Shirin Ebadi is lobbying for the invading arab terrorist regime in Iran. Since the killer mullas have occupied Iran, they have bought and bribed traitors like Shirin Ebadi. She's visiting the U.S. to promote the mullas and show a false depiction of their murderous regime. Why doesn't she talk of the GENOCIDE happening in Iran? Why doen't she talk of the public hangings, raping and stoning of women and activists? Why doesn't she portray Islam correctly, that it teaches to kill non-muslims?
She talks of open dialogue with the terrorists.
By the way, Ms. Shirin, the Shah was not a dictator as you supporters of terrorists love to think. If the Shah was a dictator, he would have killed and used force against the terrorists.

Shirin was the one highlight on a program that was basically one long anti-american rant (on Memorial Day no less - thanks WNYC). Brian tried to goad her into bashing american foreign policy but Shirin refused to take the bait. It seems like the more one who has seen real oppresion, the more respect they have for the few countries brave enough to stand up against tyrants.
