Inside Iran: Bitter Friends, Bosom Enemies February 12, 2008

The heat is rising and it's time to take a fresh look at our frenemy, Iran.

Is Iran the new Iraq in U.S. foreign policy?
Are the people of Iran anti-U.S., or is only the current regime?
Is there an effective difference?

An American journalist, an Iranian journalist and a professor of Iranian culture, politics and history will help demystify Iran and lead us to a new understanding of the future of our relationship with our neighbors in the Middle East.
