"When there is no respect for others and no indication of mutual concern and co-operation, a people will make themselves vulnerable to the Shahs and Ayatollahs of the world." (link via Steppenwolf).

My colleagues are working on an Iran report, but no date is yet set for publication. Do keep in touch, or keep an eye on or website, www.crisisweb.org.
