SNIPPET: “Overview:

Today, according to information obtained by Iran ‘s main opposition, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), we would like to make public for the first time exclusive details on a major top-secret and strategic nuclear enrichment site in the town of Abyek, 120 kilometers west of the Iranian capital, Tehran . The Behjatabad-Abyek nuclear enrichment site is code-named 311, and is near Qazvin.

The details on this site were made possible by the several-year of extensive and vigilant investigation, research and intelligence work by the internal network of the PMOI. The work, as complicated as it has been entailed serious risks and danger for the sources.

The construction of this site began in early (February or March) 2005 and 85 percent of the construction work on it has been completed. The site is built deep inside mountains to withstand aerial bombings and confirms that the regime is in hot pursuit of nuclear weapons and will in no way abandon it.

The Armed Forces General Headquarters, headed by Major General Hassan Firouz-Abadi, and the Ministry of Defense, headed by Brig. Gen. Ahmad Vahidi, have embarked on building this new secret site, located between the cities of Abyek and Qazvin . The project began under the former Minister of Defense who is currently Minister of the Interior, Mostafa Mohammad Najjar.

The date when work began on this site is significant because it proves that contrary to its deceptive tactics, implying that the regime had stopped its military nuclear activities in 2003, this type of work has gone underground and expanded.

So far the regime has spent 100 million dollars on the project, but experts involved in the projects have said that it has unlimited budget. For example, one of the companies affiliated with the MoD, which is tasked with building some of the facilities in the site has received 25 million dollars in the past three years alone.

The extensive dimensions of the site show that the regime’s nuclear weapons program is far larger than what the International Atomic Energy Agency knows about. Specifically, the enrichment program is much more extensive than what has been revealed to the IAEA, which explains why the Iranian regime is refusing to ratify the Additional Protocol.

This site is far more important than the Fardow site near the holy city of Qom, which explains why the MoD has taken extraordinary concealment measure to avoid its detection.”

One of the most brutal wars of the recent past was the 1980s Iran / Iraq war. Saddam was our proxy punisher, our agent for breaking Iran. During one engagement in the swamps, the forces of Iraq used massive electrical generators to slaughter hundreds of Iranian conscripts struggling through the mud. Their bodies where then used as roadbed material -- four corpses side by side, followed by another four-corpse layer, rotated 90 degrees, rinse and repeat. The Ayatollah Khomeini blessed seven-year old boys, gave them shiny plastic martyr's medals (made in China), and sent them into the front ranks of battle to serve a human minesweepers.

Iran is (at the moment) filled with people who love Americans and hate their rulers. On September 12, 2001, vast crowds in Tehran lit candles and grieved with our shocked nation. One reason for this affection is the hatred their ruling mullahs hold for the USA. A pundit I loathe said in a rare moment of insight,

The legacy of the war with Iraq is an Iranian population in which two-thirds of the Iranian population is under 25 and where the average age of the mullahs who conducted it is somewhere around 75. Most of the generation of students who launched the revolution are dead. Their children view the revolution as a catastrophe that killed their parents and has stolen their freedom.

Meanwhile, the Iranian cinema is flourishing.

Be sure to rent Majud Majudi's film The Color of Paradise. The filmmaker obviously loves his country, and spectacular rural scenery frames the human melodrama. Keep in mind the theme of generational conflict as you watch a lad who longs for familial connections. A venal, self-centered, shame-ridden man trying to distance himself from his blind son. A traditional matriarch who worries about what her son is doing to his own soul, by his refusal to do right by the grandson. It's interesting how this Muslim filmmaker used a Christian metaphor -- the father is repeatedly shown washing his hands.

Finally, take note of which characters actually get to “see the face of God,” the stated goal of life for Muslims as well as Christians.

Despite persecution, Christianity is flourishing in Iran. They got the Islamic utopia they wanted -- and many decided they really wanted something else!

Let's see -- wasn't there another Muslim country in the neighborhood with a strong and legally protected Christian minority? Not any more -- Iraq now has an Islamic constitution, and more than half of their Christians have fled for refuge from a homeland they've occupied for 4,000 years.

Now who is there out there with a grudge against both Muslims and Christians? And a tidy little stockpile of 130+ atomic bombs? Who refuses to sign on to the nuclear nonproliferation agreement? And whose interests appear to trump those of American voters, taxpayers, and service personnel?
