In the name of God the Merciful and Gracious.
recalled in our recent history of the 13th Aban (November 7 [sic]) at three events. The first event is the exile of Imam Khomeini into exile 13 years of recession and the beginning of the movement.
After being able to bring the motion by the exile of the Imam to silence, wondered the Shah's regime as to why this was not done earlier. There was an uprising and an imam, and away as the imam had remained, nothing of the spirit (of motion) remain. Was the Imam really alone in this movement he started? Never. It's never been that a person (alone) a company may change. He had many followers, but the trailers were not like the friends who surrounded him years later when he said: "Our leader is this 13 year old child ..."
(translator's note: This refers to the story of 13 year old Hossein Fahmideh of Qom, who threw during the Iran-Iraq war in the southern Iranian city of Shahr Khoram in 1980 with a hand grenade at Iraqi tanks to .. to stop the Iraqi troops Ayatollah Hossein Khomeini Fahmideh later declared a national hero, it is not clear that this story has happened actually so

The second event on 13 Aban is the day the 13 year old leader.
students gathered at Tehran University to protest, and died a violent death. This reaction was bloody on the experience of the regime in the 40's due (1960 according to European calendar). They [the regime] thought that if they would act with resolution and then, they would again achieve the same incredible results. But the basis of society had changed. The establishment of the monarchy could no longer against an imam. This time, people gathered around the Imam that he might not as well known as their fathers had known him, which perhaps had not heard his speeches, but just as much spirit and energy carried in their hearts as the imam himself, unlike their fathers, they needed to be not only suppressed, or so much to see evil in order to join the movement.
much is on the third 13th Aban was said. It is unlikely that there is something else, what was not said about it.
This includes the fact that the imam at that time followed the Muslim students. On the surface, the students designated as supporters (followers) of the imam, but in reality it was the imam of the followed what they did. None of the leaders and commanders of the Revolution played a role in what was to happen that day.
Even the students themselves thought that everything within a few days to be over and they would return home. But the Imam was the events and described it as a revolution that was larger than the first. has only an imam who has tasted the bitterness of a thirteen-year exile, knows that a society living under strict and stringent rules, and no mind has no existence healthy. He preferred to let the people lead, for he knew that a historic milestone on the way to the welfare of a nation is not enough. The nation must have enough knowledge and insight to be able to choose every day and always distinguish the false from the right and the right way. Today our nation is our leader, and that is the great desire that the imam had for them. He invited us to things that promise life.
And now approaching the 13th Aban, the greenest day of the year. It is now conceivable that the flame of the popular movement will be extinguished if a country man is silenced? If that happens, we lose the fruits of 45 years of our history and our struggle. And if it happens, it will be a sign of the roots of our revolutionary spirit. What We made green that we have relied on these roots, roots that, if we neglect them, making the would do what our opponents. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that we address such extreme efforts carefully.
Our movement will not benefit from the fact that we leave Islam the followers of superstition and the revolution of the incompetent and from the path of traditional, neglecting the fruits of 100 years of struggle and replace this heritage by improperly aligned and distorted images are of this heritage alienate.
If certain foreign governments insist on such trends, then perhaps because they have personal interests in it. If need be, they are at the negotiating table of the current Iranian movement turn their backs, they will be content with little freedom and little political progress it has in neighboring countries. And we can not blame that. We are the ones who deserve the accusations, if we are not the interests of our own country as represented.
do these days all people to win. When will we achieve it? As we will rapidly lead to victory? And we'll add it to perfect it? Our entire existence is prayer and consultation, and we are satisfied from the words of the Lord, who said that he will give us more of what we want [from the Koran: And he gave some of what you have requested]. The mere fact that has emerged in society, a claim means that no one can make this claim in his way, and governments can at most influence factors such as time, scope and form of implementation.
Can we influence these factors? Yes. [From the Koran] Man is rewarded only to the extent that he has used his intelligence and his insight. In the last few months our people have been blessed with the reward of their own wisdom.
Our green path is a path of rationality. It shows that we are responsible for our persistent demands. Would we be extremists would certainly be nothing left of us left. Extreme enthusiasm in the end leads to no enthusiasm at all.
An example is the foreign policy of this government. At the same time she was busy watering our international relations with propaganda and refused to appear moderate and intelligent, it was obvious that they would soon sell the interests of our people for nothing. Sixteen years ago were neither the media nor the politicians, the development of nuclear fuel to be particularly important. Today it seems that a large part Iran's nuclear program, which has caused so much chaos and penalties for our people, are placed in the hands of another country shall, in the hope that they are kind enough to give something back to us later for fuel. Is this a victory? There is an obvious deception, if it is referred to as "the greatest victory" [here he refers to Ahmadinejad's speech].
Politicians have neither the problems of the world [had announced that Ahmadinejad] solved strengthened the rights of their own people - they were even willing to circumvent those rights fully. They have shown that they are also yielding extremists. Even if it
with can succeed with help from friends, to prevent the loss of the achievements of the Iranian nuclear program that was not the last extremism, and their actions will pave the way for more sanctions and even more isolation of Iran.
What can we learn from this is that we must even avoid extremism. Sooner or later - and with God's help it will be sooner - those who oppose the people will go. If on that day only remain a ruined country?
What we now have to worry about are the interests of our country, and no one other than the rightful owners of this country, to employ. We must now begin to build up the morning.
We must be prepared so that we will not surprise them when suddenly the morning shows. Each of us must feel the great responsibility that lies on our shoulders.
Our continuous demand for the application of the Constitution is a key to building the future. With this approach, we will have a light that guides us in the dark, and we will not replace the efforts of past generations of feet.
Whatever remains in our hearts and desires [which is not part of the Constitution] we will seek in our lives, formal structures for the most part do not reflect the higher realities that exist in society. The greater reality is what is going on in our lives. The superficial structures can arrest the children of the revolution and how criminals in jail and feature them in humiliating lift, but people can look at these pictures and feel pride, and they can just make these pictures into heroes.
Who is the winner of this confrontation? The superficial structure can condemn these people in show trials, and the people will be the final judge of these processes. Which of them is the true government of the society? The
superficial structure can degrade these families and try to shame them with their abuse, but while these families are suffering, people know more that they are brave and honorable.
Which of these two views will win the hearts of the families? Consider, so far we have only talked about the power that exists in the eyes of the people, and do not have the power with which they can still do other things. The superficial structures can force these families in isolation, but the people will embrace it. Which of these two is truly triumph?
The superficial structures can refer the students from the dorms, because they Have committed crimes, to express their opinion. You can rob them of their livelihoods, social networks, but they can strengthen their support.
Which of these powerful groups?
But it's the wrong way to ask this question, because really there is no confrontation between these two units. The one, the other is not. It is our life, that every thing in the external order of society gives meaning. We have changed in recent months, the company, not by destroying their outer order, but as we have changed IHER importance. We need to destroy any order, but if we are we claim her direction at all costs.
This will continue to be our way. When have so many parts of our Constitution ignored, then this means that there is no difference between good and bad laws. Even if the political structure of our country in the best order would be what is the value, when life gives you no credibility, no meaning? If our lives they do not approve of, nor seeks for her? Likewise, if this structure would be backward or wrong, we could only try to correct them when we first correct their meaning, and this we do with the path we follow in our lives.
There are so many nations, who choose not to exercise this power, but leave the power in the hands of the powerful. They will not give their company. But we will do it.
The 13th Aban is the vow that reminds us that people are the leaders. I send my best wishes to the Iranian people for the day, and I ask the Lord for freedom, patience and ask that the perpetrators of this day, some of whom are in prison and others are held as hostages of the Green Movement, received the reward deserve it.
