You Gotta Be Kidding Me!
Reader comment on article: Unleash the Iranian Opposition[, the Mujahedeen-e Khalq]

Submitted by Caesar Warrington (United States), Jul 11, 2007 at 10:11

During the Iran-Iraq War this group fought for Saddam Hussein. The Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) has the blood of its own people on its hands.

Furthermore, what is the attraction that the United States and Israel have for a bizarre syncretistic outfit like the MEK, who combine Islamist philosophy with Marxist Ideology? Are we going to continue making the same mistakes in this region over and again, always feeling we must choose the "lesser of two evils?"

The Iranian people want nothing to do with this organization - and neither should we.
