#9  Many said the same about Solidarity. And Yeltsin. And those taking over from Coucescu in Romania.

Mousavi is transitional at best - and transformational if he is lucky.

Its not the man, its the movement. If Mousavi get power, it will be next to impossible to implement the SAVAK-style police state the current Mullahs are trying to maintain. Principally because the IRGC will have fragmented and no longer be capable of being the hammer.

Xenophone and others are simply stupid and wrong -- IF the revolution succeeds, it will shatter the current structure (big IF).

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy - not necessarily my friend.

The protestors are pushing for Moussavi - who's as bad as any now in power. Feel sorry for the demonstrators who will be killed and beaten before any change occurs and then betrayed immediately thereafter.

#7  Why is there always some idiot posting in the comments section trying to use semi-"right" reasons to justify what's basically waffle-eating-surrender-moneky policies and to sell out the Iranian _people_ to the Mullahs?

#2  I don't believe the death toll has "jumped" to 19. I think it's jumped a lot higher.
