Mousavi and Karrubi are two figures who currently have no positions in a country where freedom of speech is costly. Based on what I am getting through my friends, to Iranians inside Iran, it is more about unifying people. People who are already against the policies, are already against it. Opposition leaders are trying to open more eyes that has not been opened, instead of making impressive speaches that might cause casualties at wrong times. We see Iran differently from the outside! Talk to Iranians inside and get their points of views…Right now, people have even become more unified than before.

“Do you think Khomeini would have approved of the negotiations between US and Iran?”

Sure, he did during Iran Contra.

Hey Sammy Boy

you`re right, I don`t think its gonna happen anytime soon, maybe in a few years, but I can hope that they drop dead soon. Anyways, I asked you something in an earlier post, you never replied.
Do you think Khomeini would have approved of the negotiations between US and Iran?

Hey Shangooli,

“I hope this time next year SL, AN Jafari and the rest of them are six feet under”.

Well I hope this time next year to find a magic pot of gold that will make me wealthier than Saudi King Abdullah and the Sultan of Brunei combined.

I think my odds are far better.

Mousavi and Karroubi are not leadership material, they have no charisma, no enthusiasm. Rafsanjani atleast is an excellent politician, but I think his time is up.
The real leaders are the protesters who sacrifice their blood.

I deeply hope that Mousavi and Karroubi are not the best Iran can offer for leadership. The more I listen to these two guys the more I become convinced that Iran will be in no better shape with either one of these two in leadership position. Karroubi and Mousavi sound like they are stuck in distant past. They truly do not get it. I think Mousavi and Karroubi are fit to be an elder in small village than to lead a country with 70 million populations with 70 percent under the age of 30.

This is a trouble time for Iran. Iranians need a leader who can navigate through the shark infested water instead of keep cataloging problems that are evident to people.

ofcourse noone has any problem with Islam and it is so obvious that the radical interpretation of Islam is the thing people in Iran are in opppsition with. besides I believe the islam is nothing for the leaders of iran but something to use it to save their power. Besides we sould consider that most of the leader’s of the protesters who live in Iran now are the reformists who believe that the the goverment’s action now has nothing to do with what really the people of 30 years ago demanded.

I’m wondering if Mousavi knows that the people want a democratic society and not a Islamic gov’t. He keeps talking about the constitution that is imbeded with Islam. The peolpe want to free themselves of shiria law and the oppression it stands for. The gov’t should be a rule of law gov’t free of Islam. Until that happens Iran will never be free! It must seperate the two while allowing freedom of religion. 30 years ago they voted for Islam because that was the only thing available to them as a choice and now a new generation, after living with it for 30 years has decided it doesn’t work and want to be truly free. In order for a country to survive it must preserve it’s history and not cover it up with religion. Free enterprise is one of the only ways for the economy to survive. That will allow people to feel they are in charge of thier own destiny and that of thier families destiny. Depending on the gov’t for your next meal is degrading to people and then when the gov’t doesn’t follow through it build contempt. Iran needs to free them selves from this mullah gov’t or it will never be a free thriving country period.
