That was when the enemy was the Soviet Union, who had agents around the world commited to advancing their 'constitutional' principle of world-wide revolt and empire. We've often heard the motto 'we fight small wars to prevent big ones', but back then, we fought the Vietnam and Korean Wars to prevent Global Thermonuclear War. That was what was at risk, and despite the blood, guts, torture, and terror and horror of the secret wars and dissapearances of those time, backing murderous, evil thugs like Pinochet and morons like the Shah, we prevented global Soviet takeover. The Iranians and others love to talk about 'new colonialism', but the 'empire' there means Western cultural influence in non-western cultures (music, movies, daisy-duke shorts, free-thinking lesbians) AND the asymmetry of global capitalism (our companies have rocked for a century, so they're hard to compete with). Soviet Imperium would've mean ACTUAL EMPIRE, razing mosques synagoges and churches, executing cities, and slave-labour. <br />So was Pinochet a monster, is South America completely fucked up now because of what we did? Does the Islamic Republic suck? Did the TWO Iraq wars suck? Is the torturing-to-death of CHILDREN in Syria as the (Baathist) regime ensures regime survival a horrific nightmare? Absolutely. And its our fault, and its better than a uni-polar Soviet World, by a long-fucking-shot.<br /><br />Is the Islamic Republic the Soviet Union? No. Should we be doing anything other than putting bullets in the heads of MeKers encamped at Ashraf, probably not. <br /><br />Whats the MOST MeK could do for us? ADD to the organizational ability of the Green Movement and sabotage /some/ projects in Iran. In the event of an all out war, are they going to be able to do for US what Iranian proxies in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine-abad-alam-astan do for them? No.<br /><br />Paradrop a group of Green Berets in the middle of the country and you'll get more out of it than supporting MeK. We GOT the Islamic Republic as blowback for the Great Anti-Soviet Project, we do NOT need to resort to the same tactics for what is, under reasoned consideration, probably only a REGIONAL enemy. ESPECIALLY when the proxies are unpopular, marxist, islamist, terrorists. THe Iranians are a LOT better at propaganda than us, they ALREADY crushed the Green revolt by saying that MeK was involved, and now we want to actually make them a proxy? <br /><br />Also, anyone notice the Irony of using Marxists to take down the 'fallout' of our Super-War against the Marxists? Will we be siding with Salafists and Taliban in the War against the Martians?<br /><br />Um, yeah, and Operation Great Batman? OK, that's awesome, they get credit for that at least.Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802843636373254323noreply@blogger.com
