Opposition Leader \u2013 Roadmap To Regime Change In Iran<\/a><\/p>\n

Baird explained that the West has for too long tried to find an element of moderation within the Iranian Regime; an element that simply does not exist, but that appeasement must come to an end.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe must not ignore the people of Iran and we must not ignore their desire for change. Over the past six months, the people of Iran have shown great courage in protesting on the streets in more than 140 cities. They are desperately fighting for regime change. And friends, it is time to stand with the people of Iran and to give them our full support.\u201d<\/p>\n
