The statement still does not go far enough for some Republicans and Democrats, as well as democrats in Iran looking for more US support. My Iranian friends would agree. They say they are neither for the Islamic Republic, nor Mousavi supporters. Both are Islamists and they call for a republic, which separates what belongs to God (church) and what belongs to Caesar (state).
With general strike possibilities in the air and clashes reported near the Iranian parliament today, we can all smell the winds of change in Iran. That is, the same winds of change that were blowing for the oppressed peoples of Eastern Europe before the fall of the Marxist-Leninist Soviet Union.
