Its ironic that just a few weeks ago the rulers of Iran were backing Hamas,Hezbollah was active in killing American soldiers in Iraq.They endorsed 'annihillating Israel" and "Death to America" but in just a weekend the streets of Tehran are filled with the "enemy".Not American tanks or bomber jets marked with the Star of David but a people who want a change,for the better,for some semblance of democracy.Thousands of unarmed standing up against the armed.This to me is the real meaning of a martyr than a suicide bomber.The birth pangs of a people wanting freedom are being felt.






Sad as it is, the people of Iran have been clamoring for democracy for quite a few years now. America's "relationship" with Israel, has constantly and consistently portrayed Iran as "evil" and the "devil", and the stupid American citizenry has been buying it lock, stock, and barrel, because their "faith" in christianity has been blinding them from the truth, for years.

Hungry, you never miss an opportunity to bash Israel, do you? I believe what America and Israel were saying is that the Government of Iran is evil, not the people. Thus, another way of looking at this situation is that the US and Israel were right and the educated people of Iran know that their government is evil. Thus, they have been, and continue, trying to overthrow it.

Thankfully, the American people already overthrew their religious fueled, ideological driven, people hating theocracy known as the "republican party".

Now the people of the world see what is happening in America, and they want a piece of the action too.

Iran's version of the "republican party" is under severe fire, and the theocracy is going to end up fading away eventually. If not today, then in a few short years. Just like with America, change is coming, and it IS change for the better.

Some people here are obsessed stupid and ridiculous. Their smug little friendless sickening horse manure of a worldview plays into the schemes of dictators internationally. Women find them weak and men find them repulsive. If they saw themselves as other see them, they'd hang in a Bangkok hotel closet. Like the North Wind, they just ... oh, you know.

...Or we could fan the flames with overt belllicosity by listening to ********* like you and demand regime change in every country we disagree with.

Dear Supreme Leader of Iran. Mr. Obama's comments may have left you somewhat confused. What he is saying is 1. that he has no intention of lifting a finger to help the Iranian masses. 2. he will give you a pass as long as your repression of the people is not too visible.. 3. he expects you to prevail. 4. that he still intends to negotiate with you. So feel free to murder, maim, arrest, persecute, just make sure the world does not see it.

this is the way it is supposed to work. the citizens of iran voted. they believe that the election was rigged, and that the rightful winner was denied a victory. they are doing what they can to effect regime change. we are watching from the sidelines, because they are a sovereign nation, and THEY have to be in charge of their own destiny. we are not the world's daddy--the united states doesn't get to decide how other nations are governed.

You got that right, even Mousavi needs them. Without the Council keeping a lid on things, Iran becomes a real scarey place.

[Sloughfoot]

Religious leaders have been lying to the masses since the first mass was held. Get a life.

Ironic, no?
