S. Peerooz
I am an Iranian, an Iranian woman. Like Shirin Ebadi, I am a Moslem too but that is not the
issue, by no means.. I am an Iranian woman living in exile and
haven’t been back to my country since the clerics invaded my
country and like their Arab predecessors usurped the throne and
mantle of the great Achaemenian and Parthian kings.
In all these years, I have not been able to
forget the land of my birth and the sufferings of my fellow
countrymen. I am anxiously marking days hoping for the day that
I will see my homeland freed.
Throughout the years of exile, I have repeatedly sought
to learn the regime’s secret of survival. Indeed, it is a
mystery that a regime so supremely incompetent and inconsistent
at best, deeply and vastly detested at home and abroad has
managed to survive. Aside from the confusion existing among my
people and the lack of leadership among the opposition groups,
and aside from the fact that the Islamic regime in Iran is
probably one of the most ruthless and brutal regimes in the
history of mankind, I find the main reason for this regime’s
survivability, an umbilical cord so tightly knotted into the
belly of the European Union. Really, what more should these
blood-thirsty crowd do for you to realize that dealing with them
is just not worth it? Indeed,
it can have adverse future ramifications. I am convinced that if
it were not for the untiring support of EU’s principal members
throughout these years, the regime would have been long gone
years ago.
Americans think terrorism and
fundamentalism as their worst enemies.
They don’t know (or perhaps they know and can’t do
anything about it) that you are indeed their greater enemy.
They have always protected you against self-inflicted
internal strife, but you have repeatedly bitten the hand that
fed you. Needless to say, you know they will feed you again if
there is a need and they know that you will bite their hands
again. They have nurtured you at time of need and in gratitude,
you stab them in the back.
You know perfectly well that ruling Mullahs
ruining MY country are the principal source of international
terrorism. Among their innovations are the notion of martyrdom
and the birth of suicide bombing. Nevertheless, so long as your
coffers can profit from this brutal regime, you choose to ignore
these facts. Your support pumps blood to their dying veins. It
gives them energy and propagates their wretched existence. You
have turned your back on my people; you are sacrificing their
well being for the sake of cheaper oil and business contracts.
You are taking advantage of the current situation while ignoring
the fact that our homeland and the life and future of our people
is wasted and destroyed by the current ruling Mullahs.
People of Europe, I am now addressing you?
Do you know the extra Euros in your already opulent life
style is paid with the blood of people who never did you any
harm? Do you know
the broken and lashed bodies of the youth of my country paid for
these extra benefits?
Are you aware the cost of your material gains are
several million addicted children and innocent little girls who
are forced to prostitute in order to live?
Your governments are closing their eyes to the injustices
and atrocities and keep you in the dark, or you know and don’t
give a damn. Isn’t your conscious bothered at all?. Haven’t you seen the women wrapped in white shrouds and
stoned to death? Haven’t
you seen hands being severed for stealing a loaf of bread?
What about eyes plucked out of their socket? Don’t they remind you at all of Victor Hugo’s “Les
Miserable?” Aren’t
you afraid of God and the fact that sooner or later you may have
to repent for this indifference?
Your governments are so worried about the
demise of this brutal and savage regime that they have become
their political supporters and faithful consultants.
Whatever advise and support they need, the EU leadership
provides. They constantly send their top advisers and political leaders
to Iran. EU Prim Ministers, EU Ministers of Foreign affair, the
head of the EU itself, even a royal Prince. To what cause? to
safeguard them against our people? Against the broken hearted
mother who lost four children to these criminals? Against the
father who is dealing with the pain of losing a son in the war
and a daughter to prostitution? Against the kidnapped writers
who were stabbed to death? Against the exiles who were butchered
in your own countries (recall Dr. Bakhtiar? Does it sound
familiar? Recall
Sharafkandi and his friends in Mikonos restaurant?
How about Farrokhzad, Sahriar Shafig, Boroumand, General
Oveisi, and … ?) Against imprisoned and tortured thousands in
their notorious prisons? Against million expatriates suffering
around the world and either afraid or too disgusted to return
home? I can
go on and on and on….
I was looking at the photographs of the
three EU foreign ministers from France, Britain, and Germany
taken during their recent travel to Tehran to help the Mullahs
with their Nuclear plans; to make it short, keep them out of
trouble. Their jovial laughter was like a thorn in the heart of
millions of my people who have been going through the most
inhumane pains in the hands of these people, and all the
humiliation all these years all over the world because of those
criminals. Go
ahead, laugh at us, as much as you can, love and hug those
bloody cruel criminals your royal highness, the Prince.
Go ahead! laugh at us, laugh at our misery.
Go ahead! teach them and pamper them like spoiled children and
in exchange, they will give you a little share of Iran’s
robbed booty. Go
ahead and brag about western civilization!, freedom!,
democracy!. How can
you shout about democracy in your country while you enslave
other nations for your economical gains?
You did this in Iraq and you witnessed the result. Now
you are doing it to my country. I promise there will come a day
that we will laugh at you.
My countrymen will not tolerate this regime
forever and your economic dominance over my country will end
soon. My country has dealt with worse situations. It has gone
through many invasions, but this time, it is a different story.
I hope your conscience wakes up in time and you turn your
back on this regime.…..
This is the best time for your governments
(EU in general) to understand the real issues.
It is to your benefit to support the struggle of our
people for freedom, this is a crucial time for us.
Stop helping them and leave the rest to
us…………….
