Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran

These guys never cease to amaze and inspire me. Notice their press release to the right: they are boycotting the government sponsered anti-war protests.

Heroic Freedom-loving Nation of Iran:

In the hours that the anti-terrorist alliance are at war with the so-called Commander of Ghadesieh behind the fortifications of Basra and in the vicinity of Baghdad, the heads of the illegitimate government of the Islamic Republic, by forgetting the blood-sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of Iranian soldiers and youth who died or became crippled during the eight year war of defending the country, are again trying to display a government made-to-order demonstration in support of Saddam Hossein's regime to prevent his certain overthrow.

The Islamic Republic which has become petrified- on the one hand due to the tightening of the international arena and on the other hand due to the problems associated with the surfacing of its inhumane and illegitimate nature-believes that it has found a good opportunity to take advantage of the humane and peaceful nature of the honorable Iranian nation in order to increase its behind the scenes diplomatic haggling in order to postpone its inevitable destiny of demise by striking a lifesaving deal. The international arena has become more difficult for the regime to traverse following the overthrow of the Taliban religious regime, and the passing, by now, of one week since the beginning of military action against the Baathist regime and thereby its complete surroundedness. Without doubt, the exposure of the illegitimate and inhumane nature of the regime as a result of the widespread relentless struggles of the Iranian nation, which the world witnessed at its peak during the boycott by millions of the staged elections and during the observance of the ancient "Chahar-Shanbe Soori" (Fire Fiest) has forced countries such as America to support the secular liberation movement of the Iranian nation.

Without doubt, pursuant to the dark deeds of the past quarter-century committed by the regime that lays claim to "Ali's Just Governance," the oppressed nation of Iran has well familiar with the fact that this religious ideological-Mafia style regime has never shown mercy to the nation it has oppressed and has strictly abused the calamities of other nations in the region for furthering its backwards political motives in order to add a few days more to its existence.

It is evident that during the very critical hours that the entire region will be undergoing fundamental change at which our Iran is on the path to liberation from the tyranny of a Taliban-likethrough the wise actions of the alert nation who are accomplishing this by only utilizing civil disobedience methods. The "Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran", based upon its historic responsibility and on behalf of the "Third Force" in Iran, calls all fellow countrywomen and countrymen to boycott the false government-sponsored anti-war demonstration and to abstain from showing up in the streets on Friday, March 28, 2003 (Farvardin 8, 1382).

May it be that the boycott of this made-up demonstration at the beginning of the current Iranian New Year will be another milestone in the history-making glorious struggle of the Iranian nation exposing the shaky and collapsing Islamic Republic.


Long Live Freedom!
Established be Secularism!

Can we start a petition to have "Established be Secularism!" put on the dollar? How about right next to "In God We Trust?"
