US President warns Islamic regime, reiterates support of Iranians

SMCCDI (Information Service):
President George W. Bush, considered by many Middle Eastern and especially by most Iranians as the "Messiah of Freedom", delivered on Wednesday his fourth State of Union Speech.

Warning terrorist and rogue regime's, such as the Islamic republic, he stated: "The al Qaeda terror network that attacked our country still has leaders -- but many of its top commanders have been removed. There are still governments that sponsor and harbor terrorists -- but their number has declined. There are still regimes seeking weapons of mass destruction -- but no longer without attention and without consequence. "

""In the long term, the peace we seek will only be achieved by eliminating the conditions that feed radicalism and ideologies of murder. If whole regions of the world remain in despair and grow in hatred, they will be the recruiting grounds for terror, and that terror will stalk America and other free nations for decades. The only force powerful enough to stop the rise of tyranny and terror, and replace hatred with hope, is the force of human freedom. Our enemies know this, and that is why the terrorist Zarqawi recently declared war on what he called the "evil principle" of democracy. And we have declared our own intention: America will stand with the allies of freedom to support democratic movements in the Middle East and beyond, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world." he added.

Getting more specific on the nuclear activities of the Islamic republic and the legitimate aspiration of the Iranian People to free itself, he emphasized: "Today, Iran remains the world's primary state sponsor of terror -- pursuing nuclear weapons while depriving its people of the freedom they seek and deserve. We are working with European allies to make clear to the Iranian regime that it must give up its uranium enrichment program and any plutonium re-processing, and end its support for terror. And to the Iranian people, I say tonight: As you stand for your own liberty, America stands with you."

Millions of Iranians and most dissident groups, such as SMCCDI, have great hopes that the Bush Administration will use of all its diplomatic and economic power in order to help them to bring down the theocracy by non-military means and will support them in the creation of an elected secular and democratic political structure.

Another meaningful part of Mr. Bush 4th State of Union Speech, which should cut short baseless claims made by some demagogues, was: "The United States has no right, no desire, and no intention to impose our form of government on anyone else. That is one of the main differences between us and our enemies. They seek to impose and expand an empire of oppression, in which a tiny group of brutal, self-appointed rulers control every aspect of every life. Our aim is to build and preserve a community of free and independent nations, with governments that answer to their citizens, and reflect their own cultures. And because democracies respect their own people and their neighbors, the advance of freedom will lead to peace."

SMCCDI had sent a letter, on January 27th, asking formally for the US President's help and assistance to Freedom Loving Iranians. The letter which was including several propositions can be seen here.
