Click on "Listen to The Current: Part 1 "

It was on the radio in Canada this morning.

Peter Galbraith, former U.S. Ambassador to Croatia, gives a very good explanation of how Ahmedinejad is not all that relavent, and how he's being demonized in the same way Saddam was.
David Frum (Mr. "axis of evil") is brought on to comment, and then Mr. Galbraith dismantles what Frum has to say.

Most interesting is the history of the negotiations explained by Mr. Galbraith. Essentially, Iran was willing to open it's nuke programs to complete transparency for only a few minor concesions from the US in 2003. The US answer was "we don't negotiate with evil". When the Bush admin says they've attempted to negotiate, they're lying.

It's must-hear radio for all Americans dealing with your current drumbeat of war with Iran.

7. I find Peter Galbraith invariably worth listening to
This sounds like it was a really interesting inteview. He's a smart guy- but then he had an awfully smart dad.

Thanks for the summary.
