If the Ayatollahs are smart, they will ultimately move to protect their own existence by calling for a new election and installing Mousavi. That would end the uprising and they would cling to their power.
It looks like they’ve realized that their initial violent reaction was only strengthening the revolution, and it looks like they may — may — have stepped back. But Mousavi is apparently directly challenging the authority of the “Supreme Leader” now. If the Ayatollahs continue to resist the revolution, then they will be swept away. And it may — again, may — be too late for them to strike a bargain with Mousavi to give up some of their control in order to retain power, diminished as it may be.
Ditto.
My support if for Persia with an Ataturk at the helm, and the Islamofascist clerics at the business end of a noose.
Hopefully the people realize that this guy isn’t all he’s cracked up to be.
Many of those civil rights protesters in the 1960’s put Obammie in office.
Where are they now?
Where is he now?
Oh, that's right, it was only an anti-establishment movement, topple those in power and replace them with leftists...who are the enemy of civil rights.
Good post....
Whatever happens THE ONE will claim it is all good and he is responsible for it.
A Statue of Liberty.
What the US and NATO need to do is to tell the Islamic Republican Guards to either stay out of this or face military action against the IRCG and other regime targets. Any mass action against protesters will be met with a swift response.
Oust the mullahs. Oust Islam. Then you can have real change.

Usama Bin Laden
Don’t support a would be tyrant (Mousavi)
Now would be a really good time for Israel to consider an attack...
Yes, the Chinese protesters based it on our own Statue of Liberty.
Not bad for a time when Clinton was going around the world apologizing for America, much as 0bama is doing now.
kinda sad, isn't it
That's a heck of an idea...can you imagine how interestingly complex life would suddenly become if that happened???
Words do not serve....
Wow.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! Moussavi is a pawn of the mullahs just like Ahmadinejihad. Any support I’d offer would be for the Iranians born after 1979. The rest can go to hell.
