re: #161 itellu3times

I’m still very skeptical about this whole thing, because I cannot see where it is going. Mousavi in office would make no difference to the US. For Iran’s own domestic situation - from what I read, Achmadinejad is as much of a “reformer”, against the corrupt mullahs, as Mousavi. Can the choice between these two weevils really power a revolution?

So it’s developing some momentum, it still looks to me like a train to nowhere.

Its not about either leader now. Its about the willingness, finally, of the Iranian people to stand against the government. Willing to die at the hands of the government to make it representative of them.

Many of the chants are against the guardian council and islamic rule. How can that be bad or unimportant?
