I see your point. What we are not seeing is as important as what we're seeing. People shot by plain clothed supporters of the regime. Well, heck, give it's a demonstration with tens of thousands of people, you're always gonna have some nuts. Did they shoot him because he was setting a fire in a store? That's what gets me. Reporting. Facts. Questions. Not propaganda. I've lived through four wars, so I tend to be cautious. Cautious is pensive, not stupid. Personally, I could let them all go by the weighside, they hijacked our plane with passengers, they "were" degenerates. Perhaps they are evolving. Was that the Government that held us and Carter hostage or the People of Iran? It was the Government of Iran. If you've been at Normandy, you don't forget Nazi politics. If you've been at the "Demilitarized Zone" of Korea, you've learned Orwellian Doublethink, and with Iran, stop cutting off their clitorises, idiots.

Al Gore said that he highly disagreed with the Supreme Court's Decision but that he accepted it. He didn't want people hurt. He probably continued to fight from within and you may have the result as your president. I question wheather the loser in Iraq is doing the right thing. There have been lives lost. That doesn't mean kiss tail. It means be smart. Perhaps it's best he's not in power.

Everyone stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Iran. Wave the flag of Iran, Wear green. Protest for freedom in Iran. Enough oppression, enough tyranny, enough dictatorship. FREE IRAN

I meant to say that we have NOW hit upon.

[tlharrisedfgert]

Well said. I really appreciate that comment. However, I've read that no world power has lasted more than 250 years in contemporaty history. "Red" China is a propagandistic name. They have basically conquered the world from the Ming Dynasty to the Hun. There is no truth to the 250 year tendency when you consider that countries have the capacity to repeat their dominance over time. There is no "destiny" as you say. With the right leader in place at the time, which I firmly believe we have not hit upon, we can maintain, or recover, what you've lost faith in.

rom some of the newscasts it looks like the protesters are going all the way. The govt hasn't brought out the troops yet but that will be next. Hopefully they can hold out and maybe Rafsanjani can pull some miracle with the higher ups that Khatami report to. It certainly does make Iran look like an oppressive nation ala Burma and Zimbawe . Where is the UN? No human rights condemnation? People and countries like Venezuela should take note as their own govt is close to doing this to their people. If this is what their govt does to their people think what they would do their perceived enemies, Israel, if they had nuclear weapons? Iran is not a responsibile country. The world needs to support these people. Finally Obama has come out hard against the govt of IRan. If the protesters do win, what will they say to the US- you played it safe to see who you could bargain with. If the leading democracy in the world doesn't support these people, who will? and what does that say to our friends?

That's what I have been saying. We have the same Dictatorship here only it is called Democrats and Republicans, no matter which is in office, the people get screwed. The only way to get Americans off the couch is to riot for their sports teams. They will not stand up and fight for their own freedom and their rights under the Constitution. And the scary part is they choose not to see just how much control our government has over us.

[OLEANDER_]

You do all that hollering and screaming at something that has nothing to do with us, while Goldman Sucks and JP Morgan are stealing trillions of taxpayer money and storing it off-shore.


perfectly worded!! Excellent post!

[IrishWench01]

Haaha! As a former Philly girl I can appreciate that.

I find it interesting that the folks in Iran seem to be raisin hell because they think they got cheated in the election.

I wonder why you never see that kind of thing over here when we're getting cheated day in and day out by lying scheming politicians who've sold us out?

Those folks seem to have some guts, while folks here seem to be asleep.

I geuss we're too civilized to stand up for ourselves.

These are the same fire-breathing, neo-cons who frothed-at-the-mouth, when President Hugo Chavez won 2 historical back-to-back landslide elections.

Then Condileeza Con testified before Congress after she stupidly tried to topple Chavez in a defunct coup de tat, and said: "We do have freedom-fighters in Venezuela and we believe they will be successfull in their goals of freedom and prosperity for the Venezuelan people".

Neo-cons, never cease to amaze me with their hypocricy.

[whitemale08]

I don't see any of you rabid, fire-breathing, frothing-at-the-mouth, blood-seething, having a seizor, flesh-eating neo-cons strapping on any uniforms and jumping on the first plane to Iran.

Instead you're hiding behind around the internet with a mouse in your hand, shooting your mouth off in these forums.

You do all that hollering and screaming at something that has nothing to do with us, while Goldman Sucks and JP Morgan are stealing trillions of taxpayer money and storing it off-shore.

Nobody can respect cowards and hypocrites, no matter how loud they shout!

[rhs648]

Sounds like you are doing the shouting and that you appear rabid as well.

[YrSoWrong]

Ironic, no?

[beentheir1]

What is Obama doing that is EXACTLY RIGHT, in keeping his mouth shut, and hoping that everything will come out clean!!!

[whitemale08]

As far as you neo-cons, quit poking your bugary nose into other peoples business.

Here's Druggie Limbaugh the other day:

Caller: "What do you want Obama to do...go in an bomb the place so we can set up McDonalds and call it freedom?"

Druggie: "....well Obama can't just sit around and do nothing."


This pea-brain mentality has got to be, got to be driven out of our society some way some how.

[beentheir1]

If this was the streets of Bagdad, it would have been Bush's falt, so that must make this Bush's falt, also!
Way to go their Mr. G W Bush!!

[Illuminated1]

I commend the courage of the Iranian peoples all be it has taken 30 years to realize and condemn the "free" people of the U.S. for putting up with 8 years of a hijacked presidency here at home for the inaction only the so called "left" had the balls to draw fire for.
Protesters were ridiculed and called unpatriotic, they were called communists and lunitics by those who find it easy to label people fighting for the constitution that previous administration used as toilet paper.
I say they have more patriotic guts than many of you so called americans.

[ABM_21]

Can anyone say Tianamen Square?

[johninpennsyl]

Is that photo supposed to show a large police presence? We need more than that for a Saturday night riot on South Street in Philly.
