Current Events

RESPONSE: I read the article named, "Commentary: World should shun Iranian leader." The article speaks not only about the Iranian leader, but also about the relationship of Iran with the United States and the UN (United Nations). There are problems occuring in Iran dealing with the government, which is characterized as a theocracy. A theocracy is a government that has ruling with religious importance. In Iran, there are protests going on dealing with how the people view the government and the leader, President Ahmadinejad. During the protests people have been reported to be tortured and beaten. This is cruel and my opinion is that the government does not necessarily care about the people; rather, it cares about staying in power. The United States is trying to reach out to Iran to a certain point so they can work on their relatinship. For now though, we must take it slow and come to compromises or agreements.
