THE REVOLUTION OF 79 TO THE ELECTION OF FRAUD 09

30 years have passed since the Iranian revolution to overthrow the Shah of Persia, Mohammad Reza Pahlevi, 30 years after the instigators of that popular uprising against that regime lacking in freedom and democracy, although close to the westernization of the country, found that a new generation of Iranian manifested through the streets and fight for democracy in Iran lack.

It is clear that democracy is on hold in Iran if you stick to the assertions of the Guardian Council spokesman Abbas Ali Kadkhodaí, which stated categorically that in these elections have been cleaner since the 1979 revolution, it should be mind that such statements themselves locked in an anti-germ, since they imply that there has always been manipulation in the election results, and makes it clear that democracy will never come to Iran for this reason must be put in quarantine at the Iranian regime, for fear that a change at the helm of politics in this country has decided to continue arguing for electoral fraud values that drove the Islamic Revolution of 1979 which the leader of ultraconservative Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the main political representative.

On the other hand there is the opposition led by the reformist Musavi which attempts to open bridges of dialogue with the West and is to take into account two basic factors before they worth the intentions of the opposition to the current regime, Mr Musavi, the first factor we consider is that change can bring Musavi reformist leader to a country which is still living under the religious obscurantism closest to the fifteenth century, and where religion is one of the pillars of the current political system that country, although it must be remembered that 79 out of the revolution led the religious leader Ruhollah Khomeini, for this reason should be asked whether Musavi really bring a deep reform of the system or if you are going to have other sources as noted a struggle for political power in Iran, because if we look carefully at the demonstrators in favor of Musavi, are dissatisfied with the youth policy of the government and especially women, the latter would have to ask what kind of democracy they want? and if the reformist leader once in power will bring that kind of democracy to the country of the ayatollahs.

Furthermore, the second factor to consider is Musavi and west, it is clear that Musavi is closer to the West that Ahmadinejad and the West would welcome the change of leadership in Iran, but the first question I What is a change of political regime in Iran, opened the doors of atomic energy in this country in the medium or long term?, since a system of openness to the West would close the political stability in one of the most troubled areas of the world today thanks in part to U.S. foreign policy in the last 8 years, it would be nice to see a turnaround in this country but we must bear in mind that regardless of whether or not the social realities of that country will not change much, since we could say that rather sobering experience with regard to the political changes in countries in the region say the example of Afghanistan, a country that was invaded in order to bring it democracy and freedom, after a long list of military casualties most American things remain exactly the same as it is still normal to see women with a burka in the street.
  
In conclusion I believe that there is no illusion with the possibility that a regime change in Iran could lead the country to democracy and full freedom to the Iranian society, for two main reasons, the first is that those who currently control in power in Iran will not give it and that seems to have made quite clear in their statements as being in opposition to the enemies of the revolution of 79, see Musavi, the man who can shake the foundations of fundamentalism Islamic Iran, the second reason is that while coming to power Musavi, this would be difficult to carry out the opening for Iranian society because society still remember the scars left by the Shah in Iran's attempt to westernise'their, the third and final reason is that behind the popular uprising that has emerged around the electoral fraud in the country, supporters of the current regime and see the black hand of ruthless and accuses the West of feed and this is just what they need to keep on perpetuating power, but have forgotten something essential, and they are acting the same way as did the tyrannical Shah to remain in power.
