in response to reader comment: correct me if I'm wrong...

It seems also that back in 1979, the MEK not only supported the takeover of the US Embassy in Iran, but also wanted the diplomats executed.

Getting into a conflict with the Iranian mullah-ocracy and supporting the MEK strikes me as a major waste. It would be a costly war, and one which would only make the world safer for one more enemy. The Iranian mullahs and the MEK killing each other is just one more case of two nasty factions eating each other.

And I still believe that every MEK supporter in the USA should be rounded up and deported.
