I respect the protesters’ passion. It is very sad that it is now fairly certain that they are pawns in somebody else’s game.
Mousavi declared victory even before vote was counted. British officials said “there is a talk of green revolution” even before the polls started. The vigor (and bias) with which the Western Media portrays Mousavi makes it clear that they love him. I see no “visible reason” why that should. Mousavi’s history is quite anti-west and unclean. His backer, Rafsanjani (who has a very positive wiki article about him- something I noticed about Sonal Shah too) is accused of corruption, and is afraid that there may be an enquiry.
It all fits in.
Please do not fall victim to propaganda.
I do not support imposition of dress code or moral police, but colonization is far worse than that. I am from India, you see. The regions of India that were direclty ruled by the british (Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and so on) came out with their social, economic and every kind of fabric utterly torn. The ones that were ruled by local rulers (Nawabs) came out much more intact.
