Iran Lawmakers Defy Radical Leader

They are reaching out on their own, according to Fox:

Iranian deputies were gathering signatures to try and form an
Iranian-U.S. friendship committee in parliament, one of the legislators involved
in the effort said Tuesday.
Darioush Ghanbari, one of at least 10 deputies
who has signed the document calling for the establishment of a Iran-U.S.
friendship committee, said Iranian parliamentarians were seeking to reduce
tensions with America and "explain Iran's realities to the U.S. Congress."

"In the absence of formal diplomatic relations, we seek to
establish a parliamentary relationship with the U.S. Congress and fill the
existing gap of contacts between the two nations," Ghanbari told The Associated
Press.
Ghanbari said the document was signed by both conservatives and
reformists and more signatures were expected by the end of the day.

Wonder why the Left fails to speak out against Iran's current government as being divisive and hurting Iran's image in the world? Rather than reaching out to dictators, let's support moderate movements within the country. It seems like Bush's plan is working!
