Quote:Because he's so popular?
Yes. He's popular because he's nobody's man, but the Iranian people's man. He's concerned about making Iran strong and powerful and advanced, something the West obviously do not like one bit. The kinds of leaders that flourish under the Western domination of the region, are those who act as minders of the West's resources that accidentally got deposited in the wrong locations (ie. other people's countries).
Quote:What was that dissent that was voiced during the Green Revolution
It was a joke. It gained absolutely no traction amongst the people, unlike the revolutions against the Western puppets in the Arab lands, which gained instant traction amongst millions. You'd better take a long hard think about that one.
Quote:bearing in mind that Iranians don't like the West and hence could not be stirred up by the West
I don't think Iranians nor Arabs dislike the West, they dislike the West controlling them and sucking their resources dry.
There's no doubting though that Mousavi and his cohorts are indeed Western lackeys, who eye themselves as occupying a Mubarak-type position in Iran, if ever they manage to weasel their way in.
