Persian People Power II

Fire of Liberty

I just wanted to note that the mullah's quest for the bomb is something that should concern the US, Israel, Europe, and the rest of the Middle East but that we should focus on solving the situation by undermining or dissolving the regime from the inside. By opening up channels of political/moral/economic support to the "real democrats" of Iran, like the students, academics, and workers rather than dealing with the so called "moderates" that certain folks in the media and the State Department seem to fawn over, we can make our fight against this main pillar of the Axis of Evil much easier rather than launching a full scale attack. With some 60% of the Iranian population under 30 and not to mention that they're one of the most pro-American people in the region, the "true democrats" can do a far greater number on the mullahs than what our bombs could ever do. (Now if the regime in Iran brings their nuke program online in the near future I can see us taking out the mullahs militarily but for now we should take the Cold War route ala Solidarity of Poland.) As I said in the last post, we should use the pro-American stance and the people of Iran's anger towards the mullahs to our advantage and help them take back the country and return to the fold of the free world that they enjoyed prior to 1979. So lets get on our feet and call on our congressman, senator as well as President Bush to champion this quest for freedom that is clearly alive in the hearts of the Iranian people. I for one think this is a far greater solution than the use of force. (I'm still leaving the use of force on the table because we'd be foolish not to be willing to wack someone around that is definitely a real and threatening danger.)
