Main Opposition Leaders in Iran Call for Rally

Main Opposition Leaders in Iran Call for Rally

A protest on Feb. 11 would be the first rally since 10 people were killed and hundreds were wounded in cities across Iran on Dec. 27.

  1. Moharebeh should not be applied to people who are walking in a public place declaring out loud to their government that they are asking them for a political change that will better their lives. It is hypocritical for the "force" to proclaim itself as God by hanging two men. If protesters are still prevailing through their demise then isn't it fair for the government or even law officials to tell their government that they can pay their people the decency by listening to their concerns? When citizens in a nation is happy chances are it will improve the country and more imperatively the government. What good is there in polarizing your authority as cruel? Power should help not destroy. I forget who says this, I believe it was the philosopher Thomas Hobbs "power corrupts and it corrupts absolutely." Ghandi had an immense amount of power but he did not submit to corruption. Therefore power doesn't always have to be used in crippling its people, it can also liberate them. I believe that the protesters marching in the Islamic Revolution wanted liberation not only for themselves but for their country and its government.
