RE: IRAN

Look, I’ve been being told for teh past 3 decades or so that the “youth in Iran really really likes the west. That the academics really really like our culture, hate the mullahs and are working for their overthrow by fostering unrest with the young”

3 decades,,,, 3! And NOTHING has changed there. Mush like China any “rebellion” will be quickly and quietly squashed by the military who are behlden to the mullahs. And like China the only way changes will be made is if the mullahs decided to open up the country for international and/ or American companies to set up shops there for cheap labor, and seeing China, India et al already have that market cornered, IT AIN’T HAPPNIN!

Nothing has changed correct nothing will change…..

1) The “fearful, fatalistic, apathy” of the Inshallah culture of Islam is deeply rooted. It presents a large block to taking action. To overcome that they need the following.

2) The youths need to see a way of achieving success, not ending up against a wall or at the end of the rope. Such success can only come with strong support for internal regime change from the west.

3) The west should be clear and unequivocal in it’s support for regime change both publicly and covertly. The Reagan model used in Poland in the ’80s is a perfect example.
