For Persians, their true flag is still the famous gold colored "Lion & Sun" emblem on the same tri-colored (Green, White and Red). This sacred flag was banned by the Mullah Regime in its effort to minimize the feelings of Nationalism amongst the Persians.
The rulers keep silent in arab world, but the peope debate. Iran is the number one topic in arab channles since days in arab countries. Lively disscussion on the streets and bloggers comment fascinated the courage of the Iranian population. They ask when arab world will follow the path that Iranians have started.
The TV channel Al Arabija from Dubai was the first foreign news organization whose Office in Tehran was closed before the BBC correspondent was kicked out from the country because of unfair reporting.
Egyptian President Husni Mubarak lost no word so far. Jordan monarch and Saudi Arabia Royal are silent and the smaller Gulf States send cautious signals even they are not happy with Iran´s nuclear policy and its support of Hizbollah and Hamas.
"We believe that interference in the internal affairs of Iran is unacceptable", said the Foreign Minister of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Abdullah al Nahyan and added: all countries in the Middle East are in the same boat. Nobody has an interest in becoming a victims of instability.
"Where is my voice"
The most arab countries are afraid of the democratic virus which can reach their own population. Hundreds of thousands op people on the streets with posters "where is my voice" just like in Tehran – it is a nightmare for Kings and Presidents of the arab word.
The newspapers in Egypt, Saudi Arabian, and Syria are limited to daily reports and they ignore the green revolution in Iran because they don´t want to have the same conflict in their cities. But the question is how long they can hide the truth about Iran.
