At least I didn't cough

I was an anchor today and for my phoner I spoke to Najib Ghadbian (pictured). He is a political science and studies of the Middle East professor at the University of Arkansas as well as a frequent political commentator for al-Jazeera TV Channel. I spoke to Ghadbian about the Iranian nuclear program and the relatonship between Iran and the rest of the world. As somebody who studies the Middle East, Ghadbian really did a great job explaining some things and putting things into plain English. Pretty much, there is no evidence that Iran has done anything illegal in trying to get nuclear weapons, and there is no evidence that they have nuclear weapons, however because of some of the things President Ahmadinejad says and because of the country's ties to terrorist organizations we should all be a bit scared. Last time I was anchor I did a story about Iran as well. I think I haven't kept up with the news enough to know about all of the conflict in the Middle East but I've enjoyed doing these stories. It's something we should all be interested in. A lot of people are talking about World War 3 and how it will involve nukes which in my opinion would be disastrous.
After the phoner I thouhgt things went alright, I stumbled a couple times and I hated the way my voice sounded (last time I ever go crazy at an SU basketball game before I have to anchor.), but A.J was great as a producer and did lots of the work.
