NIAC

“Why would Ambassador John Limbert, a former hostage imprisoned for 444 days by the government in Iran, join the advisory board of an organization that supposedly represents the interests of the very same government that imprisoned him?” This is the statement made by Trita Parsi of NIAC which means nothing. There are also some families of the Pan Am Flight 103 victims who believe in conspiracy theories. The fact that Trita Parsi uses such a shaky argument to prove NIAC’s independence shows that what we have here is murky organization.

  

 

Yes! There is a connection between human security and human rights!

Today a representative from the White House will speak in my daughter's class about leadership. Last night their homework was to write a letter to the president. The representative will put their letters with the White House mail. This is what my seven year old wrote to her president.

Dear President Barack Obama,

My name is /////. I go to ///// elementary school. I am in second grade.
There was an assignment in my class to write a letter to you about the issues and ideas I have.

One: You should help more people to get health insurance.

Two: Every child has to have healthy lunch choices at school.

Three: Every Human has rights. Please support Human Rights in Iran.

Four: Everyone should have a good security system so that no one will break in to their homes.

Sincerely,
/////
