Bill Clinton Praised by Iran, Arabs

Newsmax reports:
Ex-president Bill Clinton is winning high praise throughout the Arab world for his recent comments condemning anti-Muslim bias and urging dialogue with Hamas - with even Iranian newspapers touting his go-slow approach to that country's nuclear threat.

Citing Clinton's comments as a constructive alternative to President Bush's dire warnings, the state-run Iran News agency reported Thursday:

"Former US President Bill Clinton recently opined that America had done injustice to the Iranian people by overthrowing the democratically elected government of nationalist prime minister Dr. Mohammad Mossadeq through a CIA-orchestrated coup in 1954. Furthermore, Clinton urged the US government to engage Iran and added that the only way to resolve the nuclear dispute is through negotiations."
Bill Clinton is a rock star in Iran.Well if they allowed rock stars.
