He also gabbed on about the foreign spies whipping up the crowds of protestors and that all Iranians are too good to fall for this interference from foreign devils.
The man is another Hitler/Geobbels combo.
The onehundred thousand souls in the auditorium with him were more or less his cheer squad. Every few sentences they would 'spontaneously' erupt with chants and cheers.
It is painfully obvious that the Iranians have no mechanism for expressing themselves to their dear leader.
To sum up his two hour speech: "I am your leader, it doesn't matter who is president, I am the leader here."
Many, many of those people in the auditorium were bussed in from outside Tehran. Iranian version of rent-a-mob.
In my mind it is a matter of whether or not the mullahs are able to control Moussavi. In the major cities, Imanutjob is not well liked and if the mullahs preceive that there could be more potential bloodshed over it.. they may dump him in favor of Moussavi. BUT... they still want assurances that Iran will remain an Islamic regime. What is interesting in the photos that I’ve witnessed, is not too many women wearing the hajib... which is contrary to the commands of the mullahs. It may be that the people are looking for more than just getting rid of Imanutjob, and demanding more freedom from the oppressive religious requirements.
The Iranians are smarter and more sophisticated than your average Arab. They’ve experienced the western cultural world and they like it... and they want it.
