An Iranian student leader who migrated to the US told Azadi Satellite TV that diaspora based opposition already has a post-islamic republic government setup.
This may mean that the long awaited constitution has already been written.
Interesting..
WoW. That would be major news if it could be confirmed.
A government in exile? I don't believe it.
What are they waiting for?
Get the news to the people. They need a leader for their revolution; someone to unite behind. That's what the main obstacle has been to a successful revolution so far.
Some quotes on Freedom and Democracy from President Reagan
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free" -- Ronald Reagan
"It is the Soviet Union that runs against the tide of history.... [It is] the march of freedom and democracy which will leave Marxism- Leninism on the ash heap of history as it has left other tyrannies which stifle the freedom and muzzle the self-expression of the people."
"Freedom is the right to question and change the established way of doing things. It is the continuous revolution of the marketplace. It is the understanding that allows us to recognize shortcomings and seek solutions"
"The other day, someone told me the difference between a democracy and a people's democracy. It's the same difference between a jacket and a straitjacket."
"Freedom is the recognition that no single person, no single authority or government has a monopoly on the truth, but that every individual life is infinitely precious, that every one of us put in this world has been put there for a reason and has something to offer."
"We who live in free market societies believe that growth, prosperity and ultimately human fulfillment, are created from the bottom up, not the government down. Only when the human spirit is allowed to invent and create, only when individuals are given a personal stake in deciding economic policies and benefitting from their success -- only then can societies remain economically alive, dynamic, progressive, and free. Trust the people. This is the one irrefutable lesson of the entire postwar period contradicting the notion that rigid government controls are essential to economic development."
Thank You, President Reagan.
Sadly, it seems these days we've misunderstood "tolerance" to include acceptance of the intolerant. Because that tolerance is not reciprocated, we are at a distinct disadvantage.
