Its several days now since the demonstrations and protests started over the outcome of the Iran's Presidential election and today Iran's Council of Guardians, the panel of clerics who act as the country's top political authority, have invited opposition candidates to share their grievances in Iran's disputed election. seems all quarters of Iranian life wants everyone with power to act now to resolve the ongoing political drama in Iran.
Whats more interesting is to watch all the Western Media coverage over this issue, so many commentaries ,assessments and analysis given throughout the day by an extensive panel irrespective of what news agency you watch.. but strangely most majority of the 'experts' tend to be westerners themselves and hardly any Iranians, locals nor expatriate Iranians! BBC i think takes pride in showing repeatedly the 'death to the dictator' and some other slogans which BBC interprets as 'anti-revolution',while CNN can't let go of its 'experts' from Christian Science Monitor.
Makes me wonder, it may be the Iranian public or least a section of the public who may be protesting over the outcome but its the Western Governments ,especially Mrs.Clinton who seems to be having sleepless nights over this 'crisis' and right wing Israeli politicians who are feeling the pain of the chaos in Tehran...and suddenly North Korea is benign, Kim Jong IL is not toying with the 'button' .. nor Taliban at the 'gates of Islamabad' is irrelevant.
It was the same Western media who played down the Iranian Revolution three decades back,when their favorite Shah Pahlavi was feeling the peoples power over his despotic rule and now the Iranians are on the streets and rest assured they will know what to do with the destiny of their country and they will do whats best for them, what they are able and capable and not what the Western Governments wish.
I hope Mrs.Clinton finds some peace and time to focus on more burning issues closer to home!
