Since the 1979 regime change in Iran, all the US presidents, from Jimmy Carter to George W. Bush have reached out to Iran’s dictatorial regime in order to find a way to deal with them, only to be disappointed in that effort. (1)

It seems that the Iranian policymakers are always ready to engage in negotiations with the US, but, looking for no outcome. One wonders why?

To analyze and understand the reasons for the failed diplomacy between the two countries, we need to have a closer look at the fundamental beliefs of this Regime.

This regime represents a very unusual version of Islam (Islamic fascism), which is fundamentally different and against the civilized world, and the values it holds important. In fact they believe that the western culture is satanic and corrupt, and should be removed from the face of the earth. They do not hide their belief that non Muslims are infidels, and have no equal rights as a Muslim does (2).

Oddly enough this equation applies to the Iranian people living inside Iran as well. Regime even discriminates against the Iranian people inside the country. The term first class versus second class citizens has been created by the regime’s ideologues and now is an ordinary term to separate people who are pro-regime (fundamentalists) and based on regime’s measure, are considered to be “real Muslims” who are about just %5 of the Iranian population, and other people whom they still consider Muslims but do not support this regime (3).

The question is why do we insist on negotiating with such an antagonistic, brutal and fanatic regime? Why can’t we see that all the past diplomatic efforts have failed? That’s not just because our diplomats were not competent or willing enough, but because this regime has no intention to “join the civilized world”, something that we offer them in exchange for an end to their nuclear ambitions!

In fact, it is obvious that this regime is never going to give up its ambitions in developing the nuclear power. So, why are we falling for its game and its song and dance and giving this regime ample time to complete its nuclear project? Why can’t we look back at the last three years of G5+1 negotiations with this regime? and what have we got to show for it, absolutely nothing.

Admittedly this regime is very witty and they know how to penetrate our political system. Their lobbyists such as the NIAC, CASMII, or PAAIA (4) are working so hard with our policymakers in order to bring them to the negotiation table with the Iranian regime (5). That is why we (our policy makers) have been so misguided. Instead of keeping pressure on this fascist regime, imposing more sanctions on them, and helping Iranian people to free themselves from their fascist rulers, we are looking for “good guys” inside the regime to deal with! The same policy that led to our positive attitude towards the former president, Khatami, bearing no fruits whatsoever for eight years. This blind policy keeps failing until the day that we’ll be faced with a nuclear fascist regime that is looking forward to control the infidel world.

We are very surprised by some American “Experts” who encourage our policy makers to accept a nuclear Iran, and share the power in the Middle East with them! They have no shame. We can still remember, and remind them similar comments about South Africa’s apartheid regime back in the 60s.

In conclusion, we would like to caution our fellow Americans and our newly elected President-Elect Barack Obama, to be more vigilant, and to pay more attention to this very important issue while making serious corrections to our policy in dealing with the Iranian Regime.
