<span style="color: blue;"><b>I have been most impressed with the initiatives of Moji Agha [a.k.a. Mojtaba Aghamohammadi], especially as he has been developing the comprehensive "Circles Movement" project (a.k.a. Circles of Nonviolence/Community Collaboratives Initiative) and with their efforts to engage people to undertake the tasks that must be addressed with dedication and commitment if there are to be hopes of decent survival. And I am pleased to endorse these very valuable policies and actions.</b></span><span style="color: #1d2129;"> [For more information, please see the "America for Nonviolence" page of this website.] </span></div>

<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">The mission of this historic initiative should be (and indeed is) primarily an AMERICAN moral responsibility. </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">Why American? Because the temporarily successful violent overthrow of the non-violent<i> "George Washington of Iran" </i>was the mother of almost all profoundly destructive subsequent errors of state judgement in the recent history of this country, at least since the deeply misguided CIA coup of August 19, 1953. Had the U.S. government not overthrown Iran's young democratic government 60 years ago, history would have unfolded quite differently, and many of today's conflicts would have been avoided. So I firmly believe, that "We the People" should view the <i>Mossadegh Legacy Institute (MLI) </i>as a truly patriotic opportunity to help rehabilitate the collective conscience of our own nation. In other words, this is a neglected AMERICAN moral wound in need of authentic examination and real healing, not just an Iranian, Middle Eastern, or <i>"global South"</i> festering wound.</span></b></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="background-color: white;">As Prime Minister of Iran, </span><span style="background-color: white;">Mohammad Mossadegh's actions were motivated by a selfless dedication to improving the living conditions of the people his democratically elected government had the responsibility to serve. Accordingly, he courageously resisted the entreaties of special interest groups and foreign governments, whose immoral influence at the top echelons of government have always created havoc throughout the world, as is evident today when considering </span><span style="background-color: white;">Israel's </span><span style="background-color: white;">influence on American foreign policy. </span><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></b></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">ENDORSEMENT OF THE MOSSADEGH LEGACY INSTITUTE (MLI)</span></span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;"><br /></span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Here is an organization with the right mission in the right moment, a mission encapsulated in its perfect choice of name. </span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Mohammad Mossadegh is remembered, when he is remembered, as a man who worked to better the lives of Iranians, who resisted foreign control of his nation and its natural resources, and who understood war to be the ultimate evil. Mossadegh's tools were oratory, organizing, and integrity. Not only did he choose not to use violence, but he was willing to give up power peacefully rather than allow a civil war to be waged in his name. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Westerners should find Mossadegh's legacy valuable for two reasons. First, his was an Iranian government more democratic and secular in nature than some others before and since. Second, what was done to his government is a critical historical lesson for those not well-informed on this shameful tragedy. When the CIA overthrew Mossadegh to install a U.S.-friendly dictatorship, it poisoned U.S.-Iranian relations from that day to this, and it developed a model for poisoning U.S. relations with many other nations, including Guatemala the very next year.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">That Iranian people maintain any affection for the American people is a testament to the Iranians' wisdom and rationality. The U.S. public struggles to match Iranians in that regard. Understanding our shared and painful history is a necessary part of a process of reconciliation. Naming streets and landmarks in the United States for Mossadegh is a brilliant and creative idea, as is marking the 60th anniversary of the coup this summer at the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, which Mossadegh had symbolically visited not long before the United States threw him out of power. I hope that work on developing student and cultural exchanges between Iran and the United States might also become part of this project.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">I admire and appreciate Mossadegh who would obviously be a better Nobel Peace Prize recipient than the EU or Obama. </span><span style="background-color: white;">While I'm pursuing, along with Fredrik Heffermehl and others, a strategy of trying to strictly enforce Alfred Nobel's will, in order to avoid the bestowing of Nobel Peace Prizes on either promoters of war or good humanitarians whose work is not for disarmament and demilitarization, I do believe that Mossadegh is long overdue for recognition. Statues, parks, streets, airports, halls, endowments, and peace rallies ought to be used to honor his legacy and to educate the world.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">History is not apart from us. The United States has never dropped its effort to control Iran and to do so coercively. I am hopeful that Iran, as a leading nation among the non-aligned nations of our world, can actually lead the United States toward the better elements of its own legacy. There have been Americans over the decades who have been friends to Iran and have been honored for it. And there have been times when the United States has made movements in the direction of peace.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Having recently completed a study of the 1928 <i>Kellogg Briand Pact</i>, which bans war, and to which Iran and the United States and 80 some other nations are party, I would like to begin working to encourage Iran to ask the United States to state its intention of complying with the treaty. Iran could also encourage 100 some additional nations to join the treaty, which can be accomplished simply by notifying the U.S. State Department. All nations are accepted, by the terms of the treaty itself. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">We should seek out such bright spots in our collective past and renew them. There was a time in 1951 when Mossadegh visited the United States and the United Nations, as well as the Liberty Bell. He was the Time magazine person of the year in 1952. Many respected him, although </span></span></b><b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">begrudgingly</span></span></b><b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">. Others truly liked and admired him. We cannot undo the crime of 1953, the overthrow engineered from the same U.S. embassy that Iranians would occupy to prevent its repetition in 1979. But we can focus on what the American and Iranian people have in common, which runs far deeper than the disagreements of governments.</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">And as Americans come to understand the Iranian people, we will be better able to face down a propaganda push for a war on Iran, not only because of our familiarity with the lies that launched the war on Iraq in 2003, not only because of our understanding of the lies that have framed official U.S. discussions of Iran since 1953, but also because the phrase<i> "Iranian collateral damage"</i> will mean to us people whom we know, love, and respect.</span></span></b></div>
