re: #1357 J.S.

here’s the link… (again, makes for some interesting reading…frankly I’ve been hearing far too much about how Mousavi is *not* a “reformer” in any way, shape, or form…(or at least not how the word “Reform” is understood in the West.)

Mousavi, like Obama, ran on a platform of “change” that appealed to younger voters. If anything in his history indicated he was a proponent of true reform, he would have been excluded from the ticket. That said, it’s important to remember that a significant portion of the population is demanding more than business as usual in Iran. That can have a lot of long range consequences.

This is only the first step.
