WHEN GEORGE W. Bush rails about the supposed threat of Islamofascism, Iran and its President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are at the top of his list.
The reality, however, is that Iran is far more open politically than, for example, the U.S. government’s main client in the Arab world, Egypt--where a police state runs phony elections and regularly crushes dissent.
Far from a totalitarian fascist state, Iranian society is simmering with political and class conflicts that will erupt again in the future.
If we were smart (we arent) we (the US) would be encouraging those who work for democracy and peace in Iran. BUT, we have to be controlled ourselves and those who repress the Iranians are the same as those who repress change in the United States. THEY are the real fascists.
So como out of your coma and get active, get the facts and do something now.
