I am an Iranian student and I'd like to speak loud on the US-MEK cooperations,
I'd rather live under the Mullahs and their oppression than seeing the MEK in power in Tehran
I'd rather defend the Mullahs than standing with the MEK terrorists to be named as a so-called fighter.
I'd rather have Mullahs than MEK in power.
And I would like the US to hear our words...
STOP SUPPORTING AND USING MEK terrorists.
Then what do you suggest we do instead?
Khashayar, you want our gov't to hear YOUR words. Your gov't needs to hear OUR words (thru Pres. Bush): Don't Do it!
I'd like to do as much as I can to help you out, I run a newspaper on my campus that we can use to support your revolution/regime change. I'm also affiliated with several collegiate networks in the US. Let me know if you're interested.
I agree that it would be a poor idea to back the Communists. They are good at organizing revolutions, but bad at relinquishing power after they have taken over.
I frankly don't know who we should support, but we need some mature, stable figures who could run the country until the youngsters grow into it, something along the lines of Alawi.
I should think there must be someone who fits the bill. I just don't know the players very well.
Sometimes it's just a matter of luck. Poland couldn't have had a better revolutionary leader than Lech Walensa. He was unable to continue in power after the revolution succeeded, but he was there when he was needed, he was honest and brave, and he relinquished power when he proved inept at political maneuvering.
