Free Iran ... At Last! Thankfully, They Don't Have, Yet, The Nuclear Capability
31 December 2017By Dr. Khaled M. Batarfi
IF I were an Iranian leader, I wouldn't sleep these days. All my well-kept
schemes are exposed. My worst crimes are unearthed. My allies and agents are
condemned. My secret closet is searched and every bone of my victims is found.
The court of law is in order. Every shred of evidence is presented. My lawyers
are overwhelmed and powerless. It is a matter of days before the jury and
judge to decide my fate. Most likely, I would be found guilty as charged and
hanged.
All the above is public knowledge, now, but what no one is telling me, is what
is my punishment. Would it be harsh or too harsh. How is the execution going
to be — quick or painfully slow? One thing is too clear to be ignored—All the
signs point to the present, not the future. If I could just peek through the
keyhole into what is being discussed behind closed doors, maybe I could do
better facing it!
That is what any Iranian leader should feel these days, and I would have felt
sorry for them, except they don't deserve any sympathy. The clergy,
politicians and generals knew exactly what they were doing. They killed their
own people — 30,000 of them by just one executive order, by late Ayatollah
Khomeini. Then his holiness gave millions of soldiers (including children) his
blessings and "keys to paradise", and sent them to the heavily mined, killing
zones, at Iraq's borders.
The next "Ayatollah Hitler" Ali Khamaeni, continued to wage wars on his
neighbors, using Arabs to kill Arabs, with help from Afghanis, Pakistanis and
Iranians. His religiously enslaved armies have killed half a million Syrians,
plus Yemeni, Lebanese, Iraqis, Somalis and others. To finance his conquests,
he allowed his slaves to grow hashish and opium, produce drugs, trade in
weapons, launder money... you name it!
And when you think it can't get worse for Iranian people, it does! Instead of
enjoying the treasures of their ultra rich land, one third of the population
is under poverty line. Their oil, agriculture, industry, tourism and other
sources of income are wasted on expansion wars, terror sponsorship, and
foreign militias. They still live on the infrastructure the late Shahs had
built for them, during the best part of last century. Since the revolution,
even that was not well maintained and kept. Democracy, too, was lost.
The mullahs have enforced their theology on everything from politics to
systems; economy to education; judiciary to military. The Supreme Leader is
the representative of God on earth, and the deputy of the absent Imam, who
escaped, as a child, into a tunnel, and stayed there for 1,000 years, waiting
for the right moment to reappear. Till then, his holy deputy rules in his
name. He makes no mistakes. Defying him is like defying God, all twelve imams,
and the Absent One! His is the ultimate and absolute power, no emperors or
kings, not even prophets had acquired.
So what is next? I believe that such mindsets would only understand pure
force. No diplomacy, no negotiations, no trade would work with them. Hitler
had to be bombarded to death. Khomeini had to reach the brink of total
collapse to accept UN peace resolutions and end the 8-year war with Iraq.
Khamaeni would need to see death with his own eyes before he could give up his
caliphate and empire dreams.
What about their ballistic missiles one may ask? I would say that like North
Korea, Iran does have an arsenal of ballistic missiles, capable of reaching
every European capital, including Paris, London, Berlin and Rome. In fact,
that is exactly why we all should join the alliance the US is building to face
this danger. Madmen in Tehran are already boasting and threatening Europe with
termination. Thankfully, they don't have, yet, the nuclear capability. If we
wait longer it might just be too late.
US President Donald Trump may have his share of mistakes, atop them his
recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of the Zionist state. However,
regarding the Iranian danger, he is absolutely right. Former US President
Barak Obama made a catastrophic miscalculation when he thought the Iranian
regime may ever change from within. It was enough to read their constitution,
analyze their system of government and follow their pattern of action, to see
that they mean what they say and say what they mean — total domination of the
Muslim world. If that was not of concern to Obama, he should have, at least,
read their lips and reflected on their track record with America. Isn't enough
to understand their true self to check on their friends and allies—Daesh (the
so-called IS), Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Houthis, and company?
If Obama had it all wrong, the world should not! Iran must be free for
Iranians to live in peace with their neighbors, the world, and most
importantly, with themselves!
