Loving the Mullahs!

Now before rolling into this interesting tidbit of news from the Telegraph, let us just say how puzzling it is that the Bush Administration on one hand has openly stated it's support for the Iranian people:

"And to the Iranian people, I say tonight: As you stand for your own liberty, America stands with you." - State of the Union (President George W. Bush)

But on the other hand, neither the Administration nor the majority of elected American politcians have done anything other than say they support the Iranian people. Why would they make such statements regarding one of the most important issues of our time, and then do nothing to backup their rhetoric?

Many would say that making statements of support for the Iranian people, who are on the verge of achieving their freedom (and are looking for moral, financial and political support from the "Freedom-Loving" West), and failing to push through policy that puts words into action is in fact more damaging than having not said anything in the first place!

Luckily there are noble ones such as Michael Ledeen and the cadre of intelligent bloggers, journalists, and a few radio personalities who have taken hold of this issue, have strongly supported the Iranian people, and echo these messages throughout the world! If the Administration won't go after the Mullahs, at least the citizens of this great Nation get the picture, and are putting foot to ass.

In the meantime

The British Govt. and Mullahs are continuing their dance.

"Iran is preparing an offer to buy MG Rover's entire operating plant and reopen the Longbridge assembly lines for immediate production. The bid to save up to 20,000 jobs in the West Midlands is seen an effort to earn goodwill in Britain and soften the Government's hard line on Iran's nuclear programme."

As Andrew Stuttaford stated in his May 03 article entitled "The Trouble With Tony":

"It can be a lonely business being a critic of Tony Blair in this country — outside, at least, the fever swamps of the far Left."

He's absolutely right. Many Americans tend to think that because Tony Blair has stood by President Bush's side throughout the Iraq war, that he is a good guy and the British are America's allies, 101%. This couldn't be further from the truth. The current British govt may be a friend, but in the eyes of many, they're a bad friend, due to several reasons, but none more appalling than their open support and appeasement of the Mullahs.

Doing business with illegitimate, rogue regimes, is the most ANTI-FREEDOM policy a government could ever follow. So why do Tony Blair, Jack Straw, and some American Politicians fall victim to the appeasing traps and snares of the Terror Masters and their high-paid lobbyists? They no doubt feel that in the short-term, there is more money and benefits in it for them (the appeasing politicians) than would be if they supported and helped 70 million people achieve their freedom, which ultimately would make long-term stability, stronger economies and democratic and technological evolution a reality!

What a shame. In the meantime, the Iranian people continue to fight for their freedom. They will no doubt achieve it. Those who valiantly supported and endured with them in their struggle will be praised, honored and remembered.

Those who appeased will be remembered too!
