As the year comes to an end, so does the Sea of Green, fading gently into the evening. Western media has all but washed it's infidel hands of Mir Moussavi and his feeble attempt to overthrow the Islamic Republic of Iran's government. Social media networks such as twitter, and facebook are largely silent of protesters voices. On twitter, a small band of dedicated, fundamentalist pro-Mousavi students remains. However, that is about the extent of the once vaunted Sea of Green's reach outside of Iran. Inside Iran the situation is no more promising. The core of Mousavi's support is now centered almost entirely around young college students. These people have neither the intellectual prowess to realize how Mousavi is using them. They listen to his wordseffectively challenge the regime. They are in a precarious position. Mousavi's brainwashing attempts are responsible for sending dozens to prison cells every day. The heart of Iran- it's children- is being torn assunder by the power hungry Mousavi and his Sea of Green.
The remainder of Iran is wisely staying on the sidelines. The battle is, for all intent and purposes, already over. The regime's grip on power is stronger than ever. It is arresting Mousavi's supporters by the hundreds. Mousavi and Karroubi will be next. How do they retalliate against the regime?

And so ends the Sea of Green....not with a bang but a whimper.
