Thoughts on Green-arm-band revolution
Brutal oppression by the Iranian state after a muddied election is a clear indication that religion must be kept separate from state.
Contrary to common misconception, separation of Mullah and state, is more for the protection of religion and less for the protection of the state.
I wish the holy himself Ayatullah sahiban had kept themselves out of the mess that is called politics. That way Nejat and Mossavi would be two ordinary politicians and not some sent-from-heaven God incarnates or appointees of God incarnates.
Iranians made a massive mistake when they went for Ayatullah run regime after so bloodily getting rid of Shah run regime. This was like out of frying pan and into the fire.
Shah was brutal, but his pro-global views meant that Iranian economy was one of the bestest in the region.
Ayataullah run regime is equally oppressive and brutal, but the economy is in the sewer. Thus clearly a lose lose option for the ordinary Iranian.
I hope Nejat steps down and stops the oppression of pro-Mossavi protestors. This is not good for Iran, and certainly not good for the region. We don't want to see another wave of Iranian refugees running to Pakistan, just like what happened after 1979 revulsive revolution.
For those who want to blame the West, or find conspiracies in this mess, quit living in dream world.
Mossavi is no angel, and talking about this holy-mess is by no means supporting mossavi.
It is just that Iranian people or Swatis, no one in the world deserves to be oppressed and brutalized by the dimwit Mullahs. That's all.
