Iran's politics and Pink Floyd make strange bedfellows in an updated take on the classic 1979 anthem "Another Brick In The Wall" sung by an exiled Iranian duo. According to The Guardian, the reworked version -- called "Hey Ayatollah, Leave Those Kids Alone!" -- is performed by Blurred Vision, two Iranian-born brothers who have been living in exile in Canada who would not provide their surname through fear of reprisals against family members who remain in the country. Shot by Iranian film director Babak Payami, the video intercuts footage of the band's performance with news images of street violence following Iran's 2009 elections, as well as a figure resembling the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Already known for his outspoken stance on Iran, Pink Floyd's Roger Waters gave Blurred Vision permission to release the track, now available on iTunes. According to Sepp, one half of Blurred Vision, the song was chosen because it has become an underground youth anthem in his native Iran.

It must be the summer heat but the moonbats seem to be loonier than ever when it comes to Israel and Jews. Oliver Stone urges us to see the positive side of Hitler and Ahmadinejad, while imitating his two heroes by railing against Jewish control of the media. (To his credit, Stone has apologized for his bigoted statements, but Meg Ryan has refused to apologize for canceling a scheduled visit to the Jerusalem Film Festival, even after learning that the festival has promoted pro-Palestinian and pro-peace films for years.) Doctors Without Borders suddenly erects borders...

General Curtis LeMay was a tough, often brilliant, pugnacious deployer of air power -- organizing the debilitating and destructive carpet bombing campaigns of Japan and later viewed by many as being a bit too trigger happy when it came to using nuclear weapons against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Curtis LeMay as metaphor captures the likes of John Bolton, Bill Kristol, Charles Krauthammer, Max Boot, Joshua Muravchik, Liz Cheney, Richard Perle, Elliot Abrams, and others who seem unable to resist hatching the next military conflict rather than thinking through first how to resuscitate American power...

When earlier this summer Ayatollah Ali Khameni proclaimed that the opposition leaders of the Green movement "would be responsible for bloodshed and chaos" if protests against the government persisted, memories from more than three decades earlier flooded my mind. Khamenei and I had been cell mates together in 1974 at the Komiteh Moshtarak, a security prison used under the Shah, whom we had both opposed. This is a story I tell, along with others, in my memoir Letters to My Torturer. Our friendship began when the prison guard opened the door to a cell and threw me...

Since Harry Truman led the world in recognizing the State of Israel, the United States has been its staunchest ally. Through decades of wars and near-death experiences, America has stood by Israel with military, diplomatic and financial support. Over the last year, however, tensions have emerged between Washington and Jerusalem. Frustrated by the lack of any meaningful progress in bringing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to a close, the United States has pressured Israel to stop any further development on Palestinian lands, a source of tremendous friction for Arabs on the streets and their governments trying to...

Upon his arrival to Tehran, Shahram Amiri, an Iranian junior scientist who claimed that he was kidnapped by the CIA in Saudi Arabia fourteen months ago, appeared on Iran's State TV claiming that the Americans had suggested he be swapped with the "three American spies" imprisoned in Tehran (referring to the three young American hikers). Like much of U.S. public opinion, I believe that the American hikers, Shane, Sara and Josh are by no means spies. In a conversation with the trios' lawyer, he told me that "there is nothing in their case but illegal entrance...

While I'm interested to see Obama's impending visit to the View, I'd like to see him break through directly to the Fox audience, who are being fed a very skewed and dangerous narrative through a calculated filter. Nine of the top ten rated news shows are on Fox, which reaches a unique audience of Americans that tune out most if not all other sources of news and information. The few million people tuning into Fox and tuning out any opposing take on reality are in dire need of a dose of actual discourse, not just one extremely slanted...

Telegraph: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian leader, says Paul the Octopus, the sea creature that correctly predicted the outcome of World Cup games, is a symbol of all that is wrong with the western world. He claims that the octopus is a symbol of decadence and decay among "his enemies". Read the whole story: Telegraph Get HuffPost World On Twitter, Facebook, and Google Buzz! Know something we don't?

TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad inaugurated a new policy on Tuesday to encourage population growth, dismissing Iran's decades of internationally-acclaimed family planning as ungodly and a Western import. The new government initiative will pay families for every new child and deposit money into the newborn's bank account until they reach 18, effectively rolling back years of efforts to boost the economy by reducing the country's once runaway population growth. "Those who raise idea of family planning, they are thinking in the realm of the secular world," Ahmadinejad said during the inauguration ceremony. The...

Recently, there has been a torrent of high-profile calls for military strikes -- either by the United States or by Israel -- against Iranian nuclear targets. Amid this push for war with Iran, no one is asking -- much less answering -- what we believe is a critical and fundamental question: What, exactly, would be the legal basis for attacking the Islamic Republic? While the legal basis for America's invasion of Iraq in 2003 was clearly inadequate, there were at least some legal authorities -- Security Council resolutions, etc. -- that could be (mis)interpreted and...
