There are no moderates in the dictatorship. The dictatorship cannot be trusted. The agreement made with it is insane. Giving money to the leading state sponsor of terrorism makes no sense, and every single day, when they rejected the U.N., the dictatorship has said to the West, \u201cWe\u2019ll sign anything you want. It just has no meaning. Give us the money.\u201d They have methodically outmaneuvered the diplomats of the United States and European countries.<br \/>\n\u201cWe have an obligation with your help to communicate one key fact \u2014 with support, with encouragement, with a systematic effort: The people of Iran will rise against the dictatorship, and we will eliminate the dictatorship as a threat to civilization.<br \/>\n\u201cWhat you are doing by being here \u2014 by bringing all of these delegations who come from all around the world, by getting the news media to pay attention to the importance of your cause \u2014 I want each of you to know that being here is an important act of citizenship\u2026 that you are making a difference, that you are part of history, and that with your continued commitment you are winning the argument.<br \/>\n\u201cAnd that\u2019s part of what having Prince Turki Al Faisal meant. The fact that he would come here is a tribute to your commitment, it\u2019s a tribute to your involvement. And so I want you to know that the message I will take home to America is that there are thousands and thousands of Iranians who are prepared, who are ready, who are committed and who believe that we can truly bring democracy to Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Mr. Gingrich, a Republican, is former speaker of the House of Representatives and former U.S. representative of Georgia\u2019s 6th Congressional District. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>By Newt Gingrich &#8211; &#8211; Wednesday, July 13, 2016 &nbsp; Washington Times published excerpts from remarks House Spkr.
