With most of the vote in, it seems that with the conservative Democrats taking charge of the House, ironically GWB will actually have agreement in certain areas like Immigration. The only real challenge to GWB will be San Fransiconian politics of Liberal Democrat Nancy Pelosi. Iranians will need her help to fight for women's rights in Iran. As the most Liberal Democrat she will have to keep the sanity of United States in the challenging times ahead. Go Nancy hit GWB hard! But alas, and ironically she has the most conservative bunch of Democrats she has had to deal with.
So Centre Politics is King, and the moderates are now in charge. Extremism is off the table, unless it is provoked by some incident like 9/11. And we don't really know what the oil companies and the military machine will cook up for the US. You all know the conspiracy theories; from US sinking their own ships to whateva, blaming it on Islamists etc etc, because the Islamists could not do it anyway. But with the US military machine facing cut backs and some Democrats talking about impeaching GWB, these theories can become reality.
And so I say, we Iranians have to ignore the Americans. We are a nation of our own, and we need to not get caught up, in the what if's. Remember how Iranians got suckered by the Republicans, thinking that they would have the US engage the Islamists very soon. And what happened? Nothing. Every day Iranians outside Iran get up and wish, "oh let's hope that the Russians or Chinese side with the EU and US, and everyone bashes the mad mullah in the head, and kicks them out." This is the classical posh Iranians' living abroad mentality. And because of that, the antithesis it produces, is the no frills Islamist Iranians in Iran, who fell for Ahmadinejad. So at one extreme you have the modern Iranians like the Crown Prince, and at the other end Mesbah Yazdi. But they both react to US politics. None try to motivate the silent majority of Iranians. And the key word is motivate. The Crown Prince has a duty to run the Royal Institution, but he is not doing anything in a focused practical way. The Iranian Opposition has not come together in a coordinated way as I have stated.
What have I stated? And is it new? Nothing is new in this game. Zoroaster and Cyrus the Great said it thousands and thousands of years ago. And do any of the so called "Leaders of Iran" say anything along the line of non violent regime change everyday? Not one of them does. How many articles have we Iranians written about non violent regime change? I have, but who else? Shame on all editors and all the Iranian Bloggers and anyone who is interested in the future of Iran if they do not talk about peaceful regime change. More people are interested in how Iran does in global politics, than taking direct action towards non violent regime change by themselves.
So I say to the people of Iran, especially those rich Iranians in sunny California. For the sake of Iran think about what I have said. Talk to all your relatives and friends about non violent regime change. Forget about what US politics is. We Iranians must handle our own affairs ourselves in our own civilized way. Take your first action. Argue about the how we are going to change Iran so that our children can live with the Islamists' children. Yes as Gandhi and all passive movement people have said, we have to win the peace. So start with a discussion about peace. Engage a conversation about how weak the Islamists are if the people of Iran go on a General Strike.
If you are an editor of an Iranian newspaper, I hope you really not sleep tonight if you do not think about how many people have not learnt from you, the benefits of General Strike and non violent regime change. The people of Iran must write as many articles about national peace for Iran. Iranian Love is stronger than Islam. Our culture is deeper than any other principle, and we can use it to show how civilized we really are. We have our own poets and philosophers, that bind us in our Iranian way. It is with these ideas that we can bind the people and show that we can resist working for the alien Islamist slave drivers, and be able to not feel guilty when we remove them in a civilized way without any harm to them.
