Jim Moran, did not hesitate to discuss the negative role played by the Congress,
“there is an engagement road-blocks, how do we engage respectfully is important,
creative engagement on the part of Congress is missing.”
Let alone the government, current administration does not want any possible
engagement with citizens either. “Bush administration is going to make it as
difficult as possible to engage in dialogue with citizen,” said Moran.
With two or three best fiction books written by Iranian American women, Iranian
are still viewed in a monolithic way. Moran said there is deliberate discouragement by
Congress which is very unfortunate, “We can’t even bring diplomats to
Washington, that’s nonsense.”
Moran said, “It seems to me that people that don’t like other, they are never
invited to use their ideas, earth population is increasing, they are leaders countries.
Wayne Gilchrest also agreed that, “there is the issue of humans engaging in
adialogue, they have knowledge about past and don’t want to talk.” Wayne
Gilchrest is the founder and Co-Chair, Dialogue Caucus, U.S. House
of Representative.
Moran said that “Mahmoud Ahmadinejad failed at that as far as statistics are
concerned, he is trying to find a reason to create international stature, and we
don’t know who creates foreign policy, they are only some provocative and
some stupid statements, most productive thing to do create a dialogue panel.”
Talking about war in Iraq Moran said, “we have not done the right thing is Iraq,
our motivation was not pure, people who were running the policy were
incompetent and misguided…Iraq situation distances our dialogue with Iran.”
Moran said that we should try to humanize relationship and talk openly. |
