  • Ok, if the students and the rest of the population KNOW that the Ayatollah's have absolute power then why are people 'rising up' against the puppet/Head PR dude?

    Who's behind this?

  • The evidence seems to be that the people are behind it, lead by university students.

    Moussavi has been playing a bigger coordinating role in the last few days, but for the first few days, he was just following.

    You could argue that the Rafsanjani/Khatami/Moussavi troika is running the thing by creating the political space.....

  • This just smells like what Bush I did to the Iraqi's at the end of '91. Sure, rise up against the Status Quo.

    Draw out the rebels and kill them.

  • I really don't get the impression Khameini wants to kill a lot of people. It would look bad. No doubt he'd like to get rid of a few of the organizers though.
