the fills on forresponsible for getting france and perhaps the world to intervene there. he s just back from tripoli. then as another baseball season comes to a close in america, we sit down with michael lewis, the author of moneyball, to talk about baseball and its lessons for business and life. first, here s my take. regular gps watchers will know that i was in tehran last week to interview president mahmoud ahmadinejad. you can go to our web site and watch excerpts of the interview. being in iran made me think it our policy toward that country which strikes me as being stuck in a time warp. you will remember that early in the 2008 presidential campaign, barack obama signaleded that he was going to have a different foreign policy than george bush, less black and white. and he chose as his example, iran. he argued that simply pressuring the country was not a policy, and obama offered to talk to iran s leaders to try to establish a dialogue and reduce tensions. well,
