Beeman, writer, professor, and chairman of the department of anthropology at the University of Minnesota, expresses his concern over American intervention in the current state of affairs in Iran, arguing that “decades of United States interference in Iranian affairs have guaranteed that any official American support of an Iranian reform movement will poison that movement with the plausible accusation of another round of American desire to dominate Iran.”
Beeman argues that political evolution is the only means to consolidated political reform in Iran and that U.S. “help” to the Green Movement will only damage that process.
