Victor Hugo, created one of the masterpieces of the 19th century, Les Miserables. The magnum opus, which was translated in nearly every viable language, many times, as "The miserable ones", "The victims", "The poor" and "The wretched", not only depicts a sad and sorrowful period of French or in general the European history but also can be considered as a factual illustration of moral philosophy, justice, anti-monarchism and even Paris architecture.
What triggered me to think of this superb piece, is this little page I found online regarding the resignation of "Mirhossein Mossavi" from the PM post at the final year of the 8-year war, right before the Geneva convention, which put an end to the war on 1988 or 1367.
I strongly urge to selectively read this small but critical piece of Iran's history facts, here. At least, skim through the letters passed between the three or four monumental figures of Iran's history after revolution, who are Khomeini, Khamanei, Rafsanjani, as the Supremem Leader, President and the Head of Parliament & Head Chief of War.
Frankly, I am neither in the mood nor have the least desire to elaborate, from my eye, what had happened. But the least I can do is just to lay a few facts, I think is critical for the choices that we have to make today, as devoted Persians.
The year was 1988 (1367), when Iranian parents nearly lost ONE MILLION loved ones to the totally unnecessary, and maybe preventable ( just maybe, I can't say I am an expert on war) doomed war.
Most of them, lacked enough education to read the papers or write a simple letter to someone.
I am stunned, how this man Mousavi, has the nerves today to send our second and third generation youth to the streets again only this time to open their chest to the bullets that left Iranian guns instead of Iraqi guns.
The stupid legions of that time struggled for years to find a minister to introduce to the parliament, let alone a Prime minister, now in this situation, he resigns and vanishes for days only to spoil himself for the supreme leader, Khomeini. "Bizarre" is all I can say. The president and Parliament started looking around for him to insist on changing his mind... now that if you truly want him back, how come instead of working with him and supporting him, drove the man mad enough to resignation? Or perhaps he was just seeking attention, I dare say?
Khomeini send him a letter to say exactly what the president Khamenei had already said before in his letter! only this time Mousavi listened and returned back to cabinet?! How weird is that? So it was not about the contents of the letter, but about the writer of it.
What do you think ? He just wanted to spoil himself for the supreme leader? Or he actually needed attention? Or he genuinely required more support from them? But if so, how did he shamefully vanished for a few days when the country is at war? given the awful circumstances of that time...
Did Imam really have that Charisma that everyone just mindlessly listened to him, obeyed without objection? His words were the ultimate rule...
Once Natiq Noori, head of the parliament at one stage, after parliament voted for a singular minister, writes a letter to Imam, as he believed Imam is not quite happy with Parliament's decision. So Natiq tries to enforce Imam's ruling to overrule Parliament's voting. In this incident Imam's reply is interesting actually:
"In the Islamic Republic, except under very unique, hostile circumstances that Islam or the integrity of the regime are at risk and only such decision must be rendered by knowledgeable experts, nobody is allowed to enforce or impose their vote to someone else; and may God forbid that day... I will do my utmost that only be referring a judgement or decision to me, no one's right is ignored, a position is wrecked or a career damaged."
It is , I must say, such a nobel ideology and so big of the master of the Islamic Republic. I also believe that he also believed in whatever he said. And in many cases he was right but the only problem is that the coat he made for our dear Persia, did not fit her. Truly Iran had and still has certain theological and Islamic ethical aspects but what he totally neglected or at best misinterpreted was our deep deep nationalistic aspects. You can, by no means, just all of a sudden diminish 2500 plus years of heritage. They tried and O God, how they tried to diminish our Persian heritage by all means. How they belittled the ceremonies of the last Wednesday of the year, the 4shanbe soori" that our destitute people turned to making bombs and hand grenades instead of happily grooving & jumping over fire made of the year's perished households. So sad ...
Does Khamanei think he either definitely has the same "charisma" or he must somehow find the same "charisma" but nobody actually listens to him? Khomeini was selected by a revolution! where Khamenei was selected by a few ayatollahs whom hardly had any credibility...
Well, people, there are just a million question marks in my head, whirling around that I want to shout them out. But please, for the sake of Iran's future, for the sake of all of us and our children... I beg of you, Do NOT under no desperate circumstances, never ever again trust anyone who had anything to do the so called Islamic Republic. If you think Iran need an Islamic Republic, well at least yell out "We don't want THIS Islamic Republic"... What we have in Iran and have had for the past three decades, was hardly Islamic and never a Republic. Please, do not trust Mousavi. Do not trust anyone whose living was ever supplied by this regime. We need a fresh breath... Not the kind who resigns to call attention. It is such a pitiful waste that you take a bullet while shouting "Mirhossein" in the streets.
God, I start to sound more dramatic everyday. But the fact of the matter is that it certainly is dramatic.
