    Mousavi is more of a terrorist than Ahmedinejad

    It appears that Mir Hossein Mousavi, the defeated candidate in Iran, has credible connections to some of the worst terror actions of the 1980s.

    Paul Criag Roberts, in an article, links Mousavi to the 1983 bombing in Lebanon which killed over 200 US marines and to other acts of terror. Mousavi was prime minister of Iran at the time. Ahmedinejad did not have significant power at the time.

    Mousavi was still prime minister at the time of the Iran-contra affair, in which Israel supplied hi-tech weapons to Iran.

    The most relevant thing about Mousavi seems to be his keenness to denationalise/privatise Iranian oil. His new found enthusiasm for the womens' movement has the whiff of Langley/Soros about it.

    So far as I know, in his long career he has no track record in terms of promoting democratic rights.
