and the fourth thing is the leadership is coming from among the movement, that the leaders, like mousavi are in fact following the slogans and statements that comes from within the movement. >> can you explain to us why we're seeing pictures today of thousands of demonstrators who are progovernment, for the iranian leader mahmoud ahmadinejad on the other side. what is that about? >> actually the way the government is reacting is also very telling about what is happening in iran. its first reaction has been incredible violence. and that shows that it is moving not from a position of strength but a position of weakness because why would you kill and torture people who have nothing but their voices if you're so confident? so because of the continuity of the demonstrations and because of the weakening within the system itself, so many people joining the opposition, the government had to show that, you know, it has people behind it. and you notice that these people were bussed in from all over the places. rather than bullets, they were welcomed with sandwich and rewarded and given great welco

mousavi. how significant is what's happening in iran or is this another bubbling up of the opposition and the government being able to tamp it down? >> it's significant. the question is is it tiananmen all over again? a government that will be able to, over time, contain this. a few months ago, we would have said, yeah, they'll be able to do that. every time this cycle happens, the iranian opposition seems to come back stroer. that leaves the president three levels of chess to play out. m p wein this coming year. the first american priority is the nuclear program. the administration thinks they have a little bit more time on that. in part because the iranians have run into technical troubles. with the nuclear enrichment program than people thought they had. those troubles, may, in part, be because they have a bad system and gad and old equipment. it may be because there's been a lengthy american and israeli sabotage effort under way. we've been successful in the past. and the israelis have bee

this comes one day after mousavi said he's willing to die for his cause. >>> human rights democracy and of the press, the demands of iranian protesters brought to president obama's front door. about 100 people rallied just outside the white house today and they say the world is looking for answers from president obama. >> if obama doesn't speak up and condemn more strongly the human rights violations and also lend his support more overtly to the green movement, the government will feel further empowered to continue with the rape and torture and killing on the streets. >> the world has watched this on youtube, on facebook. foreign journalists are not allowed to go there. all of these videos has come to us. we've seen how the government has crushed down this movement. >> we've been writing letters to the white house and i think that's the most effective. we've also been doing protests because i feel like if we do protest and it's on video the people in iran will have a little more hope knowing we're with them at the same time. >>> a lot of those protesters are talking about how that amate

mousavi #3 rollout -- we saw the rollout consecutive videos. we saw the same thing with others who was just killed. there's somebody knew that nobody is paying attention to that al qaeda perhaps has positioned to be one of the top three. he has been releasing an writing for years. he just released his first videotape. it made no news. al qaeda, the forms of media and the things that are addressed in the timing is all choreographed i think. i think they have a media council of people and these are people who do have never heard of and will never see. if i knew the answer to some of scott question, i would get more quotes in your newspaper. >> it is a really good question about who controls the media. tbilisi it is important to recognize that when abu yahya was rolled out, he was doing it independently which was likely through networks that for more closely associated with the taliban that they knew from previously. i would not call that an end run. he was separating his power base. it was about one and half years ago when one media organization

i think it is ridiculous when we can read where the british citizens, mousavi was a french citizen --ot stupid. the algerian boy radicalized in london. it is not the poor ones --- the next person will be someone from europe or even domestic. justly believe certain countries, maybe some in the middle east i guess is reasonable, but just labeling countries and a saying that people coming from nigeria or other places will make any difference. al qaeda keeps changing. not addressing the ideas of radicalization in different countries of europe is going to cost us down the line. guest: the caller encapsulates everything a lot of people are saying. the problem is if you focus on certain countries you might miss other things. if you remember, just before this christmas day attempt we were having a lot of discussions in this country about radicalization here. there had been a spate of incidences' involving u.s. nationals are people with permit residents here who were radicalized by the internet with some of these imams. the caller points out a very good question. if you just focus on people fr

i think it is ridiculous when we can read where the british citizens, mousavi was a french citizen -- al qaeda is not the next person isn't going to -- the nigerian boy was radicalized in london. it's not the poor, fanatics in this country that are going to get visas to come to the u.s. the next person will be someone from europe or even domestic terrorists that are going to do something. and just labeling certain countries, i mean, maybe some countries in the middle east. i guess it's reasonable. but just labeling countries and saying that, oh, you know, people coming in from nigeria are going to be patted down. i don't think it's going to make any difference. and al-qaeda keeps changing their techniques and tactics. i think, you know, not addressing the issue of radicalization in europe, in france, in spain, in italy, in england is going to cost us down the line. that's just my views. thank you. >> guest: i think the caller points exactly to -- i mean, she encapsulates what a lot of people are saying and the problem is if you focus on certain countries, then you might be missing oth
