Let us see if it is me who has a "very questionable" understanding of 
the MKO or this MKO supporter who doesn't bother himself to ask any
question or read anything except "Nameye MojAhed". Regarding whether
MKO wanted to be "in the forefront of strugle againsg US Imperialism",
or not, I let Mojahedin organization speak for me: 

	"The main opposition [ tazAd] governing the society is the 
	 opposition of Nations [ khalgh hA] with Imperialism, where
	 US Imperialism is its perfected symbol [ mazhare kAmel ].
	 The victory over US Imperialism is possible only and only
	 [ faghat va faghat ] through an armed struggle by people
	 in a long run with this world-eating [ jahAnkhAr]
	 enemy of the people. Our organization is at the forefront of 
	 this strugle with uncompromising principles in this fight."
	              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

	[ from the MKO publication "Sharhe Taasis va tArikhcheye 
	  vaghAye Sazmane Mojahedine Khalgh", Tehran, 1358, p: 43]

Of course, at that time neither the writer of the above firy speach nor
Mr. Rajavi would even guess in their widlest dream that one day they would
be kissing the hands of this "world-eating US Imperialism" and beg for a 
few minutes of TV time !! And of course, we all know how "uncompromising"
those "principles" were  !! Mr. Rajavi was clapping his hands widly when 
thousands of Iranians were being murdered, for those Iranians were not
members of Mojahedins. But when it was Mojahedin's turn to be chased 
down and shot on the spot, suddenly Mr. Rajavi discovered that "hey..this
is not a "democracy" !"..

	bebari mAle mosalmAno cho mAlat bebarand
		dAd o faryAd bar Ari ke mosalmAni nist !

It is interesting to note that, before the first shot was fired against
Mojahedins, our "brave" and "courageous" Mr. Rajavi was the first to run away,
leaving his wife and little son behind and thousands of Mojahedins 
leaderless ! So much for "bravery" and "courage" ! Seems like these two
words, like many other words, have different meanings in Mojahedin's
dictionary.

Now let us investigate this "democracy" that these little Mojaheds are 
promising us all the time. As you all have noticed, not a single one of 
these Mojahede Saghirs explains what they mean by "democracy". We all
simply assume that they "mean" what we "mean" by democracy. Let us 
examine this once and for all. Of course, we don;t expect a simple, straight
answer from any of these little supporters. But why we have to ask them 
when we can go to the top and ask Mr. Rajavi himself. So is this "democracy"
that MKO preaches is the "democracy" that we are all familiar with ?
Mr. Rajavi go ahead please:

	"When we say "republic" and "democracy", we do not mean a 
	 democracy like what West has. In fact, the democracy that we 
	 mean has nothing to do with Western democracy !!!"

	[ Masood Rajavi, in an interview with Liberation Magazine,
	  re-printed from "Irane AzAd", Mehr 4, 1360 ]

Ok !!! I hope there is room for opposition in this "democracy". How
about the minorities ? What will happen to millions of Bahais, Christians,
Jews, Zoroastrians, Sunnis ? What will happen to millions of people who
simply do not believe in MKOs Marxist/Islamic rubishes ? Again, I let
Mr. Rajavi put his foot in his mouth for us:

	"Of course we will have oppositioins. I am not denying it.
	 But we are not Pol Pot to kill our opponents.  We will
	 have to "re-train" these people through Work-Camps [OrdoogAh hAye
	 kAr ] and "re-build" [ bAzsAzi ] them !! So that they won't
	 be ashamed of their views and can live with their conscious !]

	[ Masood Rajavi, in an interview with Washington Post
	  reprinted from "Irane Azad", 4 Mehr 1360 ]

So much for "democracy" ! They "democratically" will put you in their
Concentration Camps ! To further clear any doubts about how much respect
they have for opposing views, Mr. Rajavi continues:

	"Assume there are five neusance flies sitting on a flower. And
	 we [ Mojahedins ] attack and kill one of them. How many flies
	 will be left ? Can you tell ? NONE ! Because when we kill one of
	 them, the rest will run away ! That's exactly what we are doing
	 to these people and that's exactly what we should do !"

	[ Masood Rajavi's speach in Tehran, printed in Kayhan
	  5 KhordAd 1358 ]

Well my friend ! You be the judge. Is it me who has a "questionable"
understanding of MKO or is it you ? But really, don't you ever ask 
yourselves the same questions ? I mean, when you are alone at night,
don't you say to yourself "Hey..I won't admit it publicly, but this
Behnam guy has a point here !".     

The road to future. my friend, is not through these "Work-Camps",
"trusted Army", "re-built and re-trained population" and this 
destructive "lust" for power of Mr. Rajavi and likes of him.  Iran and
Iranians don't have time to "experiment" with yet another "revolutionary"
idea. The road to future is through rebuilding, factories, universities, 
schools, educating the public, compation for each other and love for the 
country.

I rest my case.

To MKO leadership:
"The one who does not know the truth is stupid. The one who knows it and
twists it is a monster"  -Bertolt Brecht

To hard-core MKO supporter who never ask question and blindly follows:
