Next week, these workers will confront President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's administration through a series of one-hour strikes designed as a show of solidarity with imprisoned trade unionists.

I must say, it is rather rare to find Amir really getting practical, and writing about the resistance movement in Iran. For so long he used to make the Seyyeds look far worse than they really were. Finally he is encouraging the nonviolent resistance movement. He is not reciting the history Rome this time, thank goodness. Well done old chap, about time.
So less defeatism, more positive thinking along the lines of General Strikes, and maybe we Iranians will find our way of of this mess. We need every journalist inside and out of Iran, to write about the benefits of bringing the whole country to a halt.
People should question the strength of the Seyyeds more against passive resistance. Some should ask the public figureheads "what will you do if you did not get your bread tomorrow?" The recipie has worked for so many other countries, and it will work for Iran.
But we must keep our calm, and let the Spirit of Iran keep us bound together with our peaceful attitude. We can take the Seyyed anger and not resort to violence.
