Cracks appear in Mousavi's 'Green Path'

It was the Mousavi's camp's claim that the election was stolen and the pivotal slogan "Where is my vote?" that gave rise to the green movement. Disputing the election, millions of protesters fought to force the government to overturn the electoral outcome and hold a new election. Those demands no longer exist, nor does the enthusiastic devotion of the protesters supporting it. Many observers, both in the West and inside Iran, didn't see the events as a simple protest against vote rigging. They assessed it as a popular uprising against the establishment, a theory that has strong merit. But if this is the case, why are the voices of dissent diminishing to a whisper? The answer may lie in the inherent contradiction between the nature of the supporters and the core values and philosophies of the founders of the reform movement.
