The right thing to do and the very wrong thing ...

The Secretary of State, Dr. Condi Rice, yesterday finally announced what in effect must have been done a very long time ago- that the Iranian mullahs Special Ops, the Revolutionary Guards Qods Force, is indeed a terrorist organization, read here. This is a very good thing to do. It is the right thing to do. The Revolutionary Guards are the regime's anchors. They are the support mechanism for the murderous mullahs. They have been at the vanguard of the regimes outward aggression and are the spearheads for the inward oppression. They deserve to be on the list of Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Now comes the very wrong thing... The existential threat to the mullahs since their forceful installation on the Iranian people has been the Iranian Resistance, who lost more than 100000 in the mullahs dungeons, and many many others jailed, tortured, and uprooted. They are also, as a way of the previous administration favor to the so-called moderate regime of Khatami- remember him, were put on the same terrorist list.

Thus, we now have an absurd situation in which the State Department faces itself with having the very opposition movement to the correctly designated Qods Force, also as a terrorist organization. The friends and the enemy are on the same list. What does it do to the intent and purpose, we fail to understand. The one obvious conclusion is that the Iranian Resistance does not belong on this list.
