ONE love, blood, life
I was reviewing a few documents on the plausibility of the US supporting a coup in Iran agains the religious leadership and was wondering what people think about it in principle. Would it be feesible for the United States to give more active support to the anti-Mullah groups, perhaps in the event of a full scale uprising for the US to give aerial support should it be requested, or assist in assassination and sabotage again if it were requested. Basically any course of action that did not wind up putting on US troops on the ground in Iran but at the same time ensuring that minimal blood is shed by protecting them against the revolutionary guard.
The balance of power in the Middle East is shifting dramatically as we speak, Iraq is moving towards elections and the Shiites will be gaining a significant say, thankfully though Federalism will ensure that both Kurd and Sunni do retain representation. This is an Arab country mind you but when you consider the plausibility of a free Iran in the next decade or two the major powers in the ME are going to Shiite dominated countries (those Iranians my age on the whole have no great love for theocracy, political Islam will be relegated to the dustbin of history along with its ideological equals communism and fascism, it is entrely concievable that a peacefull revolution of liberalisation and secularism could take place over the course of a few years). This is a big threat to the Wahabi and Salafi elements within the Arab world, they are enemies of eachother and the Shiites are viewed by these schools as heretics. This will no doubt put significant pressure upon Sunni dominated states in the region and will increase unrest among Shiites living there. It will be interesting to see the world of 2024.
So what possible action would/should be given to the free Iran movement should they launch an uprising?
