The
US
Must Develop a Policy on
Iran

If you go through terrorist
attacks against the
United States
, you will find a re-occurring theme:
the Islamic regime of
Iran
that was behind it. It is
now known that recent insurgencies in
Iraq
have been coming from leader al-Sadr, who is sponsored by the Islamic
regime of
Iran
. It is time for the
United States
to develop a policy regarding
Iran
: to rid the world of its
modern NAZI Germany.
The Islamic regime of
Iran
is the biggest threat to the civilized world.
It poses not just a threat to the
United States
but could possibly start the next genocide against Jews.
The Islamic regime of
Iran
is developing a nuclear program that could hit
Israel
, a small area with roughly 5 million Jews – almost equivalent to the
number of Jews that Hitler killed.
So as long as this thug regime
is around, it will seek to destroy the
United States
,
Israel
, and our soldiers in
Iraq
. This regime does not want
a success story in
Iraq
. A success story in
Iraq
would mean a death to them, which is why they are launching attacks now
on American soldiers. Unless
we want to keep sending our soldiers into dangerous areas, with more
insurgencies coming up because we are not attacking the root of the
problem, it is time to deal with
Iran
.
There is a very simple and
effective solution that the
United States
can adopt to rid the mullahs in
Iran
with little cost to us: give
unequivocal moral and military support to the rebelling Iranian
population.
The Iranian population is ripe
for a regime change. The
Iraqi population was not. In
order for regime change to happen in
Iraq
, it had to happen by military force.
In
Iran
it does not: the population
can overthrow its own government.
Hopefully the work others and
myself have done on
Iran
will enlighten the public to the pro-American nature of the Iranian
population. After 9-11, whereas Palestinians came to the streets to
cheer on bin Laden, the Iranians came out with candlelight to support
the Americans. You can see
pictures of this at http://www.daneshjoo.org.
Helping to arm the Iranian population is not the same as arming
bin Laden, which we did to fight the Soviets.
In fact, to not use them or turn our backs on the Iranian
population would be suicidal.
If the Iranian population can
overthrow its own government without
US
military involvement, it would mean a host of good things.
This includes little casualties for us (possible border
protection should be provided against insurgencies into
Iraq
), the inability for the left and
Europe
to call us “imperialist,” and support from the Iranian population,
since they do not favor war in their backyards.
Relying on the Iranian
population to overthrow their own regime, however, does not mean
we should do nothing at all. The
Iranians have fought with great courage for freedom, to have the rest of
the world turn their backs on them.
Moral and military support from Western world leaders must be
given to the Iranian population.
Most who support regime change
in
Iran
have thought that Bush would wait until his re-election to deal with
Iran
. We must reject that
mentality. The
United States
should develop a policy towards dealing with the Islamic regime in
Iran
, starting today.
As was taught to us by
Madrid
on 3-11,
America
could easily be vulnerable during election time come this next November.
Terrorists may see it as a time where they could influence
American politics, or they may recognize it as the vulnerable time it
is, since no politician wants to utilize military force right before an
election. I say we reject
that mentality completely. Even
if we are attacked in early November, we should begin attacks
immediately on whoever did it. This
is all the more reason to start taking actions now.
If the Islamic regime of
Iran
stays in power, the success in
Iraq
thus far will have been futile, for the Iranian thugs will try to take
over this country. If
President Bush wants to finish the job in
Iraq
, he must turn his attention to
Iran
. If John Kerry is elected
president, who said recently he thought al-Sadr was a “legitimate
voice,” we can expect tyranny and oppression to loom in the Middle
East for years to come, and all efforts towards ridding the world of
dictators and terrorists will revert backwards.
Action should be taken now.
I’ve wanted to start an
organized activist campaign regarding
Iran
for a while now. The time is
right. Here are some things
you can do.
Write letters to politicians.
Here are two email addresses to
send letters to:
The president’s email is [email protected]
The vice president’s email is [email protected]
Since I am a
United States
’ citizen, I will write to
United States
’ politicians. However,
people throughout the world should write to their politicians too.
The threat the Islamic regime of
Iran
poses is a global one. A
global front must be made in retaliation.
Here is a brief list of things
you can tell the President and Vice President or your leader:
- It
is time to rid the world of its modern NAZI Germany.
- US
Soldiers must be given the support they need, ridding the source of
violence against them, which is the Islamic regime of
Iran
.
- More
speeches in favor of the Iranian population must be given.
- Military
support can be and should be provided to the rebelling Iranian
population.
- The
Iranian Islamic regime should have pressure put on it to release its
political prisoners.
What is going on in
Iran
must be clarified in clear, moral terms:
the mullahs are evil and the people who desire freedom are good.
The Iranian plight generally goes unnoticed and unreported.
Support from Western leaders – or celebrities or newspapers or
anything – would give the growing rebellions in
Iran
the moral support they need. The
Iranian people are our greatest asset in this, and if we could fuel the
fire under them, this would mean little or possibly no casualties of
ours.
Write to the media.
The Islamic regime of
Iran
is more afraid of the people rebelling in
Iran
being reported in Western media than they are of the actual rebellions.
It can be speculated that the mullahs are making threats to
Western media about reporting what is going on.
The Iranian situation is always either under-reported or never
reported accurately by the media – sympathy is always given to the
Islamic regime. Recently, Time
magazine questioned if the Islamic regime of
Iran
was funding al-Sadr, which is the equivalent of questioning if Hitler
was sponsoring NAZIs. The
only way the rebellions of the Iranian people were reported from last
July was because thousands of people started sending faxes, emails and
letters to the media. Shedding
light on the situation may be the best disinfectant possible.
Write letters to the editor.
If you are familiar with the
situation in
Iran
, a simple letter to your newspaper will help shed light on the
situation. This is
especially important if you are at a university, where political debate
is high.
Start a university club.
University clubs in favor of a
Free Iran already exist. It
is Iranians themselves who start them.
But many Iranians hide their identity and refrain from activism,
because they still have family in
Iran
. American college students,
who are so yearning to find any given cause, should also start such
clubs.
People often times wonder why
I’ve poured so much time into the Iranian cause.
Besides the first obvious reason, that the Islamic regime poses a
direct threat to the
United States
, it is really quite simple. I
live in a country where I can speak freely.
For me to sit idly by, and not write about it, when at best I
risk not my life or friends or even my job but at worst - unpopularity,
would be the most cowardly thing I can think of.
We must develop a policy
regarding
Iran
, which should revolve around unequivocal moral support given to the
people, not the mullahs, of
Iran
