In regards to the legal issue of removal of the MEK (the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran) off the US list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO), numerous court rulings in the United Kingdom and the European Union well as the US Federal Court have laid down the legal grounds to delist the MEK. Let’s now consider the moral and political grounds for delisting MEK.
The pre-mediaeval tyranny ruling Iran not only is the No. One Clear and Present Danger to the Iranian nation and its neighbours, it’s the foremost state-sponsor of terrorism globally having used its bought or set-up terrorist outposts throughout the Middle East and beyond to murder thousands of American, British, French and other nations’ citizens and soldiers in terrorist outrages.
Tehran’s role in the 9/11 terrorist barbarity also came to light with the 2004Congressional Report. Furthermore, the Washington Times on July 28th reported that the Obama administration had accused the Iranian regime of entering into a “secret deal” with an Al Qaeda offshoot that provides money and recruits for attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The US Treasury has said exposing the secret agreement would disrupt terrorist operations by shedding light on the Iranian regime’s role as a “critical transit point” for money and extremists reaching Afghanistan and Pakistan. Many reports have also been published by top US military leaders in Iraq of the regime’s active backing of terrorists by all means possible. This dangerously murderous regime is now hastily speeding toward the atomic bomb regardless of the UN and the Security Council’s demands for transparency and non-evasive and non-deceitful co-operation.
Even though it was Iraq who invaded Iran, the founder of the theocratic fascism, the mullah Khomeini, instigated the war against its Western neighbour by its expansionist policies, and was the party which rejected all peace proposals. The regime’s “export of revolution” led to millions of dead and injured on both sides.
What is still not quite grasped, however, is the fact that the Iran tyrant rulers sent hundreds of thousands of innocent but brainwashed Iranians including tens of thousands of children to their death during his expansionist and aggressive operations into Iraq. In addition, this repugnant regime has most barbarically raped, tortured and murdered tens of thousands of democracy activists (mainly members and sympathizers of the MEK).
It’s clear that on legal as well as moral and political grounds, the civilised family of nations cannot afford the dire consequences of the continued and the reckless terrorist designation of the MEK as a first step in freeing the hands of the main organized opposition movement in Iran in its four-decade long struggle to bring democracy and peace to that tortured land and end Tehran’s diabolical nuclear ambitions.
