My Comment: The ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu believed that if you do not know your enemy .... you can then never defeat them. Reza Kahlili has written a very compelling and revealing portrait of who are the rulers of Iran .... and make no mistake about it .... they are the enemy.
Unfortunately .... while I am sure that many European Governments know who these people are ... they .... like the Obama Administration .... have and will continue to pursue an appeasement path.

This has not only given North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il a propaganda boost that he could have only dreamed about during the Bush years, but it confirms to the Iranians that the policy of appeasement continues.
