Iranian Populism!!

Mir Hossein Mousavi is running for President of Iran. He sounds like a guy our Military Industrial Complex would like to kill. Not because he is a threat to the US and it's "interests" in the region, but because he is as close to a populist progressive as you can get in Iran. He could bring us closer to Iran, something our warmongers are deathly scared of. There isn't enough money and terror in opening up Iran to the West. It is more profitable, a better business model, to keep us at each others throats.

It's a great photograph, long slender beautiful hopeful fingers forming a symbol that cuts through all the rhetoric and hate and lies and duplicity. Love. From one working class American to all working class Iranians - WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Friday is V day for the Iranians. I hope the moderates win, so Iran can re-enter the confraternity of nations.
