First of all, please excuse my recent absence from posting. I am working on a book regarding education and tenure, and it is an exciting yet time consuming process. However, thank god for the Freedom of Information Commission, as they work wonders with getting stonewalling deans to give the precious information they so dearly hold on to.
Iran
The turmoil in Iran should mean between little to nothing to the Obama agenda. While it would be nice to have a more accommodating leader in place, the fact is that all foreign policy in Iran is dictated by the Supreme Ruler, not the president, and the fact that Ahmadinejad is looked at as the decision maker is a testament to his political skills and the media’s desire to buy into his shtick. The commitment to work peaceably with Iran should not change, even if the outcome of the “democratic” election is questionable. We were prepared to work with him before; nothing changes now.
I have quite a few articles for this blog that are half written I will post in the next few weeks as I complete them, please excuse the content if it is at all dated.
