MEK - The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, or the Mojahedin-e Khalq (Persian: سازمان مجاهدين خلق ايران‎, romanized: sâzmân-e mojâhedīn-e khalq-e īrân, abbreviated MEK, PMOI or MKO), is an Iranian political-militant organization[25][26][27] based on Islamic and Marxist ideology.[28] It advocates overthrowing the Islamic Republic of Iran leadership and installing its own government.[29][30][31] The MEK was the "first Iranian organization to develop systematically a modern revolutionary interpretation of Islam – an interpretation that differed sharply from both the old conservative Islam of the traditional clergy and the new populist version formulated in the 1970s by Ayatollah Khomeini and his government".[32] It is also considered the Islamic Republic of Iran's biggest and most active political opposition group

But would the Iranian people be better off under the MEK than they are now?

Or would they just be trading one despotic leadership for another?

I remember what life was like for Iranians under the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, not perfect but so much better.

I will never forgive Jimmy Carter!!!!
