Comments on: Iran: Mehdi Karroubi Speaks with Journalists (27 October) http://enduringamerica.com/2009/10/28/iran-mehdi-karroubi-speaks-with-journalists-27-october/ Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:51:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: outsider http://enduringamerica.com/2009/10/28/iran-mehdi-karroubi-speaks-with-journalists-27-october/comment-page-1/#comment-12349 outsider Thu, 29 Oct 2009 05:41:54 +0000 http://enduringamerica.com/?p=20066#comment-12349 Several columnists say that Karroubi is not very smart. I disagree with this statement. He is simply not a politician. A politician will listen to everyone and not comment. At the right time he or she will say things so that everyone, no matter how disparate their beliefs, will believe that he takes their viewpoint. Rafsanjani is a master of this and Mousavi has some talent for this even if he lacks charisma. Karroubi talks too much to be an effective politician. He is a really sincere and good religious person who walks the walk rather than just talking the talk. He is a man of uncompromising conscience. When idealistic older people or people with terminal illness recognize that their lifespan is shortened some wonder about the impact of their life on others. They wonder if they have accomplished enough and how history and others will view their legacy. I think that Karroubi wants to leave a legacy of political reform and return to justice for the country. He wants to return to the idealistic goals of the revolution that have never materialized. I think that he is one of the most important men in recent Iranian history. I admire him tremendously and hope that he does win the Nobel Prize.

Even 3000 miles away, I'm comforted and inspired by him. What IS the proper way to address him? The joking name "Obi-Wan" is an endearment - a respectful, loving and somewhat overawed tribute to his incorrigible courage and wisdom. But, what form of address should I use to honor him most on all dimensions? And here's the link to the Nobel Peace Prize twititon once again, since we missed the deadline for this year's prize: http://twitition.com/4benm Shhh WOW, once again Obi-Wan far exceeds all expectations.
