In the American Revolution, our first revolutionaries belonged to the Sons of Liberty. It was an underground resistence with cells, where members of one group did not know all the members of any other group.
Members learned different skills preparing for the revolution. They learned how to operate artillery. They learned how to acquire and fire weapons (front loading, single shot muskets in those days). They learned military strategy. They secretly printed pamphlets discussing the ideas for new government, and the reasons for their rejection of the British monarchary for their government.
Later, when war broke out, they wished they had learned more. A German officer came to our revolution and taught military discipline and faster techniques for loading the muskets. The French had an interest in lessening British power and decided to assist us by sending ships to counter the British navy.
We needed assistence from foreigners who had selfish reasons for assisting us, but we sought that assistance and took it.
We were lucky that the British monarchy had to transport troops to fight us over a wide ocean, whereas revolutions that have to overthrow rulers where the troops live in the same country have a much more difficult time.
I do not underestimate the difficulty of an endeavor to change your government, nor the cost in lives. If you had more time, then the birth and coming of age of each new child would more and more overwhelm the older members of the totalitarian regime, who would slowly die off.
Destroying the nuclear power plant will buy you that time. We cannot let it go operational because it will be used to build nuclear bombs to be smuggled into our country and donated, killing tens of thousands of my fellow citizens.
If you don't have the nuclear plant, we can wait and let your people in your own time change the government of your country to one that is less intent on our destruction.
Believe me, you have been told lies about this plant. Your country does not need it. Your country is immensely rich in oil reserves. If you don't know this, maybe it is because your government doesn't want you to know that they have the wealth to improve your lives greatly. Perhaps they have decided not to improve your lives because they know that a poor and ignorant people is much easier to control.
If you make it a point of national pride to defend your nuclear power plant, your fate will be much, much worse than if you accept that the completion of such a plant must wait until your government is not controlled by mad-dog killers who believe that God is a mad-dog killer.
I will pray for our Heavenly Father's help for your people as I prayed for the Iraqis and still do that God would have pity on them and deliver them from oppression.
But we also have an American saying: God helps those that help themselves. One cannot stand by when evil is being done and not oppose it. God expects us to act to bring about good and end evil.
The trouble between your government and my country is that we disagree about what is good and what is evil.
I wish you well. There is a Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times. I am sorry that you are living in interesting times. I am older and live day to day by God's grace, but you sound like you have much life ahead of you, so I will pray for God's grace for your country, that you will have a chance to live out those years.
If you make it a point of national pride to defend your nuclear power plant, your fate will be much, much worse than if you accept that the completion of such a plant must wait until your government is not controlled by mad-dog killers who believe that God is a mad-dog killer.
I agree with the rest of your posts but not with this part.
Let me tell you that Nuke power plant was started in 1975 during the Late Shah reign. So it was legitimate that time and now it is not? And I wish I had a true independent government which I could defend.
It is you who has been said lie about "IRAN DOES NOT NEED IT" part. We really need it cuz we can not burn our oil to produce electricity.
I hope no one bombs that plant and leave it safe for our future use.
