| Iranian Regime Worried about Pro-Americanism |
| 2003-04-26 |
| Hat tip to Instapundit for the link. An influential French daily says Iranian officials are worried by the "obvious pro-Americanism sentiments" of "the Iranian people." They are worried about the American presence next to their doors, on the East as well as to the West, worried about the invasion of Iraq "with so little popular resistance," worried about the fast fall of the Baghdad regime, worried about the sidelining of the UN, worried about the total disillusion of the Iranian people that, since the beginning of the Iraqi crisis, has resulted in a fierce pro-Americanism of the population... but, especially, worried about the vox populi, that asks for "a change of the regime with the help of the American marines", the daily "Le Monde" wrote in an article published in its April 25 issue. This demand is taken enough seriously in the political circles so that the resumption of the relations with America –a 24 years-old taboo – has moved forward on the political agenda in Tehran. In a rare interview, Mr. Nabavi, a close adviser to President Khatami, told "Le Monde" that the American strategy for the region "doesn't stop at the doors of Baghdad." According to Mr. Nabavi, there exists in Washington, "an Iran project" that is "in the process of being implemented," a project that is "not necessarily a military one." Bwa-hahahahahaha! Interrogated on the voices calling for "the American interference", Mr. Nabavi declares: "It is obvious that it is the result of our mistake. The fact that people prefer a foreign invasion to living in the Islamic Republic is only the sign of our failure. We have not been able to fulfill the people's democratic aspirations and it is normal that they are disappointed". If one admits that the Iraqis are delighted with Saddam Hoseyn's end, one must also think about the possibility that maybe, the Iranians would celebrate at the end of the Islamic Republic as well". Bwa-hahaha -- oops, already did that! Maybe I can ululate instead? |

| #3 Time for ululation, yes - but remember that while we were sleeping (since 1980) radical Islam has infiltrated/outright conquered many countries. Africa, South-east Asia, the Indian sub-continent, Europe: all of them have nations that have been taken over/infiltrated and the rot is spreading. Still, one part of the supurating pus-filled abscess of Islamofascism seems to be getting a dose of penicillin and for that I am thankful. |

| #2 Time for ululation when they ayatollahs are hanging from their own turbans. It'll come... Just hope it doesn't take too long. |
