The MEK isn't actually all that bad--compared to other terrorist organizations, anyway. They are not fundamental Islamist, they are quite leftist, and so if they took over, at least women and minorities wouldn't be oppressed. They generally operate in a military style, rather than terrorist operations. They've had some bombings and assassinations attributed to them, but not very many, and in most cases, it was one extremist in the group. If we're willing to talk to the PLO and the IRA, we should be willing to talk to the MEK--if we can weed out the radicals and the ones who are willing to kill innocents for their goals, then the MEK wouldn't be that bad to have as allies. What surprises me, though, is that Bush and co. didn't just eradicate them--they're frigging Marxist. They're the last sort of people Bush would want to see in power in Iran. P.S.: I know that you could make Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihaad and Al-Qaeda look good if you tried to, but I had to do a lot of research on the MEK for a class last semester. I disagree with some of their actions, but they don't make me want to vomit like the other organizations' (i.e. attempted assassination of Iranian government officials, one successful assassination of an Iranian military general.. Not 'fifty men, women, and children, who happened to be on the wrong street at the wrong time.').
