Ganji against the regime change

I'm glad to see they've allowed Akbar Ganji out. And even more glad that he's not helping the "regime change" activists.

Although his invitation to Yale, where many of Shahriar Ahy's bunch are gathering, including Mohsen sazegara, could be a bit dangerous, especially if he doesn't know enough about them.

Someone should translate Connie Bruck's piece in the New Yorker a few months ago on Iranian Exile and U.S. regime change team and give it to him to read.

i am very sure that the bush-administration has nothing else in mind than to help the iranian people and solve the drug- and prostitution-problem. i am very confident about that, aghrab.

Ganji and the rest of these thugs are all the same. Please don’t make a status of liberty out of Ganji. Instead please go back and really search in his past. Ganji and people like him in Iran are all Pressure Valves to ease the pressure and show the world that : yes there is some level of freedom in Iran. Whoever by any means, justify the existence of this regime in Iran, is in fact worst than this regime. Hossein, you are sitting outside of Iran and in absolute freedom and pleasure. Do you really know how the average people are living in Iran? Do you know the drugs and prostitution are now in primary schools as well? Do you know that in the name of Islam this regime committed murders, rape and other shameful atrocities?

May be the posters that support a Regime change via Usrael's " Shuck & Awe" ala Iraq , should move to Iran and enjoy the bombs and the chaos personaly .

How do you answer that, Hoder? I think you are right essentially that instead of "regime change" (a euphemism for invading, then installing a puppet gov't) there should be evolutionary change. However, how can you support a constitution that doesn't properly seperate church and state? Iran must not be just for Muslim Iranians, but also the Sunni, Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Atheists and Bahai who call Iran home. Note that the latter two have no rights under the constitution and the rest have only subservient rights!

Hopefully, in addition to not allowing himself to be used by the "regime change" advocates (a.k.a. war-monger tools of the Israelis and Neocons who don't give a damn about Iran or democracy) Ganji will also spare us the dramatics of another one of his hunger strikes. Perhaps he's learned that these ploys don't magically create a democracy. But perhaps he still lusts for media coverage and fame.

Why are you so afraid of regime change ? What this regime does have or does provide that others can't ? Whenever i try to think optimisticly of you , you write something adverse. Good luck

What's wrong with a regime change? If the current regime is so wonderful, why are you living in Canada? The current constitution is heavily based on a specific interpretation of religion. Morever forcing one's interpretation of religion on others is morally wrong. This regime's philosophy is to force a select few's interpretation of Islam on others, and torture and oppress all who stand in their way. A new consitition is a in effect a regime change.
