#2 I have to side with Rendell on this one. There are entities with more American blood on their hands with which we've made peace, including Cambodia, China, Russia and Vietnam. And that's leaving out the Axis powers. Heck, we made peace with the PLO (and are now shoveling 100's of millions in aid at them), Mookie al Sadr's Jaish al Mahdi and are in the process of making peace with the Taliban. It's impractical - and peace-making is all about practicality - to get hung up over the handful of US military advisers killed during the Shah's reign, when each of the three guerrilla movements has killed many more Americans under less defensible circumstances, especially when it's clear that the MEK isn't fundamentally anti-American. In fact, it is reputedly, in the here and now, the most effective anti-mullah movement extant, in terms of the stack of Iranian regime capos killed. |
