I have written on the prospects of reform; I'm sorry you haven't read those posts (I'm also brand new to this site.)

I will say this, to encourage reforms in Iran any reformer has to distance themselves from groups like PMOI/MEK; PKK/PJAK, Jundallah and the other such groups -- those groups want to violate the territorial integrity of Iran. 

If Santa Claus was the President of Iran, I would say the same thing.

nature.

In your arrogant, ignorant nature what  you utterly fail to comprehend is that IR is nothing but the rule of a bunch of murdering thugs, and the main cause of all problems in Iran for Iranian people for the past 32 years.

The freedom struggle in Iran has nothing to do with any foreign groups. The fact that you can not write even a single sentence or word on the Iranian people's struggle for freedom and justice, shows where you come from. You blood thirsty apologists  of IR are worse than any  terrorist entitiy anyone could come up with.

Total annihilation of Islamic Republic of Hell is the only path for peace and freedom in Iran.

Down with IR and all its blood thirsty apologists.

@Mash: It's True, I'm 100% against PJAK, PMOI/MEK, Jundallah ...

Yes you caught me, I studied under Ayatollah Schwarzenegger for a while.  If only he had issued a Fatwa to better fund public education, we wouldn't be meeting in this manner.

-----------  

Which one are you?  Sunni-Arab, Kurd, or Baluch?  Instead of writing generalized nonsense, why don't you tell me what your experiences are that you are unhappy with and I'll have a dialogue with you on that subject? I'm Persian, by the way.  

I'm assuming you're unhappy that I am against PJAK because I posted this:


---------------- 

"  by BoosBoos on The U.S. aslo has labelled them a terror group: Office of Counterterrorism, U.S. Dep. of State, listing: "Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK)" as FTO (foreign terrorist organization); Council of the European Union Listing  "Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK)" as a terror group.  "

"by Roozbeh_Gilani on How can [a person] label any group, let alone the brave people of Kurdestan as Terrorists, is simply beyond me...... "

Yes, I'm 100% opposed to terror groups: PMOI/MEK, PJAK/PKK, Jundallah.

is it just me,and the neo-con Koolaide ?

by bushtheliberator on

 Somehow ? I got on NIAC's 2/day mailing list, and have seen much controversy about  them here : to Your Least Informed About Iran Visitor,all of NIAC seems a mix of Critic ,& Apologist.

Is it really True that : "" only a small percentage ( hold up two fingers to demonstrate how very small a percent) of Iranians ,living in Iran, want to " (...toss the IRI on the ash heap .???)

Maybe that's True,but I suspect there is( 1 ) a" small percentage of Iranians" that would dress the IRI's Thugs in Zulu Necklaces, and fire up the kerosene ;(2) and another group ( much larger than Mr. Habashi's fingers suggest )   that just  wants a more peaceful way to Dump the Thugs.

For Kissy kissy #1, indefatigable apologist of IR:

by Mash Ghasem on

your beloved mullahs are the single biggest cause of foreign intervention and sectarian violence inside and around Iran.

The Shitte rulers of Tehran and their racist, prejudiced, hatefull approach to all non-Shia (how they have killed and massacred Iranian Arabs, Kurds, Balooch -only because they're Sunni), IR's constant provocations  are the number one reason for strife within and without Iran.

Down with Islamic Republic of Hell, and all its shameless bloodthirsty supporters.

Guess who's next after Ghazzafi?

For those that take an uncritical view of U.S. foreign policy; or advocate separatism for Iran, it's useful to see on a map the deaths in Iraq ...

For those that take an uncritical look at separatism - the forces and interests that sponsor separatism - and what sectarian violence looks like, please watch this:

Tabarzin, I get what you are saying, yet there are nuances

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on

I listened to Hamid in many conversations over the past and it seems he is a little wiser with age, not necessarily his conscience though.  He is more seasoned and has discovered more understanding over time yet still misses the mark today, he is far less of an ANtellectual than he was in his youth, which is good (though professionally this will not help him, even harm him).

There are differences between Iran and libya, though the motives of oil are the same and the policy of Africanization of the entire middle east and north Africa are part of the same policy deployed on iranians with no changes since the mid 1970's when it all started.

The Govt and constitution of iran had a pact with the USA, the highest level of agreement between 2 govts which no king or president can undo and the USA broke law and betrayed Iran.

While this helped it reach its economic objectives, it lost in the sphere of national security which is more important than economics in the long run.

Just watch as russia brings the IRI out of its situation with the west and sanctions in service to the National Interests of the EU at US expense and uses its veto to protect IRI.

A nuclear armed Iran, controlling 60% ot the world oil supply through its coastline at hormuz (less than 25 miles wide in parts), means it can legally defend its coast as agreed by all world govts including the USA and choose to not supply oil needed by the USA.

EU will not need any of it as it will have 3 pipelines, supplying it with 100% of its needs, 2 of them directly benefitting russias economy.  As George Bush 2 said, quoting his own top advisors, a nuclear iran will mean ww3.

That is a war amongst, the big powers, not iran which is more of a football getting kicked around between the EU, Russia, China, Brazil, Turkey, all positioning themselves for that day which they are all working together to bring about.

This scenario may not happen at all, though, as its all based on the US response can it find agreement with the world powers or not?  On reducing its military spending by 90% on reducing its consumption of oil by 50%? etc etc

Today the USA has made itself truly filthier than the dirtiest powers of the past by not pursuing cooperation and freedom for itself and its friends but forsaking these and having no real friends.

"...this will lead to tragedy for all, most of all iran..."

by Tabarzin on

And believe it or not, no one other than average Iranians really cares. The foreign opposition sitting in North America really couldn't care less. The mullahs obviously don't care at all and their "Imam" is on record for wanting Iran to burn to ground and sacrifice every Iranian as Hitler was prepared to do with Germany. The West certainly doesn't care and they would be more than happy to destroy Iran and cut her up into 100 different pieces when it is all over. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. All of this proves that 1979 was a mistake of historical proportions and what the Shah said in his Answer to History was prophetic.

But there is the Chinese wild card that could put an end to Western imperialist aspirations if it's short and longterm interests were threatened by a WWIII involving Iran.


amirparvizforsecularmonarchy

Fundamentally Iran is in big trouble,

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on

Every which way you look at it produces a dead end.

Regime change, force leads to worse than present.

Friendship with mullahs, leads to worse than present.

As inhumane and sickening as this situation is for Iranians of every single persuasion, at some point the inability of the west to contain iran will likely lead to ww3. 

Its location and resources make it too important to the top 10 wealthiest powers in the world to have taken iran down this path. All iran has to do to lead the world towards ww3 is to pursue its legal rights at the right time when it can defend them and this will lead to tragedy for all, most of all iran

 


Reality-Bites

Thanks for the info

by Reality-Bites on

So Dabashi is a secular, i.e. for a non-religious, based system, but

he is also a green, i.e. for a reformed religious, based system. Interesting fellow.

Tabarzin, thanks for the heads up. I'll look up the rest on our secular green fellow on google, as you suggested.


Tabarzin

Dabashi is a secular Green

by Tabarzin on

You can google this info yourself.


Reality-Bites

Sounds good

by Reality-Bites on

We know about his denounciations (at least some of them), do you also happen to know what he is for or what kind of a future he would like to see in Iran?


Tabarzin

No

by Tabarzin on

I would say the man has a solid conscience, has thought about the issues long and hard, and unlike some is not a sell-out to the highest foreign bidder.


Reality-Bites

Tabarzin jaan

by Reality-Bites on

Seeing as this Dabashi fellow is denouncing foreign intervention in Libya and, you say, has denounced Ghaddafi and denounced the IR, would you also say he is a serial-denouncer?

 


Tabarzin

Good for him! As he should denounce it...

by Tabarzin on

The hoopla over the demise of Ghadaffi is no different from the hoopla and blood lust of Western leaders when the Shah fell. As a claimed monarchist and supporter of the Shah how can you not see that this whole spectacle is no different from the foreign meddling that destroyed our country 32 years ago?

By the way Hamid Dabashi is on record for denouncing Ghadaffi and his regime as he is on record denouncing the IRI. This blog is slander.
