If there are any, they have been drowned out by his insults of other FReepers and of conservatives in general.
You realize that Mousavi is nothing more than a kinder and gentler Ahmadinejad right.
Even if that were true (which I haven't verified to my satisfaction yet), that doesn't detract from the facts on the ground that Ahmadinejad and his followers are gunning down peaceful protestors to cement in place the results of a probably fraudulent election.
By your logic, we ought to support Obama, since John McCain just said he is doing a good job as President.
Cheers!
Well, insults and name-calling are pretty much the par for course here. You've been here 5 years you should know that already.

So you didn't know Mousavi was actually the Iranian PM in the 1980s and was probably a bigger bad-ass than Ahmadinejad is now. Pitiful.

No, it doesn't. But you have to look at the bigger picture though. The President of Iran is just a figurehead; the Ayatollah holds the real power. Had Mousavi won, he'd still would have called for the destruction of Israel and antagonized the West anyway, albeit with a smiley face.

No, I'm saying it's best to let events play out in Iran on its own.
