By far, this will be the most serious threat that the West has encountered. As Ahmadinejad said about Iran’s nuclear program, the train (nuclear program) is moving forward with no brakes until it reaches its objectives. If you think Iraq was a mess, then wait and see what happens when the clerics get the bomb.
The political landscape of Iran is not as discouraging as it may seem. With 2,500 years of history, resistance is embedded in Iranian culture. The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) has been an organized resistance movement standing up to the clerics to restore democracy to Iran for the past three decades. Being a broad coalition of democratic Iranian organizations, groups and individuals, including People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, NCRI represents a broad spectrum of political tendencies in Iran, aiming to establish a democratic, secular coalition government in Iran. In the latest major gathering organized by the NCRI outside of Iran in Paris on June 30 2007, about 50,000 Iranians from all over Europe attended.
In the coming days, the world will witness the already hard-line parliament being replaced by an entity that on the one hand is much more ruthless and brutal than its predecessor but, on the other hand, is on the verge of disintegration. I believe that there is a solution to the Iran crisis at the lowest cost to the Iranian people and to the West. As Mrs. Rajavi excellently said it in her statement, any delay to adopt a firm policy vis-à-vis the regime would result in a major catastrophe. Such policy should comprise of comprehensive sanctions imposed on the mullahs' regime, as well as recognition of the Iranian people's right to resist. The first step in adopting such a policy is to remove the PMOI, the back bone of the Iranian opposition, from the terrorist lists in the US and in the EU. Listing the PMOI as a terrorist organization was a key component of the appeasement policy toward religious fascism ruling Iran.
I hope the world is ready to deal with this regime by bringing together all its efforts to support the anti-thesis of this phenomenon, the NCRI, enabling it to fully mobilize all its potentials to initiate a popular regime change in Iran.
