"Are you looking for direction?"

Cute, but once again, you were given the opportunity to denounce MEK, and didn't. As long as you continue to defend a terrorist group, your kind of help isn't needed.

"Your posts to me are a clear indication" that you prefer to remain loyal to MEK philosophy, over denouncing who and what they are. The Rajavis are dangerous and run a muslim militaristic cult with communist roots, that has been seeking to take over the leadership of Iran for about 40yrs. Here is their flag :

Why don't you post their flag on your blog for all to see? Afraid it might scare people? Maybe you should get back to your friends at NCRI and suggest that they develop a new, less communist-looking flag. This one clearly gains no empathy for "the cause" from anyone except perhaps from those with a communist "ilk". Though I suppose inventing a new flag is just trying to put lipstick on a pig, since everyone can see the old flag that they've saluted all these years. (maybe the pig reference was a bit insensitive since the Rajavis are running a muslim cult)

Anyone trying to whitewash or push the cause of the MEK/Rajavis, which is to take over the government in Iran themselves, is NO help in the struggle for a DEMOCRATIC Iran.

I've mentioned that I'm not pro-MEK. The issue at hand is that a true denial of the MEK would require analysis of what and who they are. You’re not even willing to do that with your own politics so it's absurd and counterproductive to engage in echoing your vague denials of the MEK. In this forum the MEK is your tool to distract from your own political shortcomings. The Iranian regime does the same thing with Israel, the U.S. and the MEK. As far as I'm aware, there are no MEK supporters who post on FR. Adding your lies to F14s does not make me a supporter of the MEK. If you’re interested in constitutional monarchy, FINE, describe it in detail. That would be a fruitful conversation. If you’re interested in a good Iranian economy, FINE, that would be a fruitful conversation. If you’re interested in discussing Iran today, FINE, that would be a fruitful conversation. But those take work… you’ll have to think. Stomping your feet and waving your fists in the air about the MEK is a thoughtless waste of time.

My favorite part of your post is the suggestion that the MEKs flag be changed to look less communist. Is that how you determine friend from foe? Political analysis is not conducted by measuring stylistic similarities! Analysis is done by measuring political similarities and differences. If you’re an American, your enemies try to prevent freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to travel. It is clear F14 would like to become my enemy but has no power to do so. Americans are impervious to despotic tendencies, even from other Americans. So I ask you, how should anyone take you seriously when you talk about a Democratic Iran, when you sit by and let F14 tell me I have no rite to talk about Iran? If you believe I have no rite to talk about Iran then you do not subscribe to the principals of democracy. It’s clear you’re both despotic and therefore anti-democracy!
