I share Nikahang's concern: that we may end up reading Mousavi's 300th statement on the 10th anniversary of the election. Until no practical strategy is developed, statements have no force regardless of the content.
I do share the same concern.
However, I am a realist. I think we have been detached from realities on the ground, being somewhat excited by the bravity of some of our youth.
The reality I hear from anyone coming from Iran is so different. People have lives, family and they run from dawn to dust to bring some bread to their family. Risks are too high and people do not find going out there worth it. They hate IRI and they are really hurt with stealing their votes and everything. But they are not willing to risk their lives and family for an unknown future.
I believe, had our people known that IRI would have acted so harshly, they would not have even demonstrated like in 25th Khordad. Many killed were not there to be killed, except few brave souls among youth. That is the reality we close our eyes on. And that is reality Mousavi and co. know for sure. IRI knows this too. It is a checkmate for green now in terms of doing any change via street demonstrations.
People are not even willing to topple mullahs with high risks. They say so what if they go? We know all politicians eventually will be theives.
So unless you picture a clear future where you can guarantee a corruption free and free atmosphere, without having to wait years for improvement of economic situation, no one is going to risk anything.
However, there is one hope that keeps people hopeful and green so called leaders active. They are after some breakthrough. Some event or some developement that would weaken the regime such that toppling regime (for people) or reinstating reform (for green leaders) becomes possible with far less risks. Say celebrations of Khamenei's death or some rift among the goverment. I am not sure what. But it is a dead end now!
Please bear in mind, I am not blaming people for not risking and I am not even saying they should. We hate IRI and want mullahs to go, the sooner the better. But I like many inside Iran, do not like the risks and do not have a clear picture of what is going to come, either with Mousavi or anyone else. However, with little risk, I like to give it a go.
For those who put the whole blame on Mousavi and co. They also turn a blind eye on how he and Karoubi think. Babam Jaan, they are the leaders of green, beleiving that people believe in what they believe, i.e. an imaginary Khomeini era where constitution is there with a wise Faghih on top etc. etc. Are they dillusioned? yes. Are people dillusioned? Somewhat. People like them because they think if somehow they manage to bring Mousavi and co. to power, they will be able to seize the oppotunity of a somewhat more open society to develope it to something better
"over the time".
Otherwise, if Mousavi and co. realize what you guys in the outsie want will be realized with green victory they will resign from green tomorrow. They are content that people might give them a chance to give that transient system in hope of showing they can give what people want, avoiding the mistakes of the past. Or perhaps they think without war and MKO's threat they can give enough to content people.
So the bottom line is realism, realism, realism and avoid WOW and excitement to blur your vision and think that there are millions of die hard anti-mullah protestors ready to march on, awaiting one command from Mousavi to do. That is dillusional. At most we have thousands like that and regime has enough troops to mach ten time that. However, on the other hand, regime is also dillusional. The days millions marched in their support and thousands fought for them with their lives are over. They have mercenaries and corrupted supporters who will, at any time, change sides, if they see it fit.
