Ahmadinejad is no opposition for Iranian Opposition

Why should the Iranian Opposition worry about Ahmadinejad, who with all his knowledge and big mouth cannot control Iranian drivers.

"The president is uniquely qualified to comment. Mr Ahmadinejad has a PhD in traffic management."

The Iranian people have to learn not to worry about the Islamist Fascists. If they had any power they would act in Iran. They are powerless and the Iranian traffic is a testimony to that. Our weakness is in a fragmented Opposition, and nothing else.

Dialogue with the Islamist Fascists in Iran

The Liberals of this world want GW Bush to talk to Islamist Fascists. Why can't Iranians take care of their own affairs?

I would advise the new members of Congress to change the philosophy of the Bush administration. Instead of finger pointing and pointless ideological arguments about the 'Axis of Evil,' they should start negotiating and engage North Korea and Iran.

Which member of the Iranian Opposition would open a debate with the Islamist Fascists?

If a dialogue opened, and the false arguments of the Islamist Fascists were shown in public, then they would look a lot weaker.

Iran: revolution from below?

"A friend who has made a small fortune in the pharmaceutical business told me that recently that the enforcers of Islamist law appeared on the roof of his condominium in the northwest Tehran suburb of Sharak-e-Qarb to seize all the satellite dishes. Every household received an order to attend a hearing of the revolutionary court, where the magistrate--typically a mullah--will levy fines. The fines help feed the friends of the courts, while for my wealthy pharmacist friend, erecting another satellite dish is as easy as refueling his car...

'I can afford yearly two or three months' vacation in Dubai, Europe or even America,' my friend said. 'Why should I bother to organize a protest against seizing our satellite dishes? We may be forfeiting our freedoms, as you say, but when the price of avoiding the authorities is so affordable, why would we risk everything to take on the regime? We have to wait until society itself is disillusioned, and the masses open their eyes.'"

Fouladvand: An example of an Iranian "hero"

An Iranian called Mr Fouladvand wants to fight the Islamists in Iran and does not care to give his life and be a hero. In the name of non violence this cannot be right. It is such a shame to have people who want to sacrifice themselves and become heros. It only sets the precedent for more violence. As a believer in non violence this action cannot be condoned, however "brave" it looks. We Iranians must unite against such temptation against violent ones. Violence begets more violence. Mass peaceful unified General Strike is more powerful than one person's ambitions.

Iranian Opposition salutes the Iranian Newspapers

Let all the Iranian Opposition salute the subtle, yet effective actions by the Iranian newspapers.

"Iranian newspapers reported the results of the competition Thursday, but gave it no significant coverage. Not one paper printed the winning cartoon."

It really shows how there is now a ground swell beginning to form against this murderous regime in Iran.

Call for a coalition in Iran's Opposition against possible war

With the Russians now the black sheep of the family of civilized nations, what will the Iranian Opposition do? The US will use this opportunity to bypass the UN and escalate matters?

"Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Segrey Kislyak officially declared that Moscow will not second the motion on the European draft resolution the way it is now, Interfax news agency reported Friday."

May be they could get together, and create an alternative coalition in exile? Is it too much to ask? Are we Iranians that disorganized, that in such troubled times, none of us can put our petty differences aside, and become a civilized alternative to the present blood thirsty warmongering Islamist Fascists ruling Iran?

Why can't we all teach Iranians to behave like India and get rid of the aliens through non violent General Strikes. We just need to talk about it. That way we will win the argument, and guarantee a Good future for Iranians; like they had many thousands of years ago, when Iran was the mother of Human Rights.

Asylum is granted to Iranian dissident

An Iranian man who had been living in Japan illegally and was engaged in activities opposing the government in Tehran was granted refugee status Tuesday by the Tokyo District Court.

The ruling nullified decisions made in 2002 by the justice minister to reject the man's request for asylum and by immigration authorities to deport him. The man, 38, is a member of Iran's communist party.

"The man has been actively participating in activities against the Iranian government in Japan and there is a danger of persecution if he returns to his country," said presiding Judge Toshihiko Tsuruoka. "Decisions such as not recognizing the man as a refugee are illegal."

Is Attacking Iran a Viable Option?

What has the Iranian Opposition have to say about these various scenarios?

According to a war game organized by The Atlantic with the help of retired air force colonel and specialist in the field Sam Gardiner, which simulated preparations for an assault on Iran by the next American administration be it Republican or Democrat, such an assault could involve any or all of three separate strategies: (1) a punitive raid on key Revolutionary Guard units to retaliate for Iranian actions in Iraq and elsewhere, (2) a pre-emptive strike on all possible nuclear facilities or (3) the forceful removal of the Mullah regime from Tehran in a regime change operation.
