In direct contravention of my wife's explicit instructions, herewith I inaugurate my first blog. Long may it prosper.

For some reason, I think I have something to say to you. You think you have something to say to me? Email me at: gideonsblogger -at- yahoo -dot- com

 
Take a look at this piece from MEMRI , excerpting a letter to Ayatollah Khamenei from one of the founders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and now a dissident. The Iranian dissidents get it, in a way that no group in the Arab world does. They want a free, Western-oriented government. They think that the Islamic Revolution has destroyed their country, and destroyed Islam along with it. THEY GET IT. These are our best allies, bar none, in the current war. Why is our government doing so little to support them?
