You try to answer a non-question again. What I said was that
"MKO was ready to fight ...". I do not say that they really did
it. Even the Iraqi army had no real chance to do it really.
(It shows how empty such anti-imperialist shouts are. This is used
by dictators to keep people busy with non-real problems).
But what I said was that "MKO was ready to ....". There is
a big different between these two things. But my source, if
my memory is not failing, I read that news in "Keihan London". I
think that it was Maryam Rajavi who stated that the whole Mojahedin
army was ready to help brother Saddam ... or something like 
that. Please correct me if I am wrong, or if Maryam did not say anything
about that issue or if you think that Keihan has quoted incorrectly...

But why I believed that news?
I should not believe it if someone says that Mojahedin was
ready to help Panama or some other country against US. You can
use some imagination and guess why I did believed that news from
"Keihan London". I do not really mean that Mojahedin really love
Saddam or they are born to be his spies or things like that. But It
is not easy to believe that a dictator like Saddam who has murdered
a lot of his own people and 100 thousands of Iranians (civilian and
soldiers) a man who is really an anti Iranian racist may let
Mojahedin to work without any pressure. Especially
now after the Iraq-Iran war, one can not state that "We have common
interests with Iraq to end the war." I, who do not really think that
Mojahedin are spies of Iraq, can not imagine any common interest
between Iraq and Mojahedin. Why should Saddam lets them to operate
from his country if he do not use them as a pressure factor. I repeat
again that I do not mean that Mojahedin intend to be a pressure factor.
They have the intention to get the power and after that, they relation
of Iran and Iraq can continue to be as bad as after Khomeini's comeback
to Iran.

Please explain this a little more. I did not understand it.

All right, a democratic Iran is good for Iran. But do not forget that
the issue of being democrat is not only a feeling. This character must
be appear in the relation with others people and other idea's and
especially critical idea's. If one is really democrat, then other
people should realize that.
As an example I think that Mojahedin have good discipline. No
one (not friend and not enemy) has said something against it. But
it is not so easy to say that Mojahedin are a democratic power, no
one except Mojahedin will accept it.

I am afraid that an organization which uses verbal violence against
critical people already before it has got the power, will use
nonverbal violence after getting the power.
