On the other hand, you yourself would silence all "leftists" in America.  How would you do that Lawrence?  As I recall, you posted a long post to Theoria a while back that being a liberal and leftist in America is tantamount to treason.  What would you do to those committing treason by speaking out against the U.S. government, Lawrence? 
 
Also, I'm waiting to hear how the Shah's extraordinarily repressive techniques against the Iranians was different from what you're railing about.  Why did we put the Shah in in the first place and keep him propped up?  Why did we not oppose his terror campaign?

Well done, Paul.  You may have discovered a Moderate: Kareem Amer.  Although I couldn’t read his statements to verify that they were moderate, I’ll concede that they may very well be.  Maybe after he gets out of prison some of his statements will be translated into English.
