Reports from across Iran are stating about the massive welcoming of President George W. Bush's inaugural speech and his promise of helping to bring down the last outposts of tyranny.
Millions of Iranians have been reported as having stayed home, on Thursday night which is their usual Weekend and outgoing night, in order to see or hear the Presidential speech and the comments made by the Los Angeles based Iranian satellite TV and radio networks, such as, NITV or KRSI.
The speech and its package of hope have been, since late yesterday night and this morning, the main topics of most Iranians' conversations during their familial and friendly gatherings, in the collective taxis and buses, as well as, among groups of young Iranians who gather outside the cities on the Fridays.
Many were seen showing the " V " sign or their raised fists. Talks were focused on steps that need to be taken in order to use the first time ever favorable International condition.
Many Iranians, who were looking for the World's super power firm moral support and financial aid to credible secularist opposition groups, are now becoming sure that Mr. Bush's agenda is indeed to help them to gain Freedom, Secularity and Democracy. They do believe correctly that such way will avoid an unnecessary US invasion or military strike against Iranian facilities which will help the Mullahcracy to consolidate its illegitimate and unpopular power, while causing heavy financial damages and human causalities.
What had always been missing in order to create a wide scale Iranian democratic revolution, such as what happened in Georgia, was till now a firm and noticeable World pressure on the Islamic regime and a trustable Opposition Council with a correct agenda.
Various reports from underground groups are stating that Iranians will be increasing the Civil Disobedience Movement by making more strikes and demos in the days ahead.
There's a lot of propaganda coming out of not only out of the mullahs but from some of these activist groups which overstate their support.
Thanks Michael Moore. Who asked for your liberal facist opinion?
Military no. Moral support, yes.
Care to explain this world poll where Iranians are the most pro-Bush in the entire world? Far more than England, Germany, Spain, etc.

You need to get caught up on current events.
Oh brother, There are many liberals on Fr these days
You could say that again. :)
They won't welcome bombing and military occupation. That is for sure!
The Iranians never welcome any foreign intervention in their way to democracy but they would appreciate any foreign moral support!
NOW GEORGE!! ITS TIME TO HELP THEM!!!
President Bush means it F44, and some of us really do understand what he was saying. Americans are not looking for power or hegemony. We know that we have to communicate our desire to spread liberty around the world, or else face a very dark progression of human events. In this post-WW2 world, there is no one to surrender, no one to offer a ceremony of capitulation. It's up to every individual. America does have freedom to offer when and where it is wanted. We just need to relight the love of it in people like Iranians.
Bump!
I hope we see more dramatic action in Iran. It will further sober up Kim Jong-il and his Chinese patron, too
