Forgiveness Doesn’t Require Repentance Anymore

Today, even murdering Americans can be forgiven if it’s wrapped in diplomacy.

I’ve been talking about the Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), also known as PMOI, NCR, and NCRI, for a long time. Their history is long and dark, so I’ll break it down into parts to make it easier for all of us.

I’ve decided to begin with what might possibly matter most to America and Americans: the killing of Americans.

Now, please understand, I’m not expecting these pieces to make a difference or to stop the conquest of America. Not even for a second. I’m too much of a realist to believe otherwise.

Americans long ago accepted the forgiveness of enemies, stepping over justice, and disregarding the blood of their own, so long as it was done by their side of politics.

But I’m doing this for the same reason I’ve done it for over a decade.
This is my calling. This is my duty.

Affiliation: Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG), Directorate of Financial Management

It was a quiet Saturday morning in Abbasabad, a district in north Tehran.

Lieutenant Colonel Lewis Lee Hawkins, 41, left his home and began his short walk toward the usual corner where he waited for his daily ride to MAAG Headquarters. He wore his U.S. Army uniform. A disciplined and respected officer. A husband. A father of three boys, the youngest just five years old, living with him in Tehran.

As he reached the corner, just two blocks from home, a motorcycle with two riders approached.

The shooters wore helmets to conceal their identities. They opened fire at close range.

Colonel Hawkins was hit three times. He collapsed near the street, bleeding out. His wife rushed to the scene and fainted at the sight of her husband drenched in blood. Iranian emergency services could not save him.

He died right there.
