        fellow Iranians, Amil
        Imani
 The anniversary of the 18 Tir, the Iranian Students National Uprising,
        is once again upon us. The 18th of Tir (July 8th) has become a symbolic
        struggle and resistance against the tyrannical, totalitarian and
        barbaric regime of the Islamic Republic. Our very brave and courageous
        freedom lovers have been challenging the very fabric of the foreign
        occupiers of the Iranian nation. Iranian people have demanded a total
        annihilation of this Totalitarian State of Islamic Barbarity and Terror,
        which lacks even the most basic human compassion and human rights.
 
 The Iranian people, after their centuries long struggle which resulted
        in throwing out many foreign mercenaries, will throw these new and
        unwanted fundamentalist Islamic thugs right into the 'trash basket' of
        history very soon.
 
 The flowers of victory will once again blossom and the celebration of
        life over the celebration of death will begin. But until then, we
        must struggle against fanaticism with all our strength. We must end
        poverty, ignorance, disease and the inequality of opportunity. We must
        pledge our dedication to the service of Iran and her people and to the
        still larger cause of humanity.
 
 I call upon the honorable people of Iran to stand tall and start to
        build the noble mansion of a free Iran where all her children may
        dwell in freedom and equality. Iranian people must become masters of
        their own destiny.
 
 The events of 18 Tir have created a bitter taste toward the Islamic
        foreign oppressors. The Persian people have been struggling to
        obliterate these desperate and opportunistic parasites from their
        land. This can only happen when we have the full support of all
        Iranians. This can happen only when we set aside dedicated time
        and resources for the destruction of this merciless, despotic, alien
        regime and the establishment of a free, independent sovereign United
        States of Iran/Persia.
 
 My fellow Persians, A. D. Benoist said, “The highest measure of
        democracy is neither the 'extent of freedom' nor the 'extent of
        equality', but rather the highest measure of participation."  We
        need you to make time to come out and participate in these gatherings
        over and over again. “Democracy is not something you believe in or
        a place to hang your hat, but it's something you do. You participate. If
        you stop doing it, democracy crumbles”, said Abbie Hoffman
 
 In the past, one of the major hurdles to achieving full democracy
        and the rule of law in Iran, has come from the self-interest of
        people who have been attempting to plunder the society for their own
        personal gain. It is the same scenario today. If we desire to achieve
        freedom and remain free then we need to avoid self-interest and
        work for our national interest and in the spirit of teamwork.
 
 Human beings cannot create an ideal world of peace and tranquility under
        totalitarian,   despotic and tyrannical regimes, such as the
        Islamic Republic in Iran. Individual freedoms would be brutally
        repressed. The individual would be at the mercy of the merciless, on our
        case, the clergies of Iran.
 
 Revolutions are successful only when they succeed in replacing a
        totalitarian state, not creating another oppressing dictatorship. We
        need to create a government which will secure greater personal freedom
        and liberty for all Iranians,   a government which moves,
        decidedly, away from dictatorship and proceeds, confidently, towards
        democracy.
 
 I believe seeing and hearing of demonstrations such as 18 Tri will give
        Iranians in Iran, who are unable to demonstrate in their own homeland, a
        renewed hope in the future and a reason  to rejuvenate
        their motivation. It represents a step forward in our freedom initiative
        which will break down any barriers of mistrust with our home base.
 
 As we move forward in implementing this important demonstration, we are
        determined to establish a grass-roots organization which, effectively,
        monitors and supports the ongoing efforts to find the best way to
        initiate new freedoms
 
 Behind all events, behind all movements, behind all unrest and all
        revolutions, there have always been great driving forces. The driving
        force should be our passion for a larger freedom and liberty and the
        rule of law in our homeland. For a very long time, Iranians have been
        struggling against alien rulers and the enemies of self-determination.
        Because of the lack of social and political freedom, police
        terrorization and thought control, under the occupation of Islamic
        terrorists in Iran, have been escalating.  With the selections of
        the members of Iran's 7th congress, the Islamic occupiers intend to continue
        this repression and legitimize their evil entity.
 
 My fellow compatriots, once again I call upon all of you to be united
        with your fellow Iranians in Iran on this day. I ask you to support
        their aspirations for self-rule and their
        expectations for an era of peace, freedom, prosperity and independence.
        This is no longer a choice; it is simply a duty and an obligation as an
        Iranian.
