It’s a nice gesture, but keep in mind Mousavi’s green is the color of Islam.
And Mousavi is still Ahmadinejad-lite.

Hopefully, though, the revolution in Iran will see the complete downfall of the Theocracy, and the birth of true secular democracy there.
That would be useful.
Simply replacing Ahmadinejad with Mousavi and keeping the Ayatollahs and the “Supreme Leader” would not be.

Yes, that's the point, and why the Supreme Leader is having his personal militia shoot protesters dead in the street.
