It's hard to realize from the mainstream media that there is a revolution on the streets of Iran. This is the bloggers' revolution, and the twitterers'. One thing about modern technologies, is that it's a lot harder to hide and repress dissension. Not when all you need is a cell phone and 140 characters. Wish them luck.
Off their motorbikes and disarmed, those thugs are not so tough, eh?!?!
ReplyDeleteI hear that the Supreme Leader has backtracked on his God made a miracle and has called for an investigation.
I wish that people in the USA would have engaged in massive, non-violent protests after the electoral irregularities in 2000 in Florida and 2004 in Ohio. These folks in Iran are very courageous. I don't wish them luck. I wish them Godspeed and total success. After eight years of George Bush I can certainly empathize with their dislike of their own president.
