The instrument of their destruction is democratic revolution, not war, and the first salvo in the political battle of Iran is national referendum. Let the Iranian people express their desires in the simplest way possible: “Do you want an Islamic republic?” Send Lech Walesa and Vaclav Havel to supervise the vote. Let the contending parties compete openly and freely, let newspapers publish, let radios and televisions broadcast, fully supported by the free nations. If the mullahs accept this gauntlet, I have every confidence that Iran will be on the path to freedom within months. If, fearing a massive rejection from their own people, the tyrants of Tehran reject a free referendum and reassert their repression [which they most certainly would do --kk], then the free nations will know it is time to deploy the full panoply of pressure to enable the Iranians to gain their freedom.The time is now. Faster, please.
LGF and Roger L Simon want to spread the idea. I’m all for it. MommaBear and I have been behind it for years. Not that it’s gotten anywhere. But no harm in trying again. Referendum for Iran!

There is an on-line petition that people can sign, even if they are not Iranian or are Iranians living elsewhere, to show support for those still suffering in Iran. MB will try to find it as soon as possible.
