The Dawn of a New Day in Iran
:
What will happen now?
A new day is beginning in Tehran. The stories of the brutality are just sickening. I just received word from one person whose intergrity is beyond reproach. At a hospital in Tehran, the number of people with broken bones and bodies were too much to count. There were also five persons confirmed dead at the same hospital. Another eyewitness tells of wanting to help an old woman who was beaten by the regime's goons and was threatened to be shot if he did not move on. Such is the state of things in Iran right now.
Khameini made a conscious decision to shoot his way to preservation. This decision has betrayed the very Constitution he fought for, the beliefs that he has as a clergy for the sake of power. He and his side kick, idiotnejad, view their right to govern as "divine". That "divine" right was gone forever when they decided to shoot on people who only wanted to speak up for their rights. They seem to forget one little factor: The people of Iran.
Mousavi came out with his declaration that he is prepared to die. I continued to truly wonder why this man decided to come back. I listened to his thoughts to truly understand him. This is one of three clips that truly moved me:
Although the clip is in Farsi, the truth was told. The people's desparation truly came out. Mousavi became a symbol of this need for change. I was a bit disappointed when Mr. Obama came out and said that there is not much change between Mousavi and Idiotnejad. Although I understand the diplomatic tightrope, the need to speak up is now. Mr. Obama seems to understand it now with the warning given to the Iranian Regime. I do wonder if he or his staff had bothered listening to these videos that sought to introduce Mr. Mousavi to back to the Iranian Nation. Mousavi, in one of his narrations, talks about how the will of the Majlis (the Parliament) was subverted by idiotnejad. This reminded me of the Bush Years when Mr. Bush signed over 700 signing statements disregarding portions of the law that the Congress had passed. In another one of these clips, Mousavi directly attacks idiotnejad for disregarding the advise of the Professional Diplomatic Staff to go to Switerzland to make that idiotic speech that prompted a massive walkout at the UN Human Rights Conference. Mousavi directly challenged the so-called President and his master to explain what was done with 300 Billion Dollars of Oil Revenue that was just spent with nothing to show for it. In one of his clips, there is a voice-over from Ayatollah Khomeini where he reminds all Government Ministers of their profound responsibility to insure that they take care of the people. Khameini, the loyal student, has betrayed even this. How can he expect to claim the mantle of Khomeini?
In his Friday sermon, Khameini accused Mousavi and others of lying about the record of Idiotnejad's Government. Yet, he is the one who lied. He betrayed the very principles that he is supposed to uphold. I wrote about it and directly laid out certain key questions that the ruling clique in Tehran seem to not want to answer. If the regime in fact succeeds in shooting its' way to short term preservation, there remains but one choice: Isolation. It can work, because history does show that the will of the International Community can work. It took a long time in Zimbabwe partly because the Chinese were one of the Butcher Mugabe's long-time Supporters. But change did occur. Iran is not Zimbabwe. The young are crying out for a better life. The World has to take notice and must have the strength to deal with this rogue regime that has shown its true colors.
As the day begins in Tehran, there is one key question for me right now: What will Rafsanjani do?
