I think you're right about the revolution... but I heard someone say (an Iranian beign interviewed) that Iran was for the young. Hopefully any bloodshed is relatively small and the right people come out on top. I wish our President would provide the necessary moral and logistical support, but I'm not that hopeful.

The country is controlled by theocracy based on hate and destruction. The only hope for these people is to move away from this theocracy and establish a sectarian democratic government. I can not see this happening without a bloody and devastating revolution. It is heartbreaking to see a people suffer so much and the suffering that is in store for them on the future.

Hmmm, wonder if the person who got it going picked the color in order to trick a few lefties into joining the cause.

Are we broadcasting Voice of America into Iran? Are we making available satellite signals for Internet and TV. Are we making clandestine contact with operatives in Iran -- do we even have such contacts? Newspapers should be denouncing this sham election from the roof tops. We denigrate the New York Times, but people around the world still care some about it. They could do a big service giving moral support to these protesters -- ditto CNN.

I think that the President needs to make a statement about the benefits of democracy. Even if he doesn't really believe in it. That’s a good question, Bear.

Egregious. But back then regime toppling of the bad guys was considered a good thing. People yearning for freedom - that's such a George W. Bush thing. Never thought a nation uprising against its dictatorship would be put to the realpolitik test, and be split across political lines, but that is what the Obama administration hath wrought. May you have a jolly cold day in hell. The three major network news shows did better during Tienanmen Square 20 years ago, with a fraction of the air time. Egregious.
