Yesterday I discussed Wall Street Journal's article
about Radio Farda's Persian programming broadcast to Iran (1). The reality
is that United States government, 38 years after the Iranian Revolution of 1979,
still does not understand Iranian people. Iranian people never liked Ayatollah
Khomeini or Islamism; but Iranians dislike sycophants of foreign states, whether
they serve UK, US or Russia. The problem of Radio Farda, VOA (2), etc is that they
mainly hire obedient servants and mainly invite those guests who follow what the US orders
them to do. And exactly this is why both hosts and guests have no credibility
with Iranian people. US needs to seek Vaclav Havel's of Iran and not Ahmad
Chalabi's whether hiring management staff (3) for Radio Farda and VOA Persian Language Programs
or inviting guests, or when working with those in Iranian opposition. Otherwise
Iranians will not trust the U.S., whether in its soft approach of TV programs,
or hard approach of United Front against Islamic Republic in the Middle East.
Plain and simple.
Hoping for a democratic and secular futurist
republic in Iran,
