The EUmbilical Cord
Allen February 26th, 2004
Shirin Peerooz in To: Leaders of the European Union and the People of Europe takes the leaders of the EU to task over their coddling of Iranian mullahs. One memorable quote is:
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.
The prose, at times, can be a bit overwrought, but if my country was being held hostage by these butchers, I probably would do the same.
The world coddled Saddam and his thugs in order to get at Iraqi oil. It appears to be doing the same with the mullahs and Iran.
Go read the article. Not written by some neocon with “world domination plans”, but rather a woman angered over her land being held hostage.
