Reader comment on item: Will Washington Betray Anti-Regime Iranians?
Submitted by Maureen (United States), Jul 16, 2008 at 20:38
I disagree with you on this one. MEK's current short-term "tactical" cooperation does not spell friendship and does not translate into long-term strategic cooperation. Once ensconced in the US, MEK's seasoned "friendly" and "cohesive" warriors can turn ugly at the drop of a fatwah -- and viciously swell the ranks of the Fifth Column of Jihadis that is already in place.
Ties with MEK shouldn't be drawn any tighter. Our only "duty" is to protect the US.
