bad choice of a fight

It is my understanding that the MeK boast of being the first "revolutionary fighters" into the "nest of spies" back in 1979 when they're speaking Farsi rather than English. If so, the USA owes them nothing but denaturalization and deportation under due process of law to their members and supporters already in the USA and a resolute determination to keep their members abroad from ever polluting our shores.

While I cannot mourn for Sadam Hussein or the Ba'ath Party, it now appears that the USA has gained nothing from the Iraq intervention.

As for Arab "moderates", I'll believe it when a Muslim jury in Mecca, Sa'udi Arabia imposes the death penalty on a Muslim who murders his brother for apostasy. I might even believe it when the Arab states start mass naturalization of the Palestinian Arab refugees and descendants resident in their countries. But not before this.
