SET MY PEOPLE FREE

Wall Street Journal
Tue Nov 4 2003

By Reza Pahlavi


The U.S. blessing for the joint trip by the foreign ministers of Britain, France and Germany to Tehran demonstrates a spirit of unity absent in their recent past. It is understandable that the specter of the foremost state sponsor of terrorism acquiring nuclear weapons should unite the EU and the U.S. in great fear.

But which is the greater component of that fear: Is it the nuclear state or the terrorist regime? In Iran's immediate neighborhood, in one of the least technologically advanced regimes, the Taliban's allies demonstrated that all they need is box cutters to use the free world's own resources against it. Yet nuclear-armed Pakistan is frequently praised as an ally in the war against terror. So it is the character of the regime, rather than the technology it possesses, that constitutes the greater part of the threat.

Then why doesn't the international community come together on the greater part of its fear, and declare its unambiguous opposition to a terrorist regime in such a strategic region? Why doesn't it unite with Iran's people, whose loudly demonstrated wish is to be rid of the only regime in the world whose theocratic constitution specifically rejects popular sovereignty?

Why the double talk from the West? Sometimes it is recognized that Iran is governed by an unelected few. But we also hear that Iran is democratic because it holds elections -- even though unelected cabals veto candidates; more journalists are in jail than in any other country; a self-styled judiciary is accountable to none; and, most importantly, the elected president, now in the second half of his last term, confesses that he never had the power to carry out his mandate.

The explanation may be the belief that the 50 theocrats who rule Iran are thuggish enough to keep Iranians enslaved for years to come, and so the world must content itself with damage limitation and containment. That belief is as wrong as it is cynical, and it is seen as such by my compatriots. It also means living in continuous fear of a catastrophe, possibly delayed by relying on "nuclear fact-finding" in a country four times Iraq's size, with deeper valleys and higher mountains than bin Laden's hideouts.

Even more ominous is Iran's approach to nuclear technology. Whereas with Saddam's paranoid compartmentalization, knowledge developed and resources accessed were confined to a tightly controlled few, Iran has a souk approach. There are mullahs who compete for public slush funds by developing networks for sourcing nuclear material and skills. No one knows who will use these networks in the future, or where and for what purpose. We only know that the theocrats have provided a safe haven and funds for nurturing these and other terror networks. But the world need not live in fear of a nuclear terrorist regime: I have no doubt that if it unites in support of democracy in Iran, it will unleash a popular force that will overwhelm the theocrats and sweep away their terrorist regime.

Superb points, we support Prince Reza statements completely. We condemn Mr. Jack, and Armitage State Dept. team insulting freedom loving Iranian people in US Senate. If president Bush don't take action to clean State Dept. then he should not expect to be elected next year and we will not support him.

We expect that President Bush honor his words and Statements regrding Iran and do not listen to Mr. Jack and State Dept. team who has not done a good job in past 30 years, if State Dept. knew what it was doing the Sept. 11 would not have happened, hope one day all aspects of Sept 11 failures will be investigated by Justice Dept. blaming FBI is not fair it is just a sacpegoat for State Dept. and other politicians failures who never take any responsibility and always blame police and security forces.
In the case of Iran the action does not need to be military action.

Where is the action regarding the following statements by President Bush?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) "And secondly, I appreciate those courageous souls who speak out for freedom in Iran. They need to know America stands squarely by their side. And I would urge the Iranian administration to treat them with the utmost of respect. "

2) President Bush Praises Iranian Pro-Democracy Protestors KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (Reuters) - President Bush on Sunday praised pro-democracy demonstrators in Iran, calling their protests a positive step toward freedom.
"This is the beginning of people expressing themselves toward a free Iran which I think is positive," President Bush said.

"I think that freedom is a powerful incentive," Bush told reporters after he attended church services during a weekend visit to Kennebunkport. "I believe that some day freedom will prevail everywhere because freedom is a powerful drive."

3) Remarks by National Security Advisor Dr. Condoleezza Rice at Town Hall Los Angeles June 12, 2003
"And so for the United States we have to stand with the aspirations of the Iranian people, which have been clearly expressed."

4) Remarks by the President Bush May 9, 2003 "And in Iran, the desire for freedom is stirring. In the face of harsh repression, Iranians are courageously speaking out for democracy and the rule of law and human rights. And the United States strongly supports their aspirations for freedom. "(Applause.)

5) President Bush State of the Union January 28, 2003 "Different threats require different strategies. In Iran, we continue to see a government that represses its people, pursues weapons of mass destruction, and supports terror. We also see Iranian citizens risking intimidation and death as they speak out for liberty and human rights and democracy. Iranians, like all people, have a right to choose their own government and determine their own destiny -- and the United States supports their aspirations to live in freedom. "(Applause.)


Please clean State Dept. and support Regime Change In Iran.

I cannot understand that so many of both the exiles and the iranians living in Iran still are relying on Reza pahlavi to come and save them. Why not look at the truth? The truth is that this man is a son of a dictator who prisoned his own compatriots and killed them because he was a hardline dictator. He was overthrown by the people only to be succeded by even worse scum. Now, people who want FREDOOM rely on this mans son, a man who has lived in the United States for the last 20 years, sittong on the money his father stole from the country, and practically doing nothing. People need to become realistic about the situation. This man is weak and has changed his viewpoint on some important issues many times the last couple of years. First, he was to become the next Shah. After a couple of years, he was to become a "constitutional monarch", only to "serve" the people as a symbol on the throne. Now, he say he wants to settle down in Iran and live as an ordinary citizen.
Then of course, I understand that most people shouting for Reza are nostalgic about the old times, because how bad the Shahs empire wa,s it absolutley cannot be compared to the situation today, of course.
But it is time ro realize that the time of dictatorships must be over, wether is a Shah or a Velayate Fagih.
The people must think about themseleves and their freedom and the future of Iran, not running after old icons all the time!

You make some interesting points, however - what do you suggest? Reza Pahlavi is not suggesting what type of government should be in power.. all he is saying is that WE NEED TO UNITE regardless of our political views, etc.. in an effort to get rid of the regime.. Secondly - where the hell are the Iranian leaders from outside Iran.. Who the heck is taking the initiative.. We need someone to stand behind.. someone to lead and organize.. as far as I'm concerned, I haven't seen anyone else take the stage. There were bad things that happened during his father's reign but you cannot even begin to compare any of that to what this regime has done to the Iranian people over the past 20 years.. I would be skeptical of those who said just because this happened with his father, means we cannot trust his son.. That is not true.. I think Reza Pahlavi is a great leader - at least it is someone we can unite behind..

Bakhtiar >The truth is that this man is a son of a dictator who prisoned his own
Bakhtiar > compatriots and killed them because he was a hardline dictator.

The truth is that Prince Reza is a nephew of Reza Shah father of Modern Iran and son of Shah Of Iran and Queen Farah (far superior than Queen of England) who they love Iran and tried their best, and all the historical facts today indicates that they have tried very hard and like all leaders in difficult situation made number of mistakes but their contributions are far greater than their mistakes (e.g No war, Peace, good name and Image for Iran, higher standard of living and …) therefore they deserve our thanks and support.
Yes with wrong advise from Britian FMs and US State Dept. (Armitage, and others), SAVAK (Created by Britain, Israel and US) , Shah approved execution of political prisoners who did not deserve execution and at the same time Shah did not execute Khomeni, Rafsanjani and Khameni (British Secert Agents) who legally deserved execution and were founder of fanatical Terrorist organization (Fadian Islam).
Shah also has approved execution of number Fadian Islam (Hidden British Supported Terrorist Organization for killing modern Iranian progressive Prime Minister) who deserved execution because they killed civilian politicians and they were pure Terrorist gangs. However Shah should not have approved execution of FM Fatemi, Golsorkhi, Jazani and number of other political activists. Probably total number of Political activists who did not deserve to be executed is less than 200 over the period of 40 years however under the British Islamic Clerical Mafia Regime occupation of Iran these evil Clerics executed over 120,000 many of them children under 18 within less than 25 years, over 300 terror in EU countries, public and private torture of over 300,000 with over 3 million exile Iranian and one million war causality.
Anyway I am against execution if I have to vote for it, because we can not return the life of innocents back to them.

Bakhtiar > He was overthrown by the people only to be succeded by even worse scum.

Shah was overthrown by Carter , Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski (From Harvard University), Margaret Thatcher , British secret service who planned and plotted for Islamic Clerical Regime .
Yes they have used Iranian people for overthrowing Shah because of wrong information that it has given to the people , BBC informed Iranian people that Shah has 100,000 political prisoners ….. however after Shah overthrown we have found out the truth that there were less than 1500 political prisoners……


Bakhtiar > Now, people who want FREDOOM rely on this mans son, a man who has lived in the
Bakhtiar > United States for the last 20 years, sittong on the money his father stole from the
Bakhtiar > country, and practically doing nothing.

It is not an easy task when EU ,China, Japan, Soviet Union with blessing of State Dept., (Armitage like….) former US Presidents were helping Islamic Clerical Mafia Regime to stay in power for cheap oil for EU …..
I do not know how much money Prince has or not, but we know he is an Iranian Prince born in Royal family not by his choice and we know who is his mother , father and grand father and as long as Royal Family work hard to free our homeland , they deserve our respect, money and support . Majority of Iranian people think the Pahlavi Royal Family of Iran can take what they need with the people blessing, and today the fact that majority of Iranian people support their Prince Reza and Queen Farah for what ever reasons, it is a good indication that they had given permission to Royal Family to use the money as they wish. Mr. Armitage you have no right to insult prince
Now I think it is also fair to ask the same question from you (Bakhtiar), what have you done in last 20 years for freeing our homeland?


Bakhtiar > People need to become realistic about the situation.
Bakhtiar >The people must think about themseleves and their freedom and the future of Iran, not
Bakhtiar > running after old icons all the time!
Majority of Iranian People are realist and they know the following facts:

In order to eradicate Islamic Terrorism we must learn from our mistakes without any dogma and make a correction to the future foreign policy of USA. Hiding facts about our past politician mistakes or their evil intentions from American people in the name of national interest is against spirit of our brave hero General George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Is Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski graduate of Harvard University with good knowledge of history and Islam and Armitage like State Dept. who served in Iran and EU for dealing with Terrorist regimes are responsible for what happened in Sept 11?
Did Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski know the following facts about Islam or Not ?
"If the books herein are in accord with Islam,
then we don't need them.
If the books herein are not in accord with Islam,
then they are kafir (of the infidel)"
Did Armitage and Powell’s State Dept ignore Saudi Arabian Islamic fanatics , Saudi Arabian Royal family, repressive clerical Mafia regime in Iran, Talban regime and other religious fanatics for too long?
The Second Invasion of Islam was by Khomeni along with British blessing with the goal to plunder Iran's resources. Khomeni and his team of SS Clergymen (Khameni, Rafsanjani, Khatami ....) succeeded with the slogan of freedom, liberty and free oil for all, in deceiving the masses with the help of BBC Farsi. Khomeni's profile (described in detail by Dr. Masud Ansari's Book: 67 Massacre) is very similar to that of Saddam Hussein. Khomeni, the most deceitful British agent would never have been able to deceive the Iranian people without the help and blessing of the complex British and French advisors, as well as their secret services and they are equally responsible for Iran's disaster. As a result of this second invasion by fanatic Islam, over the last two decades, Iran has suffered over 1 million war casualties, the destruction of many cities, thousands of political executions and prisoners, the rape and execution of young girls in prison, the stoning of women, the loss of social freedoms, the theft of billions of dollars by Rafsanjani , SS Clergymen and his terror Mafia gangs, a massive exodus of Iranian refugees throughout the world, the hostage crisis, and the demise of a 200 year old friendship between Iran and US, reducing Iran's status from most advanced developing country with countless contributions to world history not to mention founding the first declaration of human rights, to the ugly International Islamic Terrorist Mafia Support Headquarters! Today, Iranians throughout the world are making their voices heard, from every corner of Iran and from every countries abroad, the Iranian people are telling the world they no longer need Islam and the Mullahs.
The repressive Mafia clerical dictatorship regime in Iran is based on Animal Farm Novel by George Orwell. "We pigs (Islamic Clerical Mafia regime in Iran and their supporters Britian, France, German governments) are brainworkers. The whole management and organization of the farm depend on us. Day and night, we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples." While this swinish brotherhood sells out the revolution, cynically editing the Seven Commandments to excuse their violence and greed, everyone once again left hungry and exhausted, no better off than in the days when humans ran the farm. "
99% of Iranian people are sick and tired of Islamic Mafia regime interfering with every aspect of their life both inside and outside their home and defining their political system. The people of Iran are saying Goodbye to Islam as a system of government, Goodbye to Terror Mafia, Goodbye to Thieves, Goodbye to Hate, Goodbye to the Mullahs of Arabia occupation, Goodbye to Traitors, Goodbye to Enemies of Peace and Harmony among all Civilizations, Goodbye to the British Secret Service Exploitation Machine who are the greatest enemies of developing countries with a recorded 300 years of plotting, plundering and political terror against Iranian freedom lovers and others. British people and their politicians are in the position to force British government and secret societies to open all these files for public education, historian review, British courts and stop such evil acts in future by their government officials and secret societies in the name of their National Interest. This can not happen unless the British public awareness increases.
Some Facts About Dr. Mossadegh and Shah of Iran
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mosaddegh was deeply interested in an honorable settlement of the oil issue. He was skeptical of British readiness to come to an agreement with him, but he welcomed American mediation efforts, and was prepared to accept reasonable solutions. One such scheme was worked out in October-November 1951 with George McGhee, the US Assistant Secretary of State, but was eventually rejected by Anthony Eden, the British Foreign Secretary. But due to the colonialism nature of British government, they could not comprehend and recognize the Iranian rights to own and manage their own oil industry.
The U.S. found itself caught between Iran on the one hand which Americans believed to have legitimate national concerns and on the other hand Britain. The elected liberal democratic government of Dr. Musaddiq was overthrown by the joint British/U.S. sponsored coup of 1953. The British first created division between Dr. Musaddiq and Shah by using Clerics like Kashani and Khomani then made coup against Dr. Musaddiq and created bad name for Shah and 30 years later when Shah become powerful enough the British made a coup against Shah by using Iranian people , Carter and State Dept. fools and supported the long time British terrorist agent Khomani to power and now creating division among Iranians to keep Clerics in power as long as possible.
The true supporter of Dr. Mossadegh, Prince Reza, Freedom fighter of Iran must unite to overthrow Islamic Clerical Regime and send them back to their Mosuqe and forget about the past and think about future.
Mr. Powell, Armitage and State Dept. should ask themselves a simple question, are they supporting American National interest or they are follower Mr. Jack and British Evil Empire interest, Are they follower of George Washington and Thomas Jeffersson or Slave of British queen?
If you are real American soldier you should help Iranian people to free Iran from British Islamic Clerical Mafia Regime and tell Mr. Jack go to hell.
Today the battle line is clear which side are you Mr. Powell and Armitage?
"The regime in Tehran must heed the democratic demands of the Iranian people or lose its last claim to legitimacy," Bush said in a sweeping foreign policy speech. He said Syrian leaders as well as those ousted in Iraq had promised a restoration of ancient glories but instead left "a legacy of torture, oppression, misery and ruin."
Are you (Mr. Powell, Armitage) supporting President Bush view or EU and British Agenda?
Are you supporting Regime Change in Iran now By Free Referendum Under US and UN Supervision or playing EU delay tactic?

"The regime in Tehran must heed the democratic demands of the Iranian people or lose its last claim to legitimacy,"
Reuters - World News
Nov 6, 2003


WASHINGTON - U.S. President George W. Bush on Thursday challenged Iran and Syria and even key U.S. ally Egypt to adopt democracy and broke with past U.S. policy by vowing Washington will not support Arab states that reject liberty.


"The regime in Tehran must heed the democratic demands of the Iranian people or lose its last claim to legitimacy," Bush said in a sweeping foreign policy speech. He said Syrian leaders as well as those ousted in Iraq had promised a restoration of ancient glories but instead left "a legacy of torture, oppression, misery and ruin."

Of Egypt, whose president, Hosni Mubarak, has been a vital Middle East interlocutor for successive U.S. presidents, Bush said: "The great and proud nation of Egypt has shown the way toward peace in the Middle East and now should show the way toward democracy in the Middle East."

The speech was Bush's latest attempt to justify the war in Iraq as necessary to foster democracy in the region at a time when he is under fire for mounting U.S. troop casualties and as anti-Americanism spreads among many Muslims who feel Islam is under attack.

Bush declared a failure of past U.S. policy spanning 60 years in support of governments not devoted to political freedom.

"Sixty years of Western nations excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make us safe, because in the long run stability cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty," Bush said.

He called for democracy throughout the Middle East, praising the tentative steps that are taking places in such nations as Morocco, Bahrain, Kuwait and even Saudi Arabia, whose royal family is firmly in command.

"Are the peoples of the Middle East somehow beyond the reach of liberty? Are millions of men and women and children condemned by history or culture to live in despotism? Are they alone never to know freedom and never even have a choice in the matter? I, for one, do not believe it," Bush said.

Many Thank you Mr. president for communicating the truth with American people, U.S. as only Super Power needs better and more proactive State Dept. and should not follow Europe that they are responsible for two major wars and current mess in Middle East (if Germany has not killed 6 million Jews ....) . UK, France and Germany exploited the Middle East and created all these problems and bad name for U.S. , after the fall of Shah we American Tax Payers paid Billions for security of Persian Gulf Oil for cheap oil going to EU and Japan well fare society, why? if we want to continue as a Super Power and loved by everyone we need to be fair, and should stop unfair practices by EU. Britain is not true friends of U.S. it is just an act. Britain plotted many traps for U.S. in Iran is the best example.

General Colin L. Powell may be a good soldier or a good guy but he is not sophisticated enough to be in charge of a Complex Super Power State Dept. Probably U.S. needs more sophisticated scholar like Mr. Michael Ledeen in charge of State Dept. to provide new direction. The war against terror is not military war, it is a complex war of ideas, and ideology, and the State Dept. has not been very successful. Sept 11 is the best example of such a failure.
The recent statements by Armitage regarding Iran is another good example of how badly State Dept. operates. Today Iranian people are the biggest supporter of U.S. in the middle east and the statements like Armitage pushing our true supporters and friends away from us.
Iranian can not be fooled easily, peace can not be achieved unless we help Iranian people to bring down Islamic Clerical Mafia Regime ASAP.
Mr. Powell and Armitage please resign before you create another disaster.

Part Of Michael Ledeen Article :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
November 03, 2003
National Review Online
Michael Ledeen
http://www.nationalreview.com/ledeen/ledeen200311030801.asp
What are we waiting for?

The two appeasers who run the Senate Foreign Relations Committee — Sens. Richard Lugar and Joe Biden — might have contributed to public enlightenment, and even good policy, if they had asked Armitage why he had failed to obtain Iranian cooperation in the matter of the al Qaeda terrorists. The correct answer is that Iran will never betray al Qaeda leaders, because Iran supports al Qaeda. The mullahs would no more give us Osama's henchmen than they would cut off an arm or a leg. Al Qaeda is part of their enterprise, which is to kill Americans and American friends wherever they can, especially in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But Armitage would probably not have said that. When the Iranians humiliated him by refusing to cooperate in any way, Armitage blamed the debacle on the fact that Pentagon experts had had conversations with Iranians who did not like the regime.

Powell and Armitage, and their buddies at CIA don't like it when other people talk to Iranians, which is easy to understand: State and CIA don't know very much about Iran, and they hate it when they're shown up. What to do? They went for total censorship: They threw a hissyfit and demanded that Rumsfeld order his people to stop doing their jobs. No more talking to Iranians. Only State and CIA should do that.

Incredibly, it was done. As of today, the Pentagon's Iran analysts can only talk to themselves, or to the misnamed intelligence community. Why those famously tough guys, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz, acquiesced to this outrageously stupid demand is hard to comprehend. In effect, they agreed to blind their own eyes and deafen their own ears on the subject of Iran, even though that puts their soldiers and even themselves at mortal risk. As we have seen, existing information is so bad that Wolfowitz was sent to sleep in a deathtrap. So shouldn't they be looking for better, and independent sources of understanding Iranian activities instead of forbidding their people to work on it?

I guess some top official will have to die at the hands of (obviously) Iranian-supported terrorists before the Pentagon is permitted to work on the subject.

Deliberately refusing to know about Iran is an old story for this crowd. If we had intelligence oversight committees worthy of the name there would be hearings to ask, inter alia, why Powell (twice) and Tenet (once) ordered the termination of a program about Iranian terrorist activities, even though it saved Americans in Afghanistan. The program had been approved by the National Security Council and carried out by Pentagon experts, risked no American lives, cost only some travel expenses, and yielded terrific results, far beyond anything that the American participants expected.

This question should be asked again and again, by the two chief overseers, Congressman Porter Goss and Senator Pat Roberts: Why did the secretary of state and the director of central intelligence deliberately deprive the U.S. government of information that saved Americans from Iranian-sponsored terrorism?

People who refuse information that saves American lives aren't likely to know very much about plans to assassinate the deputy secretary of defense, or the vice mayor of Baghdad, or leading moderate Iraqi Shiite leaders. Nor are they very likely to know the location of weapons of mass destruction. Indeed, as I personally discovered in September and October, they won't even take a few hours to check out the claim that there's some enriched uranium in Iraq.

They don't want to know about Iran, because if they did, they would be driven to take actions that they do not want to take. They would have to support democratic revolution in Iran, and they prefer to schmooze with the mullahs.

All of which can be briefly and sadly summarized: We don't have a war cabinet, and we are once again giving our enemies time and opportunity to figure out how to kill us.

Faster, anyone?

Now that the regime does not accept free referendum observed by international organizations and reject all peaceful ways of tranferring the power to the people of Iran. What is the next move by U.S.? Will President Bush push for Regime Change Policy with considering the following steps within short period of time:
- Free All Political prisoners.
- Freeze All Assets Of The Regime.
- Discontinue Oil Imports From Iran.
- Expel The Islamic Clerical Regime From the UN.
- Help Iranian people to bring down the Regime.
- If the regime hard core Islamic Guards and Arab mercenaries massacre the people and can not bring down the regime, will US military help unarmed civilians?Close all Iranian ports.
- Anyway 95% of Iranian do not want this Islamic Clerical Regime and asking for seperation of religion and state.

With over million Iranian mosrly elites of Iranian society in U.S. , we have every rights to interfer in response to request from one million Iranian in U.S. if anybody is not sure, take a poll and check the result?
Anyway Prince Reza is legally king of Iran and can be in charge during Regime Change transition period.
Regime Change Now
