We BLUFFED you??? ur 2 sleepy to make sense. goodnight

.

Oh Yes, but that's what PEOPLE WANTED

This isn't WWII where French people wanted the liberation. Make up your mind, was it a bluff, or was it support for invasion, like in WWII?

Besides, you have your analogies wrong. It was a foreign country, Nazi Germany that invaded Paris and killed its people. That's the right counterpart to what the Clown Prince is doing when "bluffing" foreign countries to invade Iran.

so, now you are reduced to saying people in Iran want to be invaded? Finally it comes out!

So... pathetic!

Q Q BANG BANG The last self-respecting French leader

Endorsed A Full Invasion of his country by Democratic Allies and on Two Fronts ( Normandy and PRovence). 

But I guess You never Heard of D-DAY ? ...

And his name was De Gaulle ... Charles De Gaulle:

LE GRAND CHARLES: De Gaulle Greets Iran's Royals (1961)

Something RP2 has Never Even Suggested. So Deem Yourself Lucky ...

Now as I Told You before I have Nothing to say to you. 

there you have it Kadivar...

No He Did Not because he took a Calculated Risk or Poker Bluff if you will which Proved Strategically Coherent and Rewarding in retrospect. Pure BS. REAL leaders don't take "poker chances" with the lives of their people. No self-respecting French leader would take any risk of bombing half of Paris for "strategic" purposes. You only show how frighteningly incompetant and out of touch the Clown Prince really is.  

One of the Reasons being that it put pressure on the IRI Leadership by creating internal divisions between them and ultimately triggered the Upheaval we saw last summer in Iran

LOL! You and your clown Prince advocated boycott of the elections!

YOU yourself said the night before the votes "I hope nobody comes out tomorrow". 2 Weeks later all of you were holding "Where is my vote?" signs and wearing Green wristbands, which are now denounced as soon as it wasn't popular in the western press anymore.

Clown Prince and his Monarchist cheerleaders are Charlatan oppotunists pure and simple.

What Friends in Congress ? Which Neo Cons ?

His contacts with the Congress have been limited In Full Transparency on Capitol Hill to the Democracy Fund headed at the time by Republican Senator Sam Brownback since the American President simply happened to be Republican. Otherwise he would have continued with the same Democrat administration which he had contacts with Prior to the Republican Administration. Since after all The Very Same Democracy Fund was Created under the Democrats by PResident Clinton's Administration. A Fund which YOUR Friend Trita is Benefiting from while hypocritically denying it to the Iranian Opposition which has been opposed to the IRI before he himself was hardly an adult.

I have Read Trita's Diatribe on RP in the Chapter of his book Treacherous Alliance which I went and Bought. He should Reimburse me for making the effort. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TANGIBLE EVIDENCE in his accusations.

Relying on weak testimonies with Absolutely NO NAME of the individuals he claims to have assisted at these meetings ( there is absolutely No bibliographic reference in that specific chapter unlike in his other well researched chapters)  or PROOF of what he is claiming including in a passage where he claims RP was suggesting that former officers of the Imperial Army were Willing to Join Hands with US Forces to attack Iraq ( or eventually IRan) if Necessary. 

BULL SHIT !

You Fellows wanted to Bluff Us ? Well we BLUFFED YOU !

Not My Fault if You Have No Stomach for Greatness ...

LOL 

DK: ur answer is "No" & "0". Calculated silence? OK, good night

But, I still say that RP should have spoken up and met with his friends in the Congress as the neocons/AIPAC crowd were looking for Iranian blood in a new war with Iran! 

Answer

No He Did Not because he took a Calculated Risk or Poker Bluff if you will which Proved Strategically Coherent and Rewarding in retrospect. One of the Reasons being that it put pressure on the IRI Leadership by creating internal divisions between them and ultimately triggered the Upheaval we saw last summer in Iran.

It was the Fear and Paranoia of an eventual War triggered by Ahmadinejad's Adventurism that Created the Upheaval last Summer and Not merely the fact that the Results were disappointing for the Greens. 

As Such I TOTALLY Approved and Endorsed RP's Relative Silence at the time even if I myself was Vocal about the Counter productive nature of a Surgical Attack on the Nuclear Sites and specifically against the "Obliteration" Comments of Mrs. Clinton.

The Very Same Secretary of State who has since Commissioned Your Idol Trita on a Conference in the Middle East without the slightest outrage from your members who not long ago were shouting their heads off calling RP a Neo Con Traitor and presenting Ahmadinejad as Iran's New Mossadegh.

So it is not a PhD Graduate in Political Science like Trita who was hardly 5 Years Old when the Revolution Ousted his Treacherous Faced Family who is going to teach us the Arts of Politics:

HISTORY FORUM: Machiavelli's "The Prince" and the "Art" of Governing 

And Preach Us about Morality in Politics when he went as far as collaborating with the IRI Ambassador at the United Nations amongst many other suspicious contacts no more different than that other Traitor Houshang Amir Ahmadi !

DK jaan - very simple questions in d spirit of FR's new hero, MK

Did RP speak up and scream foul AS the US Congress was preparing bills for

* The US was giving the green light to Israel

* When the Congress was preparing a bill amounting to war

* When the Congress was preparing the broad crippling sanctions.

Yes OR No?

How many times did RP meet with his friends in the Congress / the White House...... regarding the above issues? or testify against these bills?

0-4?, 5-10? .....

Even if he did not, he did the right thing to speak up now, but his voice would have carried more weight as these bills were being drafted.  That was my point, my friend. 

MM jaan - re-posting My position since 1979 (since u missed it)

And Reiterated to VPK In Reponse to Columbia conference on war with Iran: 

NO VPK they want to deliver Iran to the likes of people with a mentality like Sargord Pirouz  !

Their Reference to Reza Shah is a cover up for a grander Bargain and that is to deliver Iran to the next Power Hungry Military Demogogue and Dictator to be rather than allowing the Chances of a National Reconciliation through a Democratic Transition which could be guaranteed by a Restoration of the Legitimate Crown Prince of IRan.

Hence their infatigable efforts to discredit and undermine his efforts on grounds of pseudo Academic credentials and Anti War Arguments with the help of various lobbies in the US. This Clown Being ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG:

Parazit: Hooshang Amirahmadi | Iranian.com

It's Never late to become a Constitutionalist and I would even Insist an Unconditional Supporter of the Restoration of the Crown Prince on the Peacock Throne in a bid to Restore Not Only Democracy But Human Rights to the Fullest.

Anything Short of that I GUARANTEE YOU will result to the END OF AN ALREADY HIGHJACKED GREEN MOVEMENT ( by the Likes of Dabashi and Co) and an unpredicatible outcome of an Iranian dictatorship no different from Saddam Hussein or anyother Republic in the Middle East from Syria to Egypt.

Iran Deserves Better !

LESSONS IN DEMOCRACY: Shapour Bakhtiar Interview with LA TV (1987)

HISTORY FORUM: Nader Naderpour on Iran's Constitutional Revolution and European Rennaissance (1996)

Mansour Farhang at his old age simply wants to feel intellectually or should I say ANN TELECTUALLY Satisfied to see the out come of a Napoleonic like Dictator with an Islamic Cloak NOT an IRanian Cloak so as to SAFEGUARD THE REPUBLIC he SO STRONGLY ADVOCATED !

MARK MY WORD : They Prefer to See the Outcome a dictatorship to satisfy their Broken Dreams before they die while those STILL ALIVE will HAVE TO PUT UP with ANOTHER NIGHTMARE ! 

These Fellow ARE Nothing Short of TRAITORS !

PERIOD !

And I will Fight them INTELLECTUALLY TO THE LAST BREATH in my Body !

Now go ahead and intellectualize your Loyalties to such extent that all you wil have left is an Iran you will NEVER SEE in your lifetime let Alone Democratic !

I REFUSE TO INDULGE IN SUCH A COLLABORATION NO DIFFERENT TO WHAT SOME FRENCH DID BY COLLABORATING WITH THE VICHY GOVERNMENT !

A TREACHEROUS ALLIANCE Only to be Opposed by ONE BRAVE AND UNCONDITIONAL PATRIOT :

I REFUSE !

DO YOU HEAR ME ?

I REFUSE ... TO BARGAIN MY SOUL WITH THE AGENDA OF THESE TRAITORS TO THE CORE OF IRANZAMIN AND WHAT OUR COUNTRY HAS STOOD FOR THE PAST 25 CENTURIES !

Hassan Nasrollah and NIAC

Everybody knows where RP stands regarding H. N. But you know better than I do that the good majority of NIAC supporters are very much in favor of Iran's foreign policies.

why is RP silent on hassan

why is RP silent on hassan nassrollah?

Why is NIAC so quiet on Hassan Nasrallah

He is one of the leaders of a nation and the fat cow insulted Iranian identity, why NIAC does not say anything about it?

What should be the criteria to hear the criticism, being an ally of the US?

You do remember the Persian Gulf case, right?

DK jaan - re-posting NIAC's position since 2007 (since u missed)

Since you missed my blog, here is the third point that I brought up regarding Opposing the IRI’s injustices while countering the war-mongers.  For the first 2 points: 1. Opposing the MKO’s rhetoric; 2. Acting on behalf of issues important to Iranian-Americans, see my blog at

 //iranian.com/main/blog/mm/sorry-mind-if-i-mop-while-you-mope

3. NIAC has accomplished the following results, through her ACTIONS, to prevent war with Iran, to oppose the influence of war-mongers headed by AIPAC/neo-cons and to promote democracy / human rights in Iran.  What has your Iranian-American organization done towards that end?

You see, the thought of bombs flying into Tehran and other cities brings nightmares similar to Saddam’s scuds raining in the 80’s.  I personally am not happy to see my old neighborhoods in ruins and specially loss of lives towards my friends / families / Iranians.  I am not alone in this regard since 70% of Iranian-Americans do not want a war with Iran according to Berkeley University’s study.  While one may say that the smart bombs are accurate, the accuracy is only 85%, and the remaining 15% missiles stray around to find a target, and a stray bomb is blind and not so smart.  The head nut-job John Bolton has even advocated the use of Israeli nukes on Iran to push their agenda!  Scary crap, isn’t it?  I have my personal preferences on bringing democracy to Iran which were outlined in an IC blog, Practical path towards democracy, making it Iranian-made.

I have had numerous communications regarding the Iranian struggles with Trita Parsi.  He is in agreement that there needs to be democracy with full implementation of the human rights charter in Iran as a goal of any resistance.  Furthermore, Trita has said that it is impossible to have democracy while undemocratic institutions such as velayat-e faghih or the Guardian Council exist (video part #7, Trita Parsi on Andisheh TV).  But, unlike me who supports secularism, as an independent Iranian-American organization, NIAC is hesitant to support a particular faction since as soon as we talk about regime change, all the spitting contests (your way is bad) and pissing contests (my way is better) by various factions start.  As a result, NIAC supports democracy in Iran, with an emphasis on the implementation of human rights as the first step towards whatever the Iranian people choose as the form of government.  

So, the following is a partial list of ACTIONS taken by NIAC to prevent a war with Iran and to promote democracy / human rights within.

* NIAC has taken a stance with regards to the following bills and influenced them with voter awareness followed by electronic writing campaigns that were hand-delivered to the Congressional offices as well as talks with the Capitol staffers/Representatives:

Stand With the Iranian People: support The Stand With the Iranian People Act (H.R.4303), support Iranian Digital Empowerment Act (H.R.4301), oppose Iranian Refined Petroleum Sanctions Act (H.R. 2194), oppose Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Divestment, and Accountability Act (S.2799), support Reduce Iranian Cyber-Suppression Act (H.R.3284 / S.1475), oppose Accountability for Business Choices in Iran Act (H.R.3922), support Iran Human Rights Sanctions Act (H.R.4647 / S.3022), support Travel Ban (H.CON.RES.256)

Defend Human Rights: support Religious Freedom Resolution (H.RES.33), support Granger Resolution (H.RES.888), support Baha'i Resolution (S.RES.71 / H.Res. 175), support U.S. Hikers Resolution (S.CON.RES.40 / H.Con.Res. 189), support Robert Levinson Resolution (H.Con.Res. 36 / S.CON.RES.4) .

* 2007-2010: Twice a year, NIAC holds a major policy conference on Capitol Hill to examine the most significant and timely issues facing the US and Iran & NIAC and Amnesty International held a joint conference on Capitol Hill titled "Human Rights in Iran and U.S. Policy Options.

* 2007:  Even the real rats got envious: Why has Amnesty International invited a stooge of the Iranian regime to a Congressional hearing on Iranian human rights abuses?  By a jealous Kenneth Timmerman.  

* 2008: Defeated a Congressional resolution that would have paved the way for a US-Iran war.

* 2009: Ensured human rights were on the agenda when the U.S. began talks with Iran.  This has, hopefully, led to the recent 2010 boycott of the 8 Iranian officials with the worst human rights record.

* 2009: Helped remove sanctions on vital online communication tools like MSN Messenger, FaceBook, and YouTube to ensure the free flow of information in Iran (Stand with the people of Iran Congressional Act).

* 2010: NIAC Conference Highlights Demand for Human Rights of Iranian People.

* 2010: Congressional Testimony of Trita Parsi on Human Rights in Iran.

Dk jan: These people are

Dk jan: These people are being groomed by the state department/cia  to carry  their mission of cosmetically changing the face of IRI. Plain and simple. Can't you tell by the airtime they are given throughout the academia and even the media?

DK jaan - I missed u in my blog where I explained....

DK jaan - I missed you in my blog where I explained NIAC's position in this regard since 2007.  Where were you?

DK

RP, as the leader of a major Iranian faction, should speak up louder and sooner, and specially talk to his friends in the US Congress....etc. when:

* The US was giving the green light to Israel

* When the Congress was preparing a bill amounting to war

* When a senator calls for crippling Iran by sinking her Navy, destroying specific targets.....

* When the Congress was preparing the broad crippling sanctions.

Speaking out a few months before or after in talk-shows OR no-name-conferences, and specially when the train has left the station, is a bid wishy-washy, my naive friend. 

You all condemned NIAC for speaking up in the US Congress on the above items when the discussions were on-going, and now that RP is repeating NIAC's concerns, it is a day late and a dollar short, but as I said, "thanks, nonetheless".

MM.

a very good question MM

Dear Farah Rusta,

I believe if we ask any Iranian inside Iran (whose life will be affected first and foremost) whether they prefer to deal with the IRI themselves and the siege they are under OR a siege by American/Israeli forces, without a doubt vast majority if not unanimously will choose their current situation.

The question then becomes are we for the wishes of Iranians inside Iran or what we want without having to deal/feel any of the consequences of the war.

And I do believe that Mr. Reza Pahlavi will increase his support and earn much respect in the eyes of Iranians if he work in tandem to protected their country from a war of aggression

Mehrdad

Do You want an Answer MM ? Because You are So Gullible

and NAIVE Not to see the BIGGER PICTURE of those who claim to speak in YOUR GOOD HEARTED & WELL INTENTIONED name :

//iranian.com/main/albums/human-rights-first

MARK MY WORD TODAY FOR FUTURE REFERENCE !

Neither RP 2 , Nor YOU or ME will EVER see a Democratic Transition in Iran in Our Lifetime Thanks to these Sell Outs !

JUST YOU WAIT AND YOU AND THE REST WILL COME RUSHING BACK AND CRY FOR FORGIVENESS  ... AND REST ASSURED I WILL FORGIVE YOU ... BUT IT WILL BE TOO LATE FOR IRAN AND IRANIANS BACK HOME !

Good job, RP! Please speak louder/sooner when policies r drafted

Good job, RPI! But, please speak up louder AND sooner when policies are being drafted by the war-mongers.

PS, Why is it that when other groups condemn war-mongers for calling on attacks on Iran, or support targeted sanctions so that ordinary Iranians do not suffer, they are attacked by the same people who are praising RPI here for doing the same? 

Mehrdad jaan

I totally agree with you. My only concern is that the US lobbying may lead to prolonging the stage of siege uder which our fellow compatriots have been for the last three decades.

Regards

FR

Thank You Reza,

For giving some sense of "still alive" to your “fossilized in time & in cyber space” fans by running your “Reza in Twilight Zone” videos series!!!

PS: Long Live Reza II, a man of “no education”, “no work experience”, and “no reality check” with the tons of pillaged Iranian people money in his bank account!!!

Dear Farah Rusta:

It is my hope that the next leader is chosen by the Iranian people and if it is going to be in the form of a king, then it must be respected equally as long as it is in a free, fair and informed referendum.

And as for lobby the US against any war of aggression, I along many Iranian-Americans are grateful to not only NIAC but all of those concern citizen who care deeply about Iran and its citizens. They are currently under siege by the Mullahs and their thugs on a daily bases and hardly need any bombs to be fallen into their homes or their movement be control by the invading force such as it was the case in Iraq.

Mehrdad

Reza Pahlavi should return to Iran

He offered to serve in the Iranian air force when Saddam invaded - all credit to him - but he now he should go back to face all the tens of thousands of Iranians killed or tortured by his father and grandfather.

He should stop living in a fantasy world under American protection.

Just a few corrections

Shutruk joon

sorry to see you still burning from Reza Shah's putting your local Shah, Khaz'al, better known as the Brits most loyal lackey out of business for good. Who knows he could have been the Shah in competition with Moji. The smell of your burning is sensed 80 years on  :))

Piruz joon

sorry that America dumped and didn't install your grand-daddy. Stop being so bitter about it sweeti that was more than 70 years ago, oh and are you still not accepted as an American? Well change that face. - it gives the game away LOL.

amirkabir4u joon

have you seen this photo of your "arbabs" standing like good lackies in the presence of their Masters:

//iranian.com/main/image/126035

And now on a serious note:

Dear Mehrdad

You are perfectly right. The good news though is that Trita Parsi is already lobbying the US authorities (my good friend Dr Kazemzadeh perfers to call them the CIA) for that very purpose. So perhaps we should nominate Trita as the next king - after all he is Zoroastrian :}

FR
