Khomeini Grandson Asks US to Invade, Occupy Iran

Story here.

Well, not all Iranians think that simply "talking" with the evil Islamic fundamentalist forces currently occupying Iran is going to do any good.

The grandson of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Hossein Khomeini, is calling on the United States to invade and occupy Iran to bring freedom, democracy and the rule of law to the Iranian people.

"Iran will gain real power if freedom and democracy develop there," Khomeini said, adding that if he came to power, one of his first acts would be to make wearing of the Muslim veil optional for Iranian women. "Strength will not be obtained through weapons and the bomb."

As for his call for the U.S. military to occupy his country, he said, "Freedom must come to Iran in any possible way, whether through internal or external developments. If you were a prisoner, what would you do? I want someone to break the prison [doors open]."

So now we know that Iranians are of two schools of thought: those who believe that the current tyrannical, oppressive regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can be removed peacefully or by revolution, and those who believe there must be an overthrow any way necessary.

I would agree with the latter school of thought, for if left alone, the Ahmadinejad regime is more than likely to develop nuclear weapons for use in attacking other nations. And this must be prevented.

Of course, the left will, as a broken record, continue to call for "dialogue and diplomacy", as if one can reason with evil. But never forget that Chamberlain tried and failed with dialogue and diplomacy with Adolf Hitler, getting only a big, fat lie that he wouldn't attack Britain.

The crisis continues to unfold...
