NOMINATING-OFFICER: Mary Daly
START MEMO NOMINATING-JUSTIFICATION:
Karimi is the principal spokesperson for Green Left on
foreign and security issues. Although she is very serious
and dedicated, it often appears that she had little
understanding or appreciation of U.S. positions. In the
past decade, Green Left had come to accept NATO as an
appropriate tool to advance peace, and peacekeeping as being
conducive to advancing stability and security. However,
Karimi appears to be struggling with these questions. A
visit to the U.S. could provide her with a better
understanding of the goals and objectives of U.S. foreign
policy, and the desirability of international cooperation in
crisis management and peacekeeping operations around the
world. It would also provide her an opportunity to see how
the issue has dealt with integration and women's issues.
