As you may have noticed, I had to leave the country for an urgent trip to ME. I went to a place that was less than an hour flight to my home town, Shiraz. During my business trip, I was tempted to make a quick (and illegal) trip to Shiraz…so I did. My trip only lasted three days, but what a trip it was.
The only logical way in was flying, but I didn’t have a current Iranian passport so I had to use one of my relatives passport. All I had to do was cover my hair and when the agent looked at my face I looked down like a real shy Muslim woman should do. Their security is so primal that it’s actually quite comical. All you have to do is use words like "brother", "Dear", "janam” (I’m unable to translate this word to English) to throw them off their game so they don’t concentrate on your face. I kept my trip short in case someone decided to check into my visit. My only purpose of this trip was to say I did it and to prove that these mullahs are nothing but Paper Tigers. They are no different than North Korea's Kim Jong il who’s nuclear bomb plan is the same as Saddam's. They have nothing, their people hate them, and they have corruption within their own dirty groups. I talked to many people, such as doctors, lawyers, housewives, students, mullahs, bazaries, engineers, young people, and old people duringmy three day visit. I spoke with one young man who voted for Ahmadinejad and believed that Iran was on the right track. I also ran into an old friend who believed that the Iranian people deserved someone like Ahmadinejad.
What did I witness?
I witnessed real turmoil in Iran, a country on the verge of change. On one hand, we have Khamenei, his son, and their military arm, The Revolutionary Guard and its Basij branch, who are trying very hard to transform the regime into a Dictatorship and thus, allow Mojtaba to become the next Iran Supreme Leader (even though he does not qualify). On the other hand, Ahmadinejad wants to change Iran into an Islamic Military state. Meanwhile the moderate Mullahs see what is coming at them and trying to side with the Iranian people who are fighting against both camps.
What do I think will happen?
I think in the end, the Iranian people will win this fight, but it will take another couple of years before that happens. Both Ahmadinejad and Khamenei are at the weakest point of their time since they took power. The Islamic Republic has lost its standing with Iranians due to corruption and lies that were forced on the Iranian people for over 30 years. As a result, the idea surrounding Islam is also at the weakest point its ever seen in Iranian Islamic history, which goes back 1400 years. The young yet educated Iranians are turning away from Islam in a great numbers and some are even changing their religion to the ancient Iranian religion, Zoroastrian. During my trip I did not run in to one person that practiced Islam by choice. Few had to do their noon prayers during working hours, but lied about the other four times in which they were not being watched.
My trip conclusion?
Iran will change because Iranians are tired of living a lie which was fed to them by Khomeini 30 years ago. Both Ahmadinejad and Khamenei are unwanted Dictators forcing themselves on Iranians with their arm forces guns and tear gas. Their Nuclear bomb Program is nothing but a page browed from Saddam's imaginary Nuclear Program. They are trying to copy North Korea's
plan through a Tantrum Plan to draw attention and thus, cutting a protection deal from US
and UK for their survival.
What do I suggest?
The same thing I suggested for North Korea….nothing. The Iranian regime has become a Self Eating Watermelon. Do you know what happens when a watermelon rots inside? It will eventually explode and the stench will become apparent to everyone instantly.
