MOUSAVI APPEALS TO THE WORLD TO PARTICIPATE IN SEA OF GREEN IN IN ALL CAPITAL CITIES THIS SUNDAY

Tehran is alive with the sound of people on their balcony shouting Hearing MUCH much stronger than any other day... Waiting for tomorrow!

Strange.. this night the power of Down With Dictator and Mousavi is at least tripled!

It is Down with Dictator time. U dont need a clock to tell it,a window to a street and an ear will do.

confirmed: Mousavi asked his supporters don't go to Friday prayer, next scheduling is Saturday in Enqlab sq @ 4 pm

BBC Caller:I voted 4 Ahmadinejad,wanna know why they kill innocent kids?my vote become a bullet&I'm responsible 4 the blood.

Hospital source - increase in admission of people injured and beaten by Baseej - all Tehran hospitals in high alert

Hospital source - 12 killed and 29 injured on Monday in Azadi Sq

Ignore rumors that Khamenei is not attending Friday prayer. He is: http://bit.ly/49uG6Y protestors to attend wearing black.

Facebook these days is acting as the mosques during the Islamic revolution!

Big traffic jam in Modarres highway and most of the cars are showing V sign from the windows(not the OS!viva Linux!)

eyewitness:"each time I decide to go I think maybe this time there aren't that much people...but each time there is even more!"

Police presence was EXTREMELY high in today's Toopkhune rally. Witnesses reporting uncountable number of gaurds

People carrying pictures of the martyrs of recent days in the rally today.

Imam Khomeini Sq. was great ... slow start but when things got on their way, there was no stopping the Green Wave!! Mousavi showed up too!!

According to contacts, today's demonstration was amazing. Basij and Ansar now fear massive retaliation by the public.

If the Ayatollahs are smart, they will ultimately move to protect their own existence by calling for a new election and installing Mousavi. That would end the uprising and they would cling to their power.

It looks like they’ve realized that their initial violent reaction was only strengthening the revolution, and it looks like they may — may — have stepped back. But Mousavi is apparently directly challenging the authority of the “Supreme Leader” now. If the Ayatollahs continue to resist the revolution, then they will be swept away. And it may — again, may — be too late for them to strike a bargain with Mousavi to give up some of their control in order to retain power, diminished as it may be.

Ditto.

My support if for Persia with an Ataturk at the helm, and the Islamofascist clerics at the business end of a noose.

Hopefully the people realize that this guy isn’t all he’s cracked up to be.

These are Iran's version of America's civil rights protests of the 1960’s.

Many of those civil rights protesters in the 1960’s put Obammie in office.

Where are they now?
Where is he now?

Oh, that's right, it was only an anti-establishment movement, topple those in power and replace them with leftists...who are the enemy of civil rights.

What the US and NATO need to do is to tell the Islamic Republican Guards to either stay out of this or face military action against the IRCG and other regime targets. Any mass action against protesters will be met with a swift response.

Yes, the Chinese protesters based it on our own Statue of Liberty.
Not bad for a time when Clinton was going around the world apologizing for America, much as 0bama is doing now.

As a Texan and an American, I find those Austin liberals supporting democracy for Iran offensive! Where were they for the past 6 years of the Iraq War?

kinda sad, isn't it

Words do not serve....

Wow.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! Moussavi is a pawn of the mullahs just like Ahmadinejihad. Any support I’d offer would be for the Iranians born after 1979. The rest can go to hell.
