Nobel Peace Winner Visits US from Iran
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Shirin Ebadi to Answer Your Questions Online
By David Swanson
Shirin Ebadi (Persian: شیرین عبادی - Širin Ebâdi) is an Iranian lawyer, human rights activist and founder of the Children's Rights Support Association in Iran. On October 10, 2003, Ebadi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her significant and pioneering efforts for democracy and human rights, especially women's and children's rights. She is the first Iranian, the first Shia and the first Muslim woman to receive the prize. She is currently visiting the United States, and is focusing her energies on opening lines of communication and preventing war between the United States and Iran.
Here's a chance to ask Ebadi questions about Iran and the United States that are on your mind. I'll be interviewing her live, and she'll be taking your questions, between 3 and 4 p.m. ET on Thursday, May 1, 2008.
Go to http://www.thepeoplespeakradio.net/listen-live to listen live. You'll find instructions there to enter a paltalk chat room where you can post questions. We will not be taking questions by telephone during this interview. Following the show, the audio file will be posted at http://www.thepeoplespeakradio.net/audio/2008

Shirin
Shirin Ebadi is something that activists can rally the public towards moderating Al=Qaeda and the Taliban.
Our military is doing nothing more than strengthening these groups and the President of Iran feeds off of our
troops in Iraq. I do not believe impeachment will stop this way of thinking about problems throughout the world.
We need to rally the public and our political leaders toward talking with Mullahs, Clerics, and other religious leaders
to use the teachings of the Koran to try to moderate the languange and the violence directed towards 'infidels"
or those who are not pure in thinking. The impeachment of Bush is nothing more than a sideshow in my opinion.
There needs to be a revolution of our thinking and the way we interact in the world.
