FINAL SECRET RECIPE: NON-LEADER LEADERSHIP
by be-ghotb (not verified) on Mon Jun 29, 2009 02:11 AM PDTfor the love of God;
for the love of Humanity;
for the love of Iran;
Iranians must stop their ancient dependency on following a leader (a rahbar). It has been the root of all evil (bad bakhty)in Iran's history.
I am making my last plea to ALL Iranians with the following secret recipe to reach the ultimate freedom this nation is yearning for.
Iranians must stop looking, creating and following a leader (rahbar)once for ALL. Iran must shut down its ancient factory of constantly producing dictators after dictators.
Iranians must kick this thousands year old ADDICTION to a leader/rahbar.
Without kicking this old habit Iran will NEVER be free. NEVER.
Here's the secret recipe:
Every Iranian must become a his/her-own leader, but in harmony (ham aahang) as ONE society.
The secret recipe is a reflection of the human body.
Human body is an example of a perfect society. All organs are distinctive and function individually without any conflicts with each other yet in harmony as ONE society. There is no leader organ; every organ is as important and essential as the next one.
If only Iranians could cognize this ever perfect model that universe has put before us they will be empowered to eradicate this ancient imprisonment forever.
Please, please communicate and encourage every Iranian to consider this recipe and make Iran a role model to the rest of the world.
Don't wait for someone to claim or impose a leadership. Everyone must become a leader but in harmony with each other.
This is not an idealist dream. It's the only recipe to free Iranians from this persistent inherited plague.
Start a movement of NON-LEADER LEADERSHIP (rahbariyeh be rahbar) - the ultimate freedom.
A movement of BADAN...

Who is this charlatan indeed?
by really sick of this dude (not verified) on Mon Jun 29, 2009 12:14 AM PDTRepresenting the people of Iran...? Veghahat ham andazeh dareh. It's bad enough that he says he represents Mousavi.
And as a film maker he is just as much of a charlatan. He is a fraud and an embarassment.
Good Point
by Winston (not verified) on Sun Jun 28, 2009 10:14 PM PDTMr. Mousavi should LEAD people. Check this article today

He can become Iran's Boris Yeltsin. I hope he can be.
"az tarafe mardome iran"!!! he says.
by Anonymously on Sun Jun 28, 2009 10:12 PM PDTwhy is everybody and their uncle speaking on MY behalf?
this is outrageous coming from a self-proclaimed representative of Mousavi's campaign. he has to resort to youtube to communicate with Mousavi!!, or was this just a publicity stunt to further his own cause (whatever that may be). and who is he speaking on behalf of? is claiming "president mousavi" any different than the other side claiming "president ahmadinejad"? even Mousavi hasn't gone so far as to claim that HE was elected... he is only calling for a re-election.
Such gibberish and pandemonium from a desperate opposition! It truly is sad.
Mr. Makhmalbluff... on behalf of the people of Iran, please stick with your day job!
This is bigger than Mousavi
by Fair on Sun Jun 28, 2009 08:16 PM PDTWhile I give credit to this man for saying he will not back down, it is not correct to say that the majority want him as the president, even if he won the election. Rather, the majority want him over the other 3 "officially approved" candidates. Big difference.
Fate has put Mousavi in this position, but he is a symptom, not a cause. This movement is way bigger than Mousavi. But like any movement, it is most effective when it has an organization and strategy and control, and if Mousavi is willing and able to take on that role, then great. If not, we will find someone else and we won't stop. Not now.
The mullahs are finished and they know it. It is a matter of time now.

Mousavi and Karoubi deserve
by Nima1 (not verified) on Sun Jun 28, 2009 05:27 PM PDTMousavi and Karoubi deserve a united support from outside of Iran as they have recieved from within Iran. There is no comparison between these leaders and Khomeini. Mousavi respects women's rights as we have seen from the prominent role his wife plays currently. He is also not blinded by religion, does not want confrontation with the west, the list of differences is long... also the new generation that support Mousavi is guided by a very mature view towards religion, theocracy, and recognize the importance of secularism; the 1970s generation was not.
My question from those who do not recognize Mousavi as the rightful leader of this movement is who should lead if not him? He has earned this leadership spot very fairly and couragously. Sure he is from within the system but is it possible for a leader from outside the system to start a movement against IRI from within Iran? If you point out a problem, come up with a solution as well. What is at the core of your criticism?

Mousavi is an accidental leader, but...
by Concerned Iranian (not verified) on Sun Jun 28, 2009 03:35 PM PDTMousavi is an accidental leader, but we should heed his call if he calls on us. Th majority, who elected him wanted him to rule, to lead. So, let him lead. Let him order us to the streets, to strike, etc. He is the leader of Iran, because he would have won and become a leader of all Iranians. He should take charge. If he doesn't. Or if he can't, then we should not have elected him as our president.

Fundamental problem
by Fair on Sun Jun 28, 2009 11:48 AM PDTOnce again, the fundamental problem is that all candidates, Mousavi included, are supporters of the system of velayat-e-faghih, and have unconditional loyalty for Khomeini. Once again, a "reformer" must choose between the people and the anti-people system.
Let us assume that Mousavi is sympathetic and privately would like to lead, but can't. Maybe it is time to set up contingency leadershp plans for the opposition in case he is arrested, or "convinced" to back down (which seems to be the case).
Today is 2009. Let history show that this coup has hapenned 56 years after the 1953 one, was engineered only by Iranians and no foreigners, and was much more brutal.
The enemies of democracy for Iran have been many over time.
