US Training Mujahideen Terroists In Nevada

There are few things that are inarguably true. One is that Iran’s nuclear program is the single biggest danger to peace in the Middle East. After all, Iran is a rouge state. They’ve been training anti-government terrorists. Oh, wait, that was the U.S. The United States government listed the Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK) as a terrorist group in 1997 but then gave them training so they could overthrow the government in Iran. In a 2008 interview on NPR’s Fresh Air, Seymour Hersh said, “We’re funding a group that is on the U.S. terrorist list to work against the Iranian government. They’ve been on the border for years. The enemy of my enemy is my friend (even if they’re on our terrorist watch list). This group has had covert training in America (in Nevada).”

Ok, this might be a little confusing because the US justifies bombing Yemen, Pakistan and Afghanistan because of the terrorist training camps there. But our terrorists are the good ones. Their terrorists are the bad ones. (Here’s the mantra, “We are the good guys. Everything we do is good.” Keep saying that over and over and the confusion will go away.) I’m sure everyone would be very understanding if Iran threatened to bomb Nevada to wipe out those training camps.

But the President of Iran hasn’t threatened to bomb Nevada. He just makes paranoid sounding speeches for absolutely no good reason. It’s not like the United States would overthrow a democratically elected government in Iran and install a brutal dictator. As long as we don’t count the overthrow of Mohammad Mosaddegh, Time’s Man of the Year in 1952, and the installation of the Shah, the Iranians have nothing to complain about.

The Shah brought many good things to Iran but he had this little problem with people who opposed him. According to the Federation of American Scientists the Shah’s secret police tortured opposition activists using “electric shock, whipping, beating, inserting broken glass and pouring boiling water into the rectum, tying weights to the testicles, and the extraction of teeth and nails.” And according the Jesse J. Leaf, a former CIA analyst on Iran, the CIA trained the torturers.

But we all know that threat to peace in the Middle East is the current regime in Iran because according to a report by Reuters news in March of 2012, “The United States, European allies and even Israel generally agree on three things about Iran’s nuclear program: Tehran does not have a bomb, has not decided to build one, and is probably years away from having a deliverable nuclear warhead.”
