Tehran Iran in flames and the new, peaceful revolution of the young Green Wave.

of Ahmad Rafat

Many realists all, they gave up for dead a few weeks ago the popular uprising in the Republic Islamic. The reasons for this pessimistic analysis, or perhaps optimistic, were different. This movement has no organized leadership, young people are without ideology, the Ahmadinejad government holds a firm grip on power, and the Pasdaran are strong, were the main arguments used by those who foresaw the death of the vast popular movement that has taken the name of ' Onda Verde. It 's true that this movement is not homogeneous in its composition has no leadership. It is this wealth of ideas present in the wave Verde to determine its strength and determination.
in Tehran and in major Iranian cities, as opposed to the revolution 31 years ago, are not the masses who are dragged in the streets the proclamations of the leaders, but they are the leader, or assumed, to having to run to a people who, with his determination to halt 31 years of Islamic regime. Several times in recent months has forced the square characters of reference of the green movement, those who mistakenly and simplifications are defined leader in the Western press, to correct their positions. Mir Hossein Mussawi, according to the man who was defeated in the Iranian presidential election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad last June 12, was forced to correct their initial positions under which the Islamic Republic was untouchable. What seemed to many a weakness Green Wave, has proved its strength. The fact that the Green Wave is not ideological proved a major asset. Have as a common denominator of all the human rights movement, has so far neutralized all attempts of the leadership of the Islamic Republic of causing divisions and splits within Onda Verde, which continues on his way, strengthening day by day . The other element that has characterized so far this vast movement of people for a civil society governed by law, and non-violence. Despite the strong repression, the dead in the streets, arrests and violence in prisons, hundreds of thousands of people in recent months have demonstrated in the streets of the country, have not committed a single act of violence. "Ours is a new revolution, we replaced the kalashinkov with the phone," he wrote on my facebook page of a young Iranian revolutionaries. It is no coincidence that the most common measure adopted by the government of Ahmadinejad in the most tumultuous days was to suspend the SMS service and to reduce the speed of the Internet. The demonstrations, rallies and protests are not called by political organizations or opposition figures. They are ordinary people who through social networks and text messages to organize protests. Even the slogans of each event are the result of discussions on facebook and on websites. A new way of doing politics, which has disarmed the established power, and has surprised the international experts. Faced with what is happening in Iran, governments and the Western powers can not be limited to "condemn" violence against the demonstrators, or to "invite the government and the opposition to dialogue." There is no room for more dialogue between the Iranians and who has stolen the outcome of recent elections. There is even more space for dialogue between the international community and the Iranian regime. The time available to the Ahmadinejad government has expired and the extra time is only possible with a bloody repression, with tanks occupying the field. And the West must descend from the stands, if it wants to remain a spectator of a new massacre.
