If you are supporting these “freedom fighters” you are supporting sworn enemies of the United States of America

BS. I guess most of FR is your sworn enemy then. These Iranian students are not the same students that overthrew the Shah and supported the MeK and Hezbollah. Why should we hold them responsible for what their parents did? If your father shoots someone, are you automatically responsible? This has nothing to do with the MeK. Just because the MeK is anti-mullah that does not mean everyone who hates the mullahs is on the payroll of the MeK. It is human nature to want freedom after living under an oppressive regime, and to assume that every person out on the streets protesting is not doing so because they want freedom but rather because each and every one of them is an MeK supporter is ridiculous. The election was the long-awaited catalyst for the revolt. This is from an Iranian blog: “Amir, Mashhad, aged 23: Please let the world know the people of Iran are using the election and its outcome as an excuse, their real problem is the whole system and the corrupt regime of the Islamic Republic. Anything that happens to us is because of this religion. How can I make you understand, religious beliefs are personal and should not be enforced on the public.”

I've talked to many FReepers who have travelled to and lived in Iran and they all say the people are tired of the mullahcracy, are not rabidly anti-American, and are actually rather cultured and educated. The students in the big cities drink alcohol, listen to Western music, and have a taste for Western culture. They are not terrorists nor Marxists.

Fine. Let them name their affiliation. A drunk Shiite is not my friend. I do not know where you received the authority to speak for most of FR. This is an open forum for the exchange of conservative ideas. The MEK is not conservative. Iranian Shiite Hezb'ullah is not compatible with American conservatism. They are sworn enemies, and if you and FR are here to support their cause, link them up tough guy!
