"Iran, The Green Movement and the USA" presents the dilemma that
the West faces in dealing with the Islamic Republic of Iran and
their nuclear armament, and how the unfolding civil rights movement
in Iran (the Green Movement) will be affected by this interaction.
Iranian scholar and author Hamid Dabashi argues that if Obama
negotiates with Ahmadinejad, he will further strengthen the IRI
regionally and legitimize Ahmadinejad's otherwise troubled
presidency internationally; and if he were not to do so and opt for
further economic sanctions and/or military strikes, he will
paradoxically strengthen the IRI regionally and altogether destroy
the domestic opposition and the budding Green Movement. This
elegantly written book presents an Iran weak in domestic affairs,
but strong in regional geopolitics, providing the reader with a
dynamic picture of the region, and a purposeful analytic of how to
understand and deal with it. It also features a short history of
how the US and Iran were placed in this confrontational position
and who their respective allies in the region are.
