Thanks. My prayers and thoughts are with all Iranians standing up.
May the entire regime eventually fall, starting with nutjob and Khamenei.
I rec’d the info below from a PUBBY cyberfriend about Iran’s opposition leader. Any ideas?
Who is Mir-Hossein Mousavi Khameneh, the so called moderate that may or may not have defeated Mahmoud Ahmadinejad earlier this week?
According to the NYT, he was part of the leadership in 1987 that tried to blackmail the US with a money/arms for hostages deal. http://www.nytimes.com/1987/01/04/weekinreview/the-world-iran-and-us-fail-to-settle-account.html
In 1988 “Iranian Prime Minister Mir-Hossein Mousavi yesterday called Israel a “cancerous tumour” and said the Palestinian move to accept UN Resolution 242 would anger Muslim revolutionaries.”
“In 1989, Mousavi called for Salman Rushdie to be killed. The Times (London) reported that “Mr Mir-Hossein Mousavi, the Prime Minister, said the Ayatollah Khomeini’s order that Mr Rushdie should be killed ‘will undoubtedly be carried out and the person who has become a tool of Zionists against Islam and brazenly attacked it and the Prophet will be punished’, according to Tehran Radio.” And in that same year, the Washington Post described Mousavi as a “leading hardliner,” with links to regime attempts to assassinate political opponents in exile.”

Articles on numerous sites have plenty of info stating he was one of the founders of the terrorist organization Hezbollah.
