Summer 2008: A Just Foreign Policy Fellowship of Reconciliation Citizen Ambassadors "Our experience of Iranian society, the warm welcome of the people, and the hope for real dialogue, breaks down all the stereotypes that have been promulgated over the last 27 years," says David Robinson, a U.S. "citizen ambassador" to Iran through a series of dialogues organized by the Fellowship of Reconciliation. The ambassadors have met with religious leaders, the media, and ordinary citizens-and, in 2006, Iran's vice-president-to promote dialogue and peace. Pictured is the December 2007 delegation.
