I remember the early days of khatami in middle of 90s when many of us in our early 20s thought this regime in reformable by peaceful protest.
I had a friend who was at University of Tehran on the day that Basiji people attacked it and was protesting and ...
Fast forward almost 15 years later and after the events of three years ago and ...
I think the ONLY way left to to treat these animals is what these people did in NYC.
I know some friends are still stuck on that peaceful , eventual, evolutionary ideology and think evolution will bring democracy to Iran eventually.
To me, they are either too young ( were 10 or 11 fifteen years ago) or have financial incentives that benefits from the current status in Iran.
Lets just say, life is not too bad when they can freely travel to Iran, have their businesses operate in both side of the waters and spend dollar bills in Tehran.
In the mean time, they encourage the victims of this regime, the ones who lost loved ones, the ones who lost their lively hoods and have family members in and out of prison for years now, to be patient.
Evolution will eventually take care of this regime.
Now will what we saw in NYC bring the Democracy to Iran ? Probably NOT But Will peaceful demonstrations bring democracy to Iran either ?? Heck NO.
So lets at least make these animals' lives miserable in their trips to West and Europe the way they made the lives of our loved one's miserable for past 34 years.
