Mr. Pipes, you have commented on a problem that we have had in the middle east for the past 56 years.

And in 1979 the theocracy in Iran led by Khomeini has added to that problem. For the past 25 years the ayatollahs in Tehran have been playing with words to brainwash Iranians to believe that Israel is the main enemy in the region.

Today my fellow Iranian youth that come to the United States are anti-American and anti-Israel. They cannot help it because they have been brainwashed since elementary school to hate the State of Israel and the United States.

The Arab public is also the victim of words used in their media. Today the theocratic regime in Tehran has launched its own self-advertising by launching a satelite news station controlled by Khatami, Rafsanjani, and Khamenei to brainwash the Arabs, especially the Shiits in Iraq and get them closer to their ideology of hatred and terrorist actvities in Syria, Israel, Lebanon, Sudan, Iraq, and many other places that Hezbullah can bring havoc.

We are on the right side of history and they know it. After Iran is liberated, the Arabs will lay down their arms and think twice to mess with the United States and Israe.
