Iran the land of poetry and art and carpets is changing . She remains a very religious country fully entrenched in Shia Islam.Grip of the guards is total, militarily.
Something is changing under the surface.Total control is being dissipated. People are not getting excited about crying wolf about America and its involvement.America is keeping its hands off.
We do not know how the power will play out and world hopes moderates win .Even if they do not win rift is showing a side of life in Iran we have not seen.From the protests it is becoming clear that Iran may be very conservative yet it allows very high education for women. Women's education translates into higher education for the whole country.It seems Iran has the highest education of women in the family of Islamic countries.Most interesting thing is that they have done this under the harsh control of all male leadership of the country and machismo of Ahmadinejad vitrolic president.
This is soft revolution ,which impacts all sectors of life .Once the higher education genie is out and has women as its Guru's you can not put it back.It is going to be proved that pen( proxy for knowledge ) will defeat muscles(power of gun ).
These are tools of non violence and feminine power.We can always nurture feminine side of us even the males like me.
