A Brooklyn father who sent his son to an abusive boot camp for delinquents in the Ca- ribbean is suing a Far Rockaway couple and 30 others for $411 million, claiming they destroyed his reputation.

Ahmadinejad is out to garner rhetorical and political victories around the world. Ah- madinejad’s visits are propelled by his desire to entice leaders and to excite their masses and his own. Micah D. Halpern Recently, Ahma- dinejad visited Nigeria. There were two reasons for his visit. The fi rst is that Nigeria assumed the rotating chairmanship of the United Na- tions Security Council. Ahmadinejad went to Nigeria to forge a strong bond between Ni- gerian leadership and himself, between the people of Nigeria and the people and Iran. The Iranian envisions the bond between Iran and Nigeria to be a counter balance to the infl uence exerted by the Western world. The second reason for this visit was because Nigeria was the site of the D-8 Confer- ence. The D-8 is an organization composed of the eight largest developing Muslim countries. The D stands for “developing” and the countries are Egypt, Nigeria, Indonesia, Ban- gladesh, Malaysia, Pakistan, Turkey and Iran. These countries represent nearly one billion people. This organization fi ts perfectly into the vision Ahmadinejad has crafted for Iran. The D-8 gives preferential treatment to its members in developing trade and commerce deals. Between the years 2006 and 2010 trade between D-8 members increased from $35 billion to $68 billion. That trade accounts for 3.3% of the world’s trade. Over the next few years the D-8 hopes to bring that number as high as 15% If these eight Muslim countries and their organization continue to harness their power we will see a signifi cant shift in the sands of the world market and Iran will be closer to fulfi lling its vision of unseating Western and US infl uence and power. Iran’s Foreign Ministry has just announced that Ahmadinejad will head a delegation of 70 people traveling to Lebanon. Different location, similar motivation. Lebanon, like Nigeria, sits on the UN Se- curity Council. In the last vote on adopting new sanctions against Iran, Lebanon chose to abstain. The Lebanese representative had asked for a delay of the vote to get instruc- tions from his government in Beirut. In the absence of a delay, which was simply a tacti- cal move, Lebanon abstained. By abstaining Lebanon fi rmly sealed the relationship between Iran and Lebanon which, until that point, had been explosive

and marked by decades of distrust. Iran has 386187 always wanted to unseat the Lebanese gov- 16 AR T Opinion Attn: Camps, Yeshivas, Schools , Organizations,
