FREE IRAN!
From what I've been watching on the Satellite XTV called up the regime over past few days and questioning about Zahra Kazemi, 16 year old girl, and all human rights and terrorist act by regime. Apparently someone from Khamenei's office is calling tonight. Should be interesting - in farsi though: perhaps if it happens, they will do a translation to english which would be good.!!!!
Hmmmmm................
So, is he going to try to convince Iranians living in America that the regime isn't really so bad, it's just misunderstood? Or is he going on the show to frighten away Iranians living in Iran who listen to the show, by letting them know that the regime is listening? He can't possibly think that listeners anywhere will believe some kind of PR stunt.
One cannot fight tyranny by giving them a free forum to voice their cause. In order for democracy to work tyranny must be totally crushed and THEN democracy implemented.

I agree. If XTV is doing this for "ratings", I hope they're planning on "nailing" this guy to the wall. And when he starts giving regime excuses and BS, they should disconnect him and never have another regime rep again.
RangaRang TV brought a guy from the Islamic Republic one time. There was a fight b/c the Islamic Republic guy said he won't sit at the table if the Lion and Sword flag was displayed. Eventually they both put their flags down but in the end another fight broke out and the pro-Democracy guy threw the Islamic Republic flag on the floor. It was hilarious
Dudes - they're doing it to BASH the REGIME and openly interrogate them and bash them re: every criminal act they have odne for past 25 years - and most recently question them about 16 year old girl..
they are using it as a forum to bash them on satellite for all Irnaians to hear
It's a CHECKMATE - if they don't call they look like pussies - if they do call they get bashed.. perfect strategy..
