zeitgeist

The focus on fighting on both fronts is disingenuous, in that it plays down the nuclear threat  to Iran and has untold global repercussions. Considering there is over a million Iraqis dead.It is sensible to highlight this by the slogan “Hands off Iran”.
To organize another campaign at the same time against the Islamic regime is playing into the hands of the enemy. Solidarity with Iranians as an oppressed people is all very well but should not be linked with the
utter insanity of US plans. Why not just demand international communism and show solidarity with more people .

A Hands Off Iran and international communism campaign would truly highlight the absurd nature of your dual campaign. Regime change begins at home.

What is frustrating the political naivety that cant see that US shock and awe tactics may kill millions of Iranians.
However,HOPI still makes regime change in Iran both an imperialist and communist goal open to the charge of neo-con puppetry as it augments the cold war role of
western propaganda whose main goal is to demonise Iran and its people. A people in need of help from the West. A west which should be highlighting its own torturers and war criminals and potential war crimes.
Indeed, solidarity with the people of Iran in the war mongering nations should focus mostly on the antics of the warmongerers.
Why demonise  Iran? That is
the job of the imperialist war machine.
What is solidarity? Getting your priorities right. At a time of war beating of ones own country and its allies. I think it its  is the highest duty of communists to defend the national sovereignty of the target nation and it is more courageous to do this that than to act as cheerleader to the imperialist propaganda machine, which plays the reactionary role of underplaying the actual US threat.
