Senator Lieberman, a front for the Israeli Lobby, called the program “loudly heard and appreciated within the Iranian dissident community.” The past experience of our government should have demonstrated that such interference in the affairs of another nation would create greater hostilities. One of the objectives of the Lobby has been to create greater hostility between Iran and our government. Also, it must be obvious that any Iranian accepting money from our American administration to create trouble for Iran would be considered a traitor, a spy and at least would be shunned by Iranians. Would we react differently if anyone of us would accept money from a foreign country for the purpose of creating unrest within the United States?
In the jargon of the present administration of the United States, any government friendly to Israel and subservient to our American foreign policy and providing us with cheap natural resources is a friend of the United States.
What is “democracy promotion in Iran”? One definition of democracy would be a country managed by a representative government elected under the principle of “one man one vote”. Under this definition, Iran is democratic country; the Iranian president and the representative of government are elected by the Iranian people. During the last elections more of the eligible Iranians voted than in our own elections. Why are we so concern about Iran? We have too many problems at home to deal with, including education, healthcare and deteriorating infrastructures.
