 Death Squad Democracy?
No thank you. The IRI would be a far
better evil than the evil leaders America could export to Iran

March 5th was the 38th anniversary of Time magazine's
1951 Man of the Year, Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh. He was a symbol
of the rule of law and democracy who died under house arrest
by design
of the "good" Americans.
Under Mossadegh's rule, Iran became a blossoming civil society
with an elected government, freedom of the press, and thriving
political
parties. Mossadegh was a man of peace who would have had a far
greater impact in world politics than Mahatma Gandhi or Nelson
Mandela.
Basic to his belief was an understanding that political freedom,
national liberation, and civil society cannot materialize without
national control over economic resources. Democracy and national
independence are meaningless without economic independence. He
confronted British Imperialism under the rubric of international
laws and won. During a time when the imperial powers were on the
run, there was a balance of terror in the United Nations, and there
was an independent International Court at the Hague, where Mossadegh
won the right to nationalize Iran's oil.
In 1953, with the blessing of corrupt mullahs, the CIA
instigated gangs of thugs to back a military coup
that overthrew the legitimate and democratically elected government
of Mossadegh.
For the next quarter of a century, the US superimposed
Mohammad Reza Shah's regime. The Americans
crushed a thriving democracy and oulawed opposition parties. All
forms of political dissent were suppressed by the dreaded SAVAK
-- Iran's secret service trained by the CIA. The purge of progressive
nationalists,
massacre of opposition forces, and cold-blooded murder of patriots
by firing squads, achieved unprecedented political docility
that lasted 25 years.
Over
the years, the Shah's regime became more benevolent as Iran prospered
and was declared an "island of stability" by President
Jimmy Carter. With a subservient mullah force on his payroll,
the
social structure became secularized and Iranians marched towards
modernization.
The Shah was oblivious to the fact that his Imperial
Masters knew of his terminal illness and had decided to replace
him with their sleeper-cell mullahs who would use Islam
to maintain their anti-communist ideology and contain the expansionist
desiures of the Soviet Union. After all, organizing, arming,
and financing the Mujahedin
and their al Qaida alliesbrought excellent results in Afghanistan.
General Huyser's mission in Iran was to neutralize any patriotic
resistance by Shah's generals, systematically dismantle the Shah's
intelligence services, halt any defensive measures from the ruling
elite for self preservation and deliver Iran with minimum costs
to the CIA's old Mullah allies. All of these activities were done
under the guise of the "Islamic Revolution."
The CIA
invented the "Islamic Revolution" and Ramsey Clark sold
it to the world. In the end, an anti-communist Islamic state was
successfully implanted in under the belly of Russia. It seems that
Carter was double crossed by his Neocon Intelligence and lost the
election because of a fabricated hostage crisis. To conceal their
complicity, Huyser's mission was pronounced a failure.
It is not surprising that American hostages were released on
Reagan's inauguration day as a show of gratitude to the CIA's
help in installing a brutal regressive regime of Mullahs. These
Mullahs
were alien to the Persian urbanites. They had nothing in common
with revolutionary Islam espoused by Ali Shariati, who had denounced
Mullahs as reactionary parasites living off an oppressive tyrannical
government.
Murderous thugs and political opportunists took over the politics.
Millions of Iranians were forced to flee their country and Iran
became an Islamic Republic. Twenty-five years had passed. Oliver
North's buddy, from the infamous Iran-contra saga, Rafsanjani has
billions of dollars stashed in Canada, United States and Australia
and runs the country by proxy.
It is unfortunate that the United States is demanding a regime
change and preparing to do anything to cause turmoil in Iran. Not
withstanding that Rafsanjani, his thugs, and other religious zealots,
who have thrived on brutality and murder, have done everything
in their power to privatize and offer guarantees to foreign Global
Corporations. That is not enough.
The Neo-Cons' proponent of the
'rollback' Reagan Doctrine that was supplemented by "Project for the
New American Century" is now espousing "Death Squad" Democracies.
Under the assumption of this new imperial theory, Iran must give
100 percent control of its resources and imports to foreign corporations
and implement a "democratic" government based on a so-called
democratic election.
It does not matter how the votes are counted, it does not matter
if major candidates are assassinated, and it does not matter if
50 percent of the population does not participate. As long as an
election takes place and the public can show the world their inked
fingers, everything is fine.
The US Empire now operates on fascist
principals of pre-emptive strikes, blackmail and death squads.
The modus operandi of the new Imperial power is the use of propaganda
and the violation of every rule of international law to achieve
its dominance. They would commit any crime while declaring themselves
liberators. They would claim that they are helping freedom fighters,
and like Wolfowitz espouse any "Tootie Fruity Revolution in
the Middle East"
What the Bush administration has got for Iran is air strikes,
the disruption of the fabric of social life of Iranians, and
a regime change. These changes would be successful on all grounds
with a helping hand from Ariel Sharon. Unlike Iraq's patriot leaders
who stood their ground and did not have a major opposition outside,
Iranian leaders, like Rafsanjani, would run to Canada for their
own survival and the protection of their investments.
In addition
there are millions of American and British Iranian who, like
Chalabi and Alawi, would go and murder their own people. U.S
also has a
great number of traitors, terrorists and saboteurs called the
Mujahedin Rapid Occupation Force who are ready and trained to
spear head
the establishments of Death Squads in Iran.
On this anniversary of Mossadegh's death, it is idealistic to
espouse dialogue, yet every sign points towards a regime change
in Iran.
The time of the Iranian government is over. It was an alien entity
imposed on Iran in the name of Islam that has brought nothing but
corruption, prostitution and destitution. Iran must rapidly open
itself to modern political and social ideas in order to discourage
any US instigated uprising from its restless population.
The CIA
and Special Ops officers are actively in contact with known thugs
and the lumpen proletariat, who a generation ago rioted against
Mossadegh for $5 each. Unlike the Mossadegh
era, there are hundreds of thousands of educated "hyphenated
Iranians" who would become proxies for an American intervention.
 Now is the time to act. Presently, the Iranian government is
made up mostly of people who share tradition, culture and feeling
towards the oppressed masses. This government would be a far better
evil than the evil leaders America could export to Iran.
Iran must do anything to boost its air defence and stick to
its guns about the development of Atomic arsenal. Even a declaration
of having one would be a deterrent. After all, the non-proliferation
treaty was based on the principle that those who have the WMD
would
be dismantling it. Since that has not happened and since Israel
has a large arsenal of atomic weapons, Iran is justified to develop
any weapon for its self-defence.
U.S. interference in Iran is a reality. The Iranian government
must realize and act now to neutralize it or Iran might join the
other burned and devastated lands of Middle East with a "democratically" elected
puppet government who will destroy it for the next 25 years. Having
seen the atrocities that the Americans committed in Fallujah, I
suspect that is what coming up for Iran and the rest of the Middle
East.
What destroyed Mossadegh was his indecisiveness and reliance
on diplomacy. Rather than arming every patriot to defend their
motherland, he naively relied on "good" Americans. The
in-fighting must be stopped and young revolutionaries like Abdi, Salam newspaper
editor, must be released from jail.
Unity not division, compromise
rather than animosity should become the rule
of the
game amongst
brothers. It is crystal clear that the "ugly" Americans
have more than one million uglier opportunist "Persian-Americans" of
every kind and creed who would take pleasure in destroying Iran
in order to save it from Mullahs. Some would go so far as paying
Americans to play Allawi's role in Iran, and go "Mullah hunting" instead.
 A decisive action, a call to arms and a declaration of a state
of national emergency, reinforced by an "election" which
permits a minimum permissiveness might be a great deterrent to
Wolfowitz's "Hejab Revolution" in Iran. Foreigners of
any kind -- even the hyphenated expatriates -- should not
be permitted to return and establish a Death Squad Democracy in
Iran. Indecision is the mother of all evils and whatever decision
the Iranian leadership makes now would affect Iran's destiny.
