Gli ordini di Rockefeller a Obama June 17, 2009
Wall Street Journal
Council on Foreign Relations
First, Mr. Obama should contact Mr. Mousavi to signal his interest in the
situation and Mr. Mousavi's security. Our own experience with dissidents
around the world is that proof of concern by the U.S. government is helpful
and desirable. The administration was wise to send Vice President Joe Biden
to Beirut on the eve of the Lebanese elections, and his presence there
helped galvanize the anti-Hezbollah coalition. Mr. Obama's political capital
in the region has only expanded since his June 4 Cairo address. If Mr.
Mousavi deems talking to the American president not to be politically
helpful, then he can refuse the call. But that should be a judgment for him
to make.
Second, Mr. Obama should deliver another taped message to the Iranian
people. Only this time he should acknowledge the fundamental reality that
the regime lacks the consent of its people to govern, which therefore
necessitates a channel to the "other Iran." He should make it clear that
dissidents and their expatriate emissaries should tell us what they most
need and want from the U.S. This could consist of financial resources,
congresses of reformers, workshops or diplomatic gatherings. The key is to
let the reformers call the shots and indicate how much and what U.S.
assistance they want. Simply knowing we care, that we are willing to deploy
resources and are watching their backs�to the extent we can�often helps
reformers.
The 2004 Orange Revolution in Ukraine is a model. In that case the West
joined Ukrainians in refusing to accept the results of a stolen election.
This combined effort helped to force a final run-off vote that reflected the
people's will. In Iran, this would mean not only redoing elections but also
allowing a full field of candidates to run. As with Ukraine and the Soviet
Union before, Mr. Obama could at least make it clear that the U.S. will
separate the issues of engagement and legitimacy. Our engagement of the
Soviet Union in arms-control talks did not prevent us from successfully
pressing human-rights issues and seeking an alternative political structure.
So it can be with Iran. Engagement without an effort to talk to the "other
Iran" would not only be a travesty but tactically foolish as well.
Third, the president should direct U.S. ambassadors in Europe and the Gulf
to meet with local Iranian anti-regime expatriates. From London to Dubai
there are large Iranian communities throughout Europe and the Persian Gulf.
The symbolism of this would be powerful, but this should be more than just a
photo-op. Expatriates tend to know far more about their countries than even
our intelligence experts�and they could help guide efforts to aid reform.
Fourth, additional funding should be provided immediately for Radio Farda,
an effective Persian-language radio, Internet and satellite property of CIA
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. CIA Farda helps Iranians get the
information and analytical context that is often denied to them by their own
government.
Fifth, the administration should take steps to give Iranian reformers and
dissidents a level playing field with the regime in the battle of ideas.
Just as providing photocopiers and fax machines helped Solidarity dissidents
in communist Poland in the 1980s, today's reformers need access to the Web
and other means of communication. Grants should be given to private groups
to develop and field firewall-busting technology.
Money should be appropriated for an NGO-run "open window" platform that
enables a wide variety of indigenous voices to be carried on radio, blogs,
video clips and other media. This can take the form of satellite and
terrestrial broadcasting and other information tools to provide Iranians
with anonymous communications and access to Internet, television and radio
content that their government attempts to deny them. The president should
also call a White House meeting of the CEOs of Facebook, Twitter, Google and
other video-sharing and social-networking companies. Entrepreneurially
minded high-tech companies can manage this project better than the
government. Many of these CEOs are strong supporters of Mr. Obama; they
should be brought on board to help make his foreign policy succeed. In the
meantime, the president should order the military to make some of its EC-130
"Commando Solo" aircraft, which serve as flying television and radio
stations, available to enable reformers and protest leaders to speak
directly to the Iranian people.
None of this is tantamount to "imposing democracy." All the U.S. would be
doing is signaling to reformers they can count on our support when they want
it and backing up our words with resources. An approach like this would be
consistent with the foreign policies of American presidents of both parties
since Theodore Roosevelt. It is also in line with the message articulated by
Mr. Obama earlier this month in Cairo, when he said that various rights we
possess "are not just American ideas, they are human rights, and that is why
we will support them everywhere."

 and desirable.
Non in questo caso, temo, anzi.  Tutti gli eventi recenti indicano, e
sono stati intesi ad indicare, che i governanti iraniani hanno
rifiutata la possibilita' di riconciliazione cogli americani.
