A Policy to Topple the Mullahs
By Kenneth R. Timmerman
FrontPageMagazine.com | February 16, 2006
The good news is that the Bush administration has finally understood that talking about freedom is not enough. The United States must devote serious assets to helping pro-democracy forces inside Iran, if there is to be any hope of a long-term resolution to the nuclear crisis with Iran.
The bad news is that after all these years, the administration still has no plan of how to do it.
Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice asked Congress yesterday for an extra $75 million to enhance radio and television broadcasting into Iran and to support pro-democracy forces inside Iran. But she couldn’t say with any precision, either during an open hearing with members of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, or in a private briefing later that day, how she wanted to spend the money.
The new money comes on top of a $3 million appropriation for 2005, mandated by Congress, to help pro-democracy activitists inside Iran.
But State Department bureaucrats last year torpedoed specific grant proposals (including one by the Foundation for Democracy in Iran, which I represent), to help groups inside Iran. They argued that helping such groups would be seen by the Tehran regime as a hostile act and would violate the terms of the 1981 Algiers Accord that ended the 444-day hostage crisis. Mustn’t make Tehran angry.
Since then, of course, the showdown over Iran’s nuclear weapons programs has intensified, as has the regime’s repression of pro-democracy activists, unpaid miners, and striking bus drivers. According to an opposition website, Iran Press News, political prisoners were told by their jailors this week that “each and every one of you will be put to death” if Iran’s nuclear file is taken to the United Nations Security Council.
On Monday, 500 Sufi Muslims were arrested in Qom after they protested the closing of a Sufi religious center. Among them were 250 women and children.
Also this week, Ahmadinejad “wondered out loud” why the regime protects foreign embassies in Tehran, while the commander of the “Lovers of Martyrdom headquarters” in Tehran told supporters that Iran will vanquish the United States, Israel and our supporters through a protected campaign of suicide bombings.
Looks like we’ve made Tehran angry nonetheless. And yet, the United States still doesn’t appear to have a plan.
Senators Sam Brownback, R-KS, and Rick Santorum, R-PA, have proposed increasing funding for pro-democracy groups in Iran to $10 million this year. But until just yesterday, the State Department was opposing the Iran Freedom Support Act because the House version of the bill expanded mandatory U.S. sanctions to include European companies. The State Department argued that we mustn’t make the Europeans angry, especially when we need their votes at the IAEA and at the UN Security Council.
Finally, it appears, Miss Rice got angry. Or just stepped in and took charge. No administration likes Congress to tell it how to craft policy, although that is exactly what’s been happening with Iran since Congress first threatened sanctions in 1995.
“I want to thank the Congress for giving us $10 million to support the cause of freedom and human rights in Iran this year,” she said on Wednesday. So much for lifting the State Department block on the Brownback-Santorum bill.
“We will use this money to develop support networks for Iranian reformers, political dissidents and human rights activists,” she said. “We also plan to request $75 million in supplemental funding for the year 2006 to support democracy in Iran. That money would enable us to increase our support for democracy and improve our radio broadcasting, begin satellite television broadcasts, increase the contacts between our peoples through expanded fellowships and scholarships for Iranian students, and to bolster our public diplomacy efforts.”
All of this sounds encouraging, until you realize that the only part of the program that has any substance are existing Persian language broadcasts by the Voice of America and by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. And these broadcasts are themselves problematic.
First, VOA. While the Voice of America has tremendous talent, and has made serious efforts over the past year to expand its programming in Persian and make it more professional, VOA remains a U.S. government news source.
This can be an advantage, when the U.S. government speaks with one voice to deliver a powerful message. But more frequently it has been a disadvantage, since VOA’s charter does not allow it to actively subvert foreign governments. And that is precisely what we need in Iran.
In addition, VOA is turning away from radio programming to more expensive television broadcasts, which it intends to “simulcast” over its old radio frequencies. VOA will add one hour a day of short wave broadcasting later this year, in an effort to reach a less urban audience, but that is not enough.
The problem here is Iran’s poverty. Despite fabulous oil revenues, the World Bank estimates that Iran’s per capital income is around $2,000 per year. The audiences we need to reach do not all have access to television. And periodically, the regime conducts massive seizures of satellite dishes, which remain illegal.
We need more radio, especially short-wave, and programming that is geared to informing the Iranian people just how corrupt and brutal are their leaders, and that teaches them the mechanics of political organizing and non-violent protest.
In principle, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty could do this. But its Persian service, Radio Farda (“tomorrow”), has become an open object of ridicule to Iranians. Established in 1997, it became known as “Radio Khatami,” because it openly supported the “reformist” regime of the previous Iranian president, Mohammad Khatami. More recently, it has become irrelevant, playing Brittney Spear and other non-entities in hopes of attracting a younger audience, while splicing in just ten minutes of political programming each hour.
To her credit, Miss Rice seems instinctively to grasp the problem. We need to shut down Radio Farda, help VOA to produce quality radio programs in addition to TV talk shows, and hand over more money to Iranian broadcasters in Los Angeles and elsewhere who have their finger on the pulse of the people inside Iran.
Just as Miss Rice was testifying before Congress, a team of State Department officials was visiting Iranian-American broadcasters in Los Angeles to assess which programs might be worthy of U.S. support. My opinion: let a thousand flowers bloom. The Iranian-American broadcasters know how to craft their own programming. What they need is money to buy satellite time to beam into Iran, and short-wave transmitters to reach the broader population. We should give it to them.
The real question remains the one the State Department avoided last year: what type of programs should the U.S. be supporting inside Iran? And are we prepared for Tehran’s angry response, which could come in the form of a large number of small suicide packages?
The pro-democracy groups are out there. And they are chaffing at the bit. They know what to do and can’t wait to get started.
Anyone ready to overthrow a regime? _________________ I am Dariush the Great King, King of Kings, King of countries containing all kinds of men, King in this great earth far and wide, son of Hystaspes, an Achaemenian, a Persian, son of a Persian, an Aryan, having Aryan lineage

I believe this person has been here previously, under different names, as an Azari separatist, together with a Kurdish Separatist, they were both banned.
Dear Moderator you might want to keep an eye on this "oslonor"....
Please note he/she is using Spenta's avatar in her links....what does that tell you??[/b] |

Doroud, Liberator
I saw this guy’s post in the general forum. I also saw it in the persian journal. His post was so off the wall that I really didn’t know where to begin criticizing it and left it alone. Usually when I encounter a post that is just too bizarre I just ignore it.
But since he has placed this garbage under one of my threads, I feel compelled to comment.
Quote: | These are reasons that we think an "Afghan Empire" is necessary and is possible. |
Who’s we?
The Afghans?
They are too busy trying to come out of the stone age to care to have an “empire.” I’m not trying to insult our Afghan brothers, but this is just a simple fact.
Quote: | 1. Afghanistan is culturally a homogenous country. |
What?!?! Are we talking about the same Afghanistan? The same one with the following demographics? - Pashtun 38%, Tajik 25%,, Hazara 22%, Uzbek 11%, Aimak 5%, Turkmen 3%, Baloch 2%, other 4% including sikhs?
Quote: | India, China and Russia and US will support an "Afghan Empire". |
Really? I must have been out to lunch the day that these countries announced their support for an “Afghan Empire.” Where did this come from?
Quote: | 3. Even Iran will reluctantly support an "Afghan Empire". The reason is cultural and historical. |
What does Iran have to gain from an Afghan Empire?- Nothing. It couldn’t care less.
Quote: | But Iran does not want any confrontation with Afghanistan because Afghanistan claims to the Persian heritage and history is much stronger than Iran's claims to Persian history. |
I can’t imagine anyone having a greater claim to Persian history than Iran. Persia was an empire that stretched from central Asia to Europe and Africa. Many countries now occupy lands of the former Persian Empire. So, many can have claims to its heritage. I applaud any and all who choose to embrace that part of their history. Anyone who makes such a claim must be considered friendly to us and embraced as a brother.
However, to assert a “greater” claim than Iran itself is ridiculous. That’s like trying to be more Catholic than the Pope.
Quote: | 4. An alliance of Persians and Afghans would make it possible for Presians to remove Azeri-Turks from power and extend Afghan power into Iran. |
There is nothing wrong with good relations with Afghanistan, or even an alliance.
I was not aware that the Azari-Turks were running Iran. Last time I checked, the Mullah barbarian theocrats were in power in Iran. They are the ones that need to be removed from power; Azaris and Turks have nothing to do with anything.
And why would Iran want to extend Afghan power into Iran? To substitute one form of Islamic foreign occupying force – the Taazi Islamic Republic currently occupying Iran – for another?
Quote: | 6. The center of this empire should be moved to Herat from Kabul as it has been in the past history. |
The Afghans may choose any location for the center of this new “empire.” It’s quite irrelevant to Iran and Iranians. Good luck with that.
Quote: | Half of Iran has Central Asian culture. The other major culture in Iran is the Azeri Turk culture |
This is a gigantic overestimation of the central Asian cultural influence in Iran, as well as the Turkish culture. According to this statement, Iran is half Mongol and half Turkish. What happened to Persian culture? Does it not exist in Persia, or Iran? RIDICULOUS.
Quote: | Afghanistan is actually ancient Persia which has kept its independence. Persia or Iran has fallen to Turkish hands. |
Iran fell to many invading nations: Greek, Arabic, Turkish, Mongol. It freed itself from all of them, though cultural influences from each remained to some extent. Iran does have Turkish cultural minorities currently, but it is not in Turkish hands.
And why this anti-Turkish sentiment? Currently, the Iranian Turks are not our problem. They are yet another group of people that are subjected to the barbaric rule of this Taazi regime.
Instead of trying to turn on Iranian minority groups, we need to free our country from the Taazi Mullahs.
As far as this illusional “Afghan Empire,” it does not concern Iran or Iranians. Good luck with this “empire,” just as long as it does not try to divert attention away from the Islamic Barbarian Taazi Regime currently occupying Iran, and as long as it does not incite separation of Iran’s physical and cultural integrity. _________________ I am Dariush the Great King, King of Kings, King of countries containing all kinds of men, King in this great earth far and wide, son of Hystaspes, an Achaemenian, a Persian, son of a Persian, an Aryan, having Aryan lineage

Dear Amir:
I am sure by now we all know what the purpose of people like oslonor is; the main goal is to divert the attention to something else that is totally unrelated to Iran. Changing the subject from Iran to something else, has always been the goal of iri agents when they find their way to different opposition sites. I personally will ignore him, because I don't want to play into his objective of "changing the subject" from how to free Iran to some dumb irrelevant story. |

Here is an article that exposes the efforts of people such as "oslonor:"
http://www.iranian.ws/iran_news/publish/article_13937.shtml
IRANIAN AZARBAIJANIS ETERNALLY REMAIN INTEGRAL COMPATRIOTS IN SHAPING THE HISTORY AND LIFE OF IRAN
We the worldwide signatories herein comprised of educators, scholars, historians and all those with a basic knowledge of the historical perspective of South and Central Asia, and Asia Minor, do hereby express our grave concern over a recent move by shadowy individuals and financed centers with arteriole motives that are attempting to portray Iranian Azerbaijanis as victims of 'cultural' and 'linguistic' discrimination in Iran. The historical community regards this act as an affront to all Iranians including the Azarbaijanis of Iran. A petition circulating on the Internet on this topic deliberately misleads the reader into believing that the current regime in Iran, notwithstanding its rather poor human and democratic rights records as applied to the 70 million Iranians across the board, is selectively targeting one ethnic group for 'discrimination' when in fact a large number of grievances run widely across regional and political strata. Moreover, the aforementioned petition deliberately fails to address the powerful historical and contemporary influence and contributing position of Iranian Azarbaijanis in the political (both within Iran and the Diaspora), cultural, historical and commercial life of Iran.
Iran as a nation with great many diverse ethnicities since its inception of nearly three years ago has been a multilingual nation and all languages are equal. The inscriptions of Darius the Great of the Achaemenid dynasty (circa 325 BCE) are in four languages: Aramaic, Babylonian, Elamite and Old Persian. The Persian language has been a national vernacular employed by Iran's widely diverse ethnic and linguistic groups as a common cultural bond. The said petition also fails to address the fact that Azari-Turkish is freely spoken across Iran, especially in the capital Tehran where Iranians Azeris comprise the majority.
Finally, the failure of the petition is in its failing attempt to narrate issues in divisively ethnic terms (Group A is oppressing Group B) when in fact the issues stem from a complex myriad of political and economic factors that directly affect the entire spectrum of Iran's multivaried population. The petition has been carefully crafted to avoid its identification with separatist movements; however, this is contradicted by a quick study of its language and that of the SANAM movement website of Mr. Mahmoudali Chehreganli. The photographs of the website depict SANAM supporters flashing the Grey Wolf insignia, the official salute of the violently racist pan-Turanian Grey Wolf movement. Pan-Turanian groups are notorious in their attempts at re-narrating history and the fabrication of grievances to help further violent and divisive racialist motives. Protests against pan-Turanian attempts at historical revisionism in western universities and false accusations of human rights violations at world platforms such as the UN have been repeatedly lodged by Armenian and Greek academics over a number of years, as they grieve for their historical recognition of Armenian genocide and oppressive subjugation of the Greeks, respectively.
Any application of 'cultural genocide' on the Azerbaijanis would be fatally detrimental to the culture of Iran as much of what and who Iran is today is indebted to Azerbaijanis such as Sattar Khan, Bagher Khan, Shah Abbas or Shams Tabrizi. While the writers of the cited petition couch their language in the name of language rights and how Persian is being "imposed" on the Azeris, they conveniently fail to mention that Azerbaijan has been a key centre for the development of Persian language and literature, and in all likelihood the birth place of Zoroaster, the founder of the monotheistic Zoroastrian religion, for over several thousand years.

Actually Azeris are severly repressed. The reason is Azeri Turk ruling groups can only rule if they present themselves as Persians.

You are actually correct. I am a separatist. But I am not an Azeri separatist. I am a Persian separatist. It is much bigger area we want to separate.The only areas left would be Azerbaijan, Tehran and Isfahan.

ActivistChat 2006 Guideline Framework
1. The "War on Terror" is UNWINNABLE and the world peace can not be achieved as long as the Unelected Islamists Terror and Torture Masters are in power in Iran. The terror state and fear society can not create peace and stability.
2. Iranian people can decide about Nuclear Energy, Nuclear Research and Atomic Bomb after the regime change when they have established stable secular democracy and FREE society until then Iran should avoid any kind of Nuclear research program, resulting to acquire Atomic Bomb, under Islamist regime control.
3. Territorial integrity and national sovereignty of Iran.
4. Complete separation of religion from the State.
5. Acceptance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
6. Free, open and democratic referendum to elect the type of the new Government of Iran in the post-IRI era.
7. Minimum standard of living for all citizens of Iran and equal opportunity for all citizens to benefit from country's national wealth.
8. To avoid nuclear war, our message to Iranian people inside Iran: General Strike Now, our message to Security Forces (Police, Pasdaran and Military) must act now for regime change and replacing it with Free society and Secular Democracy. The Iranian people have already spoken by boycotting Elections. The Armed forces must choose between defending and serving the people or serving Mullahs. This is up to armed and security forces to choose between SHAME and HONOR, serving Mullahs or their Sisters, Brothers, Fathers & Mothers who pay their salary.
To avoid war Iranian people of all ages do not have any choice other than be prepared to fight to free their homeland from Viruses of Iranian society whether the armed forces serve them or serve the enemy of freedom and free society. Iranian people should be prepared for final battle for freeing their homeland and must not forget that their FOREVER leader Cyrus the Great died in battlefield in 530 BC at the age of 60 and not in bed.
9. Work within high standard of code of ethics not to fight with other political groups or fellow FREE Iran Activists unless they are violating one of the key principles or moving against the concept of Free Society and secular democracy.
10. We are Free Iran Activists and Watch Group monitoring high government officials, Journalists , writers and scholars words and their actions based on the following direction from James Madison:
"If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men! over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions. "
The Federalist No. 51 (James Madison).
11. Support and promote people, groups and leadership who are making positive contributions for Human Rights, Regime Change in Iran, Free
Iran, Free Society and Secular democracy from Center, Right and Left.

Actually what we are advocating is not separatism. We suggest Iran divides into two states. These states are divided on cultural lines. One is a Turkish state which includes Tehran, Isfahan, Azerbaijan. The other is a Persian state which includes the rest of Iran. Kurds will voluntarily join Persia. The problem with the opposition is that there is no real opposition to Islamic Republic. Without the development of a Persian identity and a Persian elite there is no alternative to the current regime.
These declarations that you refer to is just general declarations. Which social forces are going to implement them? Those forces do not exists. So these declarations will remain only on the paper.
I can see from these declarations that you mostly rely on armed forces. I can assure you the armed forces will not be able to do anything.

Rejecting your dreams and view in the strongest term.

The Iranian people have the best proven record of fighting against Islamic Fanatics, and over the past 27 years and despite the heavy losses they have incurred (100,000 + executions, imprisonment, rape and torture!), Iranians continue to fight against and resist the Islamofascists even as the EU and many UN governments support the regime.
Iranian people oppostions are leaders of War on Terror and started the battle long before Sept 11 when G8 was sleeping.

We don't need your lecture. You are blind to see facts, our unity and Iranian culture strong, don't ever under estimate who we are.
