In recent months we have been hearing a lot from Reza Pahlavi. On his campaign against IRI and on the proposal to refer Khamene-ee to international criminal court and on extending his hand toward all other opposition groups inviting them to unity in order to get rid of the IRI and open the way for a free fair referendum.
The bottom line is that so far his approach has been effective and even most radical opponent could not bring in a good counter argument.
Furthermore I am yet to see any of this “critics” to bring one, even one valid point to question the capability of RP for being one of the effective leaders of opposition to IRI.
Instead all we had was either ridicule and cheap insults, (typical trademark of IRI & Co) or we had blank opposition from people who are still fighting the battles of 50 years ago and do not even want to negotiate with him or hear his proposal. This is not because they have any valuable reason against the argument put forward by RP or can show any credible reasons proving his inability to lead, but the do it because at some point in the past they were fighting against his father and hence they are dismissing him NOT for the reasons of his own shortcoming but because of who he is. Now! Talking about discrimination!
On the other hand all these people done so far have been a smear campaign against RP stating 1001 irrelevant reasons (relating to his father and the battle of Mosadegh) as why they do not like him or his family and can not accept him as a leader or at least one of the candidates for the job.
While on the other hand these very same people refuse to come clean and let the rest of us know whom do they are supporting and they think is the right candidate or group of candidates to lead the country out of the current mess.
The shear audacity in all this is the fact that these very same people dare to call the rest of us closet monarchist while they themselves either do not have any viable candidate in mind or they already know about how discredited their candidate is that they do not dare to bring him/her out of the closet and present to the rest of us.
Well guys! Isn’t it about high time that you have come out of the closet yourself and let the rest of us know whose closet supporters you are.
Do you think that the key to our freedom is in the hands of Maryam and Masood Rajavi or do you have a communist comrade like Hamid Tagvaa-ee in mind, or may be you support the likes of Banisadr or even some descendants of Ahmad shah Ghajaar to come to power? Or may be you still think Mosavi and Karoobi can do anything for you. It is not like there are many choices around.
What are you afraid of? Why don’t you come clean present your leadership candidate?
Then we can all examine their credentials and credibility. We can assess their ability to be an effective leader and give you our verdict.
We will even go one further and promise you that we will not resort to cheep insults and ridicule and we only assess your candidate based on the merit his ideology and past conducts and will not bring their family or father into the equation.
If by now you have not got the message that such pathetic strategy not only is ineffective but is also counter effective to your cause (what ever that may be),.
then let me make a few points clear for you.
This very same strategy of dismissing and insulting the opposition or resorting to unfounded allegations instead of engaging in a viable debate has already been tried and failed by the IRI several times over the past 30 in such extend that it now sound like an annoying broken record to the rest of us years. Our people and especially the younger generation are sick and tired of this sort of smear campaign by those who do not have any valuable point of their own or any viable strategy to put on the table and instead spend their entire time trying to prevent others from trying.
So guys please get a life and if you do not have anything constructive to say put a suck in it
