MORE PROOF THE IRANIAN REBELLION IS SPONTANEOUS AND POPULAR AND NOT AN INSIDE JOB

Khatami Joins With Mousavi

From Hot Air:

If the Iranian mullahs expected the opposition movement to die out, in some cases literally, they got a big shock today from within their ruling class.  Mohammed Khatami, a former president of Iran, has apparently switched sides and joined Mirhossein Mousavi in demanding new elections for Iran.  Khatami went even further, accusing the Supreme Leader and Guardian Council of conducting a “coup”:

Iran’s former president has joined ranks with the country’s embattled reformist presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, and accused the Iranian government of failing its people in the recent election and condemning the subsequent crackdown on protesters.

In a bold, lengthy statement Wednesday on his Web site, Mousavi said he considered Iran’s cleric-led government illegitimate and demanded political prisoners be released, while saying Iran’s government needs to institute electoral reforms and ensure press freedoms.

Former President Mohammad Khatami, meanwhile, lashed out at what he termed “a poisonous security situation” in the wake of violent street protests.

Khatami accused Iran’s leadership of a “velvet coup against the people and democracy,” and Mousavi said the government’s crackdown on demonstrators was “tantamount to a coup.”

HUMANS DON'T LIKE ISLAMO-FASCISM.

IF THEY DID, THEN THEY'D HAVE NEVER STRAYED AWAY SINCE THE TIME OF MOHAMED.

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE SOME CRACKPOTS USE TERROR TO FORCE POPULATIONS TO ADHERE TO STRICT ISLAM, AND THEN AFTER A GENERATION OR TWO THEY'VE HAD ENOUGH.

THIS IMPULSE - THE IMPULSE FOR LIBERTY IS DEEP IS THE HEARTS AND MINDS - NAY THE SOULS OF EVERY MAN.

EXCEPT THOSE BRAINWASHED.

EXPOSING PEOPLE TO THE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND TO A FREE MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS IS HOW THIS PART OF OUR SOUL IS REAWAKENED AND HOW ISLAMO-NUTSIE POPULATIONS GET DEPROGRAMMED.

THE IRANIAN YOUTH - LIKE THE EAST GERMAN OF THE 1980'S - KNOW OUR WAY OF LIFEI S BETTER AND THEY WANT IT AS MUCH AS WE DO.
