Path Towards the Legitimization of MEK?
Dick Armey, former House Leader, is now calling for the legitimization of the MEK opposition group against the Iranian regime. http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071204/EDITORIAL/112040004
MEK has already gained a lot of momentum and support in Europe towards their goal of being legitimized as a viable opposition to the regime in Tehran.
Their popular support within Iran amongst Iranians seems to be negative to neutral, at best. But given a choice, the Iranians may again grow to like MEK, especially if MEK starts making some real and physical waves (covert operations with selected targets inside Iran and the Theocratic leadership) against the regime. (In other words, why should all the explosions and assassinations be happening only in Iraq against the Iraqi government?)
Could we be getting ready to be going towards what Dick Armey and a lot of European political elite are now concurring on? Perhaps yes, perhaps no. But at least Armey has a direction and logic to his strategy, which is diagonally opposed to the kind of rudderless Iran policy by Condi and cohorts.
No one is promoting MEK as a democratic alternative opposition here. But right or wrong, it is a breath of fresh air to see that some in Washington actually have a direction in their thoughts and strategies towards Iran as opposed to the hodge-podge Condi-diplomacy. It makes one wish that a decisive, focused, and clear-minded official like Dick Armey was actually in charge of our Iran policy. Oh well.
