Hopes Crushed

It looks as though the hardliners have got their way in Iran and the rebellion looks to be faltering, by sheer force the protestors have been overwhelmed. In yesterdays protest in the centre of Tehran the security forces outnumbered protestors by at least ten to one according to the snippets of information leaking out of there. I really do hope that the opposition can galvanise themselves for one more massive push one more defiant gesture, the longer they can keep momentum the greater the chance of others joining them. their is talk of a general strike, depending on how long and how widespread it is that could be the way to go, when it comes to confrontation in the streets, the government are to well organised and to well armed, if protestors start to appear on the streets armed to there could be a massacre. I can never understand how in situations like this the Army can turn on it’s own population, to fire upon the very people they are charged with defending, troops should  be used against a foreign enemy not your own brothers and sisters, this action alone shows how desperate the mad Mullah’s are to cling to power. let us hope that  the military come to their senses and refuse the order to kill their own countrymen, after all without the guns The Mullahs have no control.
