Today Friday 18 June 1388And here's something else you probably haven't seen. A Mousavi campaign video:
Tomorrow Saturday is very important; Day of destiny.
Tonight the screams of “God is great” [Allah-o Akbar]
is louder than on any other night.
Where is this place?
Where is this place that all paths are closed? All doors are shut?
Where is this place that no one helps us?
Where is this place that we shout out our words with only silence?
Where is this place?
Where is this place that its people’s only call is to God?
Where is this place that its cry of Allah-o Akbar ["God is Great"]
Grows louder and louder every minute?
Every day I wait to see if at night
The cries of “God is Great” grows louder or not.
I tremble as I hear them getting louder and louder.
I do not know if God trembles too or not.
Where is this place that we the innocents are stuck in [imprisoned]?
Where is this place that no one can help us?
where is this place that we are only shouting out our words with silence?
Where is this place that the youth are killed and people stand in the street and pray?
They stand in the blood and pray.
Where is this place that people are called [vagrants] trouble makers?
Where is this place?
Do you want me to tell you?
It is Iran.
It is my home land and your home land.
It is Iran.
Watch out.
Are they trying to shake off chains and oppression? Yes. Are they just like us? No. Should we support them? Yes. Can you even imagine their courage? I don't think you really can.
UPDATE: And you need to go read Ledeen today. Tyranny is the most unstable form of government. No kidding.

I totally agree that we can't imagine the kind of courage it takes to stand up to that level of oppression.
ReplyDeleteI just viewed the video you posted above about Mousavi and his wife. She's remarkable and inspiring. I didn't know anything about her, frankly. She said:
"If you need surgery you don't have dominion over your own body. You must get a man's permission."
If that doesn't about sum up everything.
