April 2012 US supporting terror group
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh, reveals
more of the dark side of our foreign policy in an article in the The New
Yorker entitled "Our Men in Iran?"
Hersh reports that the U.S. Joint Special Operations
Command has been actively engaged in training a shady group of political
radicals, Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, or MEK, at a secret site
in Nevada since 2005. The MEK has been
linked to violent crimes against Americans to the more recent wave of
assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists and is designated a terrorist
organization by the State Department.
Contrary to our public statements of being a beacon for
freedom and democracy, we have perpetuated a cycle of internal chaos and mayhem
inside Iran intensifying anger towards the US and Israel which according to
Hersh is also supporting the MEK. He reiterates that, after exhaustive fact
checking from US and Israeli intelligence, there is absolutely no evidence that
Iran is engaged in making nuclear weapons.
There is little doubt that ordinary Iranians will rally around their
leadership, which they may regard with utter revulsion - as a direct
consequence to our economic sanctions and covert operations. How long are the
American people going to tolerate and support these insane policies with their
prolonged silence?
It is time we stopped violating the sanctity of other
nations and interfering in their internal affairs and halted the constant
threats and drumbeat of war.
