"We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each others' happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone." (Charlie Chaplin)
Erin Burnett's broadcasts from Iran are excellent. They go a long way toward bettering our understanding of that nation. Journalism of this quality helps us to intelligently assess U.S. policies relating to Iran.
Are U.S. sanctions against Iran working? Define working!
