He thinks he knows which way the wind is blowing. Initially he was in their court now in US court. Wind is stronger this side, he thinks.

Iranians vs. Arabs

I think there are a number of reasons why the Arabs are able to overthrow their governments or to keep up the pressure and Iranians are not.  I totally disagree that the reason is racial or cultural.  I really hope that we stop this chauvinistic attitude among Iranians in ridiculing everyone who doesn't belong to our clan.  I'm digressing.  Back to the point.  I think the most important reason is that the Green movement in Iran is a middle class movement and middle class by definition is conservative.  Simply stated the middle class is too educated and potentially well off to have nothing to lose.  The people who we see in the streets of the Arab world dying are for the most part the poor.  Unless the Greens manage to drag out the poor (labor) this revolution in Iran is not going anywhere.  The Baseej and the IRG are also largely from the poor.

Yoda, hirre, Iranians have lost their confidence.

They are not prepared to fight and die for something they do not know how it will end up.  After ther bad experience with the last revolution and the 8 years war it brought them.  Not to mention corrupt islamic authorities.

The Key that you are not seeing is that Iranians need a leader to believe in.  The Shah can ot be that leader because the USA, France, UK, Germany which brought us the mullahs still want Islam in power for Iran, to keep it backwards and weak.  So he has been told to keep it quiet.  Look what happened to the Shahs brother, who was the only voice in the family wanting his older brother to start rallying support within Iran.

2 bullets to the head and the family went on tv to say it was suicide.  What else can they do, except expose to all Iranians that the west has no intention of helping iranians have a free democratic choice by constantly calling on the west to support the people of iran that want a secular system but with zero support?

The USA, France, UK, Germany wake up every morning and laugh all the way to the democracy and human rights bank, which gave us the IRI and made them rich.

Brutality brings nothing else than brutality

We Iranians had the sad experience 32 years ago, Arabs didn't !

The strategy of people now is how to put down the brutal regime slowly but surely and then finally rule by themselves. 

That's a huge difference with Syria and Libyia that we learned after 32 years of darkness.

Har kessi ranj barad, ganj barad! in one sentence. 

The green movement vs the arabs

More and more I think there is a big difference between arabs and iranians when it comes to determination...

Let's look at Syria e.g..... during the recent month people have kept protesting over and over again. The regime has not only used the same methods that the iranian regime have used, but now has extended its force by using military resources... More that 700 people have been killed and they are still being killed... Obviously the arabs never stop, they don't care how many lives are used for the revolution, as long as they succed with their goal, they fight everyday until either they have won or they are dead... Maybe centuries ago it was this mentality that finally led to the arab conquest of the persian empire...

Iranians could learn a little about the street mentality of the arab people (they somehow remind us of the revolution mentality in Iran >30 years ago). Unfortunately the greater iranian masses complain more about food and gas-prices than actually supporting the rallies that the green movement tries to plan...
