a special envoy to south sudan, to sudan i should say, now co-chair of a north korean human rights effortlked about the abject failure of the nuclear talks and the delinking of human rights to those and how human rights had grossly deteriorated because they were not even on the table and people were not there for -- not subjected to relief that they might have gotten. the same issue being replayed with iran. we've done it on trade issues with china and doing it on trade issues with vietnam and many others but the north korean and iranian absolutely are appropriate parallels and very, very discouraging that it is not there front and center. how do you trust a regime that butchers its own people. i would say to miss baheri, in 1983 i joined president reagan at the white house when they had a mobilization and the president reagan spoke out boldly how alarmed and dismayed we were at the persecution of baha'i in iran and he talked about the 100 men and women who had been hanged or shot since khomeini had come in, one of those was your dad obviously and my greatest sympathy, all of us on behalf
