Can the Iranian nation be bribed?
We all know how inefficient government and quasi-government organizations are in the best democracies. Countless books have been written comparing government services with private enterprises.
The religious domains that the Seyyeds have created, and use to channel funds to the poor, remains highly suspect. Dare one criticize a religious domain, or point the finger of suspicion to it? Will the poor and depraved have benefited from these handouts, when the inflation in Iran is so rampant.
Are Iranians truly going to get "ripped off" even more and do nothing, or have they been enlightened by the greater secular force, and will not vote. Can the Iranian nation discuss mass boycott and non cooperation via blogs? Can a public debate occur where the strength on nil participation be discussed? The Seyyeds know that if a public debate does arise, they will be out. Will the world have this debate?
Or will GWB say something to piss the people of Iran off, and make them vote, just to prove him wrong? It is funny how GWB can actually help the Seyyeds stay in power if he says the wrong things. Why don't the vociferous left wing that brought the Seyyeds to power, and hate GWB, not talk about the non violent regime change that can be made in Iran, via the media.
Why doesn't the world media make it, its responsibility to question the power of the Seyyeds against a mass boycott of all Iranians, and non cooperation in all areas of the Iranian economy that serve the Seyyeds. Why don't the left wing of the world not use Iran as a tool to critisize the US. Why doesn't the world media not show the Iranian people how easy it is to topple the Seyyeds by just talking about it in public.
Think of the lead article in the London Times, or the New York Times, addressing the people of Iran, and presenting a non violent solution to regime change in Iran. What is wrong with that? All it would do is to force the Seyyeds' own newspapers and government spokesmen to react. And their reaction against a mass general strike, where people do not leave their homes is hopeless. The Seyyeds cannot drag 70 millions out of their homes to keep the economy running.
Fact is that the world media does not want to remove the Seyyeds. Fact is that the US and China do not want to remove the Seyyeds. The people of Iran in the satellite TVs do not even talk along these lines. Why doesn't VOA bring this topic up?
It seems I am the only one. Nuts.
