->This one confuses me. On the one hand you (and other MKO supporters)
->complain about the economic problem in Iran but on the other you ask for
->the U.S. and other countries to seal off trade and economic assistance
->to Iran!!! I can only surmise from this that you have no friends or

->It would seem that you only complain about these things because it gives
->you political mileage. I see no real concern.

->that the giant doesn't knock your head off in trying to swat the fly.

MKO leadership does not care about Iranians at all. MKO was a very
effective instrument in bringing mollas and akhoonds to the power.
MKO was hot-blooded supporters of many executions of innocent people
in Iran. They have joined the "opposition" ever seen they themselves
had to wait in line to be "executed" and that is their only complaint.
These days they will kiss anybody's hands to either get to the power or
at least, be "considered" as an alternative.  They have simply forgotten
one thing and that is the memory of more than 60 million people in Iran
who remember them for what they are: A Terrorist Group and nothing else.
