      A fantastic segment. Very informative.

      This was a fantastic interview. I learned a great deal. A whole new way of looking at the issues. Shows how complex the question of Iran is and why we need to look past just the nuclear issue if we are to avoid another Iraq fiasco.

      an excellent eye-opening program

      Economic hardship has not stopped other nations from regional ambitions in the past, and Iran is no exception. It is very clear for anyone visiting Iran that Iranians do not mean harm to their neighbors but they see themselves as the dominant power inthe region. It is also clear to anyone visiting Iran's Arab neighbors that they see Iranian power rising. Your program was spot-on.

      Iranians , currently, are struggling to make ends meet.That is all they care. No energy, no interest left for other things. Never mind having influence in the region!

      However, the Islamic Regime is extending its wings abroad to survive. Please, please keep in mind, there is the Nation of Iran/Iranians, and, there is the Islamic Regime . They are not the same! Iran has been majority Shia for a long time; civilized and mind her own business before 1979, and, otherwise

      after Islamic Regime took over in 1979.

      Iran is a Regional Power is

      a joke , and, the creation of those who benefit from this notion.
