"Many Tehran residents.... want to remove them from power.... We have no other option"
"Divisions test mettle of Iran’s opposition; Movement differs on scope of change" by Thomas Erdbrink, Washington Post | November 16, 2009
ALWAYS REMEMBER, readers:
The Washington Post is the CIA 's newspaper
It gives you the PROPER CONTEXT for EVERY AGENDA-PUSHING PIECE!
TEHRAN - Iran’s opposition movement appears rudderless and divided....
Although there is no way to measure how widespread the sentiments on both sides are, Iranians involved in the movement say growing numbers of protesters are refusing to compromise with the ruling hierarchy, a system of Shi’ite religious and political rule ushered in by Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution, which ended a 2,500-year-old monarchy....
Yeah, NO MENTION of Operation Ajax or IRAN'S DEMOCRACY before the CIA COUP OVERTHREW it at the behest of Britain's BP!
Strange how the WaPo leaves that out, huh?
But many protesters have gone beyond questioning the election outcome, more than a dozen opposition supporters said in interviews. Fearing retribution, all insisted on being identified only by their first names....
Many Tehran residents who oppose President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are taking a harder line against Iran’s leaders and want to remove them from power, several protesters said....
“I don’t want to save the Islamic republic,’’ said Reza, 28, an engineer. “I want a total change, something close to a revolution.’’
Yeah, REVOLUTIONS are OKAY for IRANIANS but NOT AmeriKans!!!!
Other interviewees made similar comments, saying that extreme violence unleashed by the government against protesters has hardened their views about Iran’s leaders. “They will not change,’’ said Mohammad, a computer specialist who was fired from his job for supporting the demonstrations. “We have no other option than removing them from power.’’
“But I really don’t know how we should do that,’’ he added....
I'm with him on that one.
Of one thing I am sure: KEEP IT NONVIOLENT, Americans, or else you PLAY INTO THE TOTALITARIANS HANDS!!!!!!
“We need to show that we are not afraid of anybody,’’ said Paria, 28, a linguist who has participated in all the opposition demonstrations, “and continue to inform people of what is happening in this society.’’
****************
Others in the opposition movement favor gradual change and caution against pressing extreme demands.... Some protesters warn against fueling suspicions, fearing that radical actions could backfire. “We should take this step by step,’’ said Ali, 29, an architect who recently married. “If we become extreme, we will alienate many of our supporters.’’
Extremists? Someone say extremists?
Others disagreed, saying all forms of peaceful protests must be allowed....
That's all they were talking about. WTF?
In the government’s view, such protests confirm suspicions that the opposition wants to topple Iran’s political system as part of what authorities call a foreign-backed plot.
Yeah, it has ONLY HAPPENED TO THEM BEFORE (oh, right, WaPo concealing that from you)!!!
More than 100 politicians, dissidents, and students have been accused, and some have been convicted of organizing such purported conspiracies.
Oh, they are now "conspiracies!"
When the U.S. NEWS MEDIA starts HOLLERING CONSPIRACY you KNOW they are COVERING UP the TRUTH!!!!!!!
Oh, right, it's WaPo!
