These "Iranian-Americans" are the Mojahedin  (one of whose front
groups the "National Coalition of Pro-Democracy Advocates" is as you
can plainly see from its Web site <http://ncpdaus.org/>), Republicans,
and their "useful idiots" who have been conned into taking the path of
vatanforushi, the path of vendepatrias. -- Yoshie

Iranian-Americans rally in front of White House

By CHRISTINE SIMMONS – 6 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hundreds of protesters, many of them
Iranian-Americans, marched from Capitol Hill to the White House on
Saturday, most holding Iranian flags and chanting demands for the U.S.
to take more action after Iran's disputed election.

After marching through several blocks of downtown Washington, more
than 200 people rallied in front of the White House. They shouted
demands for President Barack Obama and leaders of other countries to
"reject the sham elections, impose complete sanctions."

They also shouted "death to Ahmadinejad," referring to the Iranian
president whose disputed June 12 re-election prompted days of street
protests in Iran. Some carried pictures of Neda Agha Soltan, a young
woman who bled to death in a Tehran street. She became a symbol of the
postelection protest movement after videos of her death by gunfire
were posted online.

Iranian-American organizations, such as the National Coalition of
Pro-Democracy Advocates, and human rights groups organized the march
and the rally in Lafayette Square across from the White House.
Demonstrators said they wanted to show their solidarity with the
protesters in Iran. They also wanted world leaders to suspend all
political and diplomatic ties with Iran and demanded that the Iranian
regime hold an election supervised by the United Nations.

Reza Kamandar, who took part in the rally, said his brother was shot
by a member of Iran's Revolutionary Guard earlier this week and died.
The 43-year-old math teacher said he traveled from Houston to
Washington "to support my people."

"I'm here to tell Mr. Obama please, please take action. You need to
take action right now," he said. "In Iran, they don't want this
government."

Yavar Moghimi, a 28-year-old who has many family members in Iran, said
he participated in the rally to make sure Iran's disputed election "is
not forgotten in the eyes of policy makers here" and remind them
"there's tons of people who are political prisoners right now" in
Iran.

The crowd heard from several speakers, including former Rep. Tom
Tancredo, R-Colo.
