Another Revolution in Iran?

Hosted by
In the late 70's, Iran popularized the slogan -death to America.- Today, it has a moderate government struggling to make changes in a regime still run by Islamic clerics, but one that also has the international community worried about a possible nuclear weapons program well underway. As the International Atomic Energy Agency determines what to do about such reports, protesting students clash with vigilantes in the streets of Tehran over regime change, and expatriate Iranians beam satellite television programs urging revolution into Iran. Guest host Sara Terry considers what it all means for a country President Bush labeled as part of an axis of evil, with journalists, the expatriate head of Persian satellite TV, a former White House aide during the Iranian hostage crisis, and a national security expert from the Council on Foreign Relations.
