Ha'aretz - Gareth Porter - IPS. I guess french-kissing the Khmer Rouge got stale, so now we snuggle with the Mullahs. No state has clean hands, but some are far worse than others. "The IPS is the perfect intellectual front for Soviet activities which would be resisted if they were to originate openly from the KGB.".........Brian Crozier, director of the London-based Institute for the Study of Conflict, 1978
