – you only whine about how mistreated you are. So watch in silence as I ridicule and debunk your feebleminded posts.
dcbeltway August 1st, 2007 3:43 pm
"its wrong to attack people whose first language is not English but then you enjoy doing that and-"
Boo hoo, sob! sob! sob! - I'm soooo sorry.
p.s. - Two missing commas - rewrite & turn in for homework. Thanks.
dcbeltway July 30th, 2007 11:50 pm
"You need to...get out more."
You need remedial English.
Chomsky does have a bias when it comes to Zionism. Baksa can only attack my grammar and spelling and utilize ad homein attacks but clearly he cannot attack my main arguments which is why he is latching on to other issues. Baksa so how is your job at AIPAC or is it the ADL you are working for? Good job outting yourself. Chomsky had Zionist leanings in his youth and considered moving to Israel according to Jeffrey Blankfort below. How can I trust what he says today especially when the Zionist lobby is pushing for war with Iran and here Chomsky says the US won't attack Iran? Chomsky is telling us the US won't attack Iran when the lobby is working over time to ensure we do? It looks like Chomsky is playing some sort of gatekeeping role then getting the left to be passive. I like what Chomsky has written about South America and other US policies. He brings up important points about these issues. I think his work is important. But I cannot trust him when it comes to Zionism. Everyone has loyalties. There's nothing wrong with being loyal to issues however it doesn't mean we should trust them and their words when it comes to those issues. As an American my loyalty is to America first not to some foreign nation so that's my own personal bias. Being loyal to America means exposing the truth then I will do it. Yes, I'll be the first to admit my spelling sucks but I am usually in a rush as unlike Baksa I don't troll around at blogs all day. My foreigner husband and I both have lives to lead:). Baksa stop being a spelling/grammar nazi!
Jeffrey Blankfort: Yes, Chomsky tends to simplify US politics, blaming everything on the elites and whoever is in the White House while avoiding the role of Congress. Today, eleven members of the Senate are Jewish, that is 11% of the 100 members while only 2% of the American population is Jewish. He and his supporters, either directly or indirectly, raise the spectre of anti-Semitism, of provoking anti-Semitism, and what happens is that people keep their mouth shut. Now, Chomsky, who was a Zionist when he was younger--he lived in Israel, he has friends in Israel, was considering moving to Israel-- admitted in 1974 that this might influence his perspective – and he wanted his readers to know that. He wrote this in 1974 and yet few people who read Chomsky today know that. They do not know that he was Zionist, that he considered living in Israel.
In fact, for years he did not speak about Israel while he was speaking out about the US in Central America and Vietnam. It was a mutual friend of ours, Dr. Israel Shahak, who convinced Chomsky that he should speak up against what Israel is doing to the Palestinians. It is interesting that the most important book that Chomsky wrote about the Israeli-Palestinian issue, The Fateful Triangle, begins actually with a defence of Israel, a defence in the sense that while acknowledging all the Israeli crimes against the Palestinians, he blames the US for allowing it to happen. Now, this defence, I would say, could be used by Pinochet in Chile or any dictator the US has supported around the world, to take the primary responsibility from them and place it on the US. And I don't buy this. And most people who understand the situation, don't buy it either when they come to look at it. A number of friends of mine, who are friends of Chomsky, have come to agree with me. The problem is, I would say, as fellow academics, that they don't feel comfortable criticizing Chomsky, particularly since he is often attacked by the right wing.

He has defended many people who have been under attack and has thus gained their loyalty. He also has been a mentor to a number of academics, and ironically, Chomsky has been the doorway for so many people to become involved in politics. They read Chomsky, and they become excited about political work. And it is only later, if they are fortunate, that they discover that Chomsky not only opens the door, he closes it as well!
S.C.: Which would mean that Chomsky gives less importance to the pro-Israeli lobby than it has? Has Chomsky upheld unjust options for the Palestinians in order to preserve Israel, for which he has an emotional attachment? Is this a unique case or has Chomsky defended the indefensible?
Jeffrey Blankfort: For the most part. On most other subjects, he is more open. On this particular one, he won't even debate the issue. In 1991 we had an exchange that was published in a left newspaper in New York, the National Guardian, and a friend there wanted to set up a debate between Chomsky and myself on the issue of the Israel lobby at the Socialist Scholars Conference. Chomsky refused, writing "that it would not be useful." After his refusal, I asked a professor in California, Joel Beinin, whom I know, and who takes Chomsky's position, if he would debate me. His response was identical: "it would not be useful!"
S.C.: On Iran, which today is caught in a vise, is Chomsky, in your opinion, also minimizing the role of the lobby acting in favor of Israel in the United States?
Jeffrey Blankfort: Regarding Iran, Chomsky and the others seem to be ignoring the campaign that the lobby is waging to get us into another war, one that will be far more catastrophic than the disaster that has taken place in Iraq. There is a coalition of the 12 leading Jewish women's organizations, representing a million Jewish women, calling itself "One Voice for Israel," that formed in 2002 in response to the bad publicity Israel received over the destruction of Jenin. Each year, in what it calls "Take-5," it gets it gets it members to call the White House at the same time and then on another day, to do the same to Congress. Each time they have done it, they have tied up the Capitol switchboard. It is one of the ways in which they show their power.
Here is the link for all to see on Jeffrey Blankfort's interview:

text: Ask Dr. Blair Hammond My Son's Fatigue and Low Appetite Print E-mail Tweet Q: My 8-year-old son seems to be overly tired lately. He is always sleeping and not playing even at school. He used to be very active even at home. He complains of a mild stomachache and his appetite has been on the low side. He has history of kidney issues (streptococcus) but last month his specialist said everything is back to normal. What should I do? — Victoria, Canada A: I always take a parent's concern about a child being more tired than usual very seriously. Most often it is just related to increased activity and decreased sleep. If your son has a chronic medical condition like kidney disease, however, it is possible that there is a medical cause for his fatigue. If your son takes any medications, make sure his fatigue is not related to a medication side effect. Another very common cause of fatigue is anemia. Anemia may be due to chronic disease, it can be caused by kidney disease in particular, or it may result from blood loss or low iron. A complete blood count can quickly let you know if your son is anemic. You mentioned that your son has a decreased appetite and mild stomach pains. Infections can cause fatigue in addition to other symptoms. Epstein-Barr virus is notorious for causing "mono" and fatigue. Occasionally, stress or depression can also cause patients to feel fatigued. If your son has any weight loss or fever, that could signal something more serious. I certainly would have your son evaluated by his pediatrician. A full history of all of his symptoms and an examination will help your doctor determine the cause. Probably some blood work will be done to make sure that infection, anemia, or some other type of inflammation is not the cause of his tiredness.

Adverse Events Policy
An adverse event is defined as any outcome which negatively impacts animal well‐being. For the purposes of this policy, an adverse event includes any such outcome which was not described as an expected or likely adverse outcome in the approved protocol. An adverse event also includes adverse outcomes which were described as expected or likely outcomes in the approved protocol, but occur at higher rates than originally anticipated.
Reporting to the Veterinarians
It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to promptly report any adverse events to the veterinary staff for assessment. The veterinarians will work with the researcher to develop a resolution plan to ensure the well‐being of the animals by circumventing or alleviating the impact of the adverse events.
Examples of adverse events which must be reported include, but are not limited to:
- Genetically modified or mutant animals that manifest a phenotype that negatively affects animal well‐being;
- Physical restraint of an animal that results in lesions, illness, or behavioral changes;
- A surgical procedure that results in unexpected complications; and/or
- Morbidity or mortality rates more than 10% higher than described in the protocol, regardless of the reason.
Examples of potential resolution plan modifications which might be requested include, but are not limited to:
- Change in anesthetic;
- Procedural modifications;
- More frequent monitoring intervals;
- Additional humane endpoints;
- Updated description of expected or likely adverse outcomes in the approved protocol; and/or
- Adverse events report to the IACUC.
Examples of adverse outcomes that are not required to be reported as an adverse event include:
- Injury/illness unrelated to approved procedures and being treated by the clinical veterinarians.
- Death or morbidity of animals described as expected in the approved IACUC protocol.
Reporting to the IACUC
In most cases, the veterinarians will assist in determining whether it is necessary for the PI to submit an adverse events report to the IACUC.
When the adverse event is the result of noncompliance with the approved protocol, or morbidity or mortality rates are more than 10% higher than described in the protocol, the PI must promptly submit an adverse event report to the IACUC.

My Republican friends and neighbors should be pleased that I'm devoting this column to the recognition and praise for the words of two of their own.
First, President George W. Bush—now I admit that normally I don't have much admiration or praise for this man; however, on September 20, 2001 when he gave his speech to the Joint Session of Congress after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, I thought he was inspiring and that his words were inspired. He took the lead in reminding all Americans, and the world, that we are not at war with Muslims.
"…I also want to speak tonight directly to Muslims throughout the world. We respect your faith. It's practiced freely by many millions of Americans and by millions more in countries that America counts as friends. Its teachings are good and peaceful, and those who commit evil in the name of Allah blaspheme the name of Allah. The terrorists are traitors to their own faith, trying, in effect, to hijack Islam itself.
The enemy of America is not our many Muslim friends. It is not our many Arab friends. Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists and every government that supports them…"
On Tuesday, August 3rd, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, standing in front of the Statue of Liberty, addressed New York City after the Landmark Preservation Commission unanimously refused to grant landmark status to the building located two blocks from the World Trade Center site where a new mosque and community center are proposed. His words were inspiring and eloquent:
"…We may not always agree with every one of our neighbors. That's life and its part of living in such a diverse and dense city. But we also recognize that part of being a New Yorker is living with your neighbors in mutual respect and tolerance. It was exactly that spirit of openness and acceptance that was attacked on 9/11.
"On that day, 3,000 people were killed because some murderous fanatics didn't want us to enjoy the freedom to profess our own faiths, to speak our own minds, to follow our own dreams and to live our own lives.
"Of all our precious freedoms, the most important may be the freedom to worship as we wish. And it is a freedom that…was hard-won over many years…
"This morning, the City's Landmark Preservation Commission unanimously voted not to extend landmark status to the building on Park Place where the mosque and community center are planned. The decision was based solely on the fact that there was little architectural significance to the building. But with or without landmark designation, there is nothing in the law that would prevent the owners from opening a mosque within the existing building.
The simple fact is this building is private property, and the owners have a right to use the building as a house of worship.
"The government has no right whatsoever to deny that right—and if it were tried, the courts would almost certainly strike it down as a violation of the U.S. Constitution. Whatever you may think of the proposed mosque and community center, lost in the heat of the debate has been a basic question—should government attempt to deny private citizens the right to build a house of worship on private property based on their particular religion? That may happen in other countries, but we should never allow it to happen here.
This nation was founded on the principle that the government must never choose between religions, or favor one over another…
"Let us not forget that Muslims were among those murdered on 9/11 and that our Muslim neighbors grieved with us as New Yorkers and as Americans. We would betray our values—and play into our enemies' hands—if we were to treat Muslims differently than anyone else. In fact, to cave to popular sentiment would be to hand a victory to the terrorists—and we should not stand for that…
"On September 11, 2001 thousands of first responders heroically rushed to the scene and saved tens of thousands of lives. More than 400 of those first responders did not make it out alive. In rushing into those burning buildings, not one of them asked 'What God do you pray to?' 'What beliefs do you hold?'
"The attack was an act of war—and our first responders defended not only our City but also our country and our Constitution. We do not honor their lives by denying the very Constitutional rights they died protecting. We honor their lives by defending those rights—and the freedoms that the terrorists attacked…
"Political controversies come and go, but our values and our traditions endure—and there is no neighborhood in this City that is off limits to God's love and mercy…"
That is profound. That is the America I want to live in.

The Klitschko brothers visit KPCC
This afternoon we welcomed heavyweight boxing champions Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko to our studios for an interview to be aired in a few weeks. The brothers are doing interviews in advance of the opening of the new documentary, Klitschko, which features the back-story of how the pair became the first brothers to ever simultaneously capture all the heavyweight titles available.
I won't bother recounting the interview, as you'll have a chance to hear it in about three weeks. However, I wanted to share with you what the brothers were like off-mic during their visit.
Wladimir greeted me by saying how much he appreciated my willingness to interview them, given how hard he'd heard it was to get a booking on AirTalk. I told him the pleasure was mine and that I'd seen many of his and Vitali's fights over the years. I'm a big fan of both boxers and thanked them for coming to talk about the documentary and their careers. Over the course of our 45-minutes together, I understood why the Klitschkos are generally well-liked in boxing. They were pleasant and gracious.

English students and graduates, please let us know your recent publications and accomplishments. If you would like to be included here, email Ellen Harrington.
Justin Parmer won first place at an international student poster competition sponsored by the Professional Communication Society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Parmer, a Junior English/Education double major at USA, created his poster "Attic vs. Asiatic as Explained through Apple Advertising" as a midterm project for English 402: Rhetoric, Ancient and Modern, taught by Dr. Nicole Amare during the Spring 2012 semester. Parmer's poster and abstract analyzed ads for Apple, Inc. that were published 30 years apart, noting that Apple, Inc.'s ads were more effective when they incorporated an Attic style of rhetoric--concise, clear, and clever--than when they used the more lofty and ornate Asiatic rhetorical style. Parmer presented his poster during a conference session of the International Professional Communication Conference, October 8-10, 2012 at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, FL. In addition, his poster was recognized during a special awards ceremony at the conference on October 9. Parmer's poster beat out several dozen entries submitted by both undergraduate and graduate students from various universities.

Happy Pink Shirt Day!
Hello Cool World is proud to be a partner for Pink Shirt Day!
For those who don't know - Pink Shirt Day originated in Nova Scotia, where a student was bullied for wearing pink. The friends of the student that was bullied, David Shepherd and Travis Price, distributed pink shirts to grade 9 students who wore them in support of their friend who was bullied. Since then, pink shirt day is celebrated all over the world as a statement against bullying and homophobia.
We love this demonstration of solidarity against bullying!
One of my favorite campaigns that we did a few years ago was called the "Super Power Project" where we used video to help youth tell stories about gender oppression and violence against women. What was interesting, was that we were able to engage with boys about how to be allies to people around them that might be having difficult experiences. While we may not share the same experiences, the great thing about solidarity is that we can still support those around us, and build a community of caring, empathetic, loving people. Pink shirt day is great example of how we can do that!

Building an advisory practice today is challenging: according to Cerulli Associates, there are more than 300,000 client-facing advisors chasing the 15.4 million households that control 87% of the wealth.1,2 Take a moment and do the math; there just aren't that many high-quality prospective clients available in the marketplace—and most of them have at least one advisor.
Because of this, the successful advisor needs to execute more creative methods for generating new clients. My experience with advisors over the past two decades has confirmed that one of the most efficient ways of doing this is to educate CPAs and attorneys—who already have earned their clients' trust—about the unique ways you can solve an investor's problems.
Of course, your competition goes to the same workshops and reads the same articles you do. Plus, over the years investors have become more sophisticated, and so has your competition. As a result, your message will need to be especially poignant to stand out from the pack.
In spite of these challenges, the importance of building a professional network should not be dismissed. The ability to work effectively with professionals, such as CPAs and attorneys, could be the key to growing your business more rapidly and much more efficiently. Professionals like these are in a uniquely powerful position to make high-quality referrals: they have earned the trust of successful individuals and families; they are knowledgeable about financial matters; and they already provide advice about many other decisions that their clients have to make.
Unfortunately, as a group they are inundated with requests from Financial Advisors (FAs) and other vendors who are trying to tap into this lucrative network. The good news is that most of the other messages are primitive and merely focus on defining a range of services or describing the basic "service orientation" of their advisory practice. In most cases, their messaging is all about the various ways in which they care for clients—their "valuable" services.
While these types of messages do a good job of describing the valuable services the FA offers, they are not referable—they don't motivate a professional to take the reputational risk of making a referral. We'll talk more about this idea of "risk" later. For now, it's important to recognize that professionals will not refer clients to you simply because you show up and talk about what you do. Referable messages are different from messages about the value of what you do. They are much more about the needs of the person you are hoping to serve—the audience of the message—and they require a very distinct type of structure and content in order to motivate action.
To make your message stand out from the rest and truly resonate, it's first helpful to understand why many professionals are reluctant to make referrals. After spending countless hours in seminars and meetings, I've learned from CPAs and attorneys that they are generally reluctant to make referrals for two reasons: (1) they are uncomfortable with the risk that making a referral exposes them to; and (2) the Financial Advisor doesn't make it easy for them to move toward making the referral—the FA expects the relationship to accelerate from the introduction to a collaboration after a single 30-minute meeting.
Both of these objections can be overcome by avoiding three common mistakes that FAs make when reaching out to CPAs and attorneys. By avoiding these errors, which can interrupt the ability of that professional to make a referral, you can significantly increase the likelihood that the professional will choose to collaborate with you.
The first common mistake ties back to our earlier discussion of valuable versus referable. Many advisors feel the need to describe the services, processes and features of their business. The reality is that any worthwhile CPA or attorney knows what a Financial Advisor is and what most advisory firms do.
Additionally, peppering the conversation with overused phrases or hyperboles such as "superior service" or "more personalized attention" or "widest array of capabilities" doesn't add any value. These statements don't present an actual message or offer any compelling value—they aren't memorable, never mind referable. Rather than motivate trust and comfort with the idea of collaboration, they stir up feelings of doubt.
Anyone who has achieved success in business has heard plenty of pitches. Successful CPAs and attorneys have heard more than their share. From these many and varied experiences, most professionals have developed a keen sense of skepticism, especially about exaggerated claims and hyperboles. For the advisor who wants to motivate referrals, it would be better to avoid meeting with a professional than to exaggerate the quality of your services or inflate the descriptions of your services.
Avoid this mistake by talking about a specific problem that a particular group of investors is currently struggling with and how you can solve that problem. The idea is to inspire the professional with the depth of your specialized knowledge—your expertise—and to invite him or her to engage you for the value of that knowledge. This kind of messaging is both valuable and referable; the CPA or attorney can decide on the merits of your message whether or not to refer a client.
A second mistake commonly made by many advisors is to offer a referral in order to get a referral. This practice goes back at least several decades and is based on the hardwired human tendency to maintain reciprocity or fairness in relationships. While it is always beneficial to understand basic patterns of human behavior, I don't recommend trading referrals for a very simple reason: it cheapens the nature of the conversation between you and the professional.
When you offer a referral as a way to inspire the other person to give you "back" a referral, you are turning the trust and regard you've built into currency or a commodity. This strategy also assumes that the professional is motivated by the goal of generating more revenue. It doesn't address the "I'm taking a big risk in making a referral to this Financial Advisor" problem.
The CPAs and attorneys you most want to work with have plenty of business; their clients are important to them, and they won't offer a referral as a way of "evening the score." In fact, rather than thinking you expect a referral in return, the professional will likely assume that you want them to provide an important, high-quality professional service to the client. This is, of course, what they should think about when it comes to servicing new clients!
As in the first mistake, the key is to remember that the CPA or attorney needs to hear a compelling reason for making the referral. Sending them a client will most likely get you a heart-felt "thank you," but until and unless you provide a clear and compelling reason for them to make a referral to you, that's about all you are likely to get.
The third mistake advisors make is simply asking the professional to take too big a risk. Essentially, the advisor says, "Here's a problem some of your clients have—send them to me and I'll fix it." Outlining a problem some investors are facing and a solution that you offer is an effective way for you to showcase your knowledge of capital markets and of investment products. To the extent possible, message this way to as many professionals as you can. However, as you are messaging, always remember that, for the other person, making a personal referral to you is a big step. In many cases you'll need to make it easier for the other person to overcome this barrier.
Instead of attempting to win the referral by using clichéd examples of your abilities, swapping referrals or expecting big commitments of interest after one or two meetings, I recommend the following:
By avoiding the common mistakes and instead focusing on (1) highlighting a dangerous problem that the professionals' clients are exposed to, and for which you have a solution, (2) making yourself available as someone who can solve a problem, and (3) providing a low-risk and no-cost intermediate step or trial experience of engagement, you can significantly increase the number of quality of referrals you garner from professionals. When this method is effectively designed and properly delivered, I know of no more efficient way to build a pipeline of new business.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
America Online's proposed acquisition of Netscape Communications earlier this week will create a stronger competitor for Microsoft, Microsoft executives said yesterday. The software giant is also watching the development of Linux to determine if one day the Unix-like operating system will pose a threat to Windows NT, the executives added.
AOL's combination of its portal site with the Netscape browser -- along with its strategic alliance with Sun Microsystems to develop Internet devices using Sun's Java programming language -- create a stronger competitor for Microsoft in the quest for "eyeballs", said John Leftwich, marketing vice president for Microsoft Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
"The scramble now is to build the best portal," Leftwich said. "Advertising is the main revenue stream" for vendors looking to capture a piece of the Web market, and the way to get more advertising is to have more users coming to your portal site to the World Wide Web.
Beyond attracting visitors, portal sites want to deliver "click-throughs" -- connecting users to other sites in order to attract vendor partnerships to their portal site, Leftwich said. So the battle for the most alluring portal site with the best click-through rate will keep Microsoft busy as it competes with the newly bolstered AOL, he said.
On another competitive front, Microsoft said that the existence of the Unix-like operating system Linux proves that there is healthy competition in the operating system market, although Microsoft is still saying it doesn't consider Linux to be a serious competitor -- at least not for the time being.
Software developers know where its NT operating system is going because Microsoft has extensive and far-reaching development plans for the product, Leftwich said. But Linux's direction is not so clear, he said, as the product is developed by users and not by a single company.
"There is no roadmap for Linux," Leftwich said. "For the Microsoft developer, there is a level of confidence in which you can write for the Windows platform."
Microsoft continues to have no plans to port any of its applications to the Linux platform. "Why should we? What does it give us?" Leftwich asked. "Linux doesn't give us anything over and above what we've got."
"I can see some of its advantages, such as price," Leftwich concluded. "I think Linux is more of a threat or a challenge to traditional Unix vendors. We will continue to interoperate with it -- we'll keep watching Linux."
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Runaway art: Seattle artist Tracy Boyd has 2 shows in town
Seattle artist Tracy Boyd has two new shows in Seattle galleries, both spotlighting how fast and loose brush strokes can be, yet still cohere in a powerful image. "Churning Currents" is at Sisko Gallery; "Into the Wild: Paintings on Reclaimed Tarps" is at Vermillion.
Seattle Times arts writer
Tracy Boyd
'Churning Currents'
11 a.m.-5 p.m. Fridays-Sundays through Nov. 2, Sisko Gallery, 3126 Elliott Ave., Seattle (206-283-2998 or www.siskogallery.com ).
4 p.m.-midnight Tuesdays-Sundays, 4 p.m.-1:30 a.m. Fridays-Saturdays through Nov. 9, Vermillion, 1508 11th Ave., Seattle (206-709-9797 or www.vermillionseattle.com ).
The stallion runs — but the paint also runs, suffusing the image with such nervous, galloping, slantwise energy that you half expect it to splatter right off the canvas.
Seattle artist Tracy Boyd's paintings, on show at two local galleries, are all about that energy. They revel in how fast and loose her brush-strokes can be and yet still cohere in a powerful image — whether that image is of a horse, a bull, a human visage or a hapless figure falling through space.
In "Churning Currents" at Sisko Gallery, her paintings — mostly oils on canvas — are mounted on neat square or rectangular frameworks. The subject matter may be frenzied, but it's contained within crisply defined fields of vision.
"Gaze" greets you as you enter the gallery. It's an enormous "headshot" (72 inches by 72 inches) of a face composed from a multitude of hectic brush strokes crisscrossing in a multitude of directions. Yet there's something steadying in the way the eyes are rendered that makes the title make sense.
Further back in the gallery, Boyd captures horses in a variety of moods and actions, echoed in the paintings' titles ("Freedom," "Escape," "Regal," "Fighting Chance"). Everything about her application of paint to the canvas suggests velocity dissolving toward abstraction. The finest of these may be "Ghost," in which a stallion half-materializes in midair out of snowy whiteness.
Rounding out the Sisko show are studies of sprawled human figures tumbling backward through a void ("Descent," "Plunge," "Immersion") and studies of hands stretching out toward the viewer ("Reach," "Grab," "Grasp," "Grip").
Up at Vermillion, the material on which Boyd paints is as unruly as her imagery. "Into the Wild: Paintings on Reclaimed Tarps" offers large-scale work in acrylics done, as Boyd explains in her artist's statement, on "aged, weathered tarp previously used to cover machinery, tools and army engines."
The tarps, some stretching from floor to ceiling, hang loosely from the wall, giving Boyd an uneven surface to work with (some even have rips in them). The subjects include horses, bulls, an elk and, curiously, Republican politicians.
Boyd's brushwork is even more energetic than in the Sisko show. "Violence," "Mayhem," "Tailspin" and "Ending" evoke the final stages of a bullfight, with the animal composed from swirls of crudely painted streaks. Step close to them and the images atomize into color chatter. Step back and all you see/feel is desperate animal energy. Boyd's use of lurid yellow is particularly effective. It seems to signify both the creature's blood and the hardness of the matador's lance piercing its flesh.
In "Ron," "Karl" and "Dick" (as in Reagan, Rove and Cheney), Boyd employs different tactics. These large-scale portraits, executed with the same busy brush strokes that energize "Gaze" at Sisko, are overlaid with dripping reds, whites and blues straight out of Jackson Pollock. The effect is ambiguous. It looks as though they'd either been vandalized by their detractors or had their embrace of Uncle Sam messily explode in their faces, leaving them dripping in patriotic gore.
Both shows are contrasting must-see ventures in what paint can do and what a canvas can be.

Click on photo to read more about a potential college football playoff
I'm not really feeling this idea, but it's a start. The most talks there are about a college football playoff the closer we get to actually having one.. Right now it's still a dream, but what a sweet dream it is – 8 teams battling it out in a playoff for the National Title. Awesome. Unfortunately, it would crush total revenues from bowl season.
