Q: In your opinion is Mousavi really the only hope? He was never really a reformer before — so how is it that he became the hope for people to such a degree?
A: I don’t think he is the only hope and the best option but I do think that’s what these people want and need right now. They can’t aim for a huge change and started marching against the Islamic republic of Iran, but they can get to the point they like with these changes and these small changes. Plus I think right now the issue is more how they’ve been treated and lied to and.. So they want there right back more than anything and in this process Moussavi has suddenly become the face and the leader. They voted for him and now they want their vote to be realized. I also think he is a bit different now, not that his way of thinking or ideas has totally changed and his super open minded person but he has changed, and I strongly believe his wife is the power behind all that.
Emphasis mine. There has been much mention of Moussavi’s wife. This communication gives weight to the argument that Moussavi does indeed represent change from the existing regime. It’s interesting to hear how many women are among the demonstrators.
These people are very brave and know that thie lives hang in the balance. There is some indication that elements of the military won’t fire upon the protestors. Is this more prevelant than the regime wants us to know.
