The death spiral of the Islamic Republic, as it is currently interpreted. Let us not forget that the “leaders” of the Green Movement have no intention in breaking down the Islamic nature of any future government and, also, let us not forget that Mr. Moussavi was instrumental in organizing and empowering Hezbollah. This may just be another form of the true and tested NYPD method of good cop, bad cop; cops nonetheless. Will there be any palpable change in a new and improved Islamic hue in matters of foreign policy and domestic freedoms, I am not sure. All I know, albeit simplistically, is that as long as the Islamic tag is attached to the regime, there will be no freedom for the Iranian people and it will still be an existential threat to Israel. I sense that these leaders regard all those brave Iranians who are giving their lives for change as just “useful idiots”. My gut tells me that the Moussavis and Karoubis see the Green Movement as a convenient and domestic version of Felix Dzerzhinski’s “The Trust”. Believe me, there is no one alive who would like to see these criminals face justice more than I. But my pessimism does not allow me to anticipate that joyful day in my lifetime, especially under the current US administration which has tasked even our Space Agency (NASA? You must be kidding!) to appease Islam!! Go figure!
