The problem with Reza is that he does not have strong leadership qualities like his father did.

I agree, but yet still many Christians apologize for Islam. They had better wake up before it is too late.

Agreed. And they will wake up when Islam has it’s ugly face directly in their stupid little faces. Then they will wake up and suffer a terrible fate.

Therefore, my suggestion is that, far from being either self assured or strong, the kind of costly aggressive policies which the clerical regime has pursued – whether in support of their surrogates in places like Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq or Afghanistan, or those which they have pursued in defiance of the UN Security Council in their dangerous search for nuclear weapons – are clear manifestations of the kind of insecurity that any unpopular regime feels when it knows that is hated by a vast majority of its own people.

At least Iran didn’t have nukes when Carter gave it to the Ayatollah, Pakistan could have its nukes taken by the taliban geezs. I bet the North Koreans are send their techs over as we speak.

If President Obama’s objective from direct engagementwith Iran is to use diplomatic channels to persuade the Iranian regime to change some of its key controversial policies such as its nuclear ambitions or its various negative regional interferences, then as we have already witnessed in recent weeks, he is in for a big surprise. In fact, it is the Iranian leadership which is calling the shots and asking for the US to change its behavior, before they sit down to talk!

The true result of "dialogue without preconditions." There really are preconditions, but it's the Mullahs who establish preconditions for the U.S., while they continue with their own agenda.

Time to bring back the "duck and cover" drills.

Nor his grandfather and namesake - but we play the hand given to us - and he is the only decent card available, who has any kind of standing within the Iranian populace. And can build an AntiMullah following inside the country, which would be acceptable to the civilized world.

There are of course the Mojaheddin (MEK) but they are a Marxist flavor of the Mullahs and would allow music and movies etc., but also impose social and political restrictions and while eradicating the clerics, would also eradicate many freedoms we used to have under the Monarchy.

It is up to the rest of us to help out as best we can. Not for reward or high positions but because it needs doing.

Not to forget that the MEK, unlike the Pahlavis, have absolutely no support in Iran. The MEK are (as you said) Islamo-Marxist cultist terrorists who have targetted the USA, the Monarchy and the Mullahs (after having been used by them). They were pawns of Saddam Hussein and are rightly deemd traitors.

It is asinine of Westerners to give the MEK and their front groups any whatsoever credit.

Reza Pahlavi does not insist on a restoration of the Monarchy and is the only staunchly pro-American and Western opposition leader who has any credibility among Iranians.

"Clear plea to USA not to abandon the oppressed people and support the bloodthirsty Mullahs"

The people overthrew the Shah.
Those same people can overthrow any Mullah or Mullahs also, when they have had enough.

Looks to me it'll have to be the people, too. O'Bummer's not going to do a thing save for taking credit for anything positive that may transpire in the region along the way. As usual.

I do know this:
Unless people PAY dearly for their liberty?
It'll never come nor will it last when it does arrive.
Oppressors have this nasty, consistent habit of never *giving* liberty away for free.
Moreover once liberty has been secured?
Holding on to liberty's harder then winning it.

What's happening here in the USDA is a piss poor example to any others around the world insofar how one holds on to hard won liberties others secured for them.

Any advise from USA's citizens on that account would be so hollow & meaningless as to be outright laughable.
Iranians et al are in the unique historic position of demonstrating to Americans that which they average American has long ago forgotten.
