One of the more depressing stories for those of us who favor democracy in Iran is that the films of Michael Moore have been making their way into that country and evidently having an influence. Thankfully some peole are striking back with corrective information (and films). You can find out the details at Gary Metz’s blog Regime Change Iran – a site I recommend you bookmark.

1. Bruce W.:Moore is just the emboidiment of loathsomeness. I actually cringe whenever I see his photo. He will reap what he sows; may he repent or know no peace.
On a more positive note, see today’s Iraq the Model post.
(Oh, and can anyone, in not-too-technical language, instruct me how to insert links within posts? My direct e-mail is bruce_wechsler@adp.com Much obliged.)

Kerry caused the world to believe that we fight wars with unchecked atrocities, a lie that persists to this day and is believed by Europeans and our own lefties. Kerry was rewarded with the publicity he needed to run for the Senate.
Michael Moore spread all sorts of lies about the US, and he has been rewarded by becoming filthy rich.
