Washington DC - As the dramatic events in Iran continue to unfold, the thoughts and concerns of all of us here at NIAC are with the Iranian people and with the loved ones of all Iranian Americans who have been affected by the events of the last few days.
American policymakers are still deciding what course of action they should take. It is critical that they hear from the Iranian-American community as they do so.

never # 2.
We have 30+ years experience in all the fields, let use it to better ourselves by ourselves not by others.
People Will Win. Islamic Republic will go down as one of our darkest times in our history.

by MRX1 on Tue Jun 16, 2009 08:34 PM PDTThe minimum you expect even from lamo like obama is to at least verbaly support the protesters in Iran.A verbal support does not mean he can not talk or negotitate with rulling cockroaches in Iran if he has to.It's actualy the opposite, it shows that you have principal and you will be willing to uphold it even facing the enemy.I have never seen U.S in such a disarray. Furthermore Islamist and IRI lackeys will blame U.S any way so you might as well say your peace.
My choice is #1 - for sure
by Mehdi on Tue Jun 16, 2009 05:31 PM PDTI think the West should immediately remove sanctions against Iran! That is the best way the Iranian people will be helped. That would give great support to those who want change in Iran. It will make their case very valid. Once the perceived threat of war is gone, the regime will have no leg to stand on for its persecutions and oppressions.
The West should also immediately ask for talks for the purpose of resolving animosity between Iran and and the West. These two actions will be a very effective blow to stupidity and ignorance and will remove the sources of oppression from the positions of power.
NIAC war right, working on normalizing Iran-US relationship is the most effective way to help people in Iran. The excuse of "external threat against Islam or Iran" has been the strongest leg that the opressors have been standing on since the beginning. It is time this leg was taken from under them!
I clicked #2. I also added
by desi on Tue Jun 16, 2009 05:20 PM PDTI clicked #2. I also added this:
The US should lift all sanctions against Iran. In doing so the Iranian regime won't be able to use the US as a scapegoat for everything including its failing economy. Iranians would be able freely trade both goods and democratic ideology.
None of these are good
by eroonman on Tue Jun 16, 2009 05:18 PM PDTThe US should expose the Iranian constitution and explain to the world how Iran is really run, so that the world can understand what is being seen.
Namely a legitimate objection to unfair laws.
For 30 years, Iran has claimed that it is a democracy. It isn't. It is a dictatorship, whose dictator, Khamenei, has now become the consummate murdering dictator.
