There is a big question while the protests and opposes rised in Iran last week, Why the USA which is next to Iranian borders, dont come in to support or in other words why we Iranians do not see any effective behavior from the US officials. Me, as a citizen of any other country , do not like to see my country to be invaded or collapsed but the real fact in Iran is that the mullahs will not go or over thrown with out any military intervention or support from a powerful source. This is what you can hear in Iran now, I think those men in the Pentagon or the white house should take a decision fast. Are they taking care of the fate of the Iranians? So They have to be more responsible as well. We do not need just words, we need action. The great help America can give us now is to support us more and more not just by words but by actions. Please do something!
The Iranian people have the ability within them, and the means to overcome and take control of their country again. But it will take immense courage from all freedom-loving Iranians to overcome the fear instilled by the few. The people will have to focus, first on a campaign to turn world opinion in their favor. They must make NOISE on the net and with any publications they can put out, on radio if they can get ahold of the means to broadcast; they must be as loud as possible, using the help of Iranians living in the west and independently. You will need to organize and help one another to insure that gangster tactics will no longer be effective, to push where the regime is weakest and so, encourage more Iranians to join. To encourage more people, you have to maintain the moral high ground and that takes good PR prople to explain your case so no one misunderstands your intention. Support those among you who have courage. Don't ever leave them out to dry without coming to their aid; don't let those with courage go up against anyone alone. Just a show of courage will draw people to you. Maintain that courage no matter what happens, and your numbers will grow.
We're already hearing about things going on in Iran now- that's much better than it was just a year ago when so little was getting out, and a few years before when there was almost no mention of Iran at all. So something is working.
The Iranian people DO have the means to win this for themselves. They really do. Of all the nations in the region there are none more suited culturally and educationally to winning their own freedom than Persians. Others on the thread have pointed out that in Iraq and in Afghanistan we had Iraqis and Afghans who had already organized themselves as opposition to their government. Because they were orgasnized, our special forces were able to make contact with them and help train them. Iranians will have to get together to make something comparable, but they have to maintain the moral high ground and police themselves so that it will be difficult for their own government to defame them as terrorists, and difficult for people to justify denying them help.
But let me assure you that you haven't been as alone as you think. We have been in the region for a while, even in Iran. No doubt that there are more people than ever working to help Iran from the outside, many Iranian expatriates who dream of a free Iran for their relatives there. The only difference is that now, we have leadership which believes in following through. Listen to the radio now; the tenacity of the broadcasts will be a good indicator of whether or not we are ready to help.
Ultimately, I think we will have to address the mullah's use of terrorism, because if we don't the Iraqis will not be able to get their government up and running. The current leadership in Iran will try to destabilize it.
And don't forget: attach the thugs to trees whenever you can!
We could afford to lob a few nukes your way, but I hope you agree that is a terrible idea.
Iran got themselves into this mess by booting out the Shah and holding our embassy staff hostage for over a year back in 1979. I remember activist women in Iran proudly wearing veils before the Revolution established the theocracy to show anti-U.S. and anti-Shah sentiment, saying they were getting in touch with their culture. These women betrayed their children's future in my opinion.
Iran would be an insane place for us to invade. We had a lot of people in Iraq who hated Saddam and were happy to stand back and let us get rid of him and the Ba'athist party murderers. Yet, still, one of our soldiers a day or more is being killed and more wounded, some grievously. In Iran, a lot more of the population would fight us tooth and nail. It would be very bloody and turn into a ghastly guerrila war, much worse than we are facing now in Iraq.
You are going to have to organize more into secret cells and develop better plans for retaking your country. And also, you need to be patient, as every year more children who think like you do grow into adulthood and increase your numbers and power.
Also the USA won't invade unless it believes the government poses a significant terrorist threat to our country that has to be put down. We believed that about Saddam in Iraq. We don't believe that about the mullahs in Iran, at least not yet.
Students hiding in rooms cannot resist armed gangs of thugs. But thugs will not be able to do their street terror if they are getting SHOT.
The best way to accomplish this would be for the CIA to smuggle in 100s, then 1000s of pistols and rifles exactly like the ones used by Iranian Police and military forces.
This way, no tie to America can be proven, the weapons will be assumed to have been "liberated" in street fighting.
Even without imported arms, it should be possible to obtain a few weapons to get started, and use those elsewhere to obtain more. With Iraq on the west and Afghanistan on the east, and all the weapons floating around there, you would think that in Iran, getting ahold of weapons wouldn't be too difficult. Finding some place to practice with them might be another matter...
There certainly has been a lot of smuggling over water between Iraq and Iran. It isn't all dried dates.
Like he said though- people have to take charge.
If July 9 is the day, I hope everyone is paying attantion to what happened in Venezuela. They held their demonstrations and even ousted Chavez, but then backed down. If you're not willing to go all the way, you're going to be in trouble.
Anyone know where the thugs and thug's bosses live?

Sporadic clashes are rocking at this time, (20:45 local time), several areas of the Iranian capital.
These clashes are in the Amir-Abad, Fatemi, Keshavarz and N. Shariati and Gohardasht (in the Karaj suburb) areas as groups of young intending to form their nightly gatherings are attacked by the regime's militiamen.
Again and again, Long Knives, Clubs and Chains are used against these braves.
Traffic jams are again starting to form as more residents are trying to access these nightly areas of protest despite the heavy presence and control of the regime forces.
