SPOKESMAN FOR MOUSSAVI EXPLAINS HIS APPROACH IN THE GUARDIAN

Here is an amazing article in The Guardian by Mohsen Makhmalbaf speaking on behalf of Mir Hussein Moussavi.

Makhmalbaf writes:

"The world views us as a terrorist nation on the lookout for war. When Khatami was president of Iran, Bush was president of the US. Now the Americans have Obama and we have our version of Bush. We need an Obama who can find solutions for Iran's problems."

Moussavi, according to Makhmalbaf, has changed from being a revolutionary to a leader who is looking not to confront other nations but to integrate Iran into the world community:

"Previously, he was revolutionary, because everyone inside the system was a revolutionary. But now he's a reformer. Now he knows Gandhi – before he knew only Che Guevara. If we gain power through aggression we would have to keep it through aggression. That is why we're having a green revolution, defined by peace and democracy."

HOUSE VIOLATES OBAMA'S POLICY OF NOT "MEDDLING" IN IRANIAN ELECTION

Think Progress reports on the resolution adopted by the House supporting the Iranian protesters who support Mir Hussein Moussavi.

Why must the House go on record as supporting the demonstrators in Iran? Iranians are not holding up signs asking for American "help." The resolution of the House is a good pretext for the Ahmadi forces to quell the peaceful demonstration with force. If it can be shown that Americans are "for" the anti-Ahmadi candidate, Moussavi, then I, if I were Iranian, would switch sides and support Ahmadinejad.
