Is hope for help a distant dream?
By: Amil Imani
The passion for power to dominate, to control and to rule one’s fellow humans is an ancient impulse. It goes back to medieval times when certain characters had the desire to force their will upon those around them.
Islamic Republic is not an exception to this rule. They, too, have ruled over defenseless Persians for the past 26 years, with iron fists and with absolute power. It has caused millions of people to flee their country. For those remaining, have been subject to mass executions, thousands upon thousands of fabricated arrests, thousands of people torn away from their homes and thrown into prison. They have been subjected to torture, made to confess to the crimes they never committed, and then either exterminated or sent back to medieval Islamic torture chambers where they simply faded away. It is difficult for many people to even talk about these horrible tragedies.
In 1979, upon returning from his long exile, Ayatollah Khomeini set the stage for gaining absolute power via primitive Islamic rules and by employing hundreds of thousands of overzealous revolutionary guards and militia police repression against opposition elements within the country. The machinery of coercion went to work against the Iranian people who had fought a long fight against the totalitarian regimes and who were unaware of the plot of one the greatest terrorist minded individuals of the twentieth century. The year 1979 was the beginning of the rejuvenation of the evil empire of Islam.
The propaganda machinery of the newly emerged empire of evil went to work. Distorted information was at work. The Mullahs’ fear of the Iranian people, knowing how deeply the people hate them, increased their propaganda machine and they continued to tell larger than life lies about popular support for the terrorist regime.
The execution of thousands of prisoners of conscience by the direct order of the founder of Islamic Republic, Khomeini, in the Summer of 1988, reached its pinnacle.
In his speech, Khomeini said, “Those who are in prisons throughout the country and remain committed to their support for the Monafeqin[Mojahedin], are waging war on God and are condemned to execution….Destroy the enemies of Islam immediately. As regards the cases, use whichever criterion that speeds up the implementation of the [execution] verdict.”
Ayatollah Khomeini notable legacy will live alongside the most infamous and hated men in history, such as Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot and Saddam Hussein who sent million of their own countrymen to their deaths!
That is how the Iranians learned the Islamic justice. That is how the Iranian Muslims gained first hand experience of the rotten laws of Islam in their society. And that is why after 26 years of incessant indoctrination of Islamic barbarism, Iran has the largest anti-Islamic law population in the Muslim world, and a huge pro-western youth. The Islamic Republic brainwashing machine has simply backfired on them.
Ironically, the more vociferous Iranian people became in defying the terrorist State, the more European countries were engaging in appeasing the Islamic tyrants. Now is precisely the time for President Bush to show solidarity with the majority of Iranians who want greater freedom, just as Ronald Reagan spoke up for the people of Poland in the early 1980s.
The only way to stop Iran’s despotic regime from another holocaust, is to help Iranians change the regime themselves. Ironically, the Islamic regime has no fear of foreign invasion. The only true fear within the rulers of the Islamic regime is from the Iranian people. The Islamic Republic has already invited the world to attack Iran, because that would only unite the Iranians against the invaders. So, does an entire generation, which has grown up since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, favor the U.S. point of view? The answer is Yes, indeed, they do. The problem for the U.S., and the world, is that Islamic Republic remains one of the leading state supporters of Islamic terrorism.
On the occasion of the 14th anniversary of the death of Ayatollah Khomeini, the founding father of the Islamic Republic, the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei spoke “The American threats are not new. They have threatened us since the beginning of the Islamic revolution. They know that militarily attacking Iran and the Iranian nation would mean suicide for the aggressor.
So the only real option left is to subdue the Islamic Republic’s aspiration of starting World War III. This requires the support of the people of Iran and their legitimate quest for freedom, justice and liberty and friendship with the people of the United States. Yet, not by words of kindness or patting on their shoulders, but massively arming the defenseless Iranian people to fight and exterminate these brutal and unwanted thugs from their land. The clock is ticking and Iranian people are losing faith that help is coming.

We all know too why the reluctance to arm the Iranians for their fight. We are routinely criticized by so many for arming the Afghans in their fight against Russia. Those arms were then used against us in the war immediately following 9/11. Now don’t get me wrong. I believe we were right in helping the Afghans against Russia. It’s just a two edged sword. We’ll be damned if we do and damned if we don’t. And who knows - our government could even now be secretly arming them. In many ways, I hope so. In other, yet fewer, ways, it frightens me. But then, we are already considered the scourge of the earth. Why not take it all the way and just say screw all the idiots, and arm the Iranian youth to the teeth.

I say that times change, as do geopolitical situations. We armed Iraq years ago against a greater evil-Iran. Now those inside Iran who want change-maybe they will embrace our efforts and it cuold lead to much brighter future. People who WANT democracy tend to fight for it and fight to defend it. We have to have a positive outlook on it.

Five webloggers jailed
Reporters Without Borders
Reporters Without Borders has strongly protested against the Iran’s relentless efforts to stifle free expression online after the arrest of five webloggers in less than two months, the latest on 28 November 2004.
“The government is now attacking blogs, the last bastion of freedom on a network that is experiencing ever tighter control,” said the
worldwide press freedom organisation. “At the same time, an Iranian delegate is sitting on a UN-created working group on Internet
governance. The international community should condemn this masquerade,” it added.
Three webloggers identified only by their first names were arrested on 29 October 2004. They were : Dariush http://www.dariushkabir.com), Omid (http://www.shurideh.com) and Payvand (http://gayaneh.net).
Mojtaba Saminejad was arrested at the beginning of November for speaking out against the arrest of his three colleagues in his blog (http://man-namanam.blogspot.com).
Farid Modaressi, a member of the student organisation the Office to Consolidate Unity, was arrested on 28 November on the order of the prosecutor’s office in the city of Qom. He had posted a number of articles on his weblog (http://farid.blogset.com) exposing persistent harassment in the city by members of the conservative movement. Two of his brothers were reportedly arrested two days earlier and are apparently still being held.
The crackdown also continues against news websites. Hamed Motaghi, editor of Naqshineh.com, a webzine in Qom, was sentenced on appeal on 18 November to a three-month suspended prison term for “publishing false information with the aim of disrupting public order”. His site has been inaccessible in Iran since March 2004.
Five cyberjournalists - Mahboubeh Abbasgholizadeh, Fershteh Ghazi, Javad Gholam Tamayomi, Omid Memarian et Shahram Rafihzadeh - are still imprisoned for contributing to reformist websites.
Reporters Without Borders defends imprisoned journalists and press freedom throughout the world, as well as the right to inform the public and to be informed, in accordance with Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Reporters Without borders has nine national sections (in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom), representatives in Abidjan, Bangkok, Buenos Aires, Istanbul, Montreal, Moscow, New York, Tokyo and Washington and more than a hundred correspondents worldwide.

I agree with the concept of freedom of speech, but I’m not sure that I’m in agreement with your quoting international law as the reasoning to do so.
Yes, Iran has a big problem; it’s radical Islam.

People who place comments while forgetting to take the caplock off while simultaneously demonstrating their lack of English literacy, with a link back to a site that sells dildoes in my opinion do not deserve the linkback, so it’s been removed.
As for the rest of what you have to say here, I’m leaving it to laugh at.
God Bless America, and let’s hope that terrorists who are running around the internet leaving troll turds like you just did, get what they deserve in the end.
Amil is receiving death threats and other threats from the likes of you, so I’m sorry if I don’t fall all over myself welcoming your idiotic diatribe.
