#1 It makes me a bit queasy whenever I actually agree with the Iranians viewpoint.

#3 Cojones? LH, Im going to have to respectfully disagree on that assessment. In fact, its another example of how Euroweenies always look to avoid any direct confrontation. Of course, they cant legally orgulpmorally fund an Islamic/Marxist terrorist death Cult with Western blood up to their shoulders now can they. Butheychange the nameget an up to date mission statementand presto all they have to do is pay a legitimate Resistance Group to do all the heavy lifting? Ummmmdidnt work so swell in 98 when Clinton funneled cash to al-Dawa through the SCIRI. But at least they can say they are doingsomething.

#4 Im not as down on the MEK as you are. They havent actually attacked civies in years, unlike Hamas and Hezbo. If Yassir can be an ex-terr, why cant MEK? And they actually are willing to fight the mullahs.

Theyre not Islamist of course, they are Marxists. And yeah, sometimes Marxists can be useful, esp in parts of the ME were they can be used against the Islamists. I mean I wouldnt count on them, but its not like theres lots of good options.

This is mainly about how much are the Euros willing to defer to Iran, more than anything practical. TO take them off the list is to give Iran the middle finger. Its odd seeing the Euros do that.
