I don’t know about you, but I don’t buy what happened in Iran yesterday, as real opposition. This is not genuine. Look at Egypt, the people are still hanging around Tahrir Square. People have that look on their faces we saw when other historical events took place, like collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989. And then the Ayatollahs thought it was Islam too. Did any Egyptian thank the reformed Ayatollahs? No. So the answer is that the Ayatollah system have a fake opposition that fills the shoes of an “opposition” in the world press. The world press does not show the real silent majority in opposition. In fact the silent majority believe in Iranian culture. This culture does not believe in street theater. They hate the camera and how it can lie. The Ayatollahs’ crew love the cameras. So they put on a big Green show. Well it is a fake. Ok some people say that we had a lot of secular Iran First types there. They will point to a video of Basiji getting beaten up. But even there you will see clean shaved Iranians keeping cool after a while. So you ask me, “when is it real”. I say look at cultural events that have been around for tens of thousands of years. They will include all Iranians for ever and ever. And nobody can deny that. And if you don’t know what these cultural events are, then you don’t love Iran.
