It has taken seven months and countless victims for the word "revolution" to be used to describe the protests in Iran. Why? There has been a tireless campaign, including by some Iranians outside Iran, to reduce the Green Movement to a call for "reforms" that keep the current government in place, with a few changes here and there.
Not so. What we are witnessing on the streets of Tehran and other cities is nothing short of a revolution - a carefully orchestrated, years-in-the-making attempt to overthrow a corrupt and repressive regime and replace it with something fundamentally more free, democratic and secular.
