I’ve been getting a lot of emails lately from Iranian students and bloggers, explaining they are not in agreement with Ahmadinejad and that the vast majority of Iranian people are ordinary citizens whose aspirations for peace and harmony are similar to those we aim to advance on behalf of the Israeli and Palestinian moderates.

I know.

And I agree.

And I respect and support their efforts - and if I had the time would be eager to also be involved in highlighting this fact.

So, for all Iranian readers, please know that when I use the word "Iran" for short-hand, I am referring to the fundamentalist regime whose apocalyptic ideology is not just a burden to the world outside Iran, but even more so to the very citizens they oppress and suppress through primitive monstrosities like jailing and killing political opponents or by preventing women from having full freedoms, or uprooting people from choosing a lifestyle different to that which the Ayatollahs determine all must follow.

The sad fact is that the Iranian regime fosters terrorism to destabilize and divide the people in Iraq, Palestine, Israel, Argentina, Lebanon and elsewhere wherever they can get their hands on.  And they are the enemy that must be isolated, undermined, and brought down - by the Iranian people with the support of the community of nations.
