National Security from College Students

This past Halloween weekend, the Rutgers Association of International Relations traveled to Bethesda, Maryland in order to participate in the National Collegiate Security Conference, and let me tell you, it was awesome.
Firstly, I was in the Eighth Iranian Majlis (Parliament), a very fractured and uncertain governing body. We had to discuss the burgeoning youth movement in Iran, whose goals were to become a more democratic countries. There were two polarized sides, the Reformists and the Principlists; their names essentially state their position. Before we even got around to passing resolutions on the issue, the Supreme Leader Khamenei was assassinated. A report first issued by the Revolutionary Guard implicated noted reformist Ayatollah Rafsanjani of being complicit in the Supreme Leader's assassination. After calling for several investigations, I received intelligence from a rogue Revolutionary Guard soldier stating that President Ahmedinejad and the leaders of the IRGC (Revolutionary Guard) met to plan the death of the Supreme Leader. From then on, we moved to impeach President Ahmedinejad, who promptly decided, along with the IRGC, to dissolve the Majlis and attempt to kill all of us.
In the end, we went to war with China and stole their flag.

Aside from the serious stuff, it was one hell of a time. If you're not doing Model UN, then you're not experiencing absolute euphoria. Get there.
