Code Pink Founders Visit Iran, share, care, love
Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans, two wealthy American women and co-founders of Code Pink, arrived in Tehran on a citizen diplomacy trip. Well known for their radical stances and for their continued disruption of political events ... Benjamin and Evans portray a rosy and unrealistic situation, where Iranians of all social classes and political persuasions welcome them enthusiastically, share their anti-war sentiments, and desire for peaceful and loving relations with the U.S. and all nations. Medea Benjamin, who lived for seven years in Cuba calling the Castro dictatorship a paradise on earth, notices that in Tehran public transportation is priced right 20 cents for the subway and 2 cents for the bus.
