Blogue sur l'Iran

Hossein Derakhshan est un Iranien vivant à Toronto. Depuis l’an 2000, il opère un blogue sur l’Iran, l’un des plus populaires parmi ceux qui ont émergé pour rendre compte de la situation en Iran. Évidemment, le blogue d’Hossein est interdit en Iran. Nos gauchistes confits dans le dogme et la haine anti-Bush auraient intérêt à lire pourquoi Hossein ne participe jamais aux manifestations contre la guerre en Iran.

Anti-war or pro-Khamenei?
April 19, 2006

Many of Iranian anti-war activists, for whatever reason, forget one side of the story and only attack the Bush administration. As if the other side, Khamanei, runs the most democratic, transparent and accountable country in the world.

That's why I've never participated in any of these movements who always suspiciously forget to say anything against Khamanei and the current Iranian administration.

Khamanei must ultimately change his behaviour and at best become a symbolic religious leader with as much power as the King of Spain or Queen of Britain. But it doesn't also mean attacking Iran by the least transparent and accountable administration in the American contemporary history has the right to topple Khamanei.

This is complicated situation a lot of us are in these days. But we just have no choice at being as much anti-Khamanei as we are anti-Bush.
