« Welcome Aboard! | Main | Are the Mullahs harboring Bin Laden? »

October 09, 2004

As the debates go on, what about Iran?

One of the most important issues of our times relates to Iran, or more specifically, the terrorist regime of Mullahs who occupy Iran. It is an important issue not only because of the very real possibility that the Mullahs could achieve nuclear capabilities very soon, but because the true driving force of any major overhaul or democratic revolution in the Middle East lies in the hands of the Iranian people as well as American politicians who are in a position to serve as a catalyst to help bring about the much needed change.

A COUPLE FACTS:

* The Iranian people are very pro-US, hate the regime of Mullahs, and have been fighting and in many cases dieing so that the world may hear their cries and give them the opportunity and support they need in order to determine their own future.

*
The regime in Iran has imprisioned and executed hundreds of thousands of Iranians since that installation of the Khomeneist regime in 1979. The regime is also one of the world's leading state-sponsors of international terrorism, not to mention that they are harboring many members of Al Qaeda and recent reports indicate that they are protecting Osama Bin Laden.

If you were confronted with a terrorist regime that was harboring much of Al Qaeda as well as doing everything possible to turn Iraq into it's very own Islamic Republic proxy, and you realized that an overwhelming majority of the population hated this fanatical regime and would give anything for just one chance to tear it from the fabric of history, what would you do?

When the issue of Iran entered the debate last night, both candidates opted to continue supporting the European's appeasement efforts. Do President Bush and Senator Kerry really expect the regime of Mullahs to suddenly give up their nuclear ambitions or perhaps have a change of heart and spontaneously transform themselves into a shining example of democracy and not the despotic terrorist regime they really are?

Whomever prevails in the November election, it is clear that he will be forced to address these closely intertwined issues of a terrorist regime approaching nuclear apex and the question of why the West has yet to truly support a people who hold the key to achieving the overall objective... freedom!

We'll have to wait and see!

Why would you expect President Bush to give advance notice of future action v.v. Iran?
Neither America (or Israel, I presume) will allow the mad mullahs to go atomic.
American policy was stated some time ago - you are with us or with the terrorists. People and Nations will live or die from that choice.

Bush will keep his options open and allow the countries who have diplomatic relations with Iran try to get the Mullahs to see that nuclear weapons will not be permitted. If they continue, and if they shelter Al Qaeda, Bush will eventually act. Kerry will talk, talk, talk until Israel is decimated by a nuclear bomb from Iran. Kerry would then try to talk, talk, talk and perhaps issue warrants for the arrest of the mullahs.

Bush will eventually act? Keep options open? Why have they not acted yet, it is clear that the Mullahs regime is making it much harder for the coalition - and is also the block that needs to go tumbling if there is to be any kind of free and democratic Middle East. Neither candidate has shown that they will do much to help the Iranian people - although a few times Bush has mentioned his support of Iranian freedom, but it usually gets drowned about by State Dept. and British who beg for continuous appeasement.

If Iran has Osama and Bush knows about it, a lot would be explained about why he is letting Kerry go on and on about OBL without responding.

Bush reiterated last night that this was going to be a long war.

I just hope that Kerry gets destroyed in November; obliterated to the extent that Bush has a clear mandate.

In other happy thoughts, Howard beat the appeasement devotee Latham in Australia. This is arguably the best news that Iran has gotten since Saddam was pulled out of his hole last year.

No doubt it will take several year to eradicate all terrorist cells, but it can be sped up by removing the regimes (states) that sponsor such fanatics as well as over a period of time resolving many of the situations or conflicts which are used by fanatical dictators and other islamofascists to promote and encourage their crazy cause. The regime in Iran would not be able to sustain the effects of the West supporting the Iranian people - as well, finally solving the Israeli Palestinian conflict would also do a lot to strengthen our position and interests in the Middle East.

This world is full of so many amazing things and opportunities - so it is crucially important to solve these unresolved issues such as terrorism and nuclearizing dictatorships, so that we can exploit what is inherently good about mankind and stop this fanatical bullshit and no longer have to send our boys and girls to deal with the bastards.

Support the people of the region and stop appeasing dictators like the Brits, French and Germans do 24/7 in exchange for cheap oil, and the world will be much better!

Patience, one country at a time. Afghanistan was clealy first because of the demonstrable protection of AQ by the Taliban. Iraq was second because of a long standing animosity between the US and SH and the long history of UN resolution violations. Iran must wait until after the election. Why? Any action in persia would take a couple of years. No need to start operations and then have John Kerry abandon the Iranians ala Iraqi shiite in 91.

time

with a successful election in afg another in iraq, the people of iran will likely become more energized to see real change

hopefully peaceful demonstrations will work and the mullahs will let go of power - for some reason i doubt this will happen though

here is a sad thing, prior to 1979, the mulahs of iran had - for the most part - stayed out of politics as major actors and policy makers. they often interceded successfully to petition for the rights of the people and leniancy from gov and lss often helped meiate gov policies over people. all in all they were the most trusted 'segment' of iranian society because they were near neutral (this does not discount the occasional firebrand and a few odd and end acts). this is a gross generalization over time. this is also one reason why the mullahs had such huge popular support at the beginning of the revolution, they were in good standing

so much for that, the venal corrupt nasty thugs who run the country now are decimating not only iranian society but centuries of traditions of trust. there are good mullahs,occasionally their voice is herd - and all these advocate a return to civilian rule in the country

oh well

what will happen if the US or Israel bomb nuke sites?????????

" The announcement this week by Israel that it would buy 500 "bunker-buster" bombs from the United States"

They are not getting these to fight with the Palestinians!!!

Watch out Mulahs!!!!

Rey:

"Any action in persia will take a couple years"?

Rey, if helping to free the Iranian people entails some sort of 2 year military campaign - or any war concept all together then it's not helping the Iranian people. Iranian people can overthrow the regime if they are supported by the West - and the Europeans and everyone else stops propping the killers up and offering salads, I mean carrots, left and right.

Iranian people are already the greatest friends with Jews and United States - it's about time the US and Israel help the Iranian people out!

The only good mullahs are the ones that stay in the Mosques and away from government and politics.

Throughout Iranian history the fanatics have always worked hard to imprison the citizens. That's why if you read all of the great Iranian poets you can see that in their writing they were always BASHING the clerics but did it in a way that resulted in some of the most amazing pieces of writing in existence.. Check out some stuff by Rumi, Hafez and Khayyam.

There has always been a struggle between theh citizenry and the religious whackos!

Hi Reza !!

With a successful campaign in Afganistan, there will be free movement of U.S. forces to the north of Iran. With a successful campaign in Iraq, to the south. U.S. armies to noeth and south, navy to the east, and arms supplied to the students.......?

The theocratic regime must be fought also with the most powerful weapon: humor. (Tyrants really hate it when people ridicule them.)

So let us all make as fun as possible of the ruling mullahs -- I'm thinking specifically of those mighty clerics:
Reza Faakher,
Maatha Faakher,
Khamel Faakher
and
Beegh Faath Faakh.

;-P
