How to uncover a faulty argument. Now...I've no idea about most of this other than you can scribble "Hojjatieh" nowdays in your search margins and get a plethora of negative thinking about something relatively UNKNOWN (well it isn't going to stay that way, I assure you). I mean, sheesh, you can hardly get that many references to the Bush Family Dinner With Hinkley Before The Reagan Assassination Attempt. You know what I mean? Like someone out there wants us to BELIEVE something as opposed to reason that the Iranian Prez is talking about the West's horrible greed for a Nuclear Energy Monopoly and their horrible ability to make the UN into their own personal Rottweiler complete with a Pitbull companion called the IAEA. Damn.

But lets look into the one faulty premise in this otherwise well constructed article. Why not?

READY, AIM, FIRE!

"I know that these people have infiltrated not just segments of the press but also layers of the Revolutionary Guards; they have spread their ideas there too and have created a situation in which a disturbed and unbalanced mentality towards the outside world has emerged among us."

Well...there we go. WE KNOW THEY HAVE INFILTRATED THEIR OWN GANG. Oops. Nary a mention of what else has infiltrated and in fact, that exists as a complete denial of the possibility that Westoxication is a real entity that sows seeds of violence, pornography and oppression not only in Iran but throughout the entire effing world. For money. And this guy's personal whatever, agenda?

And then...as if that wasn't enough to convince this old war hero, we get to the SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE later on in the 'text'...the nicely produced article about aren't we nice ain't we great holistic people text:

"Of course, I have a complaint against the council myself. My complaint is that all these violent groups, which sometimes go under the name of Ansar-e Hezbollah or under the name of plainclothesmen, emerged during the 20 years since the establishment of the Cultural Revolution Council and I was one of the first victims of these violent people, at the University of Esfahan, the University of Tehran, the University of Mashhad, and in Qom and Khorramabad."

Oh..I see. Yer objective aren't you? And that little tiny group that has beat the US/Israeli WAR MACHINE not once but TWICE, is the bad guy?

Oh. I get it. What next, the plague? That article belongs in the READER'S DIGEST, the one with big letters for old people who can't add without their fingers and toes.
