Not least the news of large scale organised American support for Mirhossein Mousavi the defeated Iranian presidential candidate. Notably Mr Mousavi served as the Islamic Republic\u2019s Prime Minister in the early years of the Islamic Republic when the same Americans were calling him the henchman of Ayatollah Khomeini, etc.<\/p>\n<p>It is widely believed that this support for Mirhosein Mousavi under the banner of a so-called \u201cgreen revolution\u201d has been part of a failed coup orchestrated by the regime change advocates who intended to bring a puppet Middle Eastern style \u201cPresident\u201d to rule Iran. If this had happened, President Obama would be able to make his next message to the Moslem World under the new Iranian flag rather than under the Egyptian flag alongside \u201cPresident\u201d Mobarak. But it did not happen and perhaps it could not happen taking into consideration obvious facts on the ground, which have been ignored by the USA for the last 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>There are, of course, others who simply believe that the hugely expensive and costly support of the US Government for the \u201cgreen revolution of the people of Iran\u201d is down to the commitment of the US Government to bringing DEMOCRACY and HUMAN RIGHTS (yes I am talking about the US of A) to countries across the globe. Whichever way you may look at it, I am sure you would agree that the most hilarious, and at the same time, sad position has been that taken by American law makers who advocate support for the same terrorists who have killed American servicemen.<\/p>\n<p>On the occasion of American Independence Day, let us remember the people who lost their lives for their country and wonder at those people who stand today under the same flag only to LOBBY for the murderers of their servicemen.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;\u2026 At a Capitol Hill press conference on June 26th, Rep. Bob Filner (D-CA), chairman of the House Veterans\u2019 Affairs Committee, declared the U.S. should explicitly side with Iranian&#8221;resistance groups&#8221;, including the MEK, which he described as a&#8221;democratic, non-nuclear, secular group fighting for freedom for all the people in Iran.&#8221;The U.S. State Department notes that the MEK&#8221;advocates the violent overthrow of the Iranian regime and was responsible for the assassination of several U.S. military personnel and civilians in the 1970\u2019s,&#8221;and that the group maintains&#8221;the capacity and will to commit terrorist acts in Europe, the Middle East, the United States, Canada, and beyond \u2026&#8221;<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/iran-interlink.org\/?mod=view&amp;id=6613 <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;\u2026 Lewis Lee Hawkins, the only son of Herman and Mary Webster Hawkins, was born in Chicago, Illinois on 8 August 1930. Herman and Mary would eventually move and raise their family in Plymouth, Indiana\u2026 His final assignment came in July 1972 when he was attached to the U.S. Military Assistance Advisory Group to the Imperial Iranian Armed Forces in Tehran, Iran. Annette and Lee joined Lewis in Tehran where they lived in the Abass-Abad neighborhood. On the morning of 2 June 1973, as Lewis was walking from his home to a street corner to be picked up by his driver, two terrorists riding a motorcycle fired at point-blank range and fired two or three shots killing Lewis instantly. Lewis was survived by his wife Annette; three sons, Terry, Ronald, and Lee; his parents, Herman and Mary Hawkins of Rowan, Iowa; and two sisters Mary Duran of Plymouth and Mona Crocker of Belmond, Iowa. His daughter preceded him in death\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>large scale organised American support for Mirhossein Mousavi..
