Here are some of the videos circulating of expressions of opposition as demonstrations in Iran mark the 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution there.

"Referendum! Referendum! That's the slogan of the people!" is chanted in Tehran:

Tehran passengers in a chorus of "Down with the dictator!" posted to YouTube today:

In Sadeghyeh, the corridors of public transit were filled with more, brazen displays of support for opposition leader Mir Hossein Musavi. In this YouTube video, it's "Ya Hossein, Mir Hossein!"

And more "Ya Hossein, Mir Hossein!" in Aryashahr, near Isfahan in central Iran:

Revolutions are made in a moment. Did the Iranians miss that moment?
When are Moussavi, Hashemi, Khatami and Karroubi going to admit that the very creation of the Islamic Republic was a crime? Until and unless they do - there wont be that critical mass needed to turn this ugly page in the Iranian history.
My heart and prayers go to the young people of Iran - who had nothing to do with the mayhem that their parents created by inviting Khomeini and his criminal gang (which included all the aforementioned so called "green leaders")to rule Iran - under the scheme of a "supreme leader"! What bullshit!
These leaders can not keep defending this so called Islamic constitution and expect people to turn out en-mass.
