Description
The Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) is an Iranian terrorist organization that was based in Iraq until recently. It subscribes to an eclectic ideology that combines its own interpretation of Shiite Islamism with Marxist principles. The group aspires to overthrow the current regime in Iran and to establish a democratic, socialist Islamic republic. This Islamic socialism can only be attained through the destruction of the existing regime and the elimination of Western influence, described as "Westoxication" . To achieve this Islamic ideology, the use of physical force, armed struggle or jihad is necessary. Besides having had an alliance with Saddam Hussein, the organization has or had ties with: Amal, the Kurdish Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI), the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Al Fatah, and other Palestinian factions. The MEK is even suspected of past collusion with the regime of the Taliban in Afghanistan.

I dunno if the PNAC gang knows, or cares about the MeK's whole agenda, but one thing should stick out - -
From the text posted above:
"This Islamic socialism can only be attained through the destruction of the existing regime and the elimination of Western influence . ."

I suppose the only part the PNAC gang care about is the "destruction of the existing regime" part,
And will worry about the "elimination of Western influence" part, umm - whenever.
Someone should show Alireza Jafarezadeh a map of all the USA military around Iran.
USA ain't gonna give up "influence" - never has
Just ask Japan, Germany and another 150 countries with USA's military in it.
(sigh)
