An International Moral Court….

September 28, 2004 - 8:47 am - by Roger L Simon

… met in Paris this week to investigate the crimes of the Iranian Regime. [Shouldn't the World Court do that?-ed. As if.] Here is a preview article, their website and a fascinating report on the event by Ramin Parham. Parham’s article is in a weird way a companion piece to Hitchens‘ below. What happened to the Democratic Party? Why aren’t they in the forefront in dealing with the mullah’s perfidy? Times have certainly changed. It’s no longer surprising to me that I look to NRO for analysis like this.

“BUZZER BEATER” UPDATE: Apropos d’Iran, Belmont Club has yet another superb column. Not only did I learn many things about the mullah’s nukes (some via Carolyn Glick), but I also learned Wretchard follows the NBA from Down Under. I knew he was a man of taste.

    Great minds think alike (they also subscribe to a lot of the same mailing lists – I got that Parham article mailed to me about 4 times this morning). I just paired those two articles in a post. Is this another example of the politics of the last five minutes? Do or say anything no matter the cost to get back into power?

    (Typekey is still screwy, BTW.)

    “We will never forgive our parents for having done this to us with their revolution,” says Ali, staring at nowhere. “My father said once that they did it because they thought they would get free oil at their door step. Can you believe that? Now, people won’t take to the streets anymore. I mean, what for? Every one saw what they did to Zahra Kazemi [a Canadian journalist killed while in the custody of the government in Tehran]. Did the Canadians do anything in outrage? Did the Canadian government take any significant retaliatory step? Every one knows that the mullahs have huge personal savings and investments in Canada. So why should we sacrifice ourselves by defying Lebanese mercenaries in our own neighborhoods? Is the world going to recognize that we exist? Has anyone among the Iranian expatriates supported us? Has any Iranian even come to the refugee camps to see in what miserable conditions we live? We hate the mullahs so much that we could hang every single one of them on every single tree in Tehran, but, so long as we, the Iranians, are only “I” and never “Us” ÔøΩ so long as the West is behind the mullahs ÔøΩ no one will take the matters to the streets any more.”

    I suppose I count as an “Iranian expatriate” though I would never describe myself as such. I don’t support this Ali fella and his ilk, in fact, I wish them ill. It is because I will also never forgive [their] parents for having done this and they for sustaining it. Everyone in Iran now deserves what they are getting. They asked for it, rallied behind it and hoped to benefit from it… TO HELL WITH THEM. (Oh yeah, to hell with Jimmy Carter and the Democrats too, they are complicit in the rise of the Mullahs.)

    I watched the President on O’Reily last night and he said that Iran won’t be getting any nukes.

    We will have to wait and see what this means.
