"No one who attended the event can consider Mr. Timmerman's account fair or balanced."

Oh really? Wanna bet?
It figures you'd have something petty to say about Timmerman. Truth about MEK hurts, huh?

I just didn't agree with Mr. Timmerman's account of the event. There were thousands of Iranians at the event from all ends of the political spectrum. I spent my time at the rally listening to the incredibly gifted speakers and speaking with Iranians who wanted to talk about the future of Iran. I'm not sure why anyone would want to seek out and interview people who were not particularly familiar with the events of the day unless they are intentionally trying to misrepresent the event. Why do you think Mr. T. didn't interview speakers from the main stage or the energetic Iranians holding signs in the larger crowd?

The speakers focused on an inclusive democracy in Iran and I'm looking forward to reading the transcripts and balanced accounts of the event. I am inspired by Iranians and Americans who want to solve the Iran problem that just keeps growing and growing. Mr. Timmerman didn't walk into that crowd looking for a solution; he went into looking for a distraction. He found it and you are distracted. Good for you.
