I have no trouble with struggle against the regime in Iran including an armed struggle when they leave no room for civil struggle.  What I take issue with, when some people expect foreign government to remove the regime and expect a better regime in place that would look after the good of the country and its people.

As for tRump goes, he clearly is in favor of dictators and criminals as a head of government.  Look at his relation with the Saudi BS, Netenya-WHO, Putin, Kim Jon Un or Duterte to name a few.  If Akhoons were smart and gave him a fancy dinner party, he would be their best friend.

Nuke the IRI regime. But, before you do that deport all anti Trump pro Hillary iroonies such as sardabir's nephew, Farzad Fazelabi, Ghamabar Mossavi, et al!

Organized Resistance against the regime...Taking up arms. GOt it chief.

The message will go out tonight. will Report shortly

Are you picking up the gun yourself,  or you just asking other people to do it?   once the armed struggle succeeds in overthrowing this regime, then various groups will start fighting one another then what?  when the armed Kurdish sepratists pour into the cities with no law and order how would you disarm them? when Arab seperatists start taking on non arab groups in Khuzestan, how would you disarm them?  when Kurdhish sepratists and Azari Sepretaist start fighting one another over disputed cities and villages, how would you  disarm them. The list goes on and on.

We went through these kind of scenarios in 1979 (for those of us old enough to remember ), the only thing that saved us last time was the remains of Iranian armed forces along with psycho khomeini who took over and restored the peace with a lot  of blood shell. Sadly this time around that option may not even be available!

Dear Fozoli- I'm torn on this issue. I think that time has come---after 40 years---for Iranians to take decisive action against the IR. At the same time though, as I have always said, I do not believe that the IR will go away easily. For one thing, they have nowhere to go. Even Putin is not stupid enough to take them in. The only place for them to go is [their homeland of] South Lebanon. But that's a dangerous and far journey for them, and there's a good lilihood that they may not make it their for various geographic, political, and military reasons that I don't need to explain. Second, these people have to loyalty to Iran, its people, or its territorial integrity. In addition to their IRGC and Basij they will import tens of thousands of Iraqis, Afghani, Pakistani, South Lebanese, Palestinian, and Syrian thugs and will unleash them on the streets and will re-create the Syrian experience. Third, for the last 40 years, the IR has sufficiently pissed off just about every country in the region that they are all chomping at the bit for some good ol' fashioned payback. Do, they will pour money and weapons into the hands of every separatist group in Iran to create chaos.

So, I really don't see a good way out of this. Either we're stuck with the Mullahmafia forever, or we will eventually end up with a fragmented country.  

Dear Bavafa thanks for you comment but it was irrelevant as the piece is against foregin intervention.

Well MRX, you don't disappoint at least your Estemrar-talab (and I am being polite) position is consistent. Which part of "litany" of excuses don't you understand? As to your first question I used the pronoun "we", which part of that, don't you understand? The questions are rhetorical so no answers are required. As for your 79 analysis it is simply wrong. The people who should have made a stand did not.

Dear AO, we are in the same boat. Increasingly I think it is simply unavoidable, as the history of how civilised nations resolved their civil differences show if there is no accommodation then the unresolvable conflict has to come to the fore till everyone agrees to basic civilised norms for governing the country. This pull and push between reactionary fundamentalist Islam and secularists has been raging for 100+ years in Iran.

Fozoli

I am far from Estemrar talab or is it Estemar talab? I do appologize for not coming to this site every day and advocating bombing of Iran or begging U.S senate for a air tight sanctions, but that being said you asked rhetorical question and I gave a rhetorical answer.  Other than that no skin off my back and good luck with the armed struggle I will watch all the bloodshed on CNN. 

No sir/madam you are one.  Kindly do not comment any further.  Your position is well known to me and I don't give a toss about your injured feeling or your other diversionary tactics ( I have nothing but contempt for your pseudo nationalism and now pseudo humanitarian pretence). Go troll somewhere else.  

Its been much more than 100 years. We’ve been dealing with this backassward culture of Shi’a Islam since the Safavids and the lot of the twisted fucks like Allameh Helli, Mirdamad, Sheikh Bahayee, etc
