Radio Free Europe was an important tool in the downfall of the Soviet Union. There is a reason that dictators suppress truth and the current tyrants in Iran are now trying to eliminate Radio Farda so that those seeking a freer Iran are kept in the dark. Rich Lowry from National Review asks why the advocates of "smart power" in the Obama administration, as opposed to the supposed militarists of the Bush administration, are letting funding of Radio Farda and other free radio stations drop to less than half of what it was. Good question.
