<noframes><body><div id="smallorange">October 5, 2007</div><br> <br><br> <B>BILL MOYERS:</B> Welcome to the JOURNAL.<P> Talk of war with Iran has been on the lips of armchair warriors all week, many of them the same voices that four and a half years ago called for invading Iraq...From former UN Ambassador John Bolton to neo-conservative icon Norman Podheretz to RUPERT MURDOCH's pundits at FOXnews. <P> In the NEW YORKER, investigative reporter Seymour Hersh called launching an attack against Iran practically a done deal. <P> But as the drumbeat for war against Iran grew louder this week, you had to wonder if anyone beating those drums ever stopped to ask how an American first strike on Iran would go over with the Iranians. <p> I don't mean Ahmadinejad or the ayatollahs, who would use the provocation to consolidate their hold on power. I mean the man and woman in the street. <p>You may remember the name Shareen Abadi. She won The Nobel Prize in 2003 for standing up for human rights in Iran, including fighting discrimination against women. For her efforts, she received death threats from her own people. Here is what this human rights activist said last year about what would happen if the united states attacks Iran. Quote. 'Iranians will unite, forgetting their differences with their government, and they will fiercely and tenaciously defend their country. <P> Even so, that doesn't seem to deter powerful forces in this country from making the case for military strikes against Iran. <p> You're about to meet some of them. <P> <br><BR></body></noframes>
