Tehran -- History shows us that a continued, perhaps amplified Iranian influence in the Middle East could help bring safety and stability to the region. Western powers have tried to check Iranian influence in the Middle East, but despite such short-sighted policies, Iran has maintained its traditional significance in the region.
Tehran -- No. Attending the counter-summit will prove to be an immature mistake. It will lead to another episode of betting on people and single issues rather than long-term global affairs. The members of the G-8 have nominated themselves as leaders of world affairs and they must lead by example.
Tehran -- Though it is difficult to envisage a FIFA-colored bulldozer forcing regime change at the UN, some parts of the organization could certainly benefit by adopting FIFA's principles, transparency and common vision, and the Beautiful Game's rules of fair play.
Tehran -- Here we go again! Another round of advisors giving free "strike 'em now" publicity to arms producers and defense contractors. More war, less thought! Another raw recipe for disaster!
