Quote of the Day

"If we neglect to be vocal about human rights, our message to the Iranian people is 'We don't care about you. We only care about nukes.' Ultimately, it has to be Iranians themselves who change their history. We can't want it more than they do. But it should be a U.S. foreign policy imperative not to do anything to deter the green movement's success or alter its trajectory. We cannot forget that the underlying problem we have with Iran has more to do with the character of its regime than its nuclear ambitions."
