I know he meant credibility among the Iranian people and so do I. When the fascists fall, if Ganji happens to be left standing, the Iranian people are going to be asking why he didn't work with the brave men and women of the United States of America. When, in heinsight of course, it is so obvious they changed their foreign policy to favor democrats in the ME. Ganji did the people of Iran a disservice by blowing a unique opportunity. In any case, the fact that Chalabi was a liar and a thief has no relevance here. It's a fool’s game to hold all dissidents to Chalabi’s low behavioral standard. Each individual and organization has a unique set of skills that can either facilitate popular sovereignty or destroy it. Americans have thrown their weight behind change and their credibility has been earned on the battlefield, in parliaments all over the world and in new classrooms that spread truth. The fact that Ganji doesn’t understand history in the making or his place in it today relegates him to a forgettable footnote, nothing more.
Really? His prison internship in Iran will count for much more than his contacts with the former US administration. Former because in couple years someone else will be in White House. About bravery, he seems to have enough of his own.
Referring to the previous post:
Ganji was initially enthused by the 1979 Revolution. He became a member of Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and worked at the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. There's more history than this to shake Ganji's credibility.
This that he "was initially enthused by the 1979 Revolution" is nothing unusual. At first the Revolution had the overwhelming support and the fact that he was "enthused" as other Iranians were, will make him more credible, not less.
The fact that Ganji doesn’t understand history in the making or his place in it today relegates him to a forgettable footnote, nothing more.
We will see.
