As well as this, the MEK could never gain any traction in Iran. They are hated there because of their work with Saddam during the Iran/Iraq war. They claim to be secular and leftist (that's about a moderate conservative in the West's standards), but who knows what they're really thinking.The weakness of Obama is pretty clear in his failure to support the 2009 protests in Iran. In my opinion to have a popular revolution among the citzenry is better than some fringe group that claims to have secular values (MEK).
