• LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Open letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney

  Dear Prime Minister Carney,
  We might have guessed that your speech in Davos was simply a smoke screen for an option to continue with the old moral order of “might makes right.”
  Your statements in support of the U.S./Israeli war on Iran are condemnable. Tens of thousands will likely be killed in the rogue states’ bid to balkanize Iran. Already hundreds of Iranians have been killed, including upwards of 160 in a strike on a girl’s elementary school in Minab, southern Iran.
