Robert Fisk: Battle for the Islamic Republic - Robert Fisk, Commentators - The Independent
Robert Fisk: Battle for the Islamic Republic - The Independent Robert Fisk is a rare thing nowadays - an in-the-thick of it honest reporter. A Brit who has specialized in the Middle East who won't be interviewed by CNN because of their "distorted" reporting. He has been in Iran since the contentious election. His daily articles are a sensitive notation of history rolling along. He samples the people's hope, naivite and courage. He measures the choices the big players now have. Check them out.
"What we are now seeing is a regime which is far more worried than the Supreme Leader suggested when he threatened the opposition so baldly on Friday. Having refused any serious political dialogue with Mousavi and his opposition comrades – a few district recounts will produce no real change in the result – the Iranian regime, led by a Supreme Leader who is frightened and a president who speaks like a child, is now involved in the battle for control of the streets of Iran. It is a conflict which will need the kind of miracle in which Khamenei and Ahmadinejad both believe to avoid violence." ... from Sunday 21 June.
