I have had the opportunity over the past 12 years to be a member of the Iran Policy Planning Group and have engaged in a positive manner with the members of the Iran opposition who defected from Iran after the Shah fell.
My heart and soul yearned with them that the tyrannical government under the ayatollahs would be replaced by a democratic government. But that has never happened. All we have seen is an evil and radical Islamic regime gain in strength over the years and support international terrorism, torture and murder of its own people and others throughout the world.
