I dont care about NIAC..but if u believe in a peaceful world(where all countries deserve that), there is no such a thing as "granting military immunity". Border immunity of country A shouldnt concern country B. I mean no country is better or should feel the authority to "grant" another country "immunity" or not!
Only hawkish businessmen like G.W.Bush and alikes use this term to justify their war attempts..
Nilou Jaan - in a perfect world you are of-course right .......but if I am Lybian who has rebbled against Moamar Ghadafi or an Iranian who has rebbled gainst IR - and I see my own country's planes (controlled by my own government) bombing me and others like me...while I have only firecrackers......then I thank god there are still countries like France, Germany and USA, and hawkish people like Sarcuzzi to save the righteous. This is not a perfect world we live in.......also, what if your child was in an IR jail....would'nt you then endorse ANY action ahainst the barbarians - from anywhere? again - it's a wild world - and everyone including UN takes payouts. Thank god there are still people that do the right thing - and I don't mean Bush - he did not.
Shahin jan - damet garm - did it in 2 steps!!
but don't you see - he succeeded to change the topic of discussion to NIAC!!! He will change to Bush after that. lol
but since I brought up NIAC as a side-note, then here is a response to you.
You tackled NIAC from a perfect angle......Just up to a couple of Years ago - when asked the question, Trita Parsi is on record having said: NIAC is not a human rights activity organzation..........
I am sure if you reach deep - you can find something SOMEWAHT positive in NIAC's records which may have indirectly benefited us, Iranian Americans.....myself, have not found it yet but let's give them the benefit......What is easy about NIAC is the long list of activities IR loves......as you pointed out a couple. Let's also not forget the ton of e-mails and other court documentations on contacts between Parsi and IR officials....
On a lighter side of Trita Tazi......the first thing that comes to any inquisitive Iranian/American mind is where did this guy come from?.....and the first thing one notices is the fact that serving as the non elected president!! of Iranian/Americans - the guy is neither Iranian nor American. He is on record saying his family left Iran when he was 4!! Even if we believe him that makes him an Iranian remotely familiar with Iran and Iranians.....As for being American....until last I know he was not a citizen....he will be...just not yet.
Even on a lighter side, is his name.....There is a theory that it is a name which was created to sound Iranian Nationalist....and it does. This is one theory that can be shut down very easy.......all Trita has to do is to provide the doubters info on his elementary and high school. But upon being confronted several times.....he has had no responses!!! How hard is it to add your early schooling to your resume? unless - you attended elementary school is Kwait under a different name !!! lol
